I love this story. It is different, edgy and to a degree more true to canon than canon.
The thing about QAF -- to me -- is that it is fast-paced at all times. If the emotion you are feeling at any given moment is too difficult, too funny, too snarky, too whatever, we can always trust that the show will move us to another feeling almost immediately. That is why the show is great! That is why it is our soap opera.
This story is stark, raw, honest and singular of purpose. It doesn't foreshadow the next snark, the next laugh, etc. It lays open Brian and his love. It is pain. In some ways, I think that would be much harder to write, to stay true to, than something where you can write yourself out of a corner with a snark, or a laugh, or some angst,
It is also brutal on those of us who are romantics, ya know :)
