Meanwhile Brian is struggling with the realization that buying Justin stuff like flowers and taking him on a trip to Vermont doesn't mean he's selling-out to the straight world. Will Brian figure it all out before Justin slips through his fingers? Canon compliant. The story is complete and has six chapters.

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.

Note:  I am uploading the first 12 chapters again since I stupidly deleted it on accident when uploading the latest chapter.

Did her son die or not? If it wasn’t her son they buried, then where is Justin? Determined to learn the truth and if at all possible to find her son, Jennifer hires the best detective money can buy: Brian Kinney.

This story is dedicated to Deb Tanner.  She requested a story for this Plot Bunny.  Hope you like it.

Craig would never willingly go to Liberty Ave.,but he has something important to say to his son.

It's 2012, and eight years have passed since Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor have seen or talked to each other. Both men are living their own lives and are successful and happy; or so they think.

What happens when, in a bizarre turn of events and in a city far from either place the men respectively call home, the two run into each other? What happens when Brian finally admits to himself the huge mistake he made all those years ago and endeavors to get Justin back? What happens when Justin starts to question the path and the life he's chosen for himself?

Both men are very different then they were when they last saw each other; life's ups and downs have affected them to varying and shocking degrees. They're both older and arguably wiser, so will they find their way back to each other, or will they realize they're destined to always hurt each other?

Show canon through *most* of episode 5.1 before it diverges; alternating Point of View.

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.

Justin moves to the south of France to live after his partner dies in an explosion at a gas station. His paintings are a success and he’s quite successful after a year.
Someone that fits the description of Brian pays the price in full of €2000 for his ‘Love Lost’ piece, and Justin thinks nothing of it. Then Justin gets a phone call asking for a painting of a ‘Naked Guy’, which he paints Brian onto. After the ‘Naked Guy’ painting is passed onto its owner, Justin gets kidnapped – But by who?

What is there to be thankful for when life isn’t fair?

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

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?

Will Debbie see her boys reunited?

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

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?

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

Justin makes a return to Pittsburgh that no one will soon forget!

Brian is not what he seems to the outside world. He's not the successful owner of an Ad Agency called Kinnetik. He's a criminal - the leader of a secret organisation. And he's always been attracted to the innocent.

Warnings: Violence, Sexual Content.
