This story is a gap filler for the end of Episode 12 of Season 5 to the beginning of Episode 13.  Justin has accepted Brian's proposal and Brian wants to show his appreciation by treating his fiance' to a Valentine's Day he will never forget.  Many thanks to Eka for the lovely banner and Pat for her great help as my beta.  Comments are always welcome.

Summary: Romance, Brian Kinney Style.

Two different stories, joined by a common thread.

This is a what if version of that period of time at the end of Season 3 and beginning of Season 4 when Justin has gone to Hollywood to help in the making of the movie, "Rage" . What if Brian couldn't take the separation from his lover any longer, especially with a New Year about to start? What would Brian do about it? I owe a great debt of gratitude to my friend, Judy for her beta help and my Granddaughter, Marika for the banner. Hugs, Grammy   

Did you ever wish you could go back in time and change just one thing you’d done - just one - thinking that you could change your whole life for the better? Well, Brian Kinney did. He was sure that all his problems stemmed from that first time he broke his first rule about sex - never let a trick stay the whole night. If he had never let Justin Taylor insinuate himself into his life, he would still be the top Stud of Liberty Avenue, free from the heartache and headaches of a relationship, with his friendships and family intact. At least that was what Brian was thinking the night after Justin left him and went to live with the stepford fags, Michael & Ben. But, every action has some direct or indirect consequence and Brian may not necessarily like the results that he gets when he wishes he could go back in time and change his life. This story begins after Episode 5.07 but flashes back to episode 1.02 & 1.03.

What if 217 had played out differently. Just think of all the heartache that could have been avoided.

AU, Sci-fi. 14-year-old Justin starts at a public school. He mets a boy...kind of. It's a what-if story I guess. What if what happened to Brian in high school wasn't exactly what he said it was. 

A little fic to the Bruno Mars Song “When I Was Your Man”

This is a oneshot. Justin goes to Wonderland. 

Brian and Justin have been married for nearly a decade and are the proud fathers of a beautiful daughter.  When someone from their past reappears, they must balance protection with forgiveness.

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

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

Brian finds Justin under a streetlamp, but something about the kid is special: he's a shifter, just like Brian.
