This is a mix of “The Millionaire Matchmaker”, and a twisted version of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” As Brian approaches thirty-five, and sees all his friends happily married and starting families, he wonders if he’s missing out on something.

Gus’s emotions run close to the surface as he remembers his father.

When same sex marriages are legalized in Pennsylvania, Michael and Ben decide to tie the knot again. Their Best Men are Justin and Brian. The catch? They haven't talked to each other for almost ten years, since Justin's departure to New York City. Can they find love again? ONE SHOT

After successfully taking down Stockwell, Brian fails to bring his dream business, Kinnetik, to life. Instead, he has to come to terms with failure and rely on his partner. Can his renewed relationship with Justin handle the change? How will he handle hitting rock bottom?

Brian struggles to accept what his life has become, enduring the impossible, finally resolving himself to the inevitable reality of his situation…

This is a six-part series. I’ll be posting one chapter per day from Oct 27th to Nov 1st…

The bombing at Babylon left Brian devastated, feeling a profound sense of loss and a deep retrospect on his life…

Brian’s poor choices for his pain management cause some mistakes that can’t be undone. Yet, somewhere along the way in his drunken state of mind, he actually gets it right…

Distance makes it hard to keep their relationship alive. At least until they decide to stop stalling and finally commit to one another…

After a series of accidents Brian finds himself hospitalized, with memory problems…

A short, fluff-filled one-shot about Brian's reaction to his first white hairs.

The wedding is on!

Justin was viciously bashed and severely injured. First his life was in danger and now his sanity is. He feels like he can trust nothing and no one. He's drowning in grief over his lost future and besieged by nightmares. He needs someone to talk to - someone with nothing to lose if he tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Somehow someway, he'll find his way back to Brian, but no journey that's worth taking follows a straight path. Canon, but happy canon! Yay!

Brian realizes that Justin doesn't have enough room for him in his new life in L.A. He just needs to figure out how to accept that.

Damn!  I can't believe that it is time to celebrate my Fifth Anniversary of the day I posted my very first fanfic story.  It is really true that time flies when you are having fun.  LOL!  Well folks, as is my custom I have written a new story to share with my beloved readers who have made these five years so special to me.  I hope you will enjoy it.

For this story, I decided to answer (in my version) the question that was never fully explored on the series.  We all presume that the bombing of Babylon was caused by people who hated the protesters of the Prop 14 bill.  The show never actually followed through with an investigation into the bombing.  I have come up with my own theory, and the fact that Brian is re-opening the club will bring the truth out.  Oh, and while we're at it, the re-opening will also be slightly different than what the show presented.  In my version, a certain special someone also attends much to Brian's delight.  One guess as to who I'm talking about.  

When Justin's nightmares return, Ethan can't help him and decides to involve Brian in fixing his boyfriend. His plan backfires at him. Set in Season 3 – with a twist. Justin leaves Ethan faster than in the show. Story donated to Fandom4Soldiers.

Brian and Justin attend the White Party…

It only took a moment of clarity for it all to fall into place. He finally realized that his life was about to change, he was ready to do what it took to make him see how much he loved him.

**Featured Story for November 2014**

(Previous comments by the author)

A/N: I realize that Thanksgiving holiday is pretty much over, but this story idea came to me DURING Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's, so as soon as I got home I got to writing and spent the rest of the weekend working on it. Couldn't help it, sue me! Since it's still technically the Thanksgiving weekend, I decided to go ahead and post it. Let me know what you think. Now, for the summary...

Summary: Justin's stuck in Europe during a natural disaster (nothing terrible happens, I promise) and is doing his best to find his way home for their first Thanksgiving back together, while Brian is at home doing everything he can to help his Sunshine give the best Thanksgiving dinner their family and friends have ever had.

Through the suffering and loss of his best friend, Brian finally grows and changes…

Emmett saw Justin with Ethan, not Mikey. They have a chat.

Thanks so much to pannkakan for what has to be the awesomest banner in the entire world!!
(it's seriously hypnotic)

No mate, male or female, has ever survived the birth of a child that's half vampire half human if they remained human. The child never survives either. So, when Justin, a human mate of Brian Kinney, becomes pregnant, survives it, and so does their child, one would think life would be happy and loving after the birth right? Wrong.

Rated R to be safe! I don't know how this story will go rating wise so I'm just gonna say R to be safe and I'll change it if I need to.

Justin comes home... but to which house? That is the question...

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.

It's been a month since the family got Justin back. A lot has changed during that time. Justin's still healing both physically and mentally from his ordeal. His brand is getting worse and Brian's worried. Can Brian find away to help Justin... Or will he lose him forever this time. Sorry if the summary isn't good! Rated R to be safe!!

Series of one-shots that ensure Justin doesn't end up with Ethan.

New chapters will be added, but I can't promise how often it'll happen. Any requests are welcome.

fEATURED STORY FOR AUGUST 2013

Fic starts at end of Queer as Folk 307, and continuous with a different way 308 could have happened.

Brian and Justin enjoy a secret side to their relationship….

Featured story for March 2013

After 513 Brian and Justin keep things going long distance for almost a year. Then one fateful night, at a family gathering at Deb's, a comment made by someone in the family throws everyone and everything into a tailspin. After a horrible argument the boys split up for good, severing all ties, and the family is forever fractured. Twelve years later, a 17 year old Gus finds photographs of Brian and Justin together and goes on a quest to find out what happened between the two in the hope of mending the ties that bind them all together. Enter various beloved characters from the original show that tell him their sides of the story.

