Brian gives Hunter driving lessons

[mysid.livejournal.com]

zooeyrye posted a request for Brian/Hunter fics. It reminded me of one I recently reread, but I can't remember the title.

It's a post-513 fic. Justin is is NYC, and Brian is missing him terribly. Brian/Justin are the focus of the story, but there is a small side plot:

Brian runs into Hunter at the diner, and the two of them begin meeting for clandestine trysts. Just when the reader wants to smack Brian in the head, Debbie-style, it is revealed that they are meeting so Brian can give Hunter driving lessons. Hunter's ex-girlfriend has jumped to the same erroneous conclusion as many readers, but Brian sets her straight by explaining that he's sort of Hunter's uncle and teaching him to drive. Brian talks the ex into giving Hunter a second chance.

Update: It's From a Safe Distance by bigboobedcanuck. And as vlredreign has pointed out, the story takes place while Justin's in LA, post S4, not NYC, post S5. It's well worth a read in any case!

I just read this! But I can't remember the name!

I'll check my Kindle when I get home and see the last one I read!

I just read it too! I downloaded it to my laptop to read in the car, but I still went blank on the title.

From A Safe Distance, by bigboobedcanuck. You can find it in her Memories at her LJ.

It's not post 513. It's set post 414, Justin is in LA, and it's an HIV scare story. The side plot is Brian whiling away the time in the Pitts, teaching Hunter to drive.
