The genesis of Brian and Justin's steamy celebration of the time change. It all began in New York...    

On Gus' seventeenth birthday, he has a conversation with his father, which makes Brian realize he's lost track of what's most important.    

I would like to offer you a solution to the mishap (of course this is a matter of opinion) that the producers of QAF called Season 5. This is my version of what caused the Season. It is a What If. I hope you will enjoy it. I promise the ending will be nothing like our last scene during the actual show. 

I wish to thank my dear friend, Judy for her beta skills, and my dear Granddaughter, Amy for the lovely banner.

Brian doesn’t do romance, or does he?

Christmas Eve at Britin Manor, where the eggnog is killer strong!

Gale and Randy after taping Larry King Live.

This is fiction. I'm not saying they are together.

Nichelle, thanks for reading and editing, you're the best.

The story is set a dozen years after that final heart-wrenching scene, when the couple parted so that Justin could move to New York City. Eventually Brian joined him, and they both thrived in their careers. Unfortunately Brian's success has slowly caused an imperceptible wedge between them with his constant absences for work. Brian, fearing that their relationship is faltering, has decided to show Justin just how important he is to him by planning a Valentine's Day vacation he will never forget.

I want to thank my beta, Judy for her invaluable help and Kim for the beautiful banner.

This story is dedicated to both Judy and Anita who suggested to me that the lyrics from this song would fit perfectly in a B/J story.  I agree and I hope you will enjoy it too.  The setting is right after Brian proposes to Justin and is turned down.  This is a What if? story so I've changed Brian's response to the rejection.  I want to acknowledge the wonderful lyrics of the song which belong entirely to the lyricist Jerry Herman.  I also want to thank my dear friend, Pat for her beta skills and my Granddaughter, Amy for the breathtaking banner.

Egypt in the 1920's. Tourism is up thanks to the discovery of King Tut's tomb and the Taylor family decide to spend their holiday there. It is a decision they will regret when their newly graduated son, Justin, is kidnapped by bandits. Will the handsome American businessman, Brian Kinney, be the one to come to the young man's rescue and how will it change both their lives? A huge thank you to Eka for the perfect banner and Pat for doing beta for me.

With a little help from their wonderful friends, Emmett and Drew build a life and family together.

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.

The bombing at Babylon left Brian devastated, feeling a profound sense of loss and a deep retrospect on his life…

I chose this particular story because of the amount of detail and depth involved. The original characters that are introduced add intrigue and charm to an already compelling tale - Jazzepoet
