Cowrie Shell Bracelet

Okay, I 've just left Ebay and the ever present listings of replicates of Brian's cowrie shell bracelet.

What I'm curious about is there any fic out there that addresses the absence of the bracelet after Justin returns it Brian?

Why did he stop wearing it and when?

Found! Link in comments to fic, thank you!

ETA: I found this quote from Patrick Antosh and thought it was interesting, hmmmm.

I've been in the fandom a long, long time and read every
interview.

If you check Patrick Antosh's site he talks about the bracelet
and that it was Gale's and also how it became something all
the extras and fans of the show started wearing. Gale got
tired of wearing it in every scene after two years, which
is natural.

The whole plotline with the nephew accusing him of molesting
him is from the British version of QAF -- but they added
the detail about the bracelet, probably to give the whole
thing a little closure, since it had become an iconic
prop.

Okay, that's new. I've still not seen the UK version, after 4 years, and I didn't realize that, past S1, that they were using plotlines from that version still. I'm curious, are there any others that show up after S1?
