Alternate Universe, Hustler!Justin, John!Brian

"Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." - Dalai Lama

Because sometimes you get exactly what you never knew you needed.

Thanks to Cheryl for editing.

Brian never saw this one coming.

This story is my entry for a fanfic contest.  The only requirement was that the story include a novel, a phone, a hat, and a bottle of mineral water.  I racked my brain how to come up with a story that included those four items and I couldn't get the beaches of Ibiza off my mind.  Hope you enjoy where my imagination led me.  Basically, the story is simply a fun diversion for our intrepid lovers set after the end of Season Five.  The banner is by my wonderful banner maker, Eka, and I have no beta this time around so please forgive any mistakes. 

Justin gets the best Valentine's Day surprise ever.

Debbie runs an escort service which Justin calls to get an escort to his sister's wedding, that escort is Brian.

A very warm-hearted thank you to Predec2, who made this amazing banner !!!

Thank you so much !!!

Happily living their lives together with both success, fame and with children around them, Brian and Justin Kinney were in their own words 'living the life of great homosexuals', when a car accident changes their lives.

Now, they are back to the beginning where Brian, the ultimate asshole ad executive, and Justin, the blonde twink stalker. did not meet each other yet. This is the story of what these partners will do to make sure that they really have 'no regrets' in their lives and to avoid the mistakes they made in the way. 

Inspired by 'One More Time' by The WinsomeWasp

Set during Season 3, after Brian and Justin’s reunion but before Brian is fired from Vanguard. Brian takes Justin on a trip to make amends.

Sometimes love comes into your life when you least expect it.

Brian has to repair the cracks in his marriage and with his children, when Michael needs him after Ben dies.

Lorie once again thank you for the work you do as my beta. 

This is a story based on the words of the Clay Aiken song 'Solitaire'.  It is strictly in Brian's POV as he remembers all the events that happened in Season Three from the moment Justin left him for the Fiddler to the moment he got Justin back into his arms, where he belonged.  I owe a debt of gratitude to Eka for the beautiful banner and Pat for her beta skills.

When Gus turned six years old, he changed his name.

After the first night, Brian didn't take Justin to meet Gus, and Justin didn't show back up but went on with his life.  They meet again when Justin is Jenny's pediatrician.

Lorie you are amazing and thank you for all the work you do everytime I send you things.

Brian is a former model turned photographer and Justin wants to get into modeling.
