Brian and Justin meet while Brian is interviewing him for a position in his ad agency, "Exhibition". Justin is a confident recent graduate of the prestigious MFA program at CMU. He knows his boyfriend isn't "the one", but he's definitely not searching for "the one" either, and probably doesn't even believe in that stuff anyway. Brian owns Babylon, which was bombed a few years ago and he nearly lost his best friends, and all this has made him view things in life a little differently. He's happy with his life, proud of his son and proud of himself for owning two booming businesses before he's even turned forty. He's still confident, vain and is the most valued dick in Babylon. Meeting Justin, becoming friends with Justin is something that he sort of hates but has absolutely no control over. Especially because somehow, being with Justin is Brian's favorite part of the day. He'd never think or admit that though... maybe.

I thought this story was very different from anything I'd read before. Very well written and could have easily been in the show. -SunshineSally
This was written immediately after S3 ended. It's canon friendly and deals with the aftermath of Stockwell's defeat and Brian's financial situation.

Brian Kinney has rented a summer house on Fire Island for his first vacation in years. His plan is to spend the summer experiencing all the various delights - and men - this Gay Mecca has to offer. His first night there, though, he’s confronted by a hot little blond townie with an agenda who refuses to accept Brian’s rule that he doesn’t do repeats. The two men make a bet - If Justin can keep Brian amused and entertained all summer, then Brian will give him a job come fall. Little did Brian know just how determined and inventive Justin really was.

I chose this story as it is a "what if" that continues the story of Brian and Justin after Season 5. Starlight is an author that pulls you into a story by the third paragraph and takes you on a wild ride. There's angst, humor and drama that has you cheering and yelling in disgust in the same chapter. She has this writing style that keeps you wanting more every chapter she writes - mamaduck
Brian and Justin decide it's time to have kids.
