Brian buys Justin a car with a stick shift - FOUND

[mmmorpheusq.livejournal.com]

I recently re-read this fic and I know it's on my hard drive, but damned if I can remember the title. The car is a minor detail in the story, not the plot. Brian buys himself a new car, and also one for Justin. But when Justin gets in, he discovers that the car is stick-shift, and he has to have the auto salesman teach him how to drive it.

Bonus Question: There are so many fics in which Justin's driving the Jeep, when Brian's loaded or otherwise isn't the driver, but I can't remember him ever doing that in the show. Canon? Or not?


Thanks!

P.S. Yes, I checked the links without success.

FOUND by asmithereens: It's chapter 12 of Negation by Jane.

Oh, crap! I know this fic! It was a Mercedes, wasn't it? And Brian bought one too. Was it Wren's fic? Experiment or the S5 redux?

Oh, that's fanon, btw. We only ever see Justin drive Daphne's Neon and his mom's car.

It's not Experiment, in that he gets some fugly car that Brian hates when Brian gets the 'Vette back from Vance :)

I remember the other one too, but can't for the life of me remember which it is, I just didn't want mmmorpheusq to get his/her hopes up. Even though you really should read Experiment since it's absolutely amazing!

Yes - that's it! Thank you so very much.

Yay, you found it! That's so weird, I read that several months ago, you'd have thought that detail would have stuck with me.

Oh thank goodness! I've read this recently too and it's been bugging me all day what it could be!
