A Crusade for the Heart by Julia Rated: NC-18 [Reviews - 6]
Summary:

It is the 12th Century. Sir Brian, Earl of Huntingdon, returns from the Crusades to aid the young Lord Justin and protect him from the evil Sheriff. In return, can Justin heal the wounds Brian carries with him after his experiences in battle?

~

Note: This story turned out a little more difficult to do than I thought it was going to be! Having set it in the 12th century, I found it wasn't possible to use modern language. Therefore, it's not going to be as quite as explicit as many of as would like, but perhaps more a tale of romance and chivalry. I hope you enjoy it all the same.  Feedback welcome.

Summary:

This is a slightly AU fiction that has some elements of canon, but as Brian and Justin have never met, things are different. There are elements of OOC for all characters at times as I had to decide what I thought the characters responses to situations would be. Brian is 34 and lives in Pittsburgh and Justin is 21 and lives in NY. They meet after Lindsay and Melanie go to NY and see Justin's art and suggest that Brian checks it out next time he is in NY. This story is not kind to Ethan, sorry. I wrote this story for the queeraschristmas LJ Challenge, thanks Rory!
Disclosure; I don't own any of these characters; I just like to play with them.
