(  Chapter 8 (final chapter), part 2Collapse )

A/N: This story is a sequel and will not make a whole lot of sense if you haven’t read A Storm’s Gonna Come first. That's it, people. The last chapter. I have two more oneshots from the same verse that I'll be posting soon, but The Next Best Thing is done. Brian's and Justin's time in New York comes to an end. Thank you to my loyal readers who enjoy reading a story once in a while that is completely angst-free and who trust me to keep the characters in... well, character. :)


Rating: NC-17 (for entire story)
Warnings: Fluff. No drama. All is well and the boys enjoy the happiness they deserve.

A/N: LJ made me split my chapter again. :(

A/N: This story is a sequel and will not make a whole lot of sense if you haven’t read A Storm’s Gonna Come first. There’s a lot of time to cover in 8 chapters, so we jump through time a bit, please be aware.


Rating: NC-17 (for entire story)
Warnings: Though this is usually a fluffy, drama-free zone, we have a tiny bit of angst in this chapter. By the end of it however, things are alright once again.

A/N2: I don't understand LJ. It says my post is too long, even though this chapter is 1000 words shorter than the last - and I had no trouble posting that one in one piece.

Feels unreal to be posting a story from the very first universe I created. Here’s some things you need to know before reading:
A/N: This is a sequel series set in the universe of my first series A Storm’s Gonna Come. It starts where ASGC ended, so you’d be well advised to read that one first if you haven’t yet. The Next Best Thing is a finished, feel good story. It’s told in a vignette-y kind of way, covering almost two years in 8 chapters, so prepare for leaps in time. Basically, it’s just a glance into Brian’s and Justin’s lives during their New York adventure.

Thank you and dedication: A thank you to Pet who managed to read and beta through roughly 200(?) pages in record time and who regularly lets me rant to her whenever I need to and always takes the time to respond even though she wants me to work on a different story entirely. This is for my reader jizabel91 whose love for this universe has kept mine alive.
