As the title says: This is it! The Wedding :)

This one will be a lot shorter than the previous fics in this universe and there will be a lot less angst. As the title says, this is about their wedding and I think we can all agree that they deserve a happy, angst-free wedding, right?!?

With Halloween approaching, the boys and girls are up to tricks, new and old. Who gets the tricks, and who gets the treats?    

This is the final story in the Double Trouble Trilogy.  It picks up about 6 years after 'Graduation' ends.  JR is happily married to husband Noah and pregnant with her first child... the first Grandchild for Brian and Justin.  Gus is also happily married to husband Jason.  This couple wants nothing more than to also make Brian and Justin Grandparents, but it has not been as easy for them.  Then, out of nowhere, someone from Gus and JR's Canadian past comes back into their lives and may be the solution that Gus and Jason have been praying for.  

I wish to thank once again the lovely Nikki for her wonderful banner, and my dear friend, Judy, for her terrific beta skills.

After being thrown on the streets by his own family, Justin accepts the first offer to get some money, even though the outcome is denigrating. He ends up as one of the dancers at Boys Peep Show. Brian is trying to escape his miserable life by visiting the very establishment Justin works in. When Brian decides to end his marriage with his best friend, he chooses to save Justin from the terrible life he has.

This story is about the journey to finding friendship, rediscovering love, reconnecting with family.

At first, no one knew what to do, and it seemed like we changed direction every few hours. Could we still go to work, as long as we kept our distance, or should we stay home? Should we stay three feet apart, or six? Should we wear masks, or were we okay to go without them?

Now, we’ve gone for almost a month hardly ever leaving the apartment, and the last time we went out for more than a quick errand was the day we helped Gus pack his things and move out of his dorm at NYU mid-semester. And I’m still not sure anyone truly knows what to do. But we’re all doing the best we can. For right now, that’s all we can do.

Brian, Justin, and Gus quarantine together in New York, trying to stay grounded amid the chaos and uncertainty.

When Brian wakes up the morning after the good bye fuck, he finds Justin having breakfast in the loft kitchen.

Don't be fooled by the reunions that followed the bombing. Karma is my middle name!

Everything is not as it seems. Lindsay has a secret and Melanie is fed up and wants a way out. Brian, Emmett, Ted, and Michael struggle with being without Deb and Vic. Justin and Brian meet without realizing it. Ben and Justin struggle with being single fathers. Blake, Drew, Justin, and Ben become closer than ever. 

Justin and Brian have just announced their pregnancy to the family, much to the joy of many, and the aggravation of a few. Celebrate their ups and downs, their joys and sorrows and surprises, as they make their way through the last five months of pregnancy and their first days of being fathers.

After Justin leaves for New York Brian makes changes in his life. Justin goes missing .

Justin is an empath who can read anyone's feelings. Or that’s what he thought until the day he ventured onto Liberty Avenue and met the most beautiful man he’d ever seen. A man who was a total blank to him. But what happens when there’s a crisis and only Justin’s empathic skills can help save the day?

STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!

SYNOPSIS:

Michael returns from Portland as a man on a mission. How is he going to respond when he finds out just how much things have changed? And will he finally figure out that it’s time to design his own life, instead of trying to plan Brian’s?

It’s decision time… and not only for Michael.

Again, a MAJOR shoutout goes to Lorie, who is helping me to endure the Committee of Whine and Coo at constant war in my head. And also to Cathy Sunderland (BritinManor) and Deb Tanner for the bunnies that is inspiring the continuation of this series. All of you ladies are AAAAaaa-MAZING!

*COMPLETE*

HAPPY READING, Y'ALL!

No one had been more shocked than Brian when Melanie, of all people, had suggested that, since she didn't really celebrate Christmas, but J.R. was heading to Pittsburgh to be with her dads, perhaps Brian and Justin would rather come to Toronto to have a more subdued celebration with Lindsay and Gus.

"Lindsay never really gets to enjoy the decorations she puts up, since we're rushing around and then traveling during this time," Mel had explained. "I just thought it would be nice if you and Justin wanted to come to our place instead… You know, let Linds and Gus go all out, and then have a nice quiet holiday at home." 

"Quiet" was all Brian needed to hear before he agreed.

Brian and Justin travel to Toronto to spend Christmas with a small part of their chosen family.
