This was my entry in the Dare challenge, organized by my lovely illegal same sex polygamous internet wife _alicesprings. I forgot to post it here.

My beloved beta, gmta_nz, was out of town when this was ready, but she kindly beta'd it for me when she returned. So this version is slightly revised from the original, which is here.

vlredreign and I swapped Dare fic proofreading ... at like, midnight the night the stories were due. Thanks, girlfriend! The pretty banner is, as always, by my banner goddess, roc_abs.

This story is set between the end of Season 3 and the start of Season 4. It has a theme, although not much plot. It is told entirely from Brian's point of view.

Report from Celebrity Duets:

Lucy Lawless couldn't have been good enough to bleach Hal Sparks doing "We're Not Gonna Take it Anymore" with Dee Snyder out of my brain. It caused me actual physical pain. I want to die. Soon.

I'd rather see him and Dr. David doing it. That's how bad it was.

I hated Lucy's dress and glittery eyeshadow, but she still owns me heart and soul and sang a pretty song.

Jai Rodriquez looked like a debauched paperboy, but his duet with Patti LaBelle on "Lady Marmalade" sizzled, as long as you didn't watch them. And it was like totally gay. I love that.

We'll see tomorrow what America thinks. Not that I really care.
