Justin left a ranting Cody behind in Hobbs' driveway, once he decides he's gotten his revenge on the cowardly man who bashed him.  He returns to Brian, and they celebrate the end of that frightening chapter of Justin's life.  But is it really the end?  What if it didn't go the way it had in the series?  Thank you to Becky for her wonderful beta work and Eka for the perfect banner.

I would like to offer you a solution to the mishap (of course this is a matter of opinion) that the producers of QAF called Season 5. This is my version of what caused the Season. It is a What If. I hope you will enjoy it. I promise the ending will be nothing like our last scene during the actual show. 

I wish to thank my dear friend, Judy for her beta skills, and my dear Granddaughter, Amy for the lovely banner.

I still can't believe this is my life. Two days ago I was the stud of Liberty Avenue and a successful adman, today... today I am a father. I still recall the words he whispered in my ear that night, as we all sat in Lindsay's hospital room: "You deserve to be loved Brian. Don't let anyone make you think you can't, don't let them win. Show them they are wrong"

I've dedicated all my life to show Saint Joan, Jack and every homophobe out there that underestimating me was a mistake. I became a successful businessman, being the head of the advertising department in Ryder's Advertising. I had the money, the looks, the gang and everyone wanted me... but I was still hallow.

I've proved them all wrong in everything, but one thing. I ended up believing their words, that I was unwanted, that no one will ever love me, that I was not desired, that I should have been aborted.

However, all that changed two days ago. When, I met a fallen angel under a streetlight, no matter how lesbian I sounded, to me that was true. Looking so innocent and pure, he was just asking for me to pick him up. I don't normally go for blonds, but I wanted to be in that world- that world of light- at least for a night.

Brian doesn’t do romance, or does he?

After the first night, Brian didn't take Justin to meet Gus, and Justin didn't show back up but went on with his life.  They meet again when Justin is Jenny's pediatrician.

Lorie you are amazing and thank you for all the work you do everytime I send you things.

Brian sums up his competition as he offers him a part in a commercial…

Brian and Justin had a drunken weekend of debauchery and both ended up pregnant with daughters, but only found out too late to do anything about it. Fourteen years later fate and the Avenue conspire to bring them back together.

Love my wonderful betas...Kathy, Nichelle, Bea and Brandi xxx

It's a different twist on how B/J met and the differences that follow. It's interesting how just one little change impacts the rest... -samcdee

On that fateful night when Justin stood under the lamppost and Brian took him home, what would have happened to them if events had not unfolded the way they did on the show?

Brian dreams of Justin…

Mystic is a small village near the ocean, which makes it the perfect romantic getaway. Justin takes Brian on a holiday where they have an appointment with a couple therapist to rekindle the fire. Brian is all against it. Justin is at the end of his patience. Their marriage is in shambles. Their therapist does his best to salvage their relationship and remind them all the reasons they fell in love with each other.

AU, Sci-fi. 14-year-old Justin starts at a public school. He mets a boy...kind of. It's a what-if story I guess. What if what happened to Brian in high school wasn't exactly what he said it was. 

A pivotal scene between Justin and Brian early in season five plays out differently, changing their relationship.
