The family gathers in Paris for the opening of Justin's show.

Story #76 in the Sunshine Files

Brian and Justin have come a long way.  They met back on the streets of NYC.  They had a family and made lifelong friends.  They lived and nearly died together more than once but overall it was a long happy life.  The final chapter of Can’t Do Life Without You has our favorite couple enjoying their senior years with their family in their favorite place, the vineyard. (Don’t worry, Brian and Justin will be happy and healthy at the end of the story. Ch. 16)  If you choose to read the epilogue there will be a death of a Major Charactoer.

Happy Valentine's to one and all of our beloved QAF family.  I was listening to some of my favorite old rock & roll songs a few weeks ago and when the Sam Cooke song, 'Cupid' came on, this story was suddenly born in my head.  I hope you will enjoy this little trip into a fantasy world as Cupid tells the assembled gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus all about his greatest challenge while doing his job.  I owe a great deal of gratitude to my darling granddaughter, Marika, for the lovely banner and my talented beta, Judy, for her terrific skills.  Hope you all have nothing but love on Valentine's Day and all year round.

Brian and Justin are enjoying life.   They are splitting their time between Britin and their vineyard in California.  But trouble starts when Kinnetic's NYC office needs Brian's attention just as the family is ready to go back to the West Coast.  When Brian misses Gus' 20th Birthday party Justin is furious.  It takes a death in the family for Justin to realize we all make mistakes.

Brian and Justin are still madly in love. They have been married over 7 years and have been together for 18. Their children Gus and Brinn are the light of their lives but things are never easy for their family. Drama follows them from Pittsburgh to California but their love will never die.

Brian and Justin have a new baby and a loving home. Life has so much promise but will Brian be there to enjoy it.  Brian's cancer is back and Justin will be there every step of the way.

Brian has to repair the cracks in his marriage and with his children, when Michael needs him after Ben dies.

Lorie once again thank you for the work you do as my beta. 

Some changes are in store for our Sunshine Family.

Story #39 in the Sunshine Files

Here I go with my first multi-chaptered story in over 3 years.  I really hope you will enjoy it.  Some time ago someone suggested the idea of turning around the series plot involving the Prom bashing 180 degrees, and then seeing what might have happened if it was Brian who was Hobbs' victim rather than Justin.  I found the idea intriguing, so I'm going with it.  Of course there will be drama and angst, but just remember how my stories end up and take heart.  So without delay, here is the beginning of a whole new light on the love story of Brian and Justin.  

But first, of course, I must give my undying appreciation to my dear Judy for her beta help.  And a special appreciation to the very talented and thoughtful Kim for the evocative banner for my story.  I love you girls dearly.

In a world where slavery has not been completely abolished, Justin's life is not his own. AU.

It all starts when Brian ‘saves’ Justin, but Justin isn’t down a well and Brian isn’t a hero. In fact, they actually sort of hate one another after this but that doesn’t stop them from playing their own games. Neither one of them want a boyfriend but due to unstoppable forces that’s what they’ll become. Not that they’ll admit it. Brian and Justin will reach a point that they’ll have to decide to move forward together or stop ‘whatever they are doing’ and go back to life without one another. You could say that it’s a bit of a challenge.
