<img src="stories/24/images/Double_Gale_by_Vonnie.jpg">
To say I'm obsessed with Queer as Folk would be a major understatement. I never saw the show while it was on Showtime, I found it Spring 2008 and was hooked after only one episode. Not even one episode, maybe 10-15 minutes of one show. Even the great Brian Kinney couldn't have designed an advertising campaign that could sell this show so completely, so fast if he tried... Oh wait a minute... I guess he did now, didn't he...
Justin has grown up in a very different household than seen in canon. He is living on the streets when he is found by the Liberty Diner gang and is rescued - malnourished, exhausted and ill - and taken home by Brian. Can Justin be brought out of this hell he's been resigned to by his hateful father? Can Brian find the one thing that will make Justin whole again?
This story is based on a prior fic - 'Smolder' - by LovelessSouls. All credit for the haunting story premise goes to the original author, as well as my thanks for letting me repost the first two chapters of that story.

Did I just see a pig fly past the loft window???
Good for Brian, he's being honest with himself and Justin. I can't wait until they really have romantic feeling for one another...
Later Darling ~ Kathleen
Author's Response:
Yep, Brian suggesting they 'TALK' . . . I think the possibility of flying pigs is high! LOL. TAG
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - Dichotomy.
Poor Justin, why do I think Michael's ranting brought on his panic attack...
Later Hon ~ Kathleen
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - Disconnection.
Poor Justin he's so hurt and confused. He's full of contradictions of need and worthlessness. I pray that Brian can get through his defenses. The streets are no place for him as he tries to heal from his childhood.
Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Perception.
One day at a time is better than nothing, and maybe Justin will come to realize that Brian is worthy of his trust. Now look out Ted and Em, and I'm sure Mickey once he shows back up. Making Justin's feeling of insecurity resurface again is the last thing him or Brian need...
Later Darling ~ Kathleen
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - Confusion.
I love how caring and understanding Brian is being. I think Gus is the key to helping Justin open up. He's been so abused mentally, and physically you can't help to want to protect him and love him... I love that we're seeing Brian change right before our eyes. I just hope that Michael accepts this new Brian and doesn't ruin how things are developing between Brian and Justin.
Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Decompose.
Oh no, no, on... I'm only on chapter six, I just noticed that it's nice and long...
I'm loving it by the way!

Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Decompose.
Ha! I like your way, 43 chapters is one hell of a finish...
The beginning did seem familiar, but I don't really remember this fic.

Author's Response:
WOW! You read fast! Glad you liked it. So excited to get new readers for this story. I tried to tie it all in with my ending. Hope I succeeded. TAG
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Waste.
So I'm curious is this an unfinished fanfic by LovelessSouls? ~ Kathleen It was finished . . . Sort of. I just thought the ending was too abrupt and unsatisfying. So I took it on and rewrote it my way! Hope you like it. TAG
Author's Response:
Date: Sep 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Waste.
This should be interesting seeing how Brian comes to grips with his need to care for and protect Justin, and his need remain on the prowl unattached...
Great Start! ~ Kathleen
Date: Sep 20, 2016 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - Adumbration.
I'm praying that it's Daphne, I hate to think that Craig has been keeping tabs on Justin's hustling career...
Later Hon ~ Kathleen
Seasons 1& 2 Hybrid with emphasis on the bashing and the recovery from it as I think it could have/ should have happened.
Initial Plot Bunny from Deb Tanner: What if Michael had tried to stop Brian from going into the prom and had witnessed the attack?

I'm liking your version of events, maybe they'll be justice for Justin after all... Brian is being so sweet, I'm crossing my fingers that he stays that way. I hate to see Justin brokenhearted in the future...

Okay loved the deposition, and our pitt-bull dyke lawyer!
Now I forgot to comment on toppy Justin. That was so perfect! Hot! And incredibly romantic... Brian Kinney does take it up the ass and likes it! A LOT!!! More toppy Justin Please!
Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

This is so sad that Justin felt he had to hide from
Brian. A year is a long time to go without seeing each other...

Okay I understand Justin wants success as an artist, but 5 + years is to long for anyone to wait. I have to question if he really wants a real relationship with Brian, or if Brian should move on? I hate the idea of them not together, but there already not together...
