Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers who are celebrating the holiday. For those who don't, I still hope you have a wonderful week full of things and people to be thankful for.
For this year's annual Thanksgiving story, we move forward in time to the second year after Justin has moved to New York City. He and Brian see each other as often as they can, but it is far too seldom for either of them. When Justin is invited to spend his second Thanksgiving away from Pittsburgh with Mel, Linds, and Gus in Canada he is happy to go thinking he'll see Brian there. Brian himself crushes that dream. But will Justin find himself having more to be thankful for than he thought he would? Read on to find out. Many thanks to Judy for her beta skills and Marika for the lovely banner.

I chose this story as it is a "what if" that continues the story of Brian and Justin after Season 5. Starlight is an author that pulls you into a story by the third paragraph and takes you on a wild ride. There's angst, humor and drama that has you cheering and yelling in disgust in the same chapter. She has this writing style that keeps you wanting more every chapter she writes - mamaduck
Brian and Justin decide it's time to have kids.
