I'm looking for a fic I read some time ago and I lost the link.

ETA: Edited because "very violent" apparently doesn't apply to this fic, but I think it's plenty disturbing.



In the fic I'm looking for, Brian is picked up by a trick that wants to go to his place but instead takes him to an alley and rapes him violently with a wooden object. Throughout the fic, Brian and Justin deal with the effects of the attack and inevitably become closer.

I try to avoid violent fics when I can. But I did read this one, and even though it's already happened and we don't actually get a narrative of the violent attack, I still think it's pretty violent. Personally, when Brian describes what happened it almost as bad as having a narrative.

I do understand people have varying ideas on what's violent and what isn't. A lot of people have been desensitized by violence. I think this is very violent mostly because it happens to a character I really like and there wasn't any real depiction of rape on the show. Therefore, my precautionary measures were put into place because I'd rather people be warned versus get on my ass about not warning enough.

I agree with Xie, and the term "very violent" doesn't do the fic justice. I've read the story at least three times, and though it depicts a violent moment, it is not graphic in that depiction. True, some people are more sensitive than others, but I think you are mischaracterizing what to me is a fine piece of writing when you use that term. It's one of my favorite B/J stories and is very well written, very powerful. It is not, imo, "very violent."

Putting it behind a cut was good of you, but I can think of fics that make Jane's wonderful story look like a children's tale, by comparison.

I completely agree that it's fine peice of writing. I'm sorry I've apparently offended you and others. I edited the entry.

I have to remind myself I'm new around here and need to tread lightly.

Just so you know, I was not offended, just concerned. I didn't want someone who's never read Jane's work to be frightened away. I can think of authors whose work I wouldwarn people away from because of the violence, but Jane isn't one of them. And that particular fic is so good!

I appreciate your response! :)
