I have developed an unhealthy obsession with Brian and Justin. As a pair and as individuals. I love them both equal parts - and I love them when they're together, when they're apart, when they're making love or when they're arguing. 


My fic will always revolve around canon. And I try my best to keep the boys in character. Thanks for reading my little forays into QAF. I appreciate your support and encouragement! Comments go a long way to let me know I'm doing something right.

Summary: That which does not kill us..

Timeline: Post 513. All canon assumed. Spoilers for all seasons.

Warnings: Strong language. Explicit sexual content depending on the chapter.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my thoughts, and even then sometimes, I rent. All recognizable characters are the property of CowLip and Showtime. 

Author's Note: This is a work in progress. I am a slow writer - there's no getting around that - but I promise that it will be completed. Comments feed the muse. Just sayin'.

4/8/22  So. That author's note was written a long, long time ago. I wrote it with the best of intentions, I swear. But life happened, and for reasons I won't go into here, I couldn't bring myself to continue writing a story with this subject matter. But that little folder has lived on my desktop for all this time, and I have never forgotten where I left our boys. And so, one day a month or so ago, I opened it up and spent some time reminding myself just how much I love Brian and Justin and Queer As Folk. I still have reservations writing about cancer for 'entertainment'. I am no medical professional, nor have I personally experienced anything like what Brian is going to go through. But I've done more research for this than anything else I've ever done, and I've tried to treat it with the sensitivity and respect it deserves. Please forgive any inaccuracies.

I don't even know if anyone will give it a chance again, but I owe to those of you who trusted me and read it all those years ago (and to the boys) to keep my word and try to finish this beast. I hope you'll join me.

I....am kind of speechless! But in the best possible way. I really enjoy your writing style and I like how you've approached the characters post-series.

I admit I was hesitant to read this at first, seeing the length of time since the initial posting, but curiousity got the better of me and...well...I'm a sucker for angst and this is some heavy angst. I greatly look forward to more, and hope it comes sooner rather than later - but I also understand the slow process of writing! Thanks for the so far very excellent story!



Author's Response:

I am glad you took a chance. I do wish I could write faster, but I promise it won't be so long for the next part. Thank you so much for the kind words about the story. These boys do know how to break our hearts, don't they?

So wonderful. I don't know what else to say but that. So well written, and great characterization. I cannot wait to see what comes next - and I kind of hope you'll pick up where this chapter left off because...hot! 

:)

 



Author's Response:

You don't need to say anything else. I appreciate you taking the time to comment so much! Even at the worst of times, their chemistry together is magic :-)

Oh man. Not sure how I feel about Gus walking in on his dad and Justin like that. Talk about a rude awakening and soooooo awkward for them all. I am glad the 'secret' is finally out but - ouch, this is gonna hurt everyone.

I am glad to see Gus recognizing his feelings for Tristan. That's a nice surprise.

looking forward to the fallout...I think...! :)



Author's Response:

Hi, Michelle!  Michal and I thank you for reading and for taking the time to comment.  Yeah, as much as Gus must be aware that is father has a healthy sexual appetite, this has to be the worst possible way to find out just who his father is seeing.  Talk about a major blow!  And yes, this will be extremely awkward for ALL of them.  Now comes the cleanup - how is this going to be resolved?  Who's going to be the 3rd wheel here who is left out? Someone's bound to be hurt here.

So glad that you're enjoying the story!  If you hang in there a little longer, we promise to make things right (eventually!). Thanks again for the feedback; we really appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Michal and Kim

Oh my goodness, my heart is breaking for both of these men. What a gut-wrenching chapter. Brian - so stubborn and insistent that his own self-worth is null, and Justin can't seem to say anything that will convince the other man of his value. You know I always believed Brian to have a tragically low self-esteem in the arena of his relationships, his actions always seemed desperate, like he was constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop and for everyone in his life to eventually leave him, or believe the worst of him, thus he never fully puts himself out there...but with Justin...gosh - you have me hooked! I will anxiously and patiently wait for your next update. thanks!

I really cannot wait! Is the stuff in the clip you just posted a link to included in the $150 DVD purchase? I'm still a little confused as to what exactly I bought when I ordered. Thanks! If you'd rather I email you directly I will certainly do so!

This was really great! I truly enjoyed going on the scavenger hunt with Justin, and boy was quite steamy there at the end!! ;) 



Author's Response:

Hi, Michelle!  Thanks for reading and for the comments on my story; I really appreciate that.:)  If I may suggest another story, I have another one called "Arms Open Wide" where Brian sends him on a similar scavenger hunt that you may enjoy if you haven't already read it. 

