This is Brian's journey roughly two years after the end of the series. He and Justin have been living in New York City where he has just opened a new branch for Kinnetik. He knows he is going to have to make some major changes in is life and deal with a past that has haunted and shaped the man he knows he is. He is finally ready to face his demons and become the man he wants to be.
This story has many of the old gang we love and lots of new characters too.
Please be warned: There are scenes of violence, drama, angst, mental illness, drug use, non-consent, rape, Brian and Justin with other characters, addiction, discussion of Brian and Lindsay's past, Brian and Cynthia's past, hetero sex, Brian in a brief sexual interlude with a woman for non sexual reasons.
If any of this is a trigger for you, please don't read. If you like your QAF to be strictly canon, this is not for you.

Five years have passed. Justin's turned 27, Brian just going on 39. What if Justin wasn’t the success he’d hoped to be in New York? What will he find when he returns home destitute, his hopes dashed? Has Michael managed to realize his fondest dream? Can Brian and Justin overcome the mistakes made during the intervening years?
Note: Though this may seem like a Brian/Michael pairing, it is not. Michael is not nice and does hurt at least two characters.
