    Summary


    Fandom:  Velvet Goldmine
    Pairing:  Curt/Brian
    Rating:  NC-17
    Summary:  What if there was another reason Curt left Brian?
    Archive:  If I sent it to you, please feel free.
    Series/Sequel:  No
    Disclaimer:  Miramax and Todd Haynes own them, not me. This work is not for profit.
    Warnings:  m/m, AU, angst, bad language, violence, non-con, hurt/comfort, song lyrics, spoilers for the movie.
    Notes:   This is very, very different from what I usually write. It's very *dark*.  But since there is both hope and a happy ending, perhaps it's *not* so different from what I write after all.
    This is a different AU from RH and FAN. This story starts with the recording studio scene and ends with the rooftop scene. Because it more or less follows the canon storyline, albeit with markedly different explanations for what happened, there are spoilers for VG.
    Special thanks to Sinewa, who did double-duty as both muse and beta. Thanks for the inspiration as well as the hand-holding when I got stuck. Any mistakes that remain are, of course, my own.
    Oh, and about those pesky song lyrics. They're not sung by anyone for those easily squicked by such things. Under the circumstances, they just seemed totally appropriate.
