Hello, everyone. Today is special to me. It marks the 7th Anniversary of the very first time I wrote and posted a fanfic story. As has become my custom, I wanted to give you something special to thank all my wonderful readers for their loyalty and support of my work over the years.
A little over a year ago, my muse abandoned me for a while and my work trickled down to almost nothing. Then another couple entered my life and my muse returned full force. To show my appreciation to both couples that inspire my work, I've chosen to write a little something about all 4 of my favorite men.
Rather than writing a story, per se, I've chosen a different format. I decided to interview Brian, Justin, Agron, and Nasir. I had only one important question to ask of each of them. Why do you love the man in your life? Thankfully all 4 men came to me and took time to answer the question in depth. I hope you will enjoy their interviews.
Huge thanks and gratitude go out to Judy, my wonderful beta, and Amy, my beautiful banner maker.

Okay my friends, I have something brand new and hot and delicious for your viewing pleasure. If this doesn't send you to the cold showers...I give up.
I hope you will enjoy this story that was inspired by my weekend watching of an old movie called 'The Full Monty'. I want to thank Judy from my heart for her great beta skills and my darling Amy for the shiny banner. On top of that I just want to dedicate this to a few ladies who have supported and honored me with their readership for so very long and then turned into personal friends that I am truly grateful for. This one is especially for you Lori, Jacky, Sunny, Judy, Gerri, and Becky.

I spent my weekend listening to songs, and one in particular...Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' inspired this story. A line from the song mentions the scars of your love and ends with 'We could have had it all'. Like with so many other songs, I ended up thinking of Brian and Justin. In this story, Justin has been in NYC for a year and become a great success in the artistic community. The only problem is, he misses Brian too much to enjoy all the accolades. He decides to send Brian a message and hopes to get the response he is praying for. Will he? I must thank Judy for her Beta skills and my darling Granddaughter, Marika, for providing the perfect banner to tell the story. I love you guys dearly.

I heard a new song called 'Black Out the Sun' by Darren Hayes on an LJ QAF fan site and immediately got the image of this all important night when Brian finally said 'I Love You' to Justin for the first time. I was so inspired I had to re-visit that scene and give my version of Brian's thoughts that fateful evening. I have filled in a couple of gaps from the show, such as the time between Brian's hearing the radio announcement of the bombing and his arrival at Babylon, and the short period of time when Brian was with Debbie at the hospital chapel and before he came back for Justin. I hope you will enjoy my interpretation. I've included the lyrics to the song (which do not belong to me, of course) so that you can understand why it affected me the way it did. A huge debt of gratitude goes to my beloved Granddaughter for the remarkable banner she made for this story and my wonderful beta, Judy.

This is a songfic that was inspired by a wonderful video made by Steph on YouTube so I am dedicating this story to her. She used the song and I couldn't get the image of Brian and Justin as they parted in that final scene of the series when Brian and Justin went their separate ways out of my head. This is how the words of the Whitney Houston song affected me. I hope you will enjoy it. Huge thanks to Eka for the perfect banner for this story and to Pat for her beta skills. Comments are always welcome. Grammy

I heard this song on a television program one night and couldn't stop thinking how it fit Brian and Justin to a tee. I figured if I wrote out a story based on the lyrics, I could get the song to go away. I hope you will enjoy where my mind wandered. The wonderful banner is by Eka, of course, and beta help came from my friend Pat. Thank you to both of them. And thank you to the wonderful lyricist who provided such beautiful words for the song. Comments are always welcome. Grammy
