This story is the result of the request by a wonderful reader of mine named Lorie. It begins in 2005. Justin is a young man in NYC who makes his living as the writer of gay porn and adult fiction. He has bigger goals for himself. He dreams of publishing the great American gay romance novel, but he has little to base it on. Justin does not do relationships and has little trust of others due to a painful childhood. Brian Kinney is the owner of his own ad agency which has taken on Justin's publishing house as a new client. What will happen when Brian and Justin meet eventually...two lost souls afraid of commitment. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my Granddaughter, Amy, for the banner and my friend Pat for beta help. I also want to thank Lorie for trusting me with her idea. So enjoy and remember that comments are always welcome.

The setting is 7 months after Justin moves to New York City. He and Brian still think of themselves as a couple, but Brian's businesses and Justin's insistence on paying his own way (even for a visit back home) has kept the couple apart. Justin spends all his time painting. Daphne comes for a visit, and seeing her friend's condition, insists on taking him out for some fun. A visit to a local gay bar provides a huge surprise, as Justin unexectedly wins a vacation for two at a beautiful cove resort in British Columbia. Will he get Brian to be his companion, and what other surprise awaits Justin during his Summer holiday?
Huge gratitude to my wonderful beta, Judy, and my Granddaughter, Amy, for my banner.

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.

I chose this story as it is a "what if" that continues the story of Brian and Justin after Season 5. Starlight is an author that pulls you into a story by the third paragraph and takes you on a wild ride. There's angst, humor and drama that has you cheering and yelling in disgust in the same chapter. She has this writing style that keeps you wanting more every chapter she writes - mamaduck
Brian and Justin decide it's time to have kids.

Justin is torn between Brian's offer to move into the loft with him, and Brett's offer of a job in L.A. After Brian encourages him to accept the job, Justin heads out to California but it isn't quite what he was expecting. His life with Brian back in Pittsburgh is equally complicated, and Justin needs to figure out what is really important to him before he can move forward with his life. Or, the one in which Justin is full of angst and confusion, Mikey is a mildly annoying but good friend whose criticisms are more valid than anyone wants to admit, Daphne and Ben are awesome, and Brian is, well, Brian.
