Happy Halloween, everyone! It is time for me to offer your annual 'treat' for the holiday. This year I decided to give you another adult 'fairy' tale. This is my version of the 'Little Red Riding Hood' story. I hope you will enjoy it. I promise there are no mean 'tricks' waiting for you.

I want to thank Lori, for her invaluable help. She was a great sounding board. Huge thank you's also go out to the wonderful Judy for her terrific beta skills and my darling, Amy for the banner. I am a lucky lady.

Here's a ghost story for those of you who enjoy a little shiver up your spine at this time of year.  

This fic is set about two years post series.  Justin is back from New York and the first thing he does is to find a new studio.  It seems perfect for him ... so why do all his friends feel so uncomfortable there?

Justin's a mechanic... and someone with a fancy corvette stingray pulls into the shop one day....

There's cuddling by the fire...

They say that moving three times equals burning down once.

You step up to the window, and you watch him sleep like you do every night.

He can give you what you need the most. A second chance. (set post-202)

Even after all these years, there's still things Brian can teach Justin... or vice versa.

At Eva's welcome party, Debbie had commented that she was a spitting image of her dad, Brian had only laughed. Justin hadn't thought anything of it but now, it made him curious. “Why do you keep saying that?”

Since that night at the hospital five years ago, he hasn't cried. Today he does. Because some fucktard homophobes have blown up Babylon. Because Michael is in the hospital, fighting for his damn life. And because Justin is on the other side of the bathroom door, making tea.

Five Times Brian sat down at Justin's bed while he was in the coma

Brian and Justin's Post 5.13 lives go on and where are they now? Together or apart?

Author's Notes: I know the idea of Bottom!Brian isn't a favorite of a lot of people, so if it's not, you might wanna skip this fic but I think it's a beautiful representation of his love and trust for Justin ... not to mention it is sexy as hell! 

NEW NOTES: STORY FEATURES BOTTOM!BRIAN. DON'T LIKE THE IDEA? THEN PLEASE DON'T READ THIS AND BITCH ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU HATE BOTTOM!BRIAN. (author's notes are there for a reason)

Brian’s musings in rhyme

Justin's mother died at birth; he was taken from the hospital and raised in a secret unit of the Government.  He’s a killer, an assassin since birth. He’s also the shining star of the unit with his partner, Michelle.  They’re assigned the most dangerous missions of all.

The problem is Justin turned 17 last year, and in this unit when you turn 17 you are given a free pass to see the world for a year before deciding if a dangerous life is what you want or if you prefer to stay in your "fake" but safe life.

His first night in the real world, Justin falls in love... Will Justin return to his destined life or stay with Brian?

Blake is tired of Teddy being down on himself and he sets him straight - so to speak.

Brian goes missing during a sea cruise

Brian answers Justin's question in his own unique way. inspired by episode 220

Autumn One-shot.  Brian contemplates how different his life would be without his two special 'boys' in his life.

I didn't know what to call this story. Summary inside. Hope you enjoy! :) Possible m-preg. Tell me in the comments what you think.

Brian learns a lesson in colours.

Has Brian sacrificed too much for their happiness?

Completely AU.

In a perfect world where being Gay is accepted and no one is scorned or hurt for being different. Love is all that we need to survive and be happy.

Brian and Justin reflect back on their relationship through the years from 15 years into the future after the end of 513.

Those three little words ...

Post-series fic with no angst at all.  Promise!

The men take a road trip with the green eyed monster.

Will Brian find any comfort and support from his man?

Justin narrates his own version of the B/J love story in this AU version.  He meets Brian the day that Jason Kemp’s body is found.  (S2, E10).   The timeline is adjusted in that Justin has completed a 4 year art degree.  He’s 22, has had to hustle for survival and is tougher than he was in the series.  Brian is slightly OOC.  Inspired by the movie “Boy Culture” (X=J).

Michael brings his new BF, David Cameron out to Woody's and they find Brian there. He decides he wants to have a little fun with the Doc while Michael gets their drinks...

I was watching 'So You Think You Can Dance' when a performance was given to the song 'Somebody That I Used to Know'.  Bingo!!!  Another inspiration for a Brian/Justin love story.  Amazing how it keeps happening.  LOL!  Anyway, this is not a songfic.  Only the title inspired me.  This is a What If? story.  It begins with...What if Brian got the job in New York City that was offered just before the end of Season One and left Pittsburgh behind.  The story moves forward to five years later.  Justin has moved to NYC after graduating from PIFA and after a year in the City, he runs into Brian at a fine restaurant.  What happens then?

