Once Brian and Justin meet their heads are permanently in the clouds.

When two souls meet. 

This story is divided according to the seasons and corresponds to the mindset of our beloved boys.  This story is set in an alternative universe where Brian and Justin's personalities do not correspond exactly with canon. 

Please be patient with me, as this was the most difficult story I've ever written so far. It's my first attempt at an Alternate Universe, and it is also the first story I've composed that deals with the death of a major character.  If this is upsetting to you, please do not read.  Tissue Warning!

Thanks to my wonderful Beta Predec2 the translation and for the beautiful banner.

Important note: Due to problems in posting the story, some parts of the fic were not published initially. The story was edited and scenes were included.

Takes place years after Justin left for New York.  He and Brian have both gone on with their lives, rarely seeing one another.  When Justin receives a mysterious call from Michael, he drops everything and heads back to Pittsburgh and Brian determined to do what-ever he must to fix the problem.

This is an A/U and a MPREG:  Justin Taylor is only seventeen-years-old but already he has been diagnosed as barren (infertile).   However, Justin thinks his empty nest is miraculously filled when he mysteriously comes into possession of someone else’s baby and tries to pass it off as his own.

Justin heads for New York, leaving Brian alone until a terrible accident changes both their lives...Takes place post Ep. 513 after Justin has left the loft and before Michael convinces Brian to rebuild Babylon.

I want to thank my wonderful Beta Predec2 for her beautiful translation, for all her help and for the very special banner.

Thanks Kim for all the generosity you have given me.

*FEATURED STORY FOR APRIL 2018*

It takes a very special couple to embarrass a teenage boy...

My entry for "The Great Outdoors" Summer Fan Fiction Challenge 2013.

Whose P.O.V.

Brian Kinney is holding an end of year business party at kinnetic and Justin is at the party with his parents, who own Taylor electronics. Ted believes that they are the Taylor's that own an empire (Ted can some times pick things up wrong, right?)
Brian takes Justin home the next night. Someone finds out about Justin's true identity (can you guess who? lol) and takes great pleasure in telling Brian. How will Brian react?

Beta Judy (bigj52) and banner by Ali (britinkinlor) thank you to you both :)

Brian Kinney is a ruthless, but very wealthy business man and uses any means to achieve his ends so when sleazy photographer Craig Taylor tries to blackmail the tyrant with incriminating photos, Brian turns the tables by having Craig’s son Justin kidnapped. Soon Brian and Justin are plunged into a nightmare world of murder, crooked politicians and corrupt police.

Finally did it...my very first crossover story, and my QAF muse has come back home too.  So I hope you'll enjoy this new story.  For those who love Spartacus (and especially Agron and Nasir) you'll know them well.  This story is set during the revolt of the slaves of Rome between 73 B.C. and 71 B.C.  I have done my best to be as accurate to true history as I can, but the story is based on the way history is told by the Starz series, 'Spartacus'.  I've changed Brian and Justin's names slightly to fit what was used in that time period.  All the names I've used for characters are accurate according to my research.  At the beginning none of the four men have met and spent any time together.  I promise you, that will change quite quickly.  The Agron/Nasir part of the story is more canon, while the Brian (Brion)/Justin (Justinus) part of the story is certainly AU. I hope you will enjoy the blending of these two magnificent couples.

A special note of thanks to my darling Granddaughter, Amy for the banner.  A very special thanks to my beta, Judy...plus I wish to dedicate this story to her.  Her support and friendship has been invaluable in getting me back on track in writing stories.

I love to let my imagination run wild for all those times we could only guess what was happening to Agron and Nasir when they weren't in a scene. So I've taken two episodes...#7 (Sacrementum) & #8 (Balance)...from Season 2: 'Vengeance' and filled in some blanks, at least the way I saw them in my mind. I hope you will enjoy them.

Many thanks to my beta, Judy for her wonderful help.

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!

DISCLAIMERS:

Everything’s Cowlip’s, I own nothing and no-one. I gain nothing, not a cent from this, except, maybe, a smile from sungaizing85.

NC18 for sex & drugs. No violence.

Inspired by a true story. More on that after you read the whole thing.

Mid or post season 3, during the summer (Cowlip timing is too hard for me to decipher. It’s the summer. That’s really all that matters).  

Agron and Nasir have had a loving, trusting relationship from the moment they got together, but the honeymoon period is quickly coming to an end with the arrival of a good looking pirate named Castus.  Castus has taken a shine to Nasir and isn't afraid to show it, much to the irritation of a certain German rebel.  When Nasir sees how upset Agron is with Castus's presence, he promises to avoid the pirate in future.  When Agron sees them together, he gets the wrong idea and, like an out-of-control battle, all hell breaks loose.  What happens when Agron uses the wrong word on Nasir to show his displeasure could tear them apart.  What happens next is up to Agron now.  

Many thanks again to my dear friend, Judy for her beta help.  I also want to dedicate this story to my fellow MW reader, Boriqua522.  I was given the idea for this story by them and I am deeply grateful.

Sometimes love comes into your life when you least expect it.

Brian is deceived. What will happen when he finds outs?

Thank you so much Judy (bigj52 on Livejournal) for fixing my story :)

What if Brian had gone to Vermont to surprise Justin for Spring Break, at the end of 2.17?   *For the 'Spring is in the Air' Challenge*

Mysterious Marilyn is up to her old tricks.  Offering advice to the Stud of Liberty Ave can cause the future to change in the blink of an eye when Mysterious Marilyn reads the cards and doesn't see a happy ending for Brian and Justin.  But is the future set up in concrete?  Not only will things be different for Brian, but just about everyone around him will feel its affects.  What happens when after Brian follows the cards written and later the reading changes?  Can the future be changed?  Should it be changed?   Where does Justin fit in?  You'd be surprised.  Watch as Mysterious Marilyn meddles in peoples lives to correct her mistake.

