Oh, I loved The Silver Branch! And I even posted about it over at sutcliff_talk asking why people don't seem to like it as much as the others!

I am planning on requesting this canon for the fest, just so you know! I am totally on board with either Justin/Flavius or Justin+Flavius; I just like them as a team. (And I adore exactly the same secondary characters as you!)

I'm so delighted to see someone else expressing love for this one!
