What if Justin didn't run off to New York after Brian's loft got burgled? What happens when he decides to face the situation like an adult? Join us on the journey to find out.

What kind of friends would grownup Justin have? A little Sam Auerbach story. 

In my head this would be set around 2010. Justin would be about 27 and Sam would be in his late 50s. 

On the night of Brian's proposal at the country manor, Justin learns a surprising truth. Exactly why did Brian change so dramatically after the bombing? Something very strange, and cracky, this way comes, folks. Not really an ounce of angst in sight. Leans heavily on "Britin" dialogue from the show, with a twist.

This is dedicated to Tagsit, since her new story Earth Boys are Easy got this weird little bunny - which was cranked out in a couple of hours! eek - running around in my head.    

Deb overhears. Deb blabs. Sunshine goes Super Nova. 

Let's pretend Brian was more open with Justin about the cancer and the Divina Devore arc never happened. Screwing with the timeline a bit. 

A snippet.

The genesis of Brian and Justin's steamy celebration of the time change. It all began in New York...    

The title says it all.  AU Canon

What if Brian wasn't so stubborn about expressing his feelings in a tough time when Ethan came along?

Justin will remember his 18th birthday for a very long time - Brian made sure of it. Food play and smut, strawberries and whipped cream. No angst, only hotness.

To catch your attention, a little quote: Every time I thought I couldn't take it any longer, he would stop for a second or two to give me time to catch my breath and compose myself. And then he would come back to exploring every inch of my skin with his skilled mouth and tongue, leaving traces of a burning fire on my body, then cooling them down by blowing slightly on my wet skin, then setting me on fire again. It must have lasted an eternity.

Post-episode 220, " the breakup," Justin's POV. Justin retrieves his belongings from the loft after he leaves the Rage party with Ethan. He then returns to Ethan's apartment where the two begin the odyssey of their relationship. Justin meets someone who will change his life forever. It is becoming clear that Justin is still thinking of Brian and wondering if he has made the right choice. Justin returns to the diner to discuss his situation with Debbie while she serves him a free breakfast. Later, he's invited to meet with a fan of his work. At her request, he reluctantly parts with a piece of himself. Justin regrets giving the drawing away and tries to recreate it, but is unsuccessful. Trying to clear his mind, Justin goes for a walk, only to run into a dancer from Babylon. Andre is only too happy to recount what has happened to Brian since Justin has left him. Justin and Ethan's relationship is already beginning to show strain. Despite the feared repercussions, Justin asks for the return of his drawing. The reaction is not what he was expecting. Instead, he learns about her philosophy of the artistic process... and of her opinion of Ethan. Justin returns to Ethan only to find that his jealous lover is determined to wipe Brian out of Justin's memory by destroying Justin's prize. Justin leaves... perhaps forever.

A little switch from the original series.

**It was originally stated Gus wasn't yet born. That has changed due to a plot point.
