AU: Brian has a nightly visitor and he just can't make any sense of it.

This is loosely based on the short movie "Betrothed" starring Gale Harold.

I apologize for the delay in getting my holiday story to you, but I hope you will still enjoy it.  It seems that Brian has a problem being around for Justin whenever a big holiday comes up.  They've been living together for several years, and this year is the straw that broke the camel's back.  Brian again misses every holiday for the last few months of the year, so Justin decides it is time to do something about it.  

Many thanks to my wonderful beta, Judy, for her skills, and my dear Granddaughter, Marika, for the lovely banner.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away. Inspired by the song Last Christmas from Wham, also I wrote this after watching Call Me By Your Name.

Brian and Justin meet in a different way. -  AU

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. With thanks to SandiD - who put up with my pernickityness and complete inability to explain what I meant and did a wonderful image; if I stuffed it up at the end, then that's my clumsiness.

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.

What if Justin didn't go back after Brian kicked him out -  Cancer Arc

Brian and Justin make a bet against each other. Which one will fold first? 

Our Sunshine is sick and his husband is away for business but Brian still manages to take care of his beloved.

On December 31th, Brian Kinney, a successful ad man, and his artist partner, Justin Taylor, stay at their country house to ring in the New Year with the entire 'gang' of friends and extended family. On New Year's morning, they all realize they can’t return to the city due to heavy snow.  During that time Brian, Justin, and their friends and family all learn more about their past than they could ever have imagined.

Several months after Justin leaves with Ethan, he happens to run into Brian in Chicago and they inevitably fall into bed together. After that, neither can resist and these trysts start to become a regular thing. Everything is going great - they don't have the gang giving them unwanted advice and nobody but them knows what's going on. Until, eventually, Brian gets tired of being the 'other man' and wants more . . . Based on T**'s plot bunny.

It's Christmas, and Brian and Justin have very different views about their Christmas Tree.

Another little Christmas offering, written while I've been travelling. It's unbeta'd and I haven't even really done a full read through but hopefully there aren't too many errors.

It's set in the Homecoming!future 'verse. Gus is thirteen and Dani is just a few weeks old.

Anyway, here it is.

Gift Request: Brian/Justin gets custody of Gus, don't particularly care how. If you want to go the Lesbian!hate route, that's fine by me.
Summary: Post S5 in an AU where there is no JR (just purely because it simplified the plot). Something has happened in Toronto and Brian gets a phone call that sends him into action.

Brian hates spending Christmas with his family and so does Justin. What happens when their parents live right next to each other but they have never met and neither are feeling the Christmas spirit.

Justin and a reluctant Brian celebrate the holidays; Brian makes a surprising decision.

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

One shot standalone fic.

There's more than meets the eye when it comes to Brian's ever-present food rule, "no carbs after seven."

Plot bunny by Sally. Thanks to SandiD for beta reading.

The latest continuation of the story started in "Sickness & Health, Good Times & Bad".  It is not necessary to read all the previous stories but this will make more sense if you do. 

Thanks to Marny for this beautiful banner!!!!

Justin just doesn’t like it that Brian works evenings too.

Brian e Justin stanno assieme da diciassette anni, beh, più o meno: sono passati diciassette anni dalla notte del loro incontro, quella in cui è nato Gus, il figlio di Brian e della sua amica Lindsey, e da allora si sono presi e lasciati più o meno regolarmente. 
Gus, invece, è disposto a tutto perché la sua relazione fili liscia come l'olio, ma si è appena trasferito a Pitsburgh e l'unica cosa di cui è certo è che la vita è un gran casino e questo, in sostanza, è l'unica cosa su cui padre e figlio sono d'accordo.

On a Thanksgiving gathering at Debbie's house, Brian seems to display signs of a midlife crisis.  Is it just that, or is it because he misses a certain someone? B/J One-Shot

Another story were Brian and Justin meet totally randomly.

Justin returns from working on Rage in LA and becomes depressed and must also face his largely untreated PTSD from the bashing. AU from 501. This series follows Justin and Brian as they navigate mental health diagnoses and treatment. Alternating first person POV with the focus always on Brian and Justin's relationship and their evolving dynamics - both as individuals and as a couple - as they navigate learning to manage chronic mental illness.

It's been a year since Justin Taylor, a young under butler arrived at Britin manner in Pennsylvania. While Justin slowly adjusts to his new status as Master Kinney's close companion and lover, Brian learns to trust and love again.

An unexpected guest appears in Britin on one October day and puts all of Brian and Justin's love and trust to the test.  Who will prevail? *STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!*

Brian asked Justin a very important question when the "Changed" series concluded. What will his answer be? Where will they go from here?

The first time Debbie Novotny heard about Brian Kinney, Michael was in the eighth grade. It was just after spring break. He’d come home from school chattering away excitedly about the new boy in his class who’d just moved to Pittsburgh from some town she couldn’t remember. All through dinner it was Brian this, and Brian that. Michael was clearly enamored with this Brian kid.

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.

25-year-old Brian sees 21-year-old Justin and really wants to get to know him.

Justin Taylor is a young under butler at Master Brian Kinney's estate in the late 1880's in Pennsylvania. Brian keeps  a painful, dark secret from his past. Could a chance encounter between the master and the under butler on a cold, October night lead to a brighter future?

Brian gets into a bar fight.

What if, after overhearing the doctor leaving a message on Brian's machine, Justin had confronted Brian, instead of going to Michael? How would things have been different?

Canon divergence begins midway through episode 408. Plot bunny by Deb. Thanks to Sandi for being my beta.

Emmett’s got a new boyfriend, first Sunday dinner at Debbie’s, you know how it goes.

AU after Season 4. The year Justin turns 23, he and Brian get the news that over the next year he's going to gradually lose all of his hearing. The series tracks the next three years of their life as they manage their new reality, after-effects of the bashing, their eventual move to New York, and their ever-evolving relationship. Told in first-person chapters from their points of view and some outsiders, with some angst, a lot of hurt/comfort, and loads of humor. Never any big relationship drama, and no one ever takes themselves too seriously.

The way things should have gone. Correcting Cowslip’s mistakes once again…

I was watching the ladies of 'The View' last week, and they were discussing another trend besides sexting called video sexing.  Like the naughty old lady I am, the first thought that popped into my head was that I could clearly see Brian and Justin indulging, especially after being separated at the end of the series.  Of course I had to put my own spin on it too.  So I now offer you my vision of what might happen a couple of months after Justin left for NYC.  

This is a special gift for our dear friend, Kim.  It's my way of thanking her for all her help in the past and her continuing support despite my long absence from writing.

I also want to thank my fantastic beta, Judy, for once again being there for me.  A special thank you for my beloved Granddaughter,, Marika, for creating another banner for me despite her own busy  life.    Enjoy!
