Everything was perfect.
Brian and I were finally together in New York, making both of our dreams come true. I was working from a spacious, comfortable studio in SoHo, and the first show of my return to the city was scheduled for the following weekend. Brian was out with a real estate broker, looking at potential office spaces for the soon-to-be New York expansion of Kinnetik. We had wedding rings on our fingers, having finally tied the knot a few years before, in front of all of our family and friends in Pittsburgh.
Our lives were full of new and exciting opportunities, both professionally and personally. I felt like everything was falling into place in a nice, neat, orderly fashion, one piece after another.
Then, I had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And the puzzle that was my life -- so carefully and painstakingly assembled over the years -- was picked up and thrown to the ground, scattering the pieces everywhere.
And everything wasn’t so perfect anymore.

Happy Valentine's to one and all of our beloved QAF family. I was listening to some of my favorite old rock & roll songs a few weeks ago and when the Sam Cooke song, 'Cupid' came on, this story was suddenly born in my head. I hope you will enjoy this little trip into a fantasy world as Cupid tells the assembled gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus all about his greatest challenge while doing his job. I owe a great deal of gratitude to my darling granddaughter, Marika, for the lovely banner and my talented beta, Judy, for her terrific skills. Hope you all have nothing but love on Valentine's Day and all year round.

Another QAF fractured fairy tale!
This time we're bastardizing....uhhh I mean this is a rough version of The Shoemaker and the Elves.
Kind of a what if story....what if things didn't go so well starting up Kinnetic? Keeping with the rules and to avoid the whole nasty statutory rape thing let's just say Justin is 18.
Another fairy tale from my warped brain! Enjoy!!!

–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.â€

Happy Holidays everyone. I have an early Christmas gift for you, and I hope you will enjoy it. This story is set a little over ten years after Justin headed off for New York City, leaving Pittsburgh behind. It seems that his plan didn't last long, and a decade later he is happily married to Brian. The only fly in the ointment of their happiness is how much Brian misses seeing his son, Gus far more often than the occasional visits back and forth to Canada. Justin's dearest wish is to arrange for Brian to receive the best Christmas gift ever, and he is willing to do whatever he can to make that happen

This is the final story in the Double Trouble Trilogy. It picks up about 6 years after 'Graduation' ends. JR is happily married to husband Noah and pregnant with her first child... the first Grandchild for Brian and Justin. Gus is also happily married to husband Jason. This couple wants nothing more than to also make Brian and Justin Grandparents, but it has not been as easy for them. Then, out of nowhere, someone from Gus and JR's Canadian past comes back into their lives and may be the solution that Gus and Jason have been praying for.
I wish to thank once again the lovely Nikki for her wonderful banner, and my dear friend, Judy, for her terrific beta skills.

Hello, my dear readers. Today, I have something brand new for you. Before anything else, I want to dedicate this story to one of my dearest readers and friend, Vicki, for entrusting me with her plot bunny for this story. I couldn't have done it without her support. Also a big thank you to Judy, my fantastic beta, and Marika, my talented banner maker.
Now, as to this story, this is for all you animal lovers out there. What happens when Brian becomes the 'somewhat' reluctant (yet willing) rescuer of a pair of brutally abandoned dogs? How will this one act of kindness change his life and that of his beloved husband and son?
P.S. I've chosen Irish Setters in this case as a tribute to Vicki, a proud Irish lassie.
