There's more than meets the eye when it comes to Brian's ever-present food rule, "no carbs after seven."

In Aftershock, we see how Justin's bashing at the end of Season One affected Brian. It ended without revealing how the bashing affected everyone else who loved and cared about Justin. The series skipped from that iconic scene of Brian sitting in the hospital right after Justin was admitted to a month later at the beginning of Season Two, so we have to use our imagination about what went on at the hospital after Michael joined Brian. I hope you will find my perspective interesting.
Many thanks to my beta, Judy, for her help and my darling Granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner. And also thanks to those who asked me 'what about the others' when they read 'Aftershock'. Their questions led to this sequel.

The first time Debbie Novotny heard about Brian Kinney, Michael was in the eighth grade. It was just after spring break. He’d come home from school chattering away excitedly about the new boy in his class who’d just moved to Pittsburgh from some town she couldn’t remember. All through dinner it was Brian this, and Brian that. Michael was clearly enamored with this Brian kid.

One of our readers made a request for stories that involved the immediate aftermath of that tragic bashing of our beloved Justin and how Brian responded to it. I believe it inspired a lot of our writers, including myself. I do hope you will find this story interesting, although I can't say it will be a lot of fun, considering the subject matter. Please keep in mind how things did turn out for the couple later on as you reach the end of this story and don't be too sad.
I want to thank Gloria Hernon for her brilliant suggestion. I also wish to thank my beloved Judy for her beta skills and my beloved granddaughter, Marika, for her amazing banner.

AU after Season 4. The year Justin turns 23, he and Brian get the news that over the next year he's going to gradually lose all of his hearing. The series tracks the next years of their life as they manage their new reality, after-effects of the bashing, their eventual move to New York, and their ever-evolving relationship. Told in first-person chapters from their points of view and some outsiders, with some angst, a lot of hurt/comfort, and loads of humor. Never any big relationship drama, always disability-positive, and no one ever takes themselves too seriously.

He could tell Michael that he loved him. Always had, always will. Brian wasn’t sure why saying “I love you” to Michael was so easy -- why it was different. Why the words flowed off his tongue with Michael but felt stuck in his throat with Justin.

This is a song fic inspired by Lifehouse's song "Yesterday's Son." It's gap filler, and a peek inside Brian Kinney's head through several key story arcs in the course of the show's five seasons.

Folks, those of you who know me know that I am an incurable romantic. I originally wrote this story while being inspired by the wedding of Prince William and Catherine. The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan reminded me of the story and I decided it was time to post it here too. I hope you will enjoy this little bit of fluff and fantasy as much as I enjoyed imagining it. Sorry that I never got the chance to have someone make a banner for me for this one.

Way back in October I wanted to post this story to KD but circumstances prevented me from doing so. I loved writing this story and I've grown impatient waiting for Halloween to arrive again, so I've decided to go ahead and post it now. Consider it a late Halloween or early Halloween gift. LOL! Anyway, for this Halloween story I thought I would skip a few generations and see what happens to Brian's Great-Grandson when he decides to buy the old building that once housed the Babylon Club in order to revive it, bringing it back to its once magnificent Dance Club Glory! But Wait!!! Could the place really be haunted? And if so, what spirits are lingering there and what do they want? Let's find out? Many thanks to my terrific beta, Judy for her last minute help with my story, and also to my Granddaughter for the very cool banner. Enjoy!

Brian is missing Justin far too much after sending him away to NYC. He decides to sit down and put his thoughts on paper and then sends the letter to his lover in order to make clear how he is feeling. Justin responds with a letter of his own that makes just as clear how he feels about Brian's letter.
The idea for this story came to me when I was watching the scene where Brian was emphasizing his 'no apologies, no regrets' theory of life. Mind you, I realize it is stretching the imagination a little in this day and age for anyone to write a letter longhand and send it through the postal service when we have the internet and cells, but I hope you will suspend disbelief in this case.

For a change of pace, I decided to center a story around our favorite Mother, Debbie, and her beloved Brother, Vic. In this story, Vic has passed away and Debbie is devastated. While trying to deal with her loss, her mind travels back in time and relives the memories of her life with Vic, centering on that special Summer that she became pregnant for the one and only time in her life. I hope you will enjoy my version of Debbie's interesting life. The beta work is thanks to the wonderful Becky and the perfect banner by the fantastic Eka.

This story is based on the words of the old Peter, Paul, and Mary song, 'Some Walls'. In the story, Brian reflects back on the walls he had built up around his heart as he takes that final step in tearing the walls down when he proposes one last time to the man he loves and receives the answer he was looking for.
