So I started this thinking "I'll write a little something about AJ being fucked up over potentially losing Kevin while he's in rehab". 10,000 words later I realized there was nothing little about this idea lmao (And that would be why I decided to start posting it as a WIP along with the other short WIP I've got going; this one's turning out longer than I thought so I can alternate updates between the two.)

This does take place in a larger universe of mine, but you can read this without having read the other fic I'm working on in this verse, though obviously there are connections. Still, nothing I've posted for this verse as yet needs to be read in chronological order- all you need to know is that the boys are in an established poly relationship and have been for quite some time.

At this point in time, there's also some occasional mild non-lifestyle BDSM elements to Kevin and AJ's relationship, but you don't really need to know much about that yet; however, it'll give you a little deeper understanding of where AJ's head's at ahead of time if you already know it's there.

Also, this AU stays pretty close to RL 'canon' dates and events and such, though obviously due to circumstances being different in this fic, some things are altered more than others. ...some are also possibly altered because while I try my best to do good BSB history research, I'm not perfect, lmao (Also, given that this one will probably take place entirely while he's in rehab with maybe a single chapter after he gets out, the sex that I warned for will take place in flashbacks and I'm not yet sure how graphic they'll all be, so I wanted to err on the side of caution with my warning first. If I need to alter it and tone it down, I will as soon as I'm sure.)
