Following a tragedy on Liberty Avenue, Carl decides to open a shelter for gay youths with some help from good friends and the community.

This story is set in charming1 and Lorie's "Bittersweet Universe" and is a prequel to Bittersweet Promise. However, this can be read as a stand-alone story.

What if Brian and Justin hadn't moved so fast after the bombing? What if they had talked things over and began a more open relationship? Would Lindsay have had the same success in making them part ways? Or would they have stayed together?

Brian takes the family he made to New York to save them from the family they once believed in. Justin lives in New York and meets Brian in the park.

Lorie as always you are the greatest beta I could have ever asked for. 

Justin comes back from Vermont and finds Brian fucking a trick on 'their' bed, a punishment from the older man- who was hurt when he came to an empty loft, when he wanted to celebrate his partnership with the one he cared the most.

But Justin didn't see that, hasn't been able to read Brian since the bashing. He only sees a man that doesn't care enough about him and decides to leave him. 

Will Brian be able to get his head out of his ass to win Justin back? Or will it be too late?

No fiddler, in this story Justin never cheated.

Brian teaches Justin the art of handballing.

For more information on the experience of fisting, I found this very useful and interesting. For a spiritual take on things, I found this unexpected and absolutely fascinating. I certainly never knew the Bible endorses fisting. Go figure. Take that, Rick Santorum.

Cupid's working overtime to correct his misguided arrows.

In episode 2.12, Michael became jealous when he found out that Brian and Ben had previously hooked up at the White Party two years before. Brian offered Michael the chance to do what Michael had dreamed of for nearly seventeen years: have sex with the Great God Kinney. What if Michael had taken him up on his offer?

Follows Justin's POV during and after Episode 3.3. It turns out that Ethan was less than thrilled with the comment that Justin made to Ethan’s friend at the party and that Justin left the party without him, returning home hours later after stopping by the GLC carnival.
