Carving pumpkins for Thanksgiving, who'd a thunk? Add a bison, a yellow car, some advertising genius, former tricks and way too much turkey to the mix, and you end up with a gay holiday story.    

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!

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

This story is on an indefinite hiatus.

This story picks up right where 'Aftermath' ends.  This is the third and final installment in the 'After' series of stories about the aftereffects of Justin's bashing by the despicable Chris Hobbs.  This story centers primarily on those closest to Justin and how they deal with what has happened.  It's my interpretation of what could have been going on in between scenes during the first episode of Season 2.  I hope you will enjoy it.  

My eternal gratitude to the remarkable Judy for her beta skills, and my beautiful granddaughter, Marika, for the evocative banner.  I love you both dearly.

Flashback... how did Hunter start writing books? Figure out how that happened.

Justin's life is spent alone, only being sought out for his mind, and Brian for his body. Only Justin sees past the party boy to the man Brian really is. Justin can’t relate to people or why they do things and lives a solitary life because of it. He watches Brian, only because Brian quiets the mind he can't shut off. Brian watches Justin, not understanding why he needs to know more about Justin. 

Brian may not be able to say "I love you" in words, but then again, as they say, actions speak much louder. Now if Justin can just learn to read them . . .

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?

He gets the egg from a client a month after the campaign goes multinational.    

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.
