What if things didn't go exactly as they said in that final episode of the series.  What if it went a little differently and our boys enjoyed a little phone sex to ease the parting of the ways.  What if....well read on for my theory on what happened over that fateful weekend?  

Brian relives that terrible period when Justin is released from the hospital and yet can't bear to be touched by anyone.   All that changes on that fateful day when both men are healed by the touch of love. 

Brian and Justin have lived together in NYC for several years now.  Brian comes home upset one day when he finds out his newest client needs him to go on a business trip...on a slow moving train to Chicago instead of a quick flight.  Brian is even more upset that he will have to leave Justin behind, due to artistic committments, for such a long trip.  But maybe Justin has other ideas in mind.  Let's all take a journey on the Love Train.  Thanks to Eka for the beautiful banner....my first one...and Becky for helping me with her beta skills.   

Brian and his mother make some important discoveries. Gap-filler for Episode 2-09.

Brian is a busy ad exec who has just won an all gay cruise as the prize in a charity raffle. His friends convince him it is time to get away and relax a little.   Brian looks forward to a little fun but gets a lot more than he bargained for when he meets his cabin steward, a young man named Justin who is working to earn money for tuition to an art academy. 

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.

Justin breaks the rules. Gap-filler for Episode 2-08.
