This is a total shot in the dark, but lately I've been thinking about a fic I read years and years ago and wondering if it's still out there. In it, Brian gets cast in a movie about a gay runner in the 1970's because the character is a lot like him: out, proud, hot, cocky, ambitious and talented. I believe the movie may have been based on a true story or a book, possibly The Front Runner. It all gets started because the director meets Brian through Justin while he's working on Rage; it's canon before that if I remember right. I believe it takes some convincing for Brian to take the part, but he ends up getting really into it, losing himself and generally being miserable. I remember one scene in which Justin is watching them film a part where Brian is running in a race and one of the homophobic other runners trips him and makes him fall. I think it may have been the climax of the film; they do it repeatedly and Brian is getting really beat up by falling over and over again. Does this ring any bells for anyone? Like I said, it's been years, but I figured I'd give it a try. Thanks!

It's called "For Love of Justin." I know it has nothing to do with a movie, but if you don't know about it, you might like it.
Later!
