***Major Character Death!***

A terrible tragedy has changed Justin's life forever, and he is now struggling to find the will to keep going.

***THE STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!***

Brian and Justin have prom at the loft

Brian finds out just how good Justin's mouth is. Set in season 1. 

Justin finds a box in Brian's closet before school while looking for his shoe. What he finds in it has him coming back after school, before Brian gets to the loft so he can have a little fun.

One of our team is gone. Please read about his passing.

I sigh and tip my chair back so I can rest my back against the wall, mostly because I want to fidget. Because I’m sitting alone in an exam room in the NewYork-Presbyterian emergency room, waiting for someone to wheel Gus back in -- and for someone to tell me what the fuck’s going on.

***

Gus is admitted to the hospital. Brian and Justin clash over the best ways to be there for him.

Justin and Brian have just announced their pregnancy to the family, much to the joy of many, and the aggravation of a few. Celebrate their ups and downs, their joys and sorrows and surprises, as they make their way through the last five months of pregnancy and their first days of being fathers.

For Justin, it was all about the ass. A series of College AU vignettes. What started out as what was supposed to be only one vignette for my Wednesday Hump Day challenge spiraled into a drabble collection of it's own.

You know that feeling when you love someone so much that sometimes you just can’t help but act a little stupid?

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?

*** STORY NOW COMPLETE ***

A hidden secret is about to tear the family apart.

This story is complete and will be updated when possible.

Brian tries to get out of spring cleaning duty but he really shouldn’t.

Using the excuse of new accounts, Brian pays Justin a surprise visit on Valentine's Day. Romance is not dead and Brian shows Justin he is capable of romantic gestures.

Does destiny choose the person, or does the person choose their destiny?

He's supposed to be just another guy. Just another notch on Brian's belt.

But Justin has other ideas; a whole other master plan that's going to shock Brian about everything he's ever known.

One thing is for sure: whichever road Brian takes, his life is never going to be the same again.

Stoned Brian, no other explanation.

***Featured Story/Series for July 2017***

Everyone thinks Brian and Justin broke up after the attack at the Prom. What happens when they find out that Justin never was out of the picture? And what have he and Brian been up to in the meantime? Some Michael bashing...

This is the first story I'm posting on this site, but this is not a new story. It is, in fact, more than a year old. I was recently invited to this site by a reader at another site and decided to post some of my stories here. So if this seems familiar, perhaps you have already read this one. ~Jules

NOTE: Here is the link to the series of stories: Betrayal

As a child I was both terrified and fascinated when I saw the Disney movie "Darby O'Gill and the Leprechaun". 

This is my take on the tale.  Shades of my fathers, forgive me.

This was written some years ago, but as it's still almost St Patrick's Day, it seemed like a good time to post it.

Justin and Brian are both teachers at a private high school. What happens when they meet a new student who is more than she appears? 

You think there's not enough Baby Purry in New York State of Mind? Here is the place where you can find more of his adventures. If you haven't read NYSoM, this might not make sense.

***Featured Story for October 2016***

He held his heart in the palm of his hand...it was messy.

A mysterious virus has infected, well just about everyone (maybe even you). The worlds full of slow talkin', slower walkin', flesh munchin' zombies. One little bite soon leaves Brian & Justin with one big problem! Can one dead heart love another? More importantly, can it overcome the desire to eat it?

Warning: Major Character UN-Death. Violent/Dark imagery.
Note: The beliefs & eating habits of the undead are neither supported nor' practiced by the author.
 A Halloween treat...or is it a trick?! No excuses, no apologies, no regrets...just braiiiiins!

Brian makes fun of Justin's blonde hair... and is going to regret it.

Ten years after leaving for New York, Justin's alone.

*This story is dedicated to my dear friends Alois and Annie-Eliza.*

Gale attends Opening Night, and ends up surprising Randy more than once…

After some thought, Justin answers the question…

Justin questions Mel and Lindsay’s attitude towards Brian’s and his parenting skills…

The many faces of Gale…

Brian and Justin haven't seen each other in ten years, but there is one person who can make that happen.

Banner (and beta) by the truly wonderful and generous such_a_steph

Justin discovers his perfect man lives in Pittsburgh and romances him.

Brian doesn't do romance, or does he?

In a sea of sheep, Brian encounters something extraordinary.

After tasting Justin's special brownies, Brian has existential questions about Nemo, which confuse even Gus. The third part of In Sickness and In Health series.

Depressed and cynical, Ely Samuels cares for his demented mother.  Driven by guilt  for his part in her financial ruin, Ely is miserable until a beautiful home health nurse reminds him not everything is black and white.  

It's a little ficlet about Debbie (and Carl) taking place in 2014. Someone on Tumblr sent me a prompt with my favorite QAF character and the word "believe" so I came up with this.