Thank you again for taking the time to review; that means a lot to me.  And I will be waiting for the rest of your own story.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

 
Seven Days in April by Lemon Bar Rated: PARENTAL GUIDANCE -13 [Reviews - 17]
Summary:

flowerWritten for the 'Spring is in the Air' challenge.

 

A post S5 one-shot. Brian Kinney is not a 'flowers' type of guy. He doesn't give them, ever, and no one has ever had the audacity to give them to him. At least, until that morning in April when he walks into work to find a hideous little flower arrangement on his desk. Naturally, he makes it quite clear that Cynthia is to shoot anyone bearing flowers on sight should they endeavor to accost him again...

You're most welcome! Thanks so much for leaving feedback!

 
Summary:

 

 

When they released the video with the deleted scene between Nasir and Castus that occurred  when he tried to comfort Nasir over the loss of Agron, I was inspired to write this story. It is a 3 part gap filler of that period of time right after Agron leaves, up until he returns. I hope you will enjoy my interpretation of Agron and Nasir's feelings during this period.

This is posted without beta temporarily while my beta is completing work on a professional novel. I promise to make necessary corrections as soon as I hear from her. Thank you for your patience with any mistakes I may make.

Just got the beta'd copy back so the corrections are made. Many thanks to my dear friend, Judy, for all her help.

I haven't read this as I haven't seen season 3 of Spartacus yet (I know, blasphemous!!!) but I wanted to tell you that I cannot wait to read your fics once I watch the season! It might be awhile as I'm waiting for the DVD release - but I love that you already have several fics on here for me to read! 

:D



Author's Response:

How wonderful to hear from you, Michelle (also my only child's name).  You definitely don't want to read any of my Nagron fics yet if you haven't seen Season 3.  They are full of spoilers.  I will tell you this much...you won't regret watching the Season at all.  It will  make you laugh, cry, get angry, and happy.  In other words, it will play havoc with your emotions, but it is a fantastic final Season, culminating in an ending you'll never forget.  I truly do look forward to hearing from you once you've watched it and hope you will find my stories fun to read then.  I'm already hard at work on Story #5, in addition to a cross/over for Britin and Nagron.  Thank you so much for your comments.  Huge hugs, Grammy

 
A Part of Me by mandagrammy Rated: NC-18 [Reviews - 4]
Summary:

 

Agron has developed a firm friendship with Nasir, but it is only when he is parted from the young Syrian (and there is the very strong chance the young man could be killed) that he begins to realize there is more to their relationship than that. How his newfound feelings affect them both, and how it changes things between them, is revealed in thought and deed.

Unbeta'd for now, but will be corrected as soon as my beta is free. So please forgive any errors. Thank you, and enjoy!

aw! So lovely! It's nice to read something that dives further into the first few days of their relationship. I always felt like we didn't get to see enough of them in the second part of season 2! 

Very well done :D



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, LoveTheCoat.  I agree that there were so many gaps in that first Season they were together, and even in the last Season, but of course there were a lot of characters to deal with in a one hour show.  At least it gives writers like myself the chance to imagine all kinds of scenarios about what was going on or being said or thought during those gaps.  I'm thrilled that you like what i've come up with.  I'm working on another gap from Season 2 right now.  Hope I'll see you then.  Huge hugs, Grammy

I never would have guessed English was not your native language. This was very well done and I don't think I really noticed any mistakes!

As for the scene - I love Jennifer and Brian interactions and so I found this very sweet, and very appropriate. Jennifer Taylor was a great character on the show and I like how you presented her here.

I also like to think eventually Joan would overcome her prejudices and accept her son - but I fear she's been too long the way she is that change might be too difficult for her. But I am glad you had her question her beliefs for a moment. I don't think Joan is inherently evil - just misdirected and in need of some education, which Jennifer gave her a taste of here!

I enjoyed this greatly! Thank you for sharing it :)



Author's Response:

Thanks, LoveTheCoast!
I had a great help to translate the story as the original in Portuguese (I'm Brazilian).
I also love Jennifer and her relationship with Justin. For me, it is one of the charactersthat evolved during more show.Amo as realação it with Brian moved during the series.
As for Joan, also do not think it is really bad. She is an unhappy woman, who had an abusive husband and was never really loved (in a moment of the show, she tells Brianthat sometimes caught Jack to defend him).
I think your bias is the result of religious fanaticism.
I wanted Joan began to wonder about their beliefs and attitudes, and for me, the proper person to confront it might just be Jen.
Thank you for having read and commented.
Hugs!
