AU past the pilot. Brian and Justin go their separate ways after their first night together, both thinking that that was it for them.

This is a holiday story that was written for a True Queer Love fanfic challenge. I had to wait until the voting was over and winners announced before I could post on other sites. Finally I can present it to my friends and readers here. I hope you will enjoy it.

This is a what if version of that period of time at the end of Season 3 and beginning of Season 4 when Justin has gone to Hollywood to help in the making of the movie, "Rage" . What if Brian couldn't take the separation from his lover any longer, especially with a New Year about to start? What would Brian do about it? I owe a great debt of gratitude to my friend, Judy for her beta help and my Granddaughter, Marika for the banner. Hugs, Grammy

What would happen if Brian had told Justin about the cancer? AU.

Thank you to foreverbm on LJ for the banner!

(Previous comments by the author)

A/N: I realize that Thanksgiving holiday is pretty much over, but this story idea came to me DURING Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's, so as soon as I got home I got to writing and spent the rest of the weekend working on it. Couldn't help it, sue me! Since it's still technically the Thanksgiving weekend, I decided to go ahead and post it. Let me know what you think. Now, for the summary...

Summary: Justin's stuck in Europe during a natural disaster (nothing terrible happens, I promise) and is doing his best to find his way home for their first Thanksgiving back together, while Brian is at home doing everything he can to help his Sunshine give the best Thanksgiving dinner their family and friends have ever had.

Brian needs to go back to the beginning if he wants to have a future with Justin.

Author's Note: Canon up to Justin's refusal of Brian's first marriage proposal in 511, then all bets are off. Some angst but no real warnings.

Featured story for March 2013

After 513 Brian and Justin keep things going long distance for almost a year. Then one fateful night, at a family gathering at Deb's, a comment made by someone in the family throws everyone and everything into a tailspin. After a horrible argument the boys split up for good, severing all ties, and the family is forever fractured. Twelve years later, a 17 year old Gus finds photographs of Brian and Justin together and goes on a quest to find out what happened between the two in the hope of mending the ties that bind them all together. Enter various beloved characters from the original show that tell him their sides of the story.

No I didn't just write this... I've had it for a while... and while I guess we're not supposed to post RPS's here... they have a category, so what the hell. 

This is a one-shot, stand-alone RPS about Gale and Randy and I how I see their relationship taking place, if it were real and happened. 

No offense is meant to any actor or person... I love them all to death, they are amazing people with outstanding talent and this is my honoring what I hope is real. 

The way 513 could have ended. Brian's POV. 

Brian/Justin smut. Definitely rated NC-18 for content and language.

This is the 1st story in this series. How Do I Love Thee... Let Me Counth the Balloons is the sequel. 

And a huge thanks to my wonderful banner designer (who also has great stories... go read them) Jackie Mag. :D

Brian has been known to throw his friends off that now famous cliff, always with the best of intentions, but leaving the other party with absolitely no control in the matter. As much as I LOVE Brian, I thought perhaps he should feel the pain of being pushed off that cliff, with all the angst and heartache that accompanies the leap.

Song fic. On the way to the airport to go to New York, Justin realizes something.

Even as ghosts, all Brian and Justin want to do is fuck. Sadly, fate seems to disagree with this idea...

Justin is an ice skater for Toy Story 3 on Ice. Brian is hired for the advertisement. What will happen when they meet? VERY OOC (Brian and Craig) (If you don’t like Brian or Craig OOC then don’t read this cause you won’t like it. And, don’t kill me if you don’t like it.)

What if Craig had reported Brian to the police in 107.

Paternity is relative depending upon how much trouble one gets into at the time.

On the eve of their wedding, Justin makes a shocking discovery that will change Brian's life forever.

You hear stories, sometimes. You hear about people getting glimpses of apparitions out of the corner of their eye. You hear about unexplainable occurrences, and cold spots, and flashes of things that just can't be there. Well, that's how it starts, anyway.

Hello folks. Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if Brian had used his considerable intelligence and grown up a lot sooner after Justin left him that final time before the explosion at Babylon woke him up? What if it didn't take something quite so drastic? Here is my version of Brian and his journey back to Justin. I hope you will enjoy it. I owe a debt of gratitude to my beautiful Granddaughter, Marika, whose banner inspired me to this story. Thank you also to Judy for her amazing work as my beta. Let's pick things up with the aftermath of that famous scene when Michael told Brian off when he came drunkenly to Ben and Michael's house to confront them over taking Justin in, shall we?

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

NEWEST CHAPTER REVISED 

Season 4. Brian discovers he has cancer and decides to end his relationship with Justin before his partner finds out the truth.

Angry and hurt, Justin is quickly distracted by the discovery of having a very young brother (Craig's other son) with autism. This is the story of Justin growing up, taking charge, taking legal guardianship of his brother, Kai... and what happens when he finds out the truth about Brian.

Thank you, Fran, for the beautiful banner!!

Basically, this is an extended "What If" about Hunter moving in with Justin when he leaves Michael and Ben's and when Justin leaves Brian. Most of the story is probably going to be told from Hunter's point of view, although parts will also be from Justin's. Emmett will also play into the mix as a kind of friend/mentor figure.

I'm pretty sure all the original readers have abadoned this story, but my goal is to finish this summer!

A reviewer suggested the title, and I wanted to say thank you. "A gay couple who one is HIV+ and the other HIV - are called a magetic couple in the gay world. Like a positive and negative magnet."-JT Secrets

Story Summary: Brian tries to deal with issues of his past and how they are affecting his life now.

***Open Letter to Readers Posted!*

Spoilers: A chapter(s) reference to when Justin le** him for Ethan and other events throughout the series.

Out-of-Canon/What-If: In this story, Brian's father knew Brian was gay when Brian was in high school (if not before).  In later chapters, I may need him to be alive to have a confrontation with Brian, so for now I'll say he is not explicitly dead.

Brian and Emmett reminisce about the good 'ole days. Made for quin222 for the scrooged Secret Santa LiveJournal community.

for richer or poorer til death do us part. What happens after Ethan proposes marriage to Justin at the Rage party.

Unbettaed for now sorry

Title from the song of the same name by David Archuleta

Hello, my dear friends and readers. Well now, I'm finally settled in my new and wonderful home (even if everything isn't put up yet ) and I'm ready to get back to work. My muse has had a nice vacation but I've politely asked her to restart her engines and get me fired up. The first thought that came to mind was a moving day for our beloved boys in tribute to what I'd just gone through. I'm sorry I have no banner to accompany the story but Amy, my Granddaughter, has been swamped with last minute school work, the move, and her volunteer work at her Mom's place of employment. She said she'd get one done this weekend but I couldn't wait to post the story. I hope you will forgive me. I am hard at work on updating my ongoing stories now and will concentrate on them until I've made up for making you wait so patiently. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and understanding as I worked to improve the lives of my girls and myself. I hope you will enjoy my little story. It's a little tame but the love is always there.  Now on with the story... Brian and Justin change their minds about their future (a guy has the right to change his mind too) and moving day has finally arrived as they start out their new life together.

 This story is dedicated to both Judy and Anita who suggested to me that the lyrics from this song would fit perfectly in a B/J story.  I agree and I hope you will enjoy it too.  The setting is right after Brian proposes to Justin and is turned down.  This is a What if? story so I've changed Brian's response to the rejection.  I want to acknowledge the wonderful lyrics of the song which belong entirely to the lyricist Jerry Herman.  I also want to thank my dear friend, Pat for her beta skills and my Granddaughter, Amy for the breathtaking banner.
