What If Justin didn't leave with Ethan the night of the 'Rage' party after catching Brian f**king the Rage actor? What if he chose a different path instead? Many thanks to Eka for the dramatic banner.

Brian is tired of his long distance relationship with Justin and has decided to do something about it. He heads for New York City and the chance to remedy the situation. Much gratitude to Eka for the beautiful banner and Pat for being my beta.

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.

Officer Brian Kinney is a beat cop who has only one goal...becoming detective.  One night he runs into a troubled kid named Justin Taylor who is about to do something stupid, but it is later when Brian meets the kid a second time that the two begin to feel a connection.  What happens between these two disparate and yet connected souls as life throws one roadblock after another at them.  I want to offer my deepest gratitude to Amy for the perfect banner and my friend Pat for her beta skills.

In this story, Brian Kinney is an ad man who for some unknown reason is teaching a one semester class on Graphic Arts in Advertising to PIFA students.  This will be Justin's last class before graduation.  He is attracted to his new teacher, but is unable to get a response from all his flirting.  How is he ever going to get his wish and become teacher's pet? 

The other day I was watching an ad for a new animated film called 'Tangled'.  It was another version of the very old fairy tale, Rapunzel.  For some inexplicable reason I had this sudden vision of Justin locked in a tower and his own Prince Charming (Brian) coming to his rescue.  I couldn't get the image out of my head so, my friends, I simply had to write my own 'fairy' tale for our beloved boys.  I sincerely hope you will enjoy it.  I must thank my beloved Judy for her skilled beta work.    

I heard a new song called 'Black Out the Sun' by Darren Hayes on an LJ QAF fan site and immediately got the image of this all important night when Brian finally said 'I Love You' to Justin for the first time.  I was so inspired I had to re-visit that scene and give my version of Brian's thoughts that fateful evening.  I have filled in a couple of gaps from the show, such as the time between Brian's hearing the radio announcement of the bombing and his arrival at Babylon, and the short period of time when Brian was with Debbie at the hospital chapel and before he came back for Justin.  I hope you will enjoy my interpretation.  I've included the lyrics to the song (which do not belong to me, of course) so that you can understand why it affected me the way it did.  A huge debt of gratitude goes to my beloved Granddaughter for the remarkable banner she made for this story and my wonderful beta, Judy.
