AU. Brian takes his children out to dinner and meets someone who changes his life forever. Turns out the person needs someone just like Brian too. 

These are the works from Intersect Interactive, a Tumblr that will have one-shots, drabbles, deleted scenes, and answers to questions and requests pertaining to the Intersect Universe. Stories written will not give spoilers on future chapters or sequels to Intersect or its sequels. See story notes for more details.

The saga of Brian and Justin Taylor Kinney continues.  Their children are grown and life is good.  Brinn hopes to marry Zach soon but a few issues seem to be keeping them from setting a date.  While Brinn and Zach try to work through it, Dan and Marcus are fighting to keep their daughter. After a court case will they get to keep the little girl they had raised for five years or will she be taken away?

This family will do anything for each other, and I do mean anything.

***Disclaimer:  Chapter 13 has a rape scene.  There are no graphic details but is brought up in the plot throughout the remainder of the story.  I don't want anyone to be surprised if they are sensitive to this.***

Happy Valentine's to one and all of our beloved QAF family.  I was listening to some of my favorite old rock & roll songs a few weeks ago and when the Sam Cooke song, 'Cupid' came on, this story was suddenly born in my head.  I hope you will enjoy this little trip into a fantasy world as Cupid tells the assembled gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus all about his greatest challenge while doing his job.  I owe a great deal of gratitude to my darling granddaughter, Marika, for the lovely banner and my talented beta, Judy, for her terrific skills.  Hope you all have nothing but love on Valentine's Day and all year round.

It’s funny how life works sometimes -- in cycles, repeating the same themes in different ways with different situations. Leaving it up to us to recognize a familiar situation and call on our past experience to get through it. But sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Justin decides to make a huge transition in his career, but things are not always what they seem.

Life in the Taylor- Kinney family continues.  Brinn is going away to school while Brian accompanies Justin on his European tour.  The whole extended family finds there way back to Brian and Justin as the family grows and expands.

Brian told Justin to get some friends his age – what if the kiss Michael saw was misconstrued? What if miscommunication was only the start of it all? Just how far does the butterfly effect go? 

Brian, Justin, and their extended family continues to go through life.  There are ups and downs but there is nothing they can't do when they do it together.

Warning: Chapter 20 does have the death of a child in it but it is not a core character and the rest of the story does not contain anything like that.

I was in Atlanta when I first started noticing the strange, intermittent numbness and tingling in the fingers of my right hand. I was finishing up some paperwork, and I was having a hard time holding onto the pen, though at the time I thought it was just because I couldn't feel my fingers in the way that I was used to. I knew I'd been pushing myself too hard, spending too much time working on my laptop and not enough time doing yoga, so I thought it was probably just stress. I needed a break, although I wasn't sure when I was going to get one, because I was only scheduled to have two days at home before I had to leave again to travel to Dallas.

Rob has a health scare that leads him to reevaluate his life. Brian helps support him along the way.

This story fits into the "Changed" verse.

“Who the fuck is calling me now?” Brian muttered as he rubbed his eyes and tried to focus on the clock. It was 2:16 a.m., and this call had better not be a client with some so-called emergency, because Brian had people who were supposed to deal with that, whom he’d hired in an effort to keep late night phone calls from happening. He was more than a little perturbed at having been woken up and was ready to give the person on the other end a piece of his mind, until he saw the caller’s name on the display. It was Rob, and that realization sent Brian’s heart into his throat. Rob was an “early to bed, early to rise” sort of guy, and would definitely not be calling at 2 a.m. unless something was seriously wrong.

Here I go with my first multi-chaptered story in over 3 years.  I really hope you will enjoy it.  Some time ago someone suggested the idea of turning around the series plot involving the Prom bashing 180 degrees, and then seeing what might have happened if it was Brian who was Hobbs' victim rather than Justin.  I found the idea intriguing, so I'm going with it.  Of course there will be drama and angst, but just remember how my stories end up and take heart.  So without delay, here is the beginning of a whole new light on the love story of Brian and Justin.  

But first, of course, I must give my undying appreciation to my dear Judy for her beta help.  And a special appreciation to the very talented and thoughtful Kim (Predec2) for the evocative banner for my story.  I love you girls dearly.

