This was a plot bunny that was posted several months ago by Tatiana Rita Rampin. I am sure it wasn’t exactly what she had in mind but it is what my imagination created after thinking about it.
This story is an alternative storyline for what happened after Chris Hobbs bashed Justin during prom at the end of Season 1 and what happens when Craig Taylor gets involved.

Happy Valentine's to one and all of our beloved QAF family. I was listening to some of my favorite old rock & roll songs a few weeks ago and when the Sam Cooke song, 'Cupid' came on, this story was suddenly born in my head. I hope you will enjoy this little trip into a fantasy world as Cupid tells the assembled gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus all about his greatest challenge while doing his job. I owe a great deal of gratitude to my darling granddaughter, Marika, for the lovely banner and my talented beta, Judy, for her terrific skills. Hope you all have nothing but love on Valentine's Day and all year round.

Michael returns from Portland as a man on a mission. How is he going to respond when he finds out just how much things have changed? And will he finally figure out that it’s time to design his own life, instead of trying to plan Brian’s?
It’s decision time… and not only for Michael.
Again, a MAJOR shoutout goes to Lorie, who is helping me to endure the Committee of Whine and Coo at constant war in my head. And also to Cathy Sunderland (BritinManor) and Deb Tanner for the bunnies that is inspiring the continuation of this series. All of you ladies are AAAAaaa-MAZING!

Hello folks. I have a brand new story for you that is based on a word challenge we were given a while back I hope you will enjoy it. The words we needed to use were fire, YMCA, tattoo, hospital, sizzle, and threat. This is what I came up with. In this story, Justin is still living in NYC, but not so happily. Not only does he miss Brian, but he is not thrilled with his living situation. Then one careless accident changes everything. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my beta, Judy, for her skills. Another huge thanks to my granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner. Hugs, Grammy
