What's so freaky and painful about this is that no matter how much Justin loves Brian, Daph and Lindsay now have something that he will never have, never can; they can recreate Brian, the act of sex, procreate, and it's so painful that it can be accidental, spur of the moment, a drug related mishap.

*nod* That's got to be the biggest thing that he can barely admit to himself. Lindsay and Daphne have a connection, a tangible connection, to Brian that he can't and will never, ever have. And it was an accident, and somehow, that makes it even worse.

Poor Justin, and poor Brian, Lindsay, Daphne, Gus... Mel who doesn't even know, but boy would she be pissed, and Michael! Oh, god, this would F*ck. Michael. Up.

God, I wish I could write that, the day Brian finally tells Michael. Mel would be "all Brian's fault", Debbie would be pissed, but she's all about being a proxy grandmother and would get over it, but Michael...man. He would *so* not take it very well. So very not.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments!
