I really, really want fics that focus (or address!) the age difference between Brian and Justin. I was watching 2:02 and as Brian called out to Justin when he was having his flashback of terror I had a srs arrgblack *shiver* moment. Brian sounded so old and Justin just stood there like this petrified little boy. I was totally squicked.

It tickled my fancy, though, and now I ttly want fics where the age gap is a prominent issue. Humorous, serious, angsty, blahblah-- as long as they end up together.

Plz help?

eta: two links in comments! not exactly what i was looking for, but fantastic fics regardless (:

Well, there's always The Beginning of the End by Josselin. In it, they meet when Justin is 13 and Brian is 25, and they hook up when Justin is 15, I think. It's an astoundingly good fic, and yeah, a lot of it is about the age difference.

You can find it here as "Squicky" parts 1-54(!): http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=josselin&keyword=my+qaf+fic&filter=all

Does that help?

Hey, Cab, don't you think that the ones wigging out about the age difference were mainly Jen & Craig? Brian mentions it once in 102 outside the loft, and then again in 122 regarding the prom. But that's the only times I remember age specifically coming up regarding them.

Brian flipping out about turning 30 doesn't count, though. lol

Hmm, good point. It's not often mentioned explicitly. But it was at the heart of a lot of the B/J tension in season 2--Brian wanting Justin to make friends his own age, etc. You could make the argument that a lot of their underlying problems are about the age difference-Justin feeling like they don't want the same things, Brian being afraid Justin will leave him when he gets old and wrinkly (translate as 35).
