Summary:

AU after Season 4. The year Justin turns 23, he and Brian get the news that over the next year he's going to gradually lose all of his hearing. The series tracks the next three years of their life as they manage their new reality, after-effects of the bashing, their eventual move to New York, and their ever-evolving relationship. Told in first-person chapters from their points of view and some outsiders, with some angst, a lot of hurt/comfort, and loads of humor. Never any big relationship drama, and no one ever takes themselves too seriously.

Justin takes up a part time job at a prison. The thought of creating art with bunch of law breakers seems scary. Justin tries to keep a bubble around himself to block out all the evil reasons why the inmates are in the prison because living in ignorant bliss is easier. But what happens when a certain handsome inmate gets fixated on him? It can’t be a good thing that someone who is capable of taking a human life, is suddenly interested in him? And what about the fact that Justin’s eyes seem to find this inmate more often than allowed when he’s in the room? And to top the cake, Justin signed a document that states he can’t have any kind of personal relationships with the inmates. Now this seriously can’t end well, can it?

Don’t you think she’d have tried every weapon she had if she was running a smear campaign against you?”

Now, we’ve gone for almost a month hardly ever leaving the apartment, and the last time we went out for more than a quick errand was the day we helped Gus pack his things and move out of his dorm at NYU mid-semester. And I’m still not sure anyone truly knows what to do. But we’re all doing the best we can. For right now, that’s all we can do.

Summary:

Brian contemplated what he wanted to say next; how personal he wanted to get. He still wasn’t sure whether or not Joan would hear a word of what he said -- she hadn’t reacted to anything thus far -- so maybe it was better to lay it all on the line. His lifelong mantra creeped back into his brain, and he scooted his chair a little closer to the bed. No apologies, no regrets.

--

Against his original plans (and, perhaps, better judgment), Brian makes his way back to Pittsburgh to see his mother one final time.

I… I didn’t know what to do with what happened before I left Pittsburgh, and I wasn’t ready to talk.” He paused, sighing. “And I don’t know how to lie to you. I haven’t for a long time, and you know that. So sometimes, it’s easier to piss you off, so you’ll leave me alone until I find enough of my remaining ball to face you -- as irrational as I know that sounds.”

“Or,” Justin said, a small smile playing on his lips, “you could say, ‘Hey Justin, I’ve got something on my mind that I’m not ready to talk about, and I need a little space.’” He gave his husband a meaningful look before continuing. “Brian, I know what you’re doing when you do it now… But what I don’t understand is why, almost two decades into our relationship, you still think the solution to anything is to push me away -- if for no reason other than it won’t fucking work.”

Brian gets some unexpected and difficult news and turns to his usual coping strategies. Justin knows better.

I was in Atlanta when I first started noticing the strange, intermittent numbness and tingling in the fingers of my right hand. I was finishing up some paperwork, and I was having a hard time holding onto the pen, though at the time I thought it was just because I couldn't feel my fingers in the way that I was used to. I knew I'd been pushing myself too hard, spending too much time working on my laptop and not enough time doing yoga, so I thought it was probably just stress. I needed a break, although I wasn't sure when I was going to get one, because I was only scheduled to have two days at home before I had to leave again to travel to Dallas.

Counting down the days until Brian’s final radiation treatment was like counting down to normalcy -- at least, as normal as their life together ever had been or could be. At the very least, it would be an end to the runaway roller coaster ride of the last six weeks. Life had been speeding through a shitload of twists and turns, dragging a breathless Justin and Brian along for the white-knuckled ride as they both struggled to make sense of the scenery flying by.

Luck of the Irish by Wren Rated: R [Reviews - 0]
Summary:

An AU which popped into my head a few years back around St. Patrick's Day when I was listening to Tommy Fleming singing Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears.  (Which turned out to be ironic, because Brian doesn't actually enter the US through Ellis Island.)  It's set in the early 1900s.  Justin is the son of a wealthy NY merchant. Brian is a poor Irish immigrant.  Only the luck of the Irish could bring them together.
