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.

The slave trade is alive and well in our AU society.  The community is mostly split half and half on the issue; half of society is for slavery and half is against.  However, Brian Kinney had never put much thought to the subject, despite the fact that his best friend, Michael, and Michael's mother, Deb, were both major players in CAST, a group against the sexual slavery of men and women.  But this all changes when Brian accompanies Michael to a slave auction, where he is introduced to a beautiful 18 year old slave named Justin, just now coming up for bid.  Born a free man, Justin's life was turned upside down when his father sold him into slavery at the tender age of 15, only three years before he was to be sold.  Chaos ensues.

Gus wants to surprise his dad and Justin and Mel make his happen. 

Written in 2007 and set loosely in the Homecoming universe but can be read as a stand alone.  The boys are in the new house and Christmas is coming.

Brian and Justin are in NYC with Gus and Jenny and decide to visit Santa. 

Justin and Brian have been together for over twenty years. They have a large family, with all the good and bad it involves. One morning their world is thrown into turmoil. Got the idea from Safe Passage, good movie but changing quite a bit.

* STORY NOW COMPLETE *

What happens when Michael's machinations finally leave him all alone?

4th in the Justin!Rage series.   Another Christmas story.  Follows on directly from Christmas Lights.

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!

**THE STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!**

This story follows the lives of Brian and Justin four years after Episode 513.


Brian and Justin are separated, but the love between the two has not been forgotten.  After finding success as a painter, Justin is back in Pittsburgh to be closer to his family and friends. Despite the love and the sexual tension between him and Brian, Justin decides to live his life without the presence of his great love, but a threat from the past returns, changing their plans.

Thanks to my wonderful Beta, Predec2, for the translation work and for the very special banner.

The Temptation of the flesh sometimes is hard to resist this is one of them    

I know, not a very creative title, but my brain has officially shut down for the night. 

So I tried really hard to get this posted by midnight, not as part of a challenge, but for Jackie Mag's birthday! That's right, love, this story is dedicated to you! Sorry I didn't get more done, and it's posting late, but I wanted to have a few decent chapters, and some steaminess just for you. 

This story was actually inspired by a plot bunny posted by  Deb Tanner. I'm usually not much of one for plot bunnies and turning them into stories, but there was one that just seemed to catch my attention. It's me, so I couldn't do a quick, simple story, and this story will fit into QAF canon.

The plot idea as proposed:   It seems that 12 yr. old Jenny Rebecca, Michael's little Honeybun, has her first crush… Justin is very flattered.

This story is a WIP, but it will be finished by the end of the week, promise. 

It's 2012, and eight years have passed since Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor have seen or talked to each other. Both men are living their own lives and are successful and happy; or so they think.

What happens when, in a bizarre turn of events and in a city far from either place the men respectively call home, the two run into each other? What happens when Brian finally admits to himself the huge mistake he made all those years ago and endeavors to get Justin back? What happens when Justin starts to question the path and the life he's chosen for himself?

Both men are very different then they were when they last saw each other; life's ups and downs have affected them to varying and shocking degrees. They're both older and arguably wiser, so will they find their way back to each other, or will they realize they're destined to always hurt each other?

Show canon through *most* of episode 5.1 before it diverges; alternating Point of View.

**NOW COMPLETE**

Everyone knows that Brian Kinney does not do Christmas. 

What happens if he's forced?  Will things get weird? 

Yep I'm afraid it will.
