This is a plot bunny by Deb Tanner. I hope I can do it justice, as I feel like a duck-out-of-water here. But I love the concept.

It’s funny how life works sometimes -- in cycles, repeating the same themes in different ways with different situations. Leaving it up to us to recognize a familiar situation and call on our past experience to get through it. But sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Justin decides to make a huge transition in his career, but things are not always what they seem.

Life had changed a lot for Justin Taylor in the past year.

It’s 2017 and the Pittsburgh covens of Liberty-Pitts, ruled by King Craig and Queen Jennifer with their adopted daughter Lindsay, and Le Mont Washington, ruled by brother and sister, Lord Victor and Lady Deborah and her adopted sons Michael and Christopher, have kept a relatively low profile integrating into society. They source their blood from blood banks and no longer feeding from humans. But now the Taylors and the Grassis want to abdicate, leaving the way for their children to ascend.

One problem, neither Michael nor Lindsay are pure vamps, so would need to rule with another half-blood. The Chief Aldermen have, once more, ruled against them ascending, but now think it's time for the Kings to Rule. Enter Master Lieutenants Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor to train the spoilt children how to be rulers and vampires, without suspecting that it is them that will rule and rule together. However, one refuses to accept that Vampires can love and the other refuses to accept his Vampire side...will true love prevail?

Brian and Justin have been separated for some time.

Summary: The best night of Justin Taylor and Brian Kinney's life, even if it was ridiculously romantic, was shattered with the crack of a bat. But what will happen to the 'family' when they find out who wielded the bat?

STORY IS NOW COMPLETE. Once again, many thanks to Deb Tanner for the awesome plot bunny.

For some reason, being in Pittsburgh always got me thinking about all of the ways in which our lives had changed over the years, and all of the things that added up to make us into who we eventually became -- the version of us that has been married for close to twelve years now.

I really do have the best dad in the entire world.

I know a lot of kids say that -- and they give their dads coffee mugs and t-shirts and dorky-looking ties that say it -- but I feel like for me, it really is true.

My dad kicks more ass than any other dad I know, even though he hasn’t used his legs in almost thirteen years.

As Gus prepares for his high school graduation, he reflects back on his life so far, and his relationship with Brian.

This story fits into the "Changed" verse. Thanks to SandiD for the lovely banner!

Gus’ lips rolled inward, a carbon copy of Brian’s signature contemplative look. “I just like…” he sighed again, more heavily this time. “I just wish I could forget about this for, like, an hour or something.” 

Brian made a small noise of realization that made Justin look toward him, and as soon as he registered the intention on his husband’s face, he moved closer to Brian and hissed, “No. Brian, you can’t.” 

Brian gave Justin his most charming smile and said, “Oh, but I can!”

***

A heartbroken Gus spends a weekend in New York with Brian and Justin. In an effort to help his son, Brian turns to a tried-and-true method.

Leaning back against the leather headrest, Brian let out a shaky breath, already feeling sweaty and a little disoriented. He realized he had two choices here, both potentially impacting his dignity in a major way. As much as he wanted to try to tough it out the additional half hour, to endure whatever happened next in the comfort of a Four Seasons Hotel suite, the reality of the situation was that Lindsay and Melanie’s neighborhood was much closer. And it was absolutely inevitable that Brian's body was going to revolt sooner than later.

Well, fuck.

Brian's planned trip to Toronto to spend time with Gus is interrupted by a very-much-unplanned illness, which gives him a lot of time to think, and leads to some unexpected revelations.
