Brian buys a loft, Justin likes the shower    

*This is a bit outdated now (Yay! Thank you SCOTUS!), but I wrote this as an homage to the striking down of Pennsylvania's same-sex marriage ban by the U.S. District Court. It still feels gooood! 

Set two years after 513. Melanie, Lindsay and the kids are still in Canada. Justin has returned after a year in New York and now lives at Britin with Brian. 'Rage' has broken the 'barriers' and is now popular in the mainstream comic book world. Michael and Justin have been asked to appear on a talk show (think Graham Norton) to discuss their comic book. Brian and Ben as well as Ted and Blake, and Emmett and Drew tag along with front row seats in the audience.

What if Brian had seen the fiddle fuck kissing Justin on Liberty Avenue, and how would that change their future together?

Justin dances around Brian’s heart…

There comes a moment of seemingly cruel realization, a moment in which you come into ownership of a parenthetical knowledge about your identity. It should pale in comparison to your diagnosis. But it doesn't; it supercedes it. Runs past all the cautionary information relayed to you by physicians and counselors and rushes to the finish line. It's an insidious understanding that you are now not only Positive - you are Appositive. Your identity will forevermore be placed into brackets, qualified and added to and amended. If only within yourself. No longer are you John. You are now, John +. - Benjamin Bruckner, R-U-1-2 *

Sometimes fantasy can point you to the truth.

Not a cross-over fic. 

This is a mix of “The Millionaire Matchmaker”, and a twisted version of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” As Brian approaches thirty-five, and sees all his friends happily married and starting families, he wonders if he’s missing out on something.
