    Summary

    tl;dr: only happy endings here, despite the scary tagging. read on for more.

    So here’s the thing: this is an entirely frivolous enterprise on my part. It’s basically just a bunch of emotions put in a blender and poured into a story-shaped Jell-O mold, then refrigerated, turned upside down, and served up to you all on the metaphorical melamine plate that is AO3 (that’s a fifties cooking joke, by the way. I can’t stand aspic as a food, but it makes a decently palatable literary device). This may end up being a novel; it may end up being a vignette-based series; it may end up being an CBS All Access-exclusive miniseries - highly unlikely, but so is light being simultaneously a wave and a particle, so who knows?

    This story is set primarily in the afterlife, which means that the characters have to die in order to go there, hence the death tag, but - spoiler alert - I’m not going to kill anyone in an excessively tragic soap opera accident, and they’ll be happy and unharmed up there afterwards. It’s set in the same universe as the rest of my work (if you’ve read my notes on the last series, this is the “out there” project I was referring to, in case you couldn’t tell).

    Summary

    This piece began as a standalone set in post-513 land where Brian and Justin are married and still own the loft and the house in WV. It was written during the time I was writing Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Eventually, it became the introduction to a series of multiple stories that I am starting to post here July 2020. That series is called: Disposition/Induction/Maintenance/Negotiations series. Disposition and Induction were standard stories. Beginning with Maintenance, the series became a writing experiment that continues today with Negotiations.

    Disposition/Induction/Maintenance are all complete
    Negotiations is active today.
