This was why he didn’t do boyfriends. He didn’t do love. He didn’t do commitment. Because when you do boyfriends...love...commitment...you let yourself get attached. When you do boyfriends, you hope and pray they won’t ever leave you. Because if they do, you’ll feel like your soul has been torn out and you have nothing left to live for.

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

This is a song fic based on Lifehouse's "Flight." It takes place shortly after the series finale.

It was the second fic I wrote for the QAF fandom in July 2018.

AU: Brian has a nightly visitor and he just can't make any sense of it.

This is loosely based on the short movie "Betrothed" starring Gale Harold.

Fourteen years post season five.

Brian and Justin parted years ago but have remained friends. Joan’s sudden reappearance in Brian’s life, however, is going to affect their relationship in a way neither of them could have predicted.

Discovering his destiny being pre-determined before his birth, Justin attempts to flee when faced with the reality. How will the primitive King Brian (Bruhier Safar) respond to what belongs to him rebelling against what fate has decreed?

***STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!***

An annoyed Brian is a good Brian.

Michael gets on Brian's bad side, but is he the only one to blame for?

My take on the title 'The Photo'.

Brian and Justin have been together for seventeen years, well, more or less: seventeen years have passed since the night of their meeting, the one in which Gus, the son of Brian and his friend Lindsey, was born and since then they have been on and off regularly.

Gus, however, is willing to do anything for his relationship to be as smooth as silk, but he has just moved to Pitsburgh and the only thing he is sure of is that life is a mess and this, in essence, is the only thing on which father and son agree.

Brian and Justin attend a high school/boarding school for young criminals. This generally means everyone there did something to piss off their parents and got their butts thrown into this school. 17-year-old Brian’s a new student, 16-year-old Justin’s been attending for a while now. How will they ever survive?

THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE

Brian was offered the job in New York in Season 1. He set up an apartment, planning for Justin to move there after Graduation and attend art school, but only telling Jennifer and Daphne their plans. Meanwhile, Michael moved to Portland with David, but when their relationship goes south, Michael takes off to NY with plans to move in with Brian and prove they were meant to be together. Canon until S1, Ep 21.

The story is complete and will be updated weekly.

Thank you Kim... Predec 2...for creating this lovely banner for me.  

While Justin is in Hollywood working on Rage the Movie, he meets someone who will rock his and Brian's world.

Justin and a reluctant Brian celebrate the holidays; Brian makes a surprising decision.

A glimpse of our "boys" on just another weekend in the Pitts... or is it???

This is the story of what happened in Pittsburgh during the five years that Justin spent in New York working on his career. What was life like for Brian, the Liberty Avenue family and Gus and Luke?

In Aftershock, we see how Justin's bashing at the end of Season One affected Brian. It ended without revealing how the bashing affected everyone else who loved and cared about Justin. The series skipped from that iconic scene of Brian sitting in the hospital right after Justin was admitted, to a month later at the beginning of Season Two, so we have to use our imagination about what went on at the hospital after Michael joined Brian. I hope you will find my perspective interesting.

Many thanks to my beta, Judy, for her help and my darling Granddaughter, Marika, for her evocative banner. And also thanks to those who asked me 'what about the others' when they read 'Aftershock'. Their questions led to this sequel.