Brian and Justin are enjoying life.   They are splitting their time between Britin and their vineyard in California.  But trouble starts when Kinnetic's NYC office needs Brian's attention just as the family is ready to go back to the West Coast.  When Brian misses Gus' 20th Birthday party Justin is furious.  It takes a death in the family for Justin to realize we all make mistakes.

Brian and Justin's family continues to grow.  The children are growing fast. Brian's nephews and partners add to the love but marriage comes with a lot of hard work and both Brian and Justin make mistakes but Love Conquers All.

Justin and Brian have settled in with their beautiful daughter and son.  Their children mean everything to them and when Brinn disappears everyone is petrified.

With four college students living with them, too, there is never a dull moment.

A simple message can totally change someone's life.  What will happen will Justin receives one? 

After talking about it for year Brian and Justin finally are going on their dream vacation.  They were spending three weeks in Milan and Ibiza.  Come along and join then on the streets of Milan and the beaches in Ibiza as they make memories for a lifetime. 

Justin and Brian are coming up on the 10th anniversary of the day they met.  Justin plans an art show at Lindsey's gallery. Brian runs into a female lover from 20 years earlier. Brian remembers this love as he plans a surprise for their anniversary.

Justin and Brian had gone their own way but neither were happy.  They belonged together and Brian would go anywhere Justin wanted to be.

Brian and Justin have been together for seventeen years, well, more or less: seventeen years have passed since the night of their meeting, the one in which Gus, the son of Brian and his friend Lindsey, was born and since then they have been on and off regularly.

Gus, however, is willing to do anything for his relationship to be as smooth as silk, but he has just moved to Pitsburgh and the only thing he is sure of is that life is a mess and this, in essence, is the only thing on which father and son agree.

Brian and Justin attend a high school/boarding school for young criminals. This generally means everyone there did something to piss off their parents and got their butts thrown into this school. 17-year-old Brian’s a new student, 16-year-old Justin’s been attending for a while now. How will they ever survive?

THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE

This fic is set about 12 years after the end of S5 and is part of the Gus/Dani Homecoming!future. Short version - Justin came back to Pittsburgh and he and Brian have been together through all that time, living in a house on the river that they bought after selling Britin. This one follows directly on from Leaving Home.

Written for the qaf_giftxhchnge 2018 on LJ.

The request was from sfscarlet and was for:
Fic angst, AU, canon-compliant, hurt/comfort, humor Brian/ Justin- / Gus- Gus is an adult- time could be holiday or family reunion or just visiting B/J- writer's choice. Gus reminiscing about growing up with B/J- Funny stories, harrowing tales, first times, tales about trips they made- anything the writer chooses. Would love at least 2-3 stories ( tales) that Gus shares. B/J could disagree with his memories and they could tell their version- if writer chooses. ( not necessary- just choice of writer)

This is the result. It's set in 2029. I think of this as being loosely Homecoming future, but all that anyone needs to know is that Brian and Justin have been living together in Pittsburgh in a riverside house since Justin's return from New York. Justin and Daphne have a daughter – Dani. Brian, Justin, and Daphne are co-parents, an arrangement which works well for them all. Dani is 16, Gus is 29.


WARNING:A little snarky about Mikey and the Munchers.

The story is complete and will be updated weekly.

Thank you Kim... Predec 2...for creating this lovely banner for me.

A QAF fanfic reader made a request for stories that involved the immediate aftermath of that tragic bashing of our beloved Justin and how Brian responded to it.  I believe it inspired a lot of our writers, including myself.  I do hope you will find this story interesting, although I can't say it will be a lot of fun, considering the subject matter.  Please keep in mind how things did turn out for the couple later on as you reach the end of this story, and don't be too sad. 

I want to thank Gloria Hernon for her brilliant suggestion.  I also wish to thank my beloved Judy for her beta skills and my beloved granddaughter, Marika, for her amazing banner.

Brian Kinney’s life wasn’t supposed to end so soon, but on that fateful night, everything changed in a split second.

The devastating illness and untimely passing of the family matriarch effects the gang in a profound way.

Special thanks to Kim (predec2) for the beautiful banner.

