Hello folks. Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if Brian had used his considerable intelligence and grown up a lot sooner after Justin left him that final time before the explosion at Babylon woke him up? What if it didn't take something quite so drastic? Here is my version of Brian and his journey back to Justin. I hope you will enjoy it. I owe a debt of gratitude to my beautiful Granddaughter, Marika, whose banner inspired me to this story. Thank you also to Judy for her amazing work as my beta. Let's pick things up with the aftermath of that famous scene when Michael told Brian off when he came drunkenly to Ben and Michael's house to confront them over taking Justin in, shall we?

Damn! I can't believe that it is time to celebrate my Fifth Anniversary of the day I posted my very first fanfic story. It is really true that time flies when you are having fun. LOL! Well folks, as is my custom I have written a new story to share with my beloved readers who have made these five years so special to me. I hope you will enjoy it.
For this story, I decided to answer (in my version) the question that was never fully explored on the series. We all presume that the bombing of Babylon was caused by people who hated the protesters of the Prop 14 bill. The show never actually followed through with an investigation into the bombing. I have come up with my own theory, and the fact that Brian is re-opening the club will bring the truth out. Oh, and while we're at it, the re-opening will also be slightly different than what the show presented. In my version, a certain special someone also attends much to Brian's delight. One guess as to who I'm talking about.

Justin has been back from New York for a week and in that time the "family" just wouldn't leave him and Brian alone to enjoy their reunion. There have been countless calls demanding Brian produce Sunshine, unannounced visits and several walk-ins performed by Michael, of course.
On one such evening, as Brian and Justin are in the middle of foreplay, Michael barges in and without regard to what he interrupted demands that they join him and the guys for a night out at Woody's. When Emmett suggests a "couple's pool game," Brian and Justin have to decide if the stakes are too high -- Freedom from Family vs. Learning to Share. Who will win the Tawdry Tournament?

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

There comes a moment of seemingly cruel realization, a moment in which you come into ownership of a parenthetical knowledge about your identity. It should pale in comparison to your diagnosis. But it doesn't; it supercedes it. Runs past all the cautionary information relayed to you by physicians and counselors and rushes to the finish line. It's an insidious understanding that you are now not only Positive - you are Appositive. Your identity will forevermore be placed into brackets, qualified and added to and amended. If only within yourself. No longer are you John. You are now, John +. - Benjamin Bruckner, R-U-1-2 *