It's 2012, and eight years have passed since Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor have seen or talked to each other. Both men are living their own lives and are successful and happy; or so they think.

What happens when, in a bizarre turn of events and in a city far from either place the men respectively call home, the two run into each other? What happens when Brian finally admits to himself the huge mistake he made all those years ago and endeavors to get Justin back? What happens when Justin starts to question the path and the life he's chosen for himself?

Both men are very different then they were when they last saw each other; life's ups and downs have affected them to varying and shocking degrees. They're both older and arguably wiser, so will they find their way back to each other, or will they realize they're destined to always hurt each other?

Show canon through *most* of episode 5.1 before it diverges; alternating Point of View.

**NOW COMPLETE**

*FEATURED STORY FOR NOVEMBER, 2013*

Thanksgiving Short Story.  Brian and Justin travel to Toronto to visit Gus, but Brian has a less-than-pleasant encounter with the newest member of the Munchers' family.  Fluff/humor. 

So this is a personal challenge to myself that is inspired by something I saw on another fan-site.  Each post is five hundred words or less, not including the titles I post with each chapter :).  And they're all basically about the title, Brian Kinney's rules of marriage and why he thinks these things are necessary.  They're all Brian's POV and are rather fluffy.  Who can hate fluff though? 

This is a crossover with CSI:NY. This is also my first Queer as folk story so please be nice. Brian and Justin meet in a totally different way.

Life is not always what it seems and people are never what they appear to be.

An AU hybrid S1/S3-ish romance. Brian & Justin. Of course.

Brian has a secret past that is about to be revealed. Old demons will need to be dealt with, and new ones will emerge. How will Brian’s past affect Justin, and their future together?

Was it merely serendipity that brought Justin to that lamppost on that fateful night, or was it a preordained event? This is a tale of pain and struggle, and love and hope. Where old characters are merged with new ones and life takes some very interesting turns for the gang and especially for Brian and Justin.

Note: This story is a repost. It is the first in a series.  The sequels are 'Return to Me', and  'A Stitch in Time' 

A QAF Fractured Faerie Tale! Following the storyline of Beauty and the Beast with QAF characters inserted. A bit of a darker tale here folks! Spookiness and scary imagery inside! Reader Beware! There are no dancing dishes or talking teapots here! Rated PG 13 for now.

Thanks to the very talented artist who did the banner. I've been informed that her name on LJ is Tatjana_Yurkina. If she has a handle on here, please let me know through a review or at fanfic.net. I'm the same nic on there as well.

Thanks to Predec2 and JTSecrets who helped with technical advice on getting it posted.

Well now, I don't know about the rest of you wonderful QAFers, but the ending for Brian and Justin wasn't the only one that irritated me.  I was extremely fond of Emmett, as I know so many of you folks were too.  I wanted a happy ending for him, but we all know how it ended with his footballer, Drew Boyd.  I got to thinking that it was time for them to have their closure too, and who better than master schemer, Brian to get the ball rolling (who can forget the way Brian set up Michael at his birthday...or even better, the way he set up Ethan and Justin at the diner when they were still secret lovers).

 
So here you go...Brian Kinney becomes matchmaker for Emmett and Drew.  Will his plans succeed or fail miserably?  Let's find out.  A huge thank you to my sounding board, Lori...my beta, Judy...and my dear Amy for the banner.  Enjoy! 

Justin grew up believing that homosexuality is a sin and that it goes against nature. Brian is a cynical ad exec who only believes in fucking. Can he change Justin's mind and make him see the truth and, perhaps, in the process start believing in love?

Brian receives his cancer diagnosis and undergoes treatment. How will this affect him and Justin?

Chapter 30:  Brian completes his homework assignments with Justin.

*finally posted...* *hangs head in shame*

: 

Justin is in New York, Lindsey and Gus are in Canada, and nobody's lives are what they expected. Can Brian take all their broken dreams and make them happy again, or is it too late to go back?

Brian owns a private detective agency. Justin's an ex-cop from NYC looking for a change. Both have pasts that are about to catch up with them. What happens when their paths cross and their destinies entwine. This is an AU story with our favorite characters. I hope you enjoy, this is a new venture for me and I've no idea where it's going!

Thanks to foreverbm for the lovely banner!

Brian POV.

Brian receives a birthday present he never expected!

"Brian Kinney has a little problem. For about two months now, he has been having dreams about this 'mysterious blond twink' who he has never met before. He decided that this was his brain's way of messing with him, as the result from all the drug he been consuming for years. Just like any usual morning, where he decided to stop by the Liberty Diner for coffee and some breakfast. As soon as he got in there, he met the man of his dream.

Little does he know that, this blond twink will also bring chaos to his peaceful life style."

Special thanks to Lyss for all of her wonderful beta jobs!
