Uh, greetings. Apparently I am somewhat of an asshat, and I've gotten it in my head (heart?) that 510 AU's where Justin dies are the coolest thing since sliced bread. I deeply desire wishing-for-what-could-have-been!Brian.

Help a sister fellow out? :D

ETA: Links in comments to the death. Of course, now I've realized I'm one of those weepy people, so living in a hole is starting to sound nice.

...Are you serious? Seriously serious? (and not about B/J, ha, but this post...) I don't see what the problem is. I doubt anyone here is getting off on Justin dying. Death is a very big and very emotional part of life (duh) - it's cathartic and a welcome *emotional* release, at times, to experience it through characters that we love. And sometimes a good deathfic is just what I need - it nearly kills me to see the character go...but that's kind of the point.

If *she* weren't "serious" about Brian and Justin, I doubt Justin deathfics would hold any interest. You cry over someone you care about.

And sometimes you need a good cry.

PS - bookgirl, I think you've handled this thread amazingly. Sorry, my pockets are empty in the way of deathfics, but if I ever find any worth phoning home about, I'll let you know.

(Under the assumption that I'm bookgirl :D)

I handled it amazingly? If I was half as eloquent as you, perhaps I wouldn't have come off as such huge of an ass.

Seriously (seriously), thank you for the support. And, uh, everything you said, in defense to my post. ;)

Erm, yes, you would be bookgirl. Apparently my page scrolling ability leaves something to be desired. :P

I don't think you came off as an ass - at least not to people who didn't have their heads stuck up their own to begin with. You gave much more respectful answers to comments than I would have, that's for sure. Death might not be everyone's cuppa, but such is life. I mean, I don't like feet. That doesn't make me a good or bad person. It makes me a person who doesn't like feet.