Their boss is a hopeless romantic and thinks Brian and Justin are very much in love. But Justin can’t stand Brian and Brian is a very cold person who doesn’t care about other people’s feelings.

This story is now finished!

*FEATURED STORY FOR APRIL 2018*

It takes a very special couple to embarrass a teenage boy...

My entry for "The Great Outdoors" Summer Fan Fiction Challenge 2013.

I still can't believe this is my life. Two days ago I was the stud of Liberty Avenue and a successful adman, today... today I am a father. I still recall the words he whispered in my ear that night, as we all sat in Lindsay's hospital room: "You deserve to be loved Brian. Don't let anyone make you think you can't, don't let them win. Show them they are wrong"

I've dedicated all my life to show Saint Joan, Jack and every homophobe out there that underestimating me was a mistake. I became a successful businessman, being the head of the advertising department in Ryder's Advertising. I had the money, the looks, the gang and everyone wanted me... but I was still hallow.

I've proved them all wrong in everything, but one thing. I ended up believing their words, that I was unwanted, that no one will ever love me, that I was not desired, that I should have been aborted.

However, all that changed two days ago. When, I met a fallen angel under a streetlight, no matter how lesbian I sounded, to me that was true. Looking so innocent and pure, he was just asking for me to pick him up. I don't normally go for blonds, but I wanted to be in that world- that world of light- at least for a night.

A very warm-hearted thank you to Predec2, who made this amazing banner !!!

Thank you so much !!!

Happily living their lives together with both success, fame and with children around them, Brian and Justin Kinney were in their own words 'living the life of great homosexuals', when a car accident changes their lives.

Now, they are back to the beginning where Brian, the ultimate asshole ad executive, and Justin, the blonde twink stalker. did not meet each other yet. This is the story of what these partners will do to make sure that they really have 'no regrets' in their lives and to avoid the mistakes they made in the way. 

Inspired by 'One More Time' by The WinsomeWasp

Almost a decade ago Brian and Justin got married so that Justin would get his green card and could stay in the USA. They haven’t seen each other after they got married and now Justin has found someone he wants to marry for love. There’s only one thing in the way. He’s married to Brian. Now his job is to get Brian sign the divorce papers, which might turn out to be harder than he thought.

The third and last part of my series "Please don't take my Sunshine away"

Will Brian and Justin's relationship survive going through cancer? What will Justin do when he discovers a few secrets Brian kept from him? Will he forgive him? Or will it be the end of our favorite couple?

Welcome to Camp Peatree where there's sun, fun, rivalries and memories. Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor were the ultimate enemies when they were campers. 10 years later, the pair must work together as counsellors at this ultra-American summer camp.

This is part 2 of the Heels Over Head series.

But a new employee will change his life, more than he could expect...Bringing Brian to wonder...Who does he want to be?  

STORY NOW COMPLETE. Beta readed from chapter 20. Please apologize the grammatical mistakes before this chapter :-)

When Brian Kinney was fired from Ryder’s advertising agency after being accused of sexual harassment, he never would have imagined becoming an escort. However, learning that his son was seriously sick wasn’t part of his plans, either.

One year later, he meets Justin Taylor, an artist who was attacked at his prom and suffered serious injuries. What happens when their worlds collide?

* STORY NOW COMPLETE *

Justin comes back from Vermont and finds Brian fucking a trick on 'their' bed, a punishment from the older man- who was hurt when he came to an empty loft, when he wanted to celebrate his partnership with the one he cared the most.

But Justin didn't see that, hasn't been able to read Brian since the bashing. He only sees a man that doesn't care enough about him and decides to leave him.

Will Brian be able to get his head out of his ass to win Justin back? Or will it be too late?

No fiddler, in this story Justin never cheated.

What happens when Justin's need for food, Brian's need for something (but he doesn't know what) and Michael's need for attention clash...

Post 5-13. Justin decides what to do with his life after his art show. He's miserable in New York without Brian...I know it's been done before, but I have a million ideas, and need to get some of them out!

When you’re new at the gay community and know nothing about it. Especially that the person who you’re talking to is Justin Taylor and his boyfriend is Brian Kinney.

Sequel to HIDDEN? Brian and Justin just had a new baby and are fighting over the sex. Boy or Girl? Twins, Triples, Single? And someone from the past wants to make amends with Justin.

