Romantic gestures and courting of Brian by Justin?

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

A lot is made out of Brian's unwillingness to court Justin and show his love through romantic gestures like buying him flowers, etc.

Whether it is because Brian is older, wealthier, more experienced, the top, or perceived as the man - defaulting Justin to be the "little woman", it is expected that Brian should be the one to do such things.

Are there any fics where Justin is the one to make the romantic gestures, court Brian, buy flowers. We know that Justin professes his love, but shouldn't the gestures be a two way street? Are their fics where this is explored?

I'm guessing this might be the case in some of the fics where their ages or roles are reversed -- and I don't mind reading those. But I'm really looking for fics more in line with canon in terms of age difference and who the characters are - obviously it's going to be a little AU or OOC (particularly if Brian responds to such wooing).

ETA: because apparently I can't spell in the middle of the night

ETA 2: FOUND, at least one example. I found exactly what I was looking for in chapter 13 of Choices by england13 along with a new writer who I was not aware of and a gem of a fic.

I don't know if there is a sequel - but I certainly could see there being one, or an epilogue. There are the secondary story lines to wrap up and some general things that might be interesting.

However, writing sequels isn't always that easy - I know from first hand experience.

I'm pretty sure it's still a WIP. You're right that there are some loose ends to wrap up.

Did it scratch the Justin and the romantic gestures itch?

It more than scratched it....This site drives me crazy in a way you can only truly love something. I have have been part of this fandom for years and all these stories keep popping up that I love to read and of course I can't go to bed till I get to the end. Stories that are over 20 chapters can mess up my whole work week, but it takes me back to when this fandom first started and I was introduced to this new world.

Now that I have rambled, here's hoping I don't forget to check back for the sequel.
