I'd somehow missed that this one was completed. Yay! But I'm gonna have to start over from the beginning. TAG

I think I'd pretty much guessed what you were hinting at, that Sap had prob sold Brains sperm for extra profit as a bad guy/sleezeball should!
Thanks for the reply, looking forward to your next story!

Wow, I'm impressed and excited!
Above all, the writing style is great and captivating. Every word sits, every emotion can be believed and seen before your eyes.
Although Brian has a completely different story with you than in QAF, you have let the fascination of him live on. This fantastic character, who finds it so difficult to live out his sensitive and fragile side, also comes across fully here.
Also "our" other darlings are like a fan wants to see them.
The fact that Brian and Justin live a "real" relationship in this story makes my heart beat faster. All the dramas were important and right in QAF. Nevertheless, I would have wished for an end to the series with the two as an obvious lovers. (Okay, they probably gave each other more love than you would imagine "traditionally". But the end was so painful!!!)
Last but not least your story is really hot. The current sex of Brian and Justin, quite clearly. But also (and here I am almost ashamed about myself) the mentions of the slave time.
A really heartfelt thank you for giving THIS to us fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response:
And I am impressed by your comment - wow! :D
I am glad that you like this story. I know it's not an easy story to read due to its storyline and I am glad for everyone who is giving it a chance anyway!
I have tried to keep most of the characters as close to what they were on the show as they could be. But since this story is complete fiction and has nothing much in common with the show, obviously that wouldn't work all the time. But whenever possible, I tried to keep it as close to the show as possible. After all we all loved the show and that's what brought us here :)
I so agree with you about the ending of the show. I didn't like and appreciate the ending one bit. This whole "lone wolf" spiel that Brian was doing had gotten old to me by that point. Especially after we had seen how much he loved Justin. He might not have been able to say it out loud until season 5, but it was obvious long before that... I agree that marriage might not have been the right thing for them at that point, but to have Brian shown as the clubboy he used to be was very disappointing for me. Yes, of course he would always go to Babylon, it was his playground, but at least Justin should have been there with him... A relationship should have been implied. That's the least that should have happened at the end of the show. But like I said, I was never much a fan of this whole "lone wolf" thing and liked the changes we saw in Brian over the seasons.
You are very welcome - I am just glad that people enjoy this story :)
More will be up later tonight!

Wow - What a start! First I want to tell you that I've had my user name changed. It used to be Bjluv, so you will be able to connect me with past reviews. I had to change it to match my user name on MW, as I wrote my first story, and I didn't think it would sit well to have the same story posted on two sites, with two different authors. I hadn't anticipated it taking me this long to finally get to reading this. I know the subject matter is a hard read, but I love your writing and wouldn't not read it. But, I have read one slave!Brian fic before, so the subject isn't quite new, but I'm afraid the 'torture' will be much worse.
I want to start by saying I read the 'song' before ever clicking on the chapter, and I could see it so vividly fitting for a slave, who has had a very bad life, and finally gets an owner who will treat him with kindness, and I'm assuming, with love.
I was surprised by the list of characters, as we have everyone present, even little Gus. I guessed by the tone of the subject, I thought they might not all make an appearance, unless of course Brian's life in Pittsburgh was the same as the original, prior to being sold. Now, after reading the chapter, I have to interject my wisdom here. I figured that the first WASP family with two daughters, was the Peterson's. Just as my guess for the second family would have been the Taylor's, but you already apprised us of that. And I'm guessing the lawyer was Melanie, just as Brian's only friend in school was Michael, and the 'loft' Justin lives in, was Brian's in canon. Loved how you are pulling everything together.
Sap and Stockwell were some really horrendous people. And Craig is his own kind of vile. I have to ask you, when you said Craig said Brian 'infested' Justin, diid you mean 'infected'?
Like I said in the beginning, the subject matter might be hard to read at times, but I really did like this first chapter, and look forward to continuing with it. It sounds like Justin had really cared for Brian at one time, and has never forgotten him, and is carrying out his promise to save him.
Thank you for this new story. I've been wondering if you were ever going to write another one. So happy to see you have.
HUGS ~ Cathy

Hi Cathy,
I am glad to see you back :) I was wondering if you would enjoy this story or would rather not read it because of its storyline, but I am glad you gave it a go :)
I love the song - it's as simple as that. And I kind of have a special connection to it as it was sung by a gay member of a boyband shortly before he was forced to come out by one of the stagehands having pictures of him and his boyfriend and threatening to sell them to the press. I used to be quite a fan of that boyband back in the days (to my embarrassment now). Even though the song had nothing to do with that (it was actually written by Andrew Lloyd Webber for his musical Whistle Down the wind), it still felt really fitting and I connected strongly with it at the time because I felt so bad for the singer then (mind you, this was 1999 and times were different then).
Yes, the list of characters. We will see a couple of familiar faces. In what capacity and how? I don't want to spoil yet. Lets just say that even though this story is an AU, I like to keep things as close to what we all love as we can, so we'll see how that will work out in this story. As for your guess that the first WASP family was the Petersons: Correct! The lawyer being Melanie would also be correct and Brian's old friend from school being Michael is also correct. And yes, Justin's loft is what would have been Brian's loft on the show. I love the Loft too much not to use it ;)
There must be a special place in hell for people like the Sap and Craig :/ And yes, "infest someone with ideas" is a common saying over here and it's a bit stronger than saying "infected". Might be a regional thing only, but over here you can hear that quite a lot...Might be a colloquialism.
Since we were already talking about me having nearly finished this new story at the end of "The Pittsburgh Years", it shouldn't have come as such a big surprise that there would be a new story from me at one point ;) But yeah, here it is :D
More will be up soon! Thanks for your lovely comment!

The first part of this was dishearening, but the ending of the chapter gives me hope.
Author's Response:
It was disheartening and unfortunately, there will be more parts like that :( We can only hope that better times are now ahead for poor Brian...
Thanks for giving this story a try even though the premise is rather bad and painful.
More will be up soon!

OMG, what a wonderful first chapter. Somehow, I just felt it was Justin and am so happy that it is. I know this is going to be a fantastic story. Can't wait for weekly updates. Happy New Year to you.

Happy New Year to you as well :)

Welcome back! It seems you just love torturing our poor sensibilities....LOL. I can’t wait to see where this goes. I will admit right up front that the cattle prod situation made me a bit squimish, I couldn’t even imagine someone going through that.
Author's Response:
Haha, yes, I like to torture my readers and myself... writing these stories is not easy, let me tell you ;) Thanks for giving it a try! I hope all the pain will be worth it in the end...
The cattle prod was supposed to make you feel exactly that way and unfortunately... it's not been the last time we've heard off it :( We can only hope that now that Brian is reunited with Justin things will get better for him!
More will be up soon :)

Going by your past 2 stories, I think we're in for a real treat with this one. Bit different, but good for that. Also, like you say, makes a change for it to be Brian that's the slave. All the ones Ive read are Justin: Missing, Gone but not forgotten, both on MW and ones by Tagsit & Julesmonster on here. Any I've missed? I quite like these rescue from slavery fics.
Thanks Hun,
Deb

I quite like these kind of stories as well (something must be wrong with me), but only remember reading two before (sorry, I am soooo bad with names) and in both Justin was the slave. And the whole time I was thinking: Okay, it works, but I can really see Brian's family selling him off for money... Since I couldn't find a story like that, I decided to write it myself ;)
More will be up soon!