This time last year I stumbled onto Midnight Whispers and this site became my new addiction. At first I just lurked, then I found the courage to review, and back in July I posted a story of my own. So what better way to celebrate the end of 2016 than submitting a new fic?  Happy 2017!

According to public opinion, Brian and Justin became acquainted beneath a lamp post in front of Babylon. But the truth is, and as quiet as it's kept, they were in and out of each other's lives on numerous occasions long before that fateful night. Enjoy!

Shout out to Kim (Predec2) for the absolutely amazing banner she created for me.  Thanks, Kim...you're the best!

Sequel to Whispers are as Loud as a Shout...Lindsay and Michael combine forces...big mistake...huge!

A sequel to Life Altering. We pick up with the Taylor-Kinney family two years later, they have settled into parenthood and partnership, what new twists could be thrown their way?

A new friend (thanks, Giotto!) pointed out that there are still people interested in Queer as Folk. I have 600 pages of this story typed up, the rest is still a manuscript - as in, handwritten. Actual pen, actual paper. The story itself is finished, it just needs typing and proof-reading. I think I'll have about 1,000 pages when I'm done.

I recently lost a lot of stuff due to a computer crash; so I decided to finally put this here, where it will hopefully be safe for a while. (I once did have the whole thing typed up. I'll do it one more time, but I really don't want to do that again after that!)

So. This story is my take on what happens when Justin returns from New York. Some places in Pittsburgh are my invention, others actually do exist, or rather, they existed at the time I wrote this. I used a lot of the characters we saw in the series, and I created a few more.

I'm not giving any warnings - if you watched QaF, you know what to expect. (I don't write explicit f/f, or f/m - the explicit m/m scenes all have Brian in them.) Hope you enjoy!

Banner by Janet - so beautiful, thank you!

Sometimes Hunter felt like he was dead, sent to some version of Hell for stealing, for tricking, for ditching school, or for just being born. But his heart beating in his chest, sometimes at a slow and steady beat, sometimes at a rapid and panicked pace...It was that alone that made him realize he wasn't in Hell after all. This city, as shitty as it was to him, was his reality.

This story includes somewhat shy teenage Justin who is definitely not experienced and teenage Brian who just likes Justin way too much and enjoys being all fluffy with him. I don’t think this story has an actual plot other than the boys are not together in the beginning and things process from there in an interesting, not really cliché way. This story is full of more or less fluffy scenes after fluffy scenes. Plus this story has loads of cuddling mostly initiated by Brian. If that is not your thing, do not go further. And keep in mind that because this story basically has no plot do not expect any huge dramatic events or plot twists.

THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE

Reading order of this series: 
Seven Minutes

Seven Days

Yeah, this is crack. This is an explanation why everybody wants Brian Kinney and why Justin is the only one Brian keeps taking home. There might be some sort of mythology involved in this I think. 

Brian and Justin have never met. Justin has this guy who won’t leave him alone and then suddenly Brian’s there!

NOW WITH TWO SEQUELS!

This is an AU story.   I love Brian and Daphne together as friends.  In this AU tale Daphne will help Brian and Justin get together.   I think this is a story like no other.   It's like writing itself so sorry no other stories will be updated right now cause this has stolen my muse.

Brian and Justin live in a world where people getting imprinted on each other is very common. So what will happen when the boys get imprinted but are not attracted to each other and nature has its own fucked up way to push the boys together.

You think there's not enough Baby Purry in New York State of Mind? Here is the place where you can find more of his adventures. If you haven't read NYSoM, this might not make sense.

As you might have guessed it's my fractured fairy tale take on Aladdin QAF style. I'm keeping to the original version and not the Disney version although aspects may trickle through.

Sequel to "The Wedding Present."  Brian continues to explore his evolving relationship with his biological father and grandparents as Fin O'Connor prepares his run for governor with his own partner by his side.  *THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE*

What if Michael Novotny. wasn't Michael Novotny?    What if that picture that Debbie chose in the newspaper was mislabeled?   What if i soldier with breaks in his memory comes back to claim the family that he lost a long time ago?    This is what happens.

Let's step back into The Recovery Series and have a little fun with Pokemon Go.
