Justin volunteers as a test subject for a new company that purports to be able to find your soulmate for you via an implant that measures biometric responses occurring during interactions with potential mates.

What kind of friends would grownup Justin have? A little Sam Auerbach story. 

In my head this would be set around 2010. Justin would be about 27 and Sam would be in his late 50s. 

Justin will remember his 18th birthday for a very long time - Brian made sure of it. Food play and smut, strawberries and whipped cream. No angst, only hotness.

To catch your attention, a little quote: Every time I thought I couldn't take it any longer, he would stop for a second or two to give me time to catch my breath and compose myself. And then he would come back to exploring every inch of my skin with his skilled mouth and tongue, leaving traces of a burning fire on my body, then cooling them down by blowing slightly on my wet skin, then setting me on fire again. It must have lasted an eternity.

Brian Kinney is a playwright who has become accomplished in his chosen profession. When an elderly man places a stopwatch in his hand, along with an impassioned entreaty, Brian’s life is forever altered. What begins as a curious look into the past, turns into an obsessive journey to connect his life to the man that quickly begins to capture his every thought. Can these two find each other across the barriers of time?

Brian is a Sultan who rules over a small island located within the United Arab Emirates. He is respected and feared by all that fall under his reign. When business takes him to America, he discovers a prize he’s determined to collect. How will Justin respond to this new, and sometimes savage world?

"Can you really think of a reason that Peter would suddenly turn on how he feels about you?" Justin asked, trying to begin the conversation pragmatically. "He knows how your sister is, and she knows, at least to some extent, that the two of you are acquainted now. Don'tyou think she'd have tried every weapon she had if she was running a smear campaign against you?"

"I don't know," Brian said tiredly, rubbing his eyes. "I wouldn't put anything past her."

When Brian's nephew Peter and his girlfriend Alexis come to spend Christmas in New York, things are off to a great start -- until they're not. Soon, it becomes apparent to everyone that old Kinney family scars run deep.

Why did Brian leave the loft door open at the end of 3.04? Was it an invitation or did Brian innately sense something special was about to happen? Let's find out...    

Happy Holidays everyone.  I have an early Christmas gift for you, and I hope you will enjoy it.  This story is set a little over ten years after Justin headed off for New York City, leaving Pittsburgh behind.  It seems that his plan didn't last long, and a decade later he is happily married to Brian.  The only fly in the ointment of their happiness is how much Brian misses seeing his son, Gus far more often than the occasional visits back and forth to Canada.  Justin's dearest wish is to arrange for Brian to receive the best Christmas gift ever, and he is willing to do whatever he can to make that happen

Hello, my dear readers.  Today, I have something brand new for you.  Before anything else, I want to dedicate this story to one of my dearest readers and friend, Vicki, for entrusting me with her plot bunny for this story.  I couldn't have done it without her support.  Also a big thank you to Judy, my fantastic beta, and Marika, my talented banner maker.

Now, as to this story, this is for all you animal lovers out there.  What happens when Brian becomes the 'somewhat' reluctant (yet willing) rescuer of a pair of brutally abandoned dogs?  How will this one act of kindness change his life and that of his beloved husband and son?

P.S.  I've chosen Irish Setters in this case as a tribute to Vicki, a proud Irish lassie.

Sometimes you have to be willing to stand in the light for people to really see who you are.
