It has a title now! "Things Change"
Beta'ed by yami_tai

Dom didn't really understand how much Brian had changed until he saw him in a bar fight, a real one, in this seedy little hole down the coast. Brian's fighting style wasn't pretty, but it was efficient. Smack and grab and then a kick in the knee and the men kept piling up at his feet, groaning and crawling away, throwing scared, furtive glances their way. They managed to escape just before the cops arrived, sirens blaring and guns drawn.

Once they were safe, the little town just a blur in the rear-view mirror, Dom looked at Brian sideways, his eyes narrowed in speculation.

"What?" Brian rasped when he sensed Dom's scrutiny, opening one eye and turning his head slightly where it rested on the back of his seat.

"Didn't know you could fight," Dom said, turning back to the road.

Brian shrugged and sliding lower in his seat, he crossed his arms over his chest making himself comfortable. "They teach you a thing or two in the slammer. The Aryans were nothing for me, really, and I refused to be anybody's bitch. Had to learn fast."

Now Dom stared openly. "You were in jail? For real?" He sounded dubious.

"Told you. A lot happened while you were gone, Dom, and there are many things you don't know about me," Brian said, closing his eyes again.

After a while, Dom nodded. "Apparently."

Thank you *bows* I just love it when they are still... them, you know? Kicking butt and driving cars and just... \o/

OMG! Fantastic, I love your idea of Brian serving time, there's not enough fics like that. Definitely going on my fav list. Great work, going to read more of ur fics now :)

Thank you! *blushes* And I agree! There need to be more fics where Brian really was in jail. Unfortunately, I haven't written any more F&F fics yet. But Brian and Dom, there's just something about them... *starry eyed*

Loved it. So awesome. I could see this happening after the fourth movie. And I love the thought of Brian doing time and learning how to fight because he refused to be somebody's bitch.

Great fic. Can't wait for more :D.

Thank you! This idea came to me when I watched Brian kick that FBI agent's butt, the way he fought - dirty. When one looks back at the first movie, that Brian seemed too... innocent for such a fighting technique.

I love this. I don't think I will ever stop loving this pairing. No matter how many fandoms I am in, Dom and Brian will always have a spot.

This was a wonderful protrayal of the boys.

Thank you! I just love them, too! Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have such an amazing chemistry. Sometimes, two actors just click together! It's just too bad that there aren't more fics out there... :(

[kliqzangel.livejournal.com]

I agree... most of the pairings I am into are because of that reason. And there needs to be much more of these boys. (Even RPS fics even which I have never seen, That might put me over the edge. *drool*)

You know this just makes me more hungry for the next two movies, petal! I can't wait to see how Dom and Brian's relationship will grow :-)!

I'm sooooooooo curious about it, too! Dom and Brian on the run together... The fact that the writer is the same - just like the director - gives me hope for more slashiness!
