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.

When Justin is in a plane crash, Brian races to the scene.

Finally did it...my very first crossover story, and my QAF muse has come back home too.  So I hope you'll enjoy this new story.  For those who love Spartacus (and especially Agron and Nasir) you'll know them well.  This story is set during the revolt of the slaves of Rome between 73 B.C. and 71 B.C.  I have done my best to be as accurate to true history as I can, but the story is based on the way history is told by the Starz series, 'Spartacus'.  I've changed Brian and Justin's names slightly to fit what was used in that time period.  All the names I've used for characters are accurate according to my research.  At the beginning none of the four men have met and spent any time together.  I promise you, that will change quite quickly.  The Agron/Nasir part of the story is more canon, while the Brian (Brion)/Justin (Justinus) part of the story is certainly AU. I hope you will enjoy the blending of these two magnificent couples.

A special note of thanks to my darling Granddaughter, Amy for the banner.  A very special thanks to my beta, Judy...plus I wish to dedicate this story to her.  Her support and friendship has been invaluable in getting me back on track in writing stories.

Michael and Lindsay are as usual up to no good, and end up in therapy. Somehow so do the rest of the Gang.

Thank you Lorie for helping me turn this into more than an idea when I wanted to delete it.

Brian and Justin begin their married life together with the help and interference of the family.

Story #11 of The Sunshine Files

This is a beautifully written story set in 1944, featuring Brian and Justin as gay soldiers in WWII serving in occupied France. One of my favorite stories from this amazing author - Lorie

It is the Winter of 1944 in occupied France. The allies have landed and slowly, so slowly, made their attempt to push to the borders of Germany. Sergeant Brian Kinney is too busy trying to keep his men alive and do his duty to worry about anything else, much less a personal life. Everything changes one day when one of his men, recently killed in an ambush, is replaced with a raw new recruit, Private Justin Taylor. The kid looks like he's barely out of High School and totally wet behind the ears. The Sarge is not happy, especially when without warning Sergeant Kinney finds himself fighting a different kind of war than the one on the battlefield.

I am dedicating this story to my late father who served bravely and honorably in WWII and the Vietnam War. I am also dedicating this story to all the GLBT men and women who also served with honor, but in silence throughout history. Many thanks go to the amazing Eka for her brilliant banner and to my friend Pat for her beta skills. 

I was watching 'So You Think You Can Dance' when a performance was given to the song 'Somebody That I Used to Know'.  Bingo!!!  Another inspiration for a Brian/Justin love story.  Amazing how it keeps happening.  LOL!  Anyway, this is not a songfic.  Only the title inspired me.  This is a What If? story.  It begins with...What if Brian got the job in New York City that was offered just before the end of Season One and left Pittsburgh behind.  The story moves forward to five years later.  Justin has moved to NYC after graduating from PIFA and after a year in the City, he runs into Brian at a fine restaurant.  What happens then?

I want to thank my dear Granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner and my dear friend, Judy for her wonderful beta skills.  I hope you will enjoy their reunion as much as I enjoyed envisioning it.  Warmest hugs, Grammy

Egypt in the 1920's. Tourism is up thanks to the discovery of King Tut's tomb and the Taylor family decide to spend their holiday there. It is a decision they will regret when their newly graduated son, Justin, is kidnapped by bandits. Will the handsome American businessman, Brian Kinney, be the one to come to the young man's rescue and how will it change both their lives? A huge thank you to Eka for the perfect banner and Pat for doing beta for me.

What a difference a year makes in the lives of the Kinney-Andersons and their friends.

Story #8 of The Sunshine Files

Brian and John take their partners on a vacation to South America to follow the path of the artist Kinney and Patrick.

Story #5 of  The Sunshine Files

It's Christmas Eve and Gus is visiting Brian and Justin at Britin. What happens when Brian and Justin surprise Santa, setting off a chain of events that will affect their future and that of their little family?

(This story is complete and will be fully posted over the next few days.)

Justin is torn between Brian's offer to move into the loft with him, and Brett's offer of a job in L.A. After Brian encourages him to accept the job, Justin heads out to California but it isn't quite what he was expecting. His life with Brian back in Pittsburgh is equally complicated, and Justin needs to figure out what is really important to him before he can move forward with his life. Or, the one in which Justin is full of angst and confusion, Mikey is a mildly annoying but good friend whose criticisms are more valid than anyone wants to admit, Daphne and Ben are awesome, and Brian is, well, Brian.
