Let's jump ahead about a year - fast-forward to Fall 2003.

Final installment in the Pre-Season Three series.

An AU story about what happens with Brian and Justin in between seasons 2 and 3.

References characters mentioned in the Prequels series.

This story begins where "What I Want" from The Prisoner of Tremont Street series left off.

Brian realizes he wants more than a reputation. He meets an artist in New York and finds what he was looking for.

Justin didn't grow up in Pittsburgh but New York, where he meets Brian.

None of the events in cannon that involve Justin happened to him.

Sometimes Hunter felt like he was dead, sent to some version of Hell for stealing, for tricking, for ditching school, or for just being born. But his heart beating in his chest, sometimes at a slow and steady beat, sometimes at a rapid and panicked pace...It was that alone that made him realize he wasn't in Hell after all. This city, as shitty as it was to him, was his reality.