I want to thank my dear Granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner and my dear friend, Judy for her wonderful beta skills.  I hope you will enjoy their reunion as much as I enjoyed envisioning it.  Warmest hugs, Grammy

The men have an airport rendezvous.

This is a "What If".  What if Seasons 2 - 5 never happened and it was all a dream or was it?

SOME LIKE IT GREEN... 

Post-513. The aftermath of one of Brian and Justin’s little drinking games.

Ted and Blake have an addictive relationship. What happens when Brian and Justin get involved?

Although this is a major death story it is about the tragedy of the disease and how loved ones and the world in general is perceived by the person affected.


*****I would like to thank Daphne_Angel for my lovely banner*****


***** Major Character Death *****

Emmett and Justin are shopping so why does Brian keep calling Emmett?

Emmett has a drink with Brian in the office at Babylon. What will they discover?

Summary: Brian asks a question.

Author's Note: What do you do when you are plagued, PLAGUED, with ideas? You just have to write them, I guess. I was on a bit of a writing spree/roll/bender this entire weekend. Couldn't help myself and couldn't stop myself, and I have no idea why. So this one-shot sort of poured out of me and here it is. Enjoy!

What would happen if life was thrown at you with little time left and it was a mistake?

Brian and Justin’s thoughts as they get back together…

Post- 513. In the year following Justin’s departure for New York, Brian develops a dangerous obsession to fill the gaping hole that has opened up in his life. Banner by Kari77.

THIS STORY IS COMPLETE

Brian reflects on his life.

Michael’s perception of events makes Brian reassure Justin.

*****I would like to thank Daphne_Angel for my lovely banner*****

Brian needs to go back to the beginning if he wants to have a future with Justin.

Author's Note: Canon up to Justin's refusal of Brian's first marriage proposal in 511, then all bets are off. Some angst but no real warnings.

AU. Brian and Justin meet at Babylon for the first time, but inside. Brian owns Kinnetik and Babylon, all the characters are the same, and Justin goes to PIFA. Justin doesn't know any of them and didn't go to Liberty when he was in high school. Emmett is the manager of Babylon (cause I want him to be), and has an idea for a masquerade ball, inspired by Phantom of the Opera, which he and George saw in New York when they were dating. Brian and Justin may appear OOC, but given different circumstances, they would behave, act and feel differently. (Brief mentions of Justin/Other, but only plot).

Thanks to the brilliant Jackie Mag for her amazing banner! She always creates exactly what I picture in my head with little description. I had found the pic of the two men entwined some time ago, and once inspiration for this story hit, I had to incorporate this picture somehow.

A/N: Apparently there were some font issues (don't know if it's MW or my computer), but I think they're all fixed. Sorry about that :)

Justin and Brian have a talk.

The hot, steamy, rocky, beautiful relationship between Brian and Justin... told from a very different POV. 

I found this on an older thum drive, had completely forgotten I'd written this and had to share. Marked as complete, but will update as I am inspired... or if there are requests.

Complete AU, set roughly around the end of season three or basically three years after Brian meets Justin in canon.

Summary: Brian has been sort of, kind of, not really watching Justin from the sidelines for the past three years. Finally their paths collide.

This is a little fic based on the wonderful movie "From beginning to end" (“Do começo ao fim”). It's about Francisco, his little half brother Thomás, and their love for each other. If you haven't seen it, you REALLY should. You will love the lighting and music, and you will be just obsessed with the two actors (oh my...). I highly recommend this movie, the only thing you'll regret after seeing it, is that it is just 90 minutes and has no sequel.

Some people say that From Beginning to End is about gays or incest. But I disagree. That’s not what it’s about. For me, it is about pure love that shows no boundaries.

I've always wondered how Gus would have turned out if we could have seen it. In this fic Mel and Lindsay never moved to Toronto and Gus's 16. How he comes along with gay parents, Brian and his life?

Aftermath of Home. One shot. Non-Wincest!

Brian is a successful business man and Justin is a man of business. AU. Mind the warnings at the beginning of chapters!

What if it was Brian's first time when Justin topped? One shot.

Now Justin understands the words used to communicate a person’s love are not always the same.

