Credit for the original plot device in the Prologue is attributed to Shard's Angel from the story "Angel" posted on Fanfiction.net. However, after the prologue, this story will be completely different than that fic. Thanks to the original author though for the prologue idea. Thanks for reading my stories! Enjoy! TAG

*** Warning - This story deals with child abuse and the descriptions will be pretty graphic. Please don't read if this topic causes you any distress *****

***NOT a Death Fic - Despite how this prologue starts, this really isn't a death fic. But I can't explain why not without giving away plot. You'll just have to trust me on this!***

*****Here's the first full chapter for you. Hope you enjoy. TAG

Justin learns a little about how to be a guardian spirit. Enjoy! TAG

This might be a tear-jerker chapter for many. Major 'Angst' alert, folks. Also, it's heavy on the child-abuse theme so please don't read if this will negatively affect you. If you do choose to read on, I hope you like what I've written - it expands on what may have happened in Brian's past to make him the adult he turns out to be. It isn't pretty. It IS inspired by real life stories, though. And, although the statistics are disputed, many professionals claim that Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day for domestic abuse hospitalizations in the United States. I sincerely hope this isn't the fact for any of my readers. TAG

I'm busy trying to avoid doing my Statistic's homework. Instead, I was able to finish up another chapter for you. However, it's too late to bother to re-edit for typos - sorry, I'll have to get them tomorrow. In the meantime, thought you'd like to have this to read. Enjoy! TAG

*** Major Angst Alert (Very depressing stuff, actually). Also, heavy on the child abuse issues, which might be triggering. Read with care.***

*** Warning - underage sex. ****

This story is definitely more angsty that the rest of the stuff I've been writing lately, but that goes with the plot. And the good news is that we only have a little bit more of the torturing Brian chapters before I can move on with this story - So, enjoy the angst while you can people! TAG

The making of Brian Kinney is almost complete. By this point in my story, almost all pieces of his personal philosophy are in place. Next chapter, he gets to start working on his Pain Management techniques and then . . . finally, maybe, things will start to get a just a tiny bit better. Remember, it's always darkest right before dawn. Enjoy! TAG

First, Justin finally finds a way to help Brian. Then Michael shows just how much he's willing to do to keep his friend safe. Enjoy! TAG

So, the good news is that, finally, Brian's gonna get some respect. All you readers who were getting fed up with Brian being Jack's punching bag, will like this chapter. Enjoy! TAG

Guess what? Yep. More conflict and angst! Just what you wanted right? Well, here's how I perceived Brian's 18th birthday to have happened. Enjoy! TAG

I promise that this is the last chapter of pure Brian torture - After this he just gets to wallow for a bit in his miserableness, but there will be no more overt torture. TAG

***** Warning - Contains scenes detailing sexual assault. *****

Here's a first for THIS story - a perfectly happy chapter where no actual torture is enacted upon Brian. Enjoy it! I think we all needed it after the last chapter! TAG

Brian gets an inkling of just how lonely this life he's making for himself really is. Despite the fact that his career is taking off, he has no one to share his triumphs with. Or, does he? Enjoy! TAG

I think it's about time to return to the angst and drama of our lonely Brian. What do you say? Hope you enjoy! TAG

Yep . . . More angst! Just what you needed right? Enjoy! TAG

How to torture your story's main character by TAGSIT . . . It goes on. Enjoy! TAG

The making of Brian Kinney is pretty much complete. By this point we see him at his most 'Brianish'. It's really not a pretty sight. But he's become what his circumstances and his environment made him, for better or worse . . . Enjoy! TAG

Yay! Finally, this story is moving beyond the torture Brian phase . . . Enjoy! TAG

Justin's plan to redeem Brian. (And no angst at all is involoved!) Enjoy! TAG
