Bio:
I live to read QAF. I also write. Since I love reviews I always leave one on the stories I've read. It also helps me keep track of the last chapter on stories that are updated on an irregular basis.
Wants versus Needs.... That's what Justin Taylor's life has come down to. Having traveled the world as a dancer, Justin now faces the choice between continuing his lucrative career or rebuilding the tumultuous life he'd left behind in Pittsburgh. Enter Brian Kinney with an offer he may not want to refuse.

Date: Jun 13, 2016 Title: Chapter 4: ~Part IV: MIDDLE GROUND~
Oh boy. Surprise, surprise. It's nice that Molly is happily married and soon to be a mother, but even better love, love, love her taking on Marlene like she did. I'm sure Brian and Justin will back her up in any trouble she might get into for it. Not to mention Aunt Prissy and Uncle Peter. Maybe Marlene will finally end up in jail? Good to see that Ted has Brian's back. Not surprised to find Mikey spending money that he doesn't have to get the goods on Brian. That friendship was long overdue for ending.
Date: Jul 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 5: ~Part V: TANGLED WEBS~
Wow. You've given us a lot here to enjoy. A new chapter with Craig and his bitch being put in their place and Lindsay in the hospital would be terrific.
Date: Aug 31, 2016 Title: Chapter 6: PART VI: THIN LINES...
Melanie, with the help of Leda is seeing a new side of Brian. Justin and Brian's faux relationship is turning into something else.
Date: Aug 31, 2016 Title: Chapter 7: PART VII... BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
Lindsay claiming her baby is Brian is never going to fly. Somehow Melanie and Harry will have to figure out some way around buying Gary out. After all what he and Brandon did can't be legal, can it? Somehow I don't see Brian letting Justin give up his dream of college if he knows about it.
Date: Oct 03, 2016 Title: Chapter 8: PART VIII: ~YEARNING TO BE FREE
Thank you for yet another chapter to this wonderful story. Can't wait to find out how Justin and Brian deal with Brandon and Gary not to mention Craig and his bitch. This is one exciting story.
Date: Mar 06, 2017 Title: Chapter 9: PART IX: ~DESPERATE TIMES~
Such a wonderful chapter. Nice to see Lindsay and Mikey get their just deserts.
Date: Apr 03, 2017 Title: Chapter 10: ~PART X: DESPERATE MEASURES
How Michael and Lindsay can imagine Brian being their to rescue them is beyond me. Getting protection for Molly is paramount.
Date: Jun 20, 2017 Title: Chapter 11: PART XI ~IN FOR A PENNY~
So much happening in such a short time. I'm liking that Gary is okay with Justin being Happy.
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 12: PART XII~EXACTING A POUND OF FLESH~
So nice to see more on this. And what fun to see that Ben finally has a clue and is doing what needs to be done. Great job!
Date: Apr 10, 2018 Title: Chapter 13: PART XIII ~DO NOT PASS GO~
Craig and Marlene's days are numbered. Lindsay is looking for trouble and plans to leave Michael behind.
Date: Sep 28, 2018 Title: Chapter 14: PART XIV ~DO NOT COLLECT~
Tut tut. Lindsay got played but good. I actually like Sam and I didn't think I would.
Date: Jun 20, 2019 Title: Chapter 15: ~PART XV: ~YOU GO TO DIRECTLY TO JAIL WHILE I COLLECT TWO MILLION DOLLARS~
It is so wonderful to see how your mind works and updates on your fabulous stories. This one chapter has given us a lot to look forward to.
I love the supernatural twist to the Brian and Justin romance. Very different from other stories and it's well written and entertaining to read. - samcdee
Justin moves into a new loft apartment in preparation for starting his first term at PIFA. Upon arrival, he finds a “Welcome Letter” from his new landlord, Brian Kinney. But, when he goes to respond, odd things start to happen. Can these two men reach across time itself to realize their love? (Loosely based on the plot of Alejandro Aresti's The Lakehouse - one of my all-time favorite movies.)

It's almost as if it was destiny. This is one of my favorite tales of an AU QAF
Author's Response:
Thank you! It really was the perfect story to adapt to QAF! I love my first baby! TAG
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Welcome (August 5, 2001)
So this is what could have happened if Justin hadn't made it to Liberty Ave and stood under a streetlamp. Love how this story is developing.
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - An Eager Correspondent (August 5, 2001 Â 4:45 pm)
After digesting the last chapter, I wondered Brian's reason for moving to West Virgina. I'm assuming that is addressed later on in this story. Even though I know I've read this before, rereading it again makes it seem new.
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - Meet Brian. (August 5, 1999 Â 9:30 pm)
Twilight Zone much? Spooky!
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - The Mailbox (August 7, 2001)
An AU to outdo all AU's ! This is fun.
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - Can This Really Be Happening? (August 6th, 5:15 pm)
Time travel anyone? So Brian is two years before he met Justin? Crazy, but crazy good.
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - Resigning Oneself to The Impossible. (August 7)
Glad I don't have to wait for another chapter. Too suspenseful. Does this mean that if Brian does meet Justin before he's bashed it can be avoided?
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Distractions.
The backroom scene is one thing that never changes for Brian. I'm assuming this time line is before Gus? With the first season changing what happens to the new timeline?
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Meanwhile, Back At the Ranch . . .
Justin works at the diner? So he's met Debbie, which means he'll meet Mikey and Emmett? So many possibilities! Wonderful chapter btw.
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - Discussing Photos.
Ding, ding, ding. The Diner is something they have in common. Since Brian didn't turn 30 until later in the first season, what does it mean that he's 30 now?
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - Discussing Photos.
PS- I've forgotten to mention about learning why Brian does that lip roll thing. Then I wondered if Justin's Mom and Dad are still married. Not that any of that changes the enjoyment of this story.
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - Self Portraits (August 9)
Fate. That's the only way to explain things. Brian is falling and hopefully this time there won't be all the drama.
Author's Response:
Oh, there WILL be drama, I'm afraid. Lots of it. Lol. TAG
Date: Aug 16, 2016 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Terrors in the Night (August 9, 2001 Â 2:00 pm)
Oh my! Brian was at his prom? The bracelet is becoming a major clue.