This story is loosely based on the movie ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, which is hilarious. Brian and Justin are having marital problems and seek help through marriage counselling.

Harry, Draco, and their sons, Blaise and Ronald, have to solve a problem long thought solved.

As if welcoming an old friend the bit of unicorn tail hair encased in fig at ten inches longs molded against her hand. Well balanced, she had been told, good for charms. What about an Unforgivable?    

AU With a little help any lost soul can be found, but the person must first be willing to try. Will Justin be able to put his trust in Brian?

Intimacy in its creation. The diner patrons enjoy a show.

** From out of the mouths of babes... comes wisdom. **

Banner created by the awesome pam81 on Live Journal.

Post-series, but AU after 121. Brian got the job in New York in season 1. Brian and Justin never expected to run into each other again... and they meet in the most unusual of places.

Can they get back what they had? Do they want to?

Thank you D... Jackie Mag... my awesome banner creator! 

Updated July 24, 2012... finally!

This is an AU scene of when Mel/Linds asked Brian to give up his parental rights.

Set in 1961, a time before sexual liberation. Twenty-year old Brian Kinney comes to New York to escape the monotony of his town-life and to pursue his interests in photography. On his road to success, his path invariably crosses with Justin Taylor’s, a poor yet charming and determined student.

When Brian asks Justin to be his model for an upcoming photography competition, things start spiralling out of control, in more ways than one...

Brian and Justin are filling in time while waiting for their meals at the diner.

*****I would like to thank Daphne_Angel for my lovely banner*****

This is just a little something that came to me as I was re-watching Season 4. Title is self explanatory.

Debbie and Justin have a heart-to-heart talk on Vic's birthday. One-Shot.

Justin Taylor is an up and coming artist who has lived and worked in New York City for the past seven years.  Brian Kinney is an advertising executive with his own Company who also lives and works in the Big Apple.  What happens when they both visit Central Park on a beautiful Spring Day?  How will the day end?  Read on and discover for yourself.  Many thanks to Marika for the lovely banner.  My beta, Judy, is still on vacation, but I'll re-post the beta'd copy as soon as it is returned to me.  Thank you for your patience.

Beta: Taytay4936, I couldn't do any of it without you

Banner: Masterglory, grazie mille Cara

Brian is called to the hospital when Gus and Justin are brought in. Pre 308

Based on the TV series, Sister Sister.  Brian and Justin don't know each other.  Yet.

Thanks Marny for the banner

Krycek is thinking...

I have a new story for your weekend reading.  My beta, Judy is still on a whirlwind trip after enjoying her time at the glorious QAF Rise 'n Shine Convention so this is unbeta'd temporarily.  I'll post corrections asap when she is able to get some extra time in her super busy 28 hours a day.  LOL!

This is my newest version of what comes after Brian and Justin part at the loft, and Justin heads off to the airport for his flight to New York City.  As we all know it was Winter time.  Who could forget the unforgettable scene as snow fell outside their window when they made such beautiful love together?  Well, what if the snow fell so heavily that night that all flights were delayed?  And what if Justin, who we all know loves to make conversation with interesting people, finds himself sharing the waiting hours with a kindly old lady (yes, I'm putting myself into this story) who also enjoys a good conversation?  Where does it all lead?  Read on to find out.  Many thanks to my Granddaughter, Marika, for taking time out of her 4th of July celebrations with friends to provide the lovely banner.  

When Brian loses his bracelet, Justin thinks he may have a substitute...

Brian & Justin have their 1st year together, per series, but, in this story, Justin goes away to college and they lose touch.  How will the guys get back together and what will happen after the years have passed?  Part of the story told thru their diary/journal entries.  Song fic based on Lady Antebellum song of the same name.

AU past the pilot. Brian and Justin go their separate ways after their first night together, both thinking that that was it for them. Fate, however, has other plans and keeps throwing the boys together around the same time once a year. Will they listen to Fate and to their hearts, or will they go their separate ways in the end?

~*~*~*~*~

A gapfiller for episode 511. Justin's reflections on the first night in Britin.

If there's one day out of the day that Ted hates, it's Valentine's day ...

There's still so much Brian wants needs to learn...

On a glum night, Ted decides to go out to Babylon to have some fun with the gang, but he didn't count on having his mind on a tiny box in his wardrobe that contains a collection of small memorabilia.

A foray into the illicit ‘what if’. Springtime brings Brian and Justin comfort in unexpected forms. 

