Thanks to Liberty Sun/Marny for the fantastic banner!"
A novel length re-telling of the Little Mermaid,w/QAF characters inserted. WARNING! This is not the Disney version rather an homage to the superior work of Hans Christian Anderson. There is both a sad and happy ending. To keep the sad ending do not read Dawn of a New Day. Although to date, I don't think anyone has done that. If you are still with me, ENJOY!!! Reviews, good and bad are always welcome
I consider this my best work to date.
Orginally updated and finished, May 7, 2011
UPDATE: Dec./2024 : I was re-reading the story and making minor edits when I realized I'd left out an entire chapter on this site. Added Chapter 6 Part 3 The Second Dinner (just before: Interlude: In the Midnight Hour.) Story is now complete.

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.

I am a sucker for "Brian in Peril" stories and this is one of the best I've read. The author does a great job dissecting Brian's complex mind. Phenomenal writing, interesting premise, and a satisfying ending. Can't ask for much more! -charming1
