TO: maybe742
FROM: xheartrockx
TITLE: 500 Miles (1/2)
GIFT REQUEST: Fic - Post-513 - NC-17 is appreciated but not necessary. Brian and Justin are on a road trip. Why they are on the road, what they're doing and who else is involved or not, that's all up to you.
NOTE: First off, huge thanks go out to mander3_swish, not only for hosting these festivities but also for kicking me and my muse in the butt about this fic. It wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her. Unfortunately, it’s not here entirely yet and this is just part one of two. I hope to get the rest into a presentable form by the end of next week and post a link in the comments here. Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy what I came up with.
SUMMARY: Brian struggles with the long-distance relationship. So he does what he always does – he pretends not to care and throws himself into his work. At the launch party for Kinnetik NYC, he runs into Justin again. Both are invited to spend Christmas in Toronto. When a blizzard hits, they are forced to share a car. Could this be the perfect opportunity to deal with their troubles?
