I chose this story because it is not your typical Brian and Justin story. Also it deals with a subject that is very important to me. I lost a friend due to the lack of a donor -Lorie

Life has always been a constant struggle for eighteen year-old Justin Taylor, until one fateful day at the diner when he meets the man known as the Stud of Liberty Avenue, Brian Kinney. Both of their lives are changed forever in a way that neither of them ever anticipated.

Justin has only one allergy

Ted's a bona fide financial wizard, but what other talents is he hiding? Brian and Justin are about to find out just what lengths he'll go to, to get them back together...  

When Brian Kinney was fired from Ryder's advertising agency after being accused of sexual harassment, he never would have imagined becoming an escort. However, learning that his son was seriously sick wasn't part of his plans either.

One year later, he meets Justin Taylor, an artist who was attacked at his prom and suffered serious injuries. What happens when their worlds collide?

Now that Brian has a way to contact Justin, he'll do whatever it takes to win his Sunshine back.

But what happens when our favorite teenager tries to move on from the stud of Liberty Avenue?

Will Brian be able to win him over in time?

Or lose him forever?

Justin comes back from Vermont and finds Brian fucking a trick on 'their' bed, a punishment from the older man- who was hurt when he came to an empty loft, when he wanted to celebrate his partnership with the one he cared the most.

But Justin didn't see that, hasn't been able to read Brian since the bashing. He only sees a man that doesn't care enough about him and decides to leave him. 

Will Brian be able to get his head out of his ass to win Justin back? Or will it be too late?

No fiddler, in this story Justin never cheated.

This story is a true piss you off, make you cry, all emotion, encompassing tale that will leave you satisfied by the end. -Jazzepoet   

As we know from the show, Brian promises Justin a week-long vacation in Vermont but instead ends up going to Chicago to win the Brown Athletics account and save his job. Feeling hurt and betrayed, Justin goes snowboarding at Sugarbush Resort without his "boyfriend." Fuck him! But then Brian shows up in the middle of the night and their griping eventually leads to seriously hot make-up sex. Unfortunately, Brian's condoms are not designed to accommodate an impressive cock like Justin's. Breakage is all but inevitable. What happens when it actually occurs? (Considering the fact that the tags say "mpreg," I'm willing to guess that Brian gets pregnant.)

Also, can Brian snowboard without lessons?? What about give birth? Read and find out.

Believe it or not, despite being an mpreg fic, this story is not schmoopy (at all), and Brian and Justin are not OoC. Go, me!

Nightmares and recovery.

This is fiction. I'm not saying they are together.

Nichelle, thanks for reading and editing, you're the best.
