After a promise to Mikey, Brian and the gang goes to camp. Brian could think of many things to do for a week better than going to an adult summer camp.

At first, no one knew what to do, and it seemed like we changed direction every few hours. Could we still go to work, as long as we kept our distance, or should we stay home? Should we stay three feet apart, or six? Should we wear masks, or were we okay to go without them?

Now, we’ve gone for almost a month hardly ever leaving the apartment, and the last time we went out for more than a quick errand was the day we helped Gus pack his things and move out of his dorm at NYU mid-semester. And I’m still not sure anyone truly knows what to do. But we’re all doing the best we can. For right now, that’s all we can do.

***

Brian, Justin, and Gus quarantine together in New York, trying to stay grounded amid the chaos and uncertainty.

The Pandemic has hit Pittsburgh and Brian and Justin decide to help.

As 18-year-old Gus leaves Pittsburgh to go out of state for college, he leaves behind some unresolved issues concerning his dad's failed relationship. After a chance encounter at a café in Brooklyn, Gus decides to take action and help the people he cares about.

After years of no word from Brian, Justin receives a phone call that brings him back to his lover who needs his support more than ever. 

“Baking cookies shouldn’t take that long if we both do it,” Justin countered. “Or you can stand there all night, holding the things I need, because then we’ll both be fucked, and--”

“--not in a positive, life-affirming way,” Brian finished in a deadpan, then sighed and brought the bags to the counter. “Fine. What do I do?”

***

A semi-forced Christmas assignment gives Brian a little more satisfaction than he originally imagined...

Brian’s lost in a downward spiral since Justin’s bashing left him in a coma. But they share a love that refuses to die. Now they just need to find their way back to one another.

“Let’s play ‘Never Have I Ever,’” Emmett exclaimed, clapping his hands excitedly. “We’re all drunk enough to be brutally honest.” 

***

A Fourth of July party hosted by the Novotny-Bruckner's, numerous pitchers of margaritas, and a bonfire -- the perfect ingredients for an unforgettable night between longtime friends

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.

A series of text messages exchanged by the gang. 

Gus’ lips rolled inward, a carbon copy of Brian’s signature contemplative look. “I just like…” he sighed again, more heavily this time. “I just wish I could forget about this for, like, an hour or something.” 

Brian made a small noise of realization that made Justin look toward him, and as soon as he registered the intention on his husband’s face, he moved closer to Brian and hissed, “No. Brian, you can’t.” 

Brian gave Justin his most charming smile and said, “Oh, but I can!”

***

A heartbroken Gus spends a weekend in New York with Brian and Justin. In an effort to help his son, Brian turns to a tried-and-true method.

Justin drives Gus home from New York, Brian is supposed to be there in a few days. Brian's worst nightmare happens.

When Justin came home from his studio and found Brian in the kitchen making dinner, he knew something was wrong.

Brian didn’t cook. Even after 15 years of knowing the man and spending most of them in a relationship with him, Justin could count the times Brian had made them dinner on one hand. Apparently, tonight he was adding one more to the tally.

***

Fifteen-year-old Gus is spending the summer with Brian and Justin in New York. He decides to test the limits of Brian's relatively lenient parenting style, with unintended consequences.

This was the same, only different.

This time, his filters were firmly in place, because Justin knew that kicking, punching, and destroying wasn’t going to fix this. It wasn’t going to take away the fact that his lover had cancer.

This story was written in July 2018.

He could tell Michael that he loved him. Always had, always will. Brian wasn’t sure why saying “I love you” to Michael was so easy -- why it was different. Why the words flowed off his tongue with Michael but felt stuck in his throat with Justin.

********************

This is a song fic inspired by Lifehouse's song "Yesterday's Son." It's gap filler, and a peek inside Brian Kinney's head through several key story arcs in the course of the show's five seasons. It's the first story I wrote for the QAF fandom in July 2018.

An AU which popped into my head a few years back around St. Patrick's Day when I was listening to Tommy Fleming singing Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears.  (Which turned out to be ironic, because Brian doesn't actually enter the US through Ellis Island.)  It's set in the early 1900s.  Justin is the son of a wealthy NY merchant. Brian is a poor Irish immigrant.  Only the luck of the Irish could bring them together.

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.

AU End of season 2. At the Rage party, instead of leaving with Ethan, Justin left both Ethan, and a shocked Brian. He also never cheated with Ethan. This is nothing like season 2. It's just how I would have liked it to go.

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.

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. This one follows directly on from Leaving Home.

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

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.

Pride Month is celebrated by the gang.  *STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!*

This story is complete, and will be updated every few days. Hope you enjoy it!

Brian and Justin meet under different circumstances. Will love conquer all? You have to read to find out. I must warn a relationship between Brian and Michael will be mentioned but it's in the past. Michael is DEAD in this story.

An alternate S5.  It starts in the same place, and ends more or less in the same place, it even covers a lot of the same plot points, but quite a few things get tweaked along the way into something that seemed to me more true to the characters as I understand them (especially, of course, Brian and Justin).

Political intrigue and danger await Brian and Justin as they discover the sinister truth behind the death of Jason Kemp.  AU based on the original episode.  *THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!*

This story was meant to be posted at Christmas but i didn't because i had a lot of stories here already.   I was told folks still wanted to read it so here it is.

The seventh part of Ask and You Shall Get series. Brian shows Justin a new kink, by showing him how arousing it is to have a full bladder. BDSM themed. Can be read as a stand-alone.

The name 'Nathan Ash' was only one piece of the damaged puzzle that made up his life.

Brian asks Justin to be his date at an exclusive dinner club that gives awards for the best looking couple.

The sixth part of Ask and You Shall Get series. Brian takes Justin to a private party. They both learn the importance of communication in their new relationship. BDSM themed. Can be read as a stand-alone.

Warning!!!!! This fic involves major character death. It's sad. Death is a reality in this fic. There are no "oh, it's all a dream" reversions at the end.

That said, from my perspective, it's still got kind of a happy ending. Or at least a ridiculously romantic one. *g*

Christmas in the Justin!Rage universe.  Lindsay tries to keep Brian and Gus apart at Christmas. Justin isn't having that.

Will make more sense if you've read the other two stories first.

The first of the Justin!Rage stories. An AU in which Brian and Justin meet later, and in a different way.

Brian and Justin meet by accident on a snowy New Year’s Eve. Written in the slapstick humor of the 60s. Think Rock Hudson and Doris Day…