Written for the 'Spring Fever Fanfiction Challenge' at True Queer Love.

The gang are sharing an evening at the Novotny's but Blake is having a tough night. After an altercation with Emmett, he makes a decision to could make or break his future.

Surprise! I know I've been away from writing for quite a while, but I have a new short story that I hope you will find somewhat worth the wait. The setting is post Season 5 by several months. Brian has developed a unique problem that he has only faced one other time. He turns to the psychologist who helped him with Justin's problem after the bashing in hopes of finding a solution. Will the good Doctor figure out the puzzle that is confronting Brian and help him solve it? I dedicate this to Lori, who had been a blessing in my present chaotic life and given me much needed incentive to get back to my writing. As always, I owe a great debt of gratitude to Judy, my beta, and Marika, my banner maker. Thanks to both of them.

New York life was starting to get to Justin...

Bondage.

AU after 507. Brian sends Justin the scarf in the mail.

He grabbed your neck and smashed his mouth against yours and just that caused a shock of the sexual charge that's always been there between the two of you to build like fire in the pit of your stomach and make its way through your bones, igniting you.

Justin tells Brian one of his secrets, a fantasy of his that he's kept hidden for some time. Brian's reaction is much more intense than expected.

He's inside me now, and I know that this will forever be a part of me - of us.

He wouldn't. Not here. Not now. Not ever.

Brian and Justin have fun at the gym.

Watching the Rise and Shine Convention on youtube, I heard Randy say that he pictures Justin still being in New York today, having made a success of his art. He went on to say that he pictures the relationship between Brian and Justin as completely changed.

So, after I got over my initial screaming fit, bellowing nooooooo at the computer screen, much to the shagrin of my family...this is where my muse went with this new stimuli...

A sense of realization hits you so strongly that this change in you might even be visible to the naked eye. Love.

He wasn't always terrible...

What happens eight weeks after Justin Leaves for new York?  A three-part fluffy story that satisfies my need to get Brian and Justin back together in the quickest, easiest way!

Brian's epiphany.

How do Justin and Brian deal with a surprising revelation?

A weekend at Britin, 15 years after the end of 513.

"I Would watch him sleep every single night, praying that I could take his place."

Ongoing story, rated M for strong langauge, adult themes and real-life issues x

Brian Kinney's idea of a love letter is, well...unique.

"It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime." – Khaled Hosseini

There' a new sheriff in Bon Temps and her name is Jo.  She's human, a woman's woman, definitely not a wimp... and she has Eric Northman's full attention.

This fic is an AU, based on the show True Blood.  Characters and plot may parallel the show, but will not necessarily be true to canon.  Spoiler alert.  Hetero sex alert. Many thanks and most sincerest gratitude to  foreverbm   for the beautiful banner.

Disclaimer: I'm just borrowing some characters for a brief time. No claims to ownership.

While in Malfoy Manor, Harry, Ron and Hermione end up in the Marauders 7th year. When finding out their timeline no longer exists, what will they do? What happens when they fall in love with the least likely people? What will they do in regards to the Horcruxes and the Deathly Hallows?

When Remus breaks a promise he made to his friends, James, Sirius and Peter must intervene. For his own good, of course. Rated for language

Brian turns the big 4-0; how will he react?  B/J one-shot.

Sometimes it's nice to know you're still the same to the one who loves you!

This is an INVERTED AU. Alternating viewpoints. Brian is a little shit and Justin is just trying to be patient while his life is turned upside down.

I might have suggested it, but Moonshadow Woman requested it... so here it is.

Each chapter is a recap of each episode of The Secret Circle, along with a video of all the scenes Gale is in, as Charles Meade (as I find them). The videos come from mytears inheaven's vimeo's channel, she also has a youtube channel.  I've included some pics from each episode, as well. These might be repeats if you read "Gale in the Secret Circle", but we can never get too much Gale, can we?

If you want to watch full episodes, some are available on cwtv.com, some might be on Netflix. 

The series premiered on the CW, in America, on Thursday, September 15, 2011.

When Justin comes home, Brian's nowhere to be found!

In this A/U: Justin Taylor and Brian Kinney never met before, and Justin is a contestant on the ‘Dating Game Show’ and Brian’s one of three hidden bachelors that Justin must choose among. At the end of the show, will Justin walk away with Brian or one of the other two bachelors?
