Summary: This is the sequel to Captivated. A year has passed since Brian, aka King Brahim has married his former captive, Justin. Still very much in love with his husband, yet bound by the duties of his rule, how will he respond when what he loves most seeks to abandon their life together? Will Brian accept that this is an act of selfless love or will he view it as the ultimate betrayal?

STORY IS NOW COMPLETE!

We are returning to the Universe of a Father’s Hate.  Everyone had been told Justin had died from the bashing and Craig had hid him away for two years. Brian and Molly, working together, found and rescued him. Justin and Brian are now married and living in Britin with Gus and Aaron. Aaron is their adopted son who is actually Justin’s half brother.  Along with the help of Ronni, and her son James, along with Emmet, they have built a busy but rewarding household. But then Justin gets a phone call that will upend the peaceful home they have built. 

Summary: Brian and Justin have a glorious second night when something unforeseen happens.

This story is on an indefinite hiatus.

In Aftershock, we see how Justin's bashing at the end of Season One affected Brian. It ended without revealing how the bashing affected everyone else who loved and cared about Justin. The series skipped from that iconic scene of Brian sitting in the hospital right after Justin was admitted to a month later at the beginning of Season Two, so we have to use our imagination about what went on at the hospital after Michael joined Brian. I hope you will find my perspective interesting.

Many thanks to my beta, Judy, for her help and my darling Granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner. And also thanks to those who asked me 'what about the others' when they read 'Aftershock'. Their questions led to this sequel.

What would have been different if someone had gotten their wish?

Based on a bunny from Deb Tanner - the giver of story ideas.

Sometimes love comes into your life when you least expect it.

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?

This is really just a one shot but I'm leaving it open if I want to add anything. If anyone has a one shot they wanted tell me and I'll try to write it between other things

Lorie thanks for taking time to beta my strange ideas at two in the morning.

Three part story.

I am a sucker for "Brian in Peril" stories and this is one of the best I've read. The author does a great job dissecting Brian's complex mind. Phenomenal writing, interesting premise, and a satisfying ending. Can't ask for much more! -charming1

After Justin leaves for New York, the remaining members of the Liberty Avenue family go about their everyday lives, never suspecting that something serious is happening to Brian. When the realization hits, they find that everyone's lives are irrevocably altered.