It's that age old Brian and Justin story only with a few twists and turns, dribbles and nutmegs. Brian is our much loved ad exec and Justin is a 17 year old semi-pro soccer player trying to find his way in a world that doesn't always accept his sexuality.

had this idea because my friend loves the stupid Cupid scene with Brendan and Joel. This is an early Valentine's Day fic. What if God made Cupid help out Brendan. warning of lots of bad language and sex. Tragedy and romance

There's a persistent intruder at Britin.  How will Justin and Brian get rid of her?  B/J One-Fic.  Humor/romance

"This story is about an overweight gay who undergoes extreme plastic surgeries to become a pop sensation for the sake of love."

This is totally away from cannon. Everyone is different...really. I hope you guys like it. It's something new and that got into my head and wouldn't leave me alone until I put it down. There will be more. Let me know what you guys think...always love that.

This was written for the QAF xmas gift exchange.  The request was for a fic where one of them has cancer.  It is NOT a death fic. It is one of the hardest fics I've ever written.

Beta by the fabulous JustBeAQueen.

Comments are always welcome.

Four gapfillers (for ep. 202, 308, 410 and post-513). Based on the Robert Frost quote: "We dance round in a ring and suppose, while the secret sits in the middle and knows."

Brian has a secret past that is about to be revealed. Old demons will need to be dealt with, and new ones will emerge. How will Brian’s past affect Justin, and their future together?

Was it merely serendipity that brought Justin to that lamppost on that fateful night, or was it a preordained event? This is a tale of pain and struggle, and love and hope. Where old characters are merged with new ones and life takes some very interesting turns for the gang and especially for Brian and Justin.

Note: This story is a repost. It is the first in a series.  The sequels are 'Return to Me', and  'A Stitch in Time' 

Brian is forced to take dance lessons when he loses a bet.  But does his luck change when he meets his beautiful, blond, dance instructor?  B/J AU Romance. 

*STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!*

Set a week after the death of YED aka Azazel. Sam, Dean and Gabriel are back on the road; hunting evil and killing monsters. They have their work cut out for them with the release of all the demons from the hell-gate. Along the way, Sam and Gabriel are adjusting to their new relationship and Dean knows that there’s something Sam’s not telling him. Enter the seven sins, walking earth for the first time in centuries. Just when the Winchesters thought things couldn’t get more complicated.

You'd think it was a Christmas fic wouldn't you? If that's what you're looking for - best to just move on - ‘cause there is no Santa here...

...instead, what we really have is a series of snippets in which our favorite QAF characters happen to overhear the boys in the throes of passion - and can hardly believe their ears...

Some canon - some definitely not - some that could be - with timelines that work  for this story - all showing a ‘depth of love' that is only Brian/Justin - and for me, will always be!

Brian and Justin are finally together, but when tragedy strikes, their happy home is turned upside down and everything seems to fall apart. What will happen when Justin makes a tremendous mistake? Will Brian be able to forgive him, or will they part for good this time?

When Babylon is bombed, Brian gets caught in the crossfire and loses his memory. Reliant on his friends to explain his life to him, Brian realises he doesn't like the person he once was and begins to live his life with his eyes open for the first time. AU

After centuries wandering around the world, Justin Taylor arrives in Pittsburgh with the intention of staying there for a while. He's young, handsome, wealthy - and immortal. Nothing is what it seems to be with Justin, especially when he takes over Babylon, the same Babylon that is Brian Kinney's personal playground. But who plays with whom when Justin enters Brian's world? Can either one of them win the game when the stakes are bloodcurdling?

Post-513, Partial Gapfiller for ep. 214, 406.
When Justin flies off the handle after getting some unwelcome news,
Brian challenges him on his irrational and sometimes naive responses to difficult situations. Warning: Spanking Scene

Fictional romance has consequences.

Justin Taylor is a 19 year old hustler who was brought into a new world when he was 17 by a man he thought he trusted, but a betrayal sent him reeling and he was forced to survive on his own. Brian Kinney is a 28 year old man with everything he could possibly want and more. A thriving business, friends he calls family and the legendary status as The Stud Of Liberty Avenue but it’s all starting to be monotonous. What happens when just wanting some company turns into something more? 

A/N: Hi guys, for those of you following my story, i'd just like to point out that I changed the POV from 3rd person to 1st person. I'm sorry if 1st person POV's aren't your thing, it's just that it's easier for me to write and really get into the characters heads when i'm using 1st person. So, everything after chapter 2 will be in 1st person POV. I hope this doesn't discourage you from reading my fic. 

and, don't worry, I won't be editing the first two chapters as that would ruin the flow of it and I don't really want to ruin that.

thanks for reading!

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.

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

Sequel to "An Innocent Assassination."

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.  And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines. 

*THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE**

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?

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

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

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

We all remember the scene episode 201, when Jennifer demanded  Brian to go away from Justin, and the one in 202, when the blond went to Brian’s place and Brian slammed the door in his face. Well what if Justin's reaction would have been different? What if instead of getting mad, forcing his mother to ask Brian to take him back, he’d had fallen into a deep depression? Everything would have been different.
This is an AU from that scene episode 202. Justin's life followed a very different path that kept him away from Liberty Avenue. Now, 17 years later, Justin is back in Pittsburg Would it be any chance for he and Brian to regain what they once had? Would they want to? Anyway, this time, they will have unexpected allies.

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

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?    

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
