Brian robbed in 110, Michael's fault & Justin is hurt

[iwantyousafejb.livejournal.com]

Okay so I was just watching clips on YouTube and just finished watching the scene of Brian coming home with his 'personal trainer' to find that the loft had been robbed. Justin apparently forgot to set the alarm before leaving for Molly's b-day party. That got me thinking about a story I read not to long ago that was Anti-Michael. He wanted Justin gone and thought it would be perfect to set him up and get the loft robbed like Justin forgot to set the alarm and all but when the robbers show up, Justin is actually home and he is attacked. I remember him being tied to one of the beams and like tortured and when Brian gets home he ends up passing out when he sees Justin. I don't remember much else and can't remember the name or the author. Also, I've looked in the Anti-Michael tag and can't seem to find it either. So, any help would be great. Thanks! <3

It's Blood and Fire by Starema. Click on "author: starema" under the tags, scroll down a bit and you should find it.

Thank you!

Why do you know such stories, April? WHY!?? *orders brain bleach in bulk*

...starema...blearg!(gouge my eyes)... The one author who could have made me run from this fandom and never look back if I had read her/him first...

The very mention of that story (or any of her stories) gives me a very bad reaction...sorry about that.

I don't think I'll be able to get the scene with kitchen appliances out of my memory anytime soon. WHY was I cursed with this compulsive curiosity of mine!?

[elvenfixation.livejournal.com]

Kichen appliances? Don't tell me, I'd rather not remember...

Thank goodness, I think the details are starting to fade a little after five years.

"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Although given that the "torture by kitchen implements" scene DOES require brain bleach, I think we can let it slide this time.

From working here, lol. The dangers of modding/tagging.

It's "Blood and Fire" (http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=7883&textsize=0&chapter=1) by Starema

[iwantyousafejb.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you!

[britinmanor.livejournal.com]

Is it a "GOOD" story? Does it have a "good" ending?

Thanks... Cathy

I'm pretty sure it's actually a WIP and I believe it's abandoned. In the last chapter Emmett and Justin are talking about Kinnetic and it just cuts off.

I got as far as part 3 and I can tell with a certainty that it is not a "good" story. LOL. It is needlessly gruesome, lacks emotional depth and doesn't star any recognizable QAF characters.

Thanks! I've had 2 bad experiences with stories. So, Now I ask :-)

I appreciate the response - rinmonsterer -

[momentsgoneby.livejournal.com]

Well, taste is so subjective, but I would personally never recommend it to someone even if it had been finished.

[britinmanor.livejournal.com]

I see that Chapter 20 was written on 4-15-06, and the rest aren't dated. Maybe it is an abandoned story? Does anyone know for sure? Is the author still active? Thanks Everybody!

I'm sure I haven't seen anything new by this author in years. And let's all be grateful if she moved on.

Back when I was young and foolish and new to QAF I tried two of her stories and have regretted it ever since. There are a lot of great qaf writers and even okay ones, and then there are people who simply lack the skill to create a coherent story...
