*Ahem* I was wondering if anyone could recommend any fics where Justin calls Brian 'Daddy'. I looked through the memories, so besides 'Spare the Rod', 'Daddy's Little Boy' and the Fantsay series by OG Walton. Thanks in advance

I understand Brian's mindset post-bashing, and why he made the 'sonnyboy' and 'two sons' comments. I agree he was protective towards Justin especially in early Season 2, and that he sometimes took a mentorish role, mostly in the early seasons

Emphasising that dynamic even more is a major squick of mine in B/J fic though, be it sexual or non-sexual in context, mostly because it comes with an infantilized Justin.

To be honest, Justin calling Brian 'daddy' non-sexually is even weirder to me. Justin would never do it seriously. In fact, I think if he'd heard Brian's comments in Season 2, he would've been pretty pissed off. He didn't want Brian to think of him as a son or someone to be taken care of, he wanted the exact opposite. He wanted Brian to think of him as a partner and an equal. And ultimately, what Brian wanted and needed for himself was a partner and an equal.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with me having recs (which shockingly, I don't!) so I should probably shut up now. And sorry, I really don't care what anyone reads, but you seemed to imply that daddy!fic is a valid extension of canon and I really, really, strongly don't believe that (as you may have noticed!)
