Simon's Other Foot series

[bendabrenda.livejournal.com]

I just finished re-reading Simon's Other Foot series and I remember someone wrote another Foot series where one of Simon's Chapters left off and Justin left New York and the townhouse, never to be seen again and Brian tries to find him. When Brian finds him , he's in a wheelchair and Steve ends up being a jerk and the men break up. I looked in all the usual tags , hurt, down a well, Brian and other, Justin runs away, but no Justin in a wheelchair. Does anyone remember this one?

Just found! Thank you Thank You! Its Falling Down The Primrose Path.

Would it be Mouse's "One Foot In Front Of The Other" on Midnight Whispers?

I'm pretty sure that's not it. The story that's being asked for I know I read. Just can't remember the author. I probably have it saved on my computer, too. :(

Could it be Falling Down the Primrose Path (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/MagF/Path.htm) by Margaret?:)

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

That's it.

Yep That's it Falling Down the Primrose Path. Thank You shooting star for the quick response, off to read!

tangent, but is this Simon's Other Foot series safe for ppl with a low tolerance for brian/other but who can put up with it if brian/justin is still the otp?

eta: lol wait, nope, i can already see it isn't.

That would be a super big NO.

Thanks for the warning!

yeah, i just skimmed through a few chapters and it was enough to get the subtle STEVE'S BRIAN'S ONE TRUE SOUL MATE AND LOVE OF HIS LIFE message. it seemed like a fic more about rubbing it in justin's face & making him miserable than anything else. definitely not my cup of tea.

Yeah it takes a long time for them to get to a good place together in this series. Very well written but I was very sad thru most of it.

to be honest, based on what i could piece together by skimming, i didn't even want brian and justin to get to a good place. i despised the fic's version of brian and wanted justin to catch a break, move on and never, ever run into him and his "soul mate & love of his life" again. the author did a marvelous job making a point that brian was was really not that into justin and that he was at his happiest with the OMC. he made it impossible for the "good place" for brian and justin to be even remotely satisfying (to me at least, but as i said, i skimmed).

the overall impression i got was that the author didn't much care for justin and kept him around just to make him miserable and assert how much of a distant second choice he was. not really a b/j fic, imo.

I just can't read stories like that. Fanfic-Brian & Justin are my Emotional Comfort Food.

Comfort food should *never* make you unhappy! ;-)

I'm just skimming through myself and I just have to say that I agree with both you and Inboots. Stories that do otherwise should come with severe warnings.
