Brian is missing and Michael is worried

Brian and Justin contemplate their life together….

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.

a fun little story with Brian freaking out because what he was dreading is finally happening

There's been an accident and Brian's life will never be the same.

When Justin gets the opportunity of a lifetime, he accepts the challenge to do President Kinney's portrait. He only has to win over the Head of Security who believes Justin is trouble for the President.

Brian is a private investigator working on an art theft for an insurance company. Justin just moved to Pittsburgh and is now working for Emmett Honeycutt and George Schickle in the Schickle Art Gallery. Brian arranges to meet with Justin, hoping Justin might have heard something working with art.

There are instantaneous sparks when they meet, and the heat between them begins to grow and grow. Will Brian find the art thief? Does Justin have the connections to assist him? Will they be able to focus on the case at hand or will their attraction to each other distract both of them enough to fail.

It’s Devils’ Night and Justin is missing. Brian’s panicked, and Michael’s innocent act is failing miserably…

Justin became a dad when he was sixteen. Now his son is seventeen and his best friend just happens to be Brian Kinney.

This is the long awaited...at least by some, sequel to The Funeral. It started as funny but seemed to go back and forth between that and drama. I hope you like it anyway. Thanksgiving with the Kinney-Taylor family with all the surprises it entails.

Justin is finally getting recognition for his talent. He has just made his first big sale.  Along with the sale comes notoriety come media attention.  After saying no to interview after interview, he finally says yes.  How was he to know that they would send Brian Kinney to ask the questions.  He had hated him since high school and now he had no option but to go through with the meeting.

Now it is up to Brian and Justin to try and get their kind and caring son back before it is too late.

Brian has had a bad day at work and plans on unwinding by going to Woody’s and Babylon with his friends and his Sunshine, only to have his plans dashed when he comes home to find quite the surprise.

As the title says: This is it! The Wedding :)

This one will be a lot shorter than the previous fics in this universe and there will be a lot less angst. As the title says, this is about their wedding and I think we can all agree that they deserve a happy, angst-free wedding, right?!?

Don’t people just love neighbors? Especially those loud, obnoxious, annoying, way too confident, hot as hell wall bangers, or more like floor bangers in this story. Doesn’t this sound just like a dream? Or maybe, your nightmare?

THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE! 

There’s a new member in the Kinney-Taylor household who is constantly getting in the way of all things in Brian’s life. I will let the banner speak for itself.

Justin Taylor graduated from art school with a graphic design degree.  While his partner Steven finished school, he was working for a small advertising firm.  He had applied for the city's biggest advertising company, Kinnetik, but after meetint the owner decided he prefered to make less money at the small agency than work with the arrogent prick, Brian Kinney.

One-Shot Influenced by Current Events. Brian reflects upon how tactile he is.

The funny flipside of Brian's Season 4 line, "Of all the times we've fucked -- and by now it has to be well into the quadruple digits -- that has to rank in the top five." Five times when things didn't quite go as planned...

Standalone one-shot. PWP.

An enigmatic, mysterious man unexpectedly appears before Justin two days before Christmas.  What will happen? 

Well hello, folks.  I know that this story is super late, but a lot of things, many of which were beyond my control, caused the delay.  I hope you will still find it worth waiting for.  This is my entry into the 5 (6) word challenge we were given months ago.  In this story, Justin is still living in NYC, but not so happily.  Not only does he miss Brian, but he is not thrilled with his living situation.  Then one careless accident changes everything.  I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my beta, Judy, for her skills.  Another huge thanks to my granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner.  Hugs, Grammy

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? 

I know what Brian is doing -- he’s being protective of me, the same way he always has been. That’s just his nature; he’ll do anything for his friends, and he never wants to see anyone he cares about get hurt, physically or otherwise. But I’m a big girl, and I can take care of myself.

***

Cynthia and Brian are more than just co-workers; they're friends. Family, really. But how will they support one another when push comes to shove?

This story fits into the "Changed" verse.

Brian Kinney is the editor of "Out & Proud," a well-known gay publication. Justin Taylor is a brilliant young journalist working for the same publication and Brian's life partner.  During their ongoing search for new, interesting items to write about, Brian sends Justin to meet with Vic Grassi, who was one of the prominent figures of gay life in the Pitts in the 1970's and 1980's.  Justin is somewhat reluctant to take the assignment at first, but after he learns more about Vic and his fascinating life story —as well as his special bond with Brian — he's more inspired than ever before.

Brian comes home after a long day at work only to find Justin drunk in his loft.

It’s restocking day in the Kinney-Taylor household.

“Why don’t you let me do the dishes,” Brian offered, which was more normal -- Justin would cook and they would both clean together afterward, just to expedite the task. “You can go take a hot shower,” he added.

“It’s okay,” Justin said, rinsing a plate. “We can get it done faster, and then you can join me in the shower.” 

Brian smirked, clearly interested in that idea. “Thought you might be too tired,” he admitted, starting to dry what Justin had already washed. 

“An hour ago, I probably was… But seems the sight of you in the kitchen has restored my motivation.”

Brian seems obsessed with a young blond twink and Justin really doesn’t like it.

While looking after Jennifer Brian is prompted to put his feelings towards his parents on paper for how they treated him.

*THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!*

Brian has just lost his mother, and he doesn't quite know how to feel about things.  He decided to open a box she had in her closet that has always caught his attention, and when he does things will never be the same.   Inside the box are mysterious letters, and a photograph that will change his life forever.

Craig Taylor leaves his son a letter explaining his cruel actions during his life. It's up to Justin if can ever forgive him for the way he was treated.

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my wonderful beta, Judy, for her skills in tidying up my work, and my beloved granddaughter, Marika, for her evocative banner.  I love you girls.

I would also like to add one special note for this story.  I have been under the mistaken impression for years that Brian was Joan's firstborn.  Thankfully, many of you have straightened me out on this point.  However, it is integral to this story that Brian is the firstborn, so please indulge my twist on this one canon issue.  Thank you.

An annoyed Brian is a good Brian.

Michael gets on Brian's bad side, but is he the only one to blame for?

My take on the title 'The Photo'.

It's present-day in NYC.  What has become of Molly, and her relationship with her brother?  

A Halloween fic set in the Gus/ Dani Homecoming!future 'verse. Gus has just turned sixteen. Danika (short version - Justin and Daphne's daughter) is about to turn three.  Gus wants to hang with his mates on Halloween but Dani really, really wants to go Trick or Treating with her big brother.

Brian reflects following the massacre at Pulse Nightclub on June 12, 2016.

This one-shot is set in 2016. It is separate from the EXPOSURE ‘verse and is post-series. Brian and Justin are together and have been. What happened after Justin left for NYC and how they ended up where they are now is not important to this story.
