Story Notes:

This fic was written in 2005.  It was the very first QAF fic I wrote.  Please accommodate for the time that has passed as there may be items that seem out of date.  This is an AU - Brian and Justin do not meet in the traditional way, but all else is in Canon. Assume post-513.

This story is complete - updates will be posted regularly.

1. Chapter 1 - PIT - LGA by Netlagd [Reviews - 7] half-star (1796 words)

2. LGA - PIT February 26 by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2678 words)

Guess who shows up on the return trip home...

3. CFS Chapter 3: Back in the Pitts 3/30 by Netlagd [Reviews - 3] half-star (604 words)

Looking back on this, this chapter should have been the end of chapter 2. When I started writing chapter 3 (which is now chapter 4) I realized that it didn't really belong in that chapter either. However, I really like this scene, and it has a few key plot points that are necessary in setting up further chapters. Sorry it's so short but I'm posting Chapter 4 as well.

4. CFS: Chapter 4 - Family Ties 4/30 by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2992 words)

5. CFS: Chapter 5: Art Show by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2920 words)

6. CFS: Chapter 6: Dinner at Debs by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2780 words)

I was having a bit of trouble getting the flow on this. It's a bridge to the next few chapters, a bit long, but necessary to the plot.

7. CFS: Chapter 7: PIT - LGA March 3 by Netlagd [Reviews - 3] half-star (1131 words)

A bit short - but so is the flight!

 

So I’ll post chapter 8 as well.

Author's Notes:

 

The Pittsburgh Real Estate Market is heating up

10. CFS: Chapter 10: Let the Music Set You Free by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (3208 words)

11. CFS: Chapter 11: PIT - LGA March 10 by Netlagd [Reviews - 3] half-star (2875 words)

12. CFS: Chapter 12: Snowstorm LGA March 11 by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (5197 words)

Baby, it's cold outside

13. CFS: Chapter 13: Relatively Close by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (4643 words)

Back home things are getting relatively interesting...

14. CFS: Chapter 14: It's Just Dinner by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (3865 words)

... there's always room for dessert


 


 

15. CFS: Chapter 15: Afterglow and Late Night Thoughts by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2024 words)

Sorry so short - this is actually a bridge to the next chapter.  It started out as the next chapter, but it became obvious it should be a chapter unto itself. Enjoy!


 


I'll post another chapter tomorrow.

16. CFS: Chapter 16: Beware the Ides of March by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (6873 words)

Author's Notes:

 

Some days the world conspires against you.

Sorry if it seems a bit anti-michael - he brings it on himself, he's just whiney.

This chapter is a bit longer than the last installment - hope you enjoy it.

17. CFS: Chapter 17: Brian Doesn't Do Relationships by Netlagd [Reviews - 5] half-star (4356 words)

Times can be a little rocky when having dinner with the family.

 

I must admit I had a lot of fun writing this chapter - perhaps it was because I had the ending, but somehow had to get the story to it. I may be dating myself a bit here - just an old fag hag, I guess... by far it is my favorite - up to this point.

18. CFS: Chapter 18: Brian Doesn't Do Boyfriends by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (3510 words)

A bit of the quiet after the storm.

 

The boys try to figure things out.

19. CFS: Chapter 19: In Brian's Arms by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2613 words)

Away from the family, Brian and Justin explore their, um, non-relationship.

and because Tag asked for it...

20. CFS: Chapter 20: Mother Taylor by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (1933 words)

Justin and Brian each come to terms with Jennifer.


 


 


I've had some feedback suggesting I supply the definition for the word "sybaritic" The Oxford English Dictionary Thesaurus defines the term as: sybaritic - luxurious, extravagent, lavish, self-indulgent, pleasure-seeking, sensual, voluptuous, headonistic, epicurian, lotus-eating, libertine, debauched, decadent Knowing our boys, that's exactly what they like!


 

21. CFS: Chapter 21: Interlude by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (4012 words)

Author's Notes:

 

Brian questions the pull that Justin has on him, but can't stay away from his blond.

22. CFS: Chapter 22: Weekend at Brian's - part 1 by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (4847 words)

This chapter is broken into three parts. There's a lot going on and it was just going to be horrendously long otherwise. The Beta Elves are working so hard and are to be commended.

 

Please note, the Latin translation is included at the end - no reason to try to figure it out on your own.  Also, it isn't original - I found it on the wall in a rest room - I found it funny.

23. CFS Chapter 23: Weekend at Brian's - part 2 by Netlagd [Reviews - 4] half-star (2485 words)

The boys venture out to see what West Virginia has in the way of night life. Part 2 of 3 parts of Weekend at Brian's.

24. CFS: Chapter 24: Weekend at Brian's - part 3 by Netlagd [Reviews - 3] half-star (2623 words)

This winds up the Weekend at Brian's, soon it is back to the Pitts and planes for the boys.

25. CFS: Chapter 25: PIT - LGA March 31 by Netlagd [Reviews - 3] half-star (4677 words)

The boys head back to the big apple.

 

Warning: there is an assault that take place in this chapter.

FYI, this chapter caused a fair amount of controversy and debate when I orginally posted it.

Feel free to debate the issue of would he, wouldn't he.

26. CFS: Chapter 26: LGA - PIT April 1 by Netlagd [Reviews - 5] half-star (3009 words)

Sometimes things look better in the light of day.

27. CFS - Chapter 28: Let's Give Them Something To Talk About by Netlagd [Reviews - 6] half-star (6903 words)

This is a bit longer than usual, it is a string of vingettes.  There wasn't a good place to break it up without screwing with the continuity - hope you enjoy.