~*~*~*~

SET TWO MONTHS AFTER THE CAMPAIGN: Stockwell has lost the campaign and his wife decided to leave after finding out he had something to do with Jason Kemp's death. He's pissed he's lost everything and blames Brian for it. He plans revenge and comes up with the perfect way to get it.... Justin. Waiting for the right time, he takes Justin from the diner and gives Brian two months, the same amount of time it took for him to lose everything, to find Justin. Everyday he's not found Stockwell tortures him. Stockwell leaves the family clues every Friday to help them find him. Can Brian find Justin in time.... Or will he, like Stockwell, lose everything? WARNING: THE TORTURE SCENES AREN'T GRAPHIC BUT HIS WOUNDS DISCRIPTIONS ARE. ALSO THERE'S A LOT OF SWEARING. RATED R TO BE SAFE!!

What if, after their first encounter, Brian unintentionally linked himself to Justin? With a baby on the way, Brian Kinney needs to take up responsibility for his actions and become a full-time Daddy. Mpreg. AU. Brian/Justin.

Thank you again to my beta, amythesw :)

Thank you to foreverbm on LJ for the banner!

AU: Brian loses a game of pool and, subsequently, a bet, but gains more than he imagined.

What if Sunshine had gotten some balls in episode 304 instead of waiting until episode 308?

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

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.

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.  

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?

~*~*~*~*~

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...

Brian has a secret - the one thing he wants most in the world.

Thank you to foreverbm on LJ for the banner!

In the series, Brian and Justin meet in Pittsburgh and they both have New York dreams at one point or another.  What if they never met and didn't connect for the first time until they were in New York?  Would the passion and romance still be there?  This is that AU story.  Brian is slightly OOC because he's getting to the point in his life where he sees the value of having someone special.

THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE.  Enjoy!

What would happen if Brian had told Justin about the cancer? AU.

Thank you to foreverbm on LJ for the banner!

Brian receives his cancer diagnosis and undergoes treatment. How will this affect him and Justin?

Chapter 30:  Brian completes his homework assignments with Justin.

*finally posted...* *hangs head in shame*

: 

This is a holiday story that was written for a True Queer Love fanfic challenge. I had to wait until the voting was over and winners announced before I could post on other sites. Finally I can present it to my friends and readers here. I hope you will enjoy it.

This is a what if version of that period of time at the end of Season 3 and beginning of Season 4 when Justin has gone to Hollywood to help in the making of the movie, "Rage" . What if Brian couldn't take the separation from his lover any longer, especially with a New Year about to start? What would Brian do about it? I owe a great debt of gratitude to my friend, Judy for her beta help and my Granddaughter, Marika for the banner. Hugs, Grammy

Sometimes things happen that shouldn't, and change everything. What if Justin wasn't so lucky at the party in 214?

What would have happened if Justin HAD gone away to Dartmouth for college?  How would his life and Brian’s have changed?  There are a lot of men to meet in school … and what about the special guy that Justin brings home?  AU story.

Post Ep 408 Au - What Could Have Been...Short One-Shot

Justin has just learned that his partner of 4 years cheated on him. Brian then enters his life to consol him.

Brian has been known to throw his friends off that now famous cliff, always with the best of intentions, but leaving the other party with absolitely no control in the matter. As much as I LOVE Brian, I thought perhaps he should feel the pain of being pushed off that cliff, with all the angst and heartache that accompanies the leap.

Any original characters and plot alone are mine. My stories are written for entertainment only, so that we can continue to hold dear all that these beloved characters have to offer us, and more. Enjoy.

17-year-old Brian lives by a different philosophy (one stemming from growing up around prostitutes), but just as strictly as canon!Brian: He wants a boyfriend, true love, and romance, but no Hallmarky bullshit. He wants something real. That something real turns out to be 29-year-old Justin, a prolific artist he encounters one fateful night in an alley on Liberty Avenue.

Thanks so much to pannkakan for the banner!

The way 513 could have ended. Brian's POV. 

Brian/Justin smut. Definitely rated NC-18 for content and language.

This is the 1st story in this series. How Do I Love Thee... Let Me Counth the Balloons is the sequel. 

And a huge thanks to my wonderful banner designer (who also has great stories... go read them) Jackie Mag. :D

Song fic. On the way to the airport to go to New York, Justin realizes something.

A rewrite of the last few minutes of 5.13. the ending sucked and this is my version of it.

NEWEST CHAPTER REVISED 

Season 4. Brian discovers he has cancer and decides to end his relationship with Justin before his partner finds out the truth.

Angry and hurt, Justin is quickly distracted by the discovery of having a very young brother (Craig's other son) with autism. This is the story of Justin growing up, taking charge, taking legal guardianship of his brother, Kai... and what happens when he finds out the truth about Brian.

Thank you, Fran, for the beautiful banner!!

Justin is an ice skater for Toy Story 3 on Ice. Brian is hired for the advertisement. What will happen when they meet? VERY OOC (Brian and Craig) (If you don’t like Brian or Craig OOC then don’t read this cause you won’t like it. And, don’t kill me if you don’t like it.)

A Story of the events leading up the wedding of the century!

Justin is 3 years old when his parents die in a car crash. Debbie adopts him after finding out about the crash on the news. When he first gets to Debbie's house, Michael thinks he's weird cause he's so quiet and keeps to himself so much. They eventually become close and he also becomes close with Brian. Enjoy! :D
