The gang meets Justin's family, Michael and Lindsay are up to no good and Lindsay is also being humilated at work. FUN!

What happens when you get everything only to find out you’re lost in a world where nothing feels real anymore? Brian and Emmett rise to the top of the music charts, and find out fame wasn't the only thing they wanted. And the lengths they went to for the men they loved, are no longer a secret.

Lorie, you are the best. No matter what I send you help me make it better.

Love ya for it,

Star

Everything is not as it seems. Lindsay has a secret and Melanie is fed up and wants a way out. Brian, Emmett, Ted, and Michael struggle with being without Deb and Vic. Justin and Brian meet without realizing it. Ben and Justin struggle with being single fathers. Blake, Drew, Justin, and Ben become closer than ever. 

Four years, rich business man and artist Brian Kinney was shot and nearly killed but an angel, called Justin, saved his life, it took two years of rehab for Brian to return to almost being the Stud that he was before. But neither of them have forgotten the other; so when they are brought back together by Liberty Avenue's Mistress of Love, Marilyn, and his close friend, Emmett, sparks fly, to the delight of most of The Avenue, as well as Justin's friends Daphne and Chris.

But the thought on everyone's mind is who tried to kill Brian? Why did they do it? And just why is Michael's childhood best friend, Mercy, back in town? What is the secret she is hiding? This is a story of mysteries, justice and revenge but most of all love.

Justin and Brian never met on Liberty Avenue. Justin becomes a single father at the age of 19 and has to rely off his friends and family, meanwhile Brian fights in the battle of Lindsay wanting to play mother and Melanie wanting to play mistress. Brian, Michael, Ben, Emmett, Blake, Drew, and Ted also are dealing with the lose of Deb and Vic.

This is from Deb Tanner's plot bunny, Lindsay leaves Pittsburgh after she lied to everyone saying Brian impregnated her the old fashioned way. She meets Justin, who she never figures out is weathy but still uses to take care of Gus for her. Leaving Gus with Justin after a year. He finds out the woman he knew never existed, and the child he loves is his when he's listed as the father on the birth certificate.

Lorie, as always you inspire me with all your cheers, and Deb thank you for coming up with interesting stories, and also writing ones I love too.

Justin has a secret and has no idea how to deal with it. This takes place when the loft was robbed and instead of Justin running off to New York with Brian's credit card, he runs off to Ohio to live with his cousin. Who is his cousin?

It's hard for Brian to kick Justin out. Once he does, does he let him back in? Will he be worth the emotions and the challenges to come?

I still can't believe this is my life. Two days ago I was the stud of Liberty Avenue and a successful adman, today... today I am a father. I still recall the words he whispered in my ear that night, as we all sat in Lindsay's hospital room: "You deserve to be loved Brian. Don't let anyone make you think you can't, don't let them win. Show them they are wrong"

I've dedicated all my life to show Saint Joan, Jack and every homophobe out there that underestimating me was a mistake. I became a successful businessman, being the head of the advertising department in Ryder's Advertising. I had the money, the looks, the gang and everyone wanted me... but I was still hallow.

I've proved them all wrong in everything, but one thing. I ended up believing their words, that I was unwanted, that no one will ever love me, that I was not desired, that I should have been aborted.

However, all that changed two days ago. When, I met a fallen angel under a streetlight, no matter how lesbian I sounded, to me that was true. Looking so innocent and pure, he was just asking for me to pick him up. I don't normally go for blonds, but I wanted to be in that world- that world of light- at least for a night.

It's been a year, a year full of pain and sorrow. A year in which nothing meant anything for Brian. After losing Justin at the bombing in Babylon everything was white and black.

However... what will happen if one day suddenly everything changed? What if he had never really met Justin? Then why does he remember everything they had gone through while the rest of the gang doesn't even know who Justin is?

It's a different twist on how B/J met and the differences that follow. It's interesting how just one little change impacts the rest... -samcdee

On that fateful night when Justin stood under the lamppost and Brian took him home, what would have happened to them if events had not unfolded the way they did on the show?

This story puts such a smile on my face. It's happy, It's sad, it's beautifully written and most of all,  IT MAKES ME FEEL THINGS! -SunshineSally

Justin loses his memory after the bashing. Can Brian help him get it back?
