Set ten years post 513, what happens when Brian gets a familiar itch that Justin's hands are too full to scratch?

Many thanks to BritinManor for encouraging me on this project!

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

This was a plot bunny that was posted several months ago by Tatiana Rita Rampin.  I am sure it wasn’t exactly what she had in mind but it is what my imagination created after thinking about it.

This story is an alternative storyline for what happened after Chris Hobbs bashed Justin during prom at the end of Season 1 and what happens when Craig Taylor gets involved.

Everyone has been placed in charge of their own lives. As Brian and Justin begin to design theirs, Michael and Lindsay are having to deal with what they wanted... just not the way they wanted it.

Again, a special THANK YOU goes out to Lorie, who I find an AMAZING person to know. I seriously couldn't do what I do without you. Love you!

Justin returns Brian's bracelet to him (3.04) and for the first time since they split Brian catches a glimpse that Justin still wants him. Brian decides to give Justin a reminder.    

Ethan’s pursuit of Justin might have seemed like a romantic meeting of two like-minded, artistic souls, but was it really? What if there was a more sinister motive behind Brian and Justin’s breakup? Canon Divergent story starting with ep 2.16. 

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!

A HALF-INSTALLMENT and companion to "Installment One: Clash Forward". Brian and Justin share their plans with a select few of the 'Family'. Between them all they will come up with a set of New Rules that will hopefully make Brian and Justin's transition from Pittsburgh natives to California residents a bit smoother.

As always a special THANK YOU goes to Lorie, who always asks the right questions to push my creativity that much further.

**COMPLETE**

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!

Early in season two, after a row with Justin, Brian mulls over their relationship and considers what to do to keep the boy around. A subsequent conversation with Debbie, which goes a little differently than in canon, propels him to act immediately. Steaminess ensues.
