See, I told you - Angst!!! Now I'm worried sick about Brian and Justin, and that nasty piece of work Vicky too. This is going to be a tough one isn't it :-(   Oh well, just means I will definitely be back for more.



Author's Response:

I always tell my readers.  Brian and Justin always end up together, it's just how they get there that adds the drama.  I hope #14 is a 'hold onto your seat' kind of story.  Lots planned.

Summary:

 

confronting your fears

 

After a distressed phone call from Michael with the most terrifying news, Brian and Justin decide to revisit their rules and lifestyle.

Despite the obvious dramatic subject of this story I really enjoyed Brian & Justin and Michael &  Ben showing how strong their relationships are and how supportive their friendships with each other are. Finally, all grown up!

Summary:

Brian Kinney has bought his own hunting and pleasure playground... Babylon. However, he is not a normal man. He is a vampire. Justin Taylor will soon be pulled into his world, a young man that has survived his own dangerous past. What happens when hunter encounters a more addicting prey? 

STORY IS NOW COMPLETE.

I enjoyed this story and would happily read more in this AU., especially more exploration of Brian and Ben's lives, Justin's heritage and what the future may hold for Brian and Justin. Another great one :-)



Author's Response:

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, there is really so much more that could have been explored, but I decided to leave it to the imagination. I definitely don't rule out a return visit. I often do that, but for now I will leave them here. I never know which way my muse is going to take me. :) 

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Summary:

What if Brian had taken the job in New York in season 1? After three years in New York, Brian returns home to Pittsburgh to find that things and more importantly people have changed. 

 

This was one of my first attempts at fan fiction and I am not 100% happy with it. Still I decided that some people might like and appreciate it anyway.

This was awesome. I really would like this storyline to continue but, in lieu of that, I look forward to your next story :-)



Author's Response: That's so nice. If I were to add to this alternative timeline I think it would only be in snapshots but I will not commit to anything since I have a horrible history of not finishing anything lol.

Absolutely loved this story. Always happy to see the back of the fiddler, especially if it means Brian has his Sunshine back. Really liked that our boys were finally open and honest with each other, and that Michael was shown the door once and for all. Could happily read much more involving these new and improved Brian and Justin.



Author's Response:

 

Nicky,

I'm glad you enjoyed this story. It felt good to have Ethan ruin the thing he cherished most, since he tried to ruin the person that Brian loves. And the weasel got what he deserved, being shown that he is not Brian's best friend and that he will never get what he wants because Brian is with the only man he truly loves.

I thought there was no way you could wrap this story up with just one more chapter, but so happy to be proved wrong.  3 chapters and voila - total satisfaction. Loved this story, and thwarting Michael and Lindsay's lame ass attempts to control Brian was a lovely added bonus :-)

Yes! This is exactly how I thought that story line should pan out. Brian would finally grow some balls and give Justin a little of what he needed -- show him just a little care, love and respect. He didn't  want the world, just to know he had a place in it by Brian's side. Loved this.



Author's Response: Thank you so much for your supportive comments. I always like to see Brian and Justin end up together - no matter what - but Brian had a lot of growing up to do as well, and I think throughout the show, that finally came through in the character.

Summary:


This was a plot bunny that was posted several months ago by Tatiana Rita Rampin.  I am sure it wasn’t exactly what she had in mind but it is what my imagination created after thinking about it.

 

This story is an alternative storyline for what happened after Chris Hobbs bashed Justin during prom at the end of Season 1 and what happens when Craig Taylor gets involved.

Argh! Cliffhanger! I knew this wasn't complete but still managed to get completely caught up in the story lol. Dramatic stuff - I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the next chapter. I'm so hoping Craig is going to be made to pay for his nefarious deeds, in fact my mind is filling with all sorts of painful ramifications for his actions. I really like the new family you have created with Brian, Jenn and Molly.



Author's Response:

I love a good cliffhanger.  And we all know Brian will make him pay.

So, Justin becomes even more ill after telling his coach he has his own water bottle in his bag?  There are definitely some dirty deeds being perpetrated against our favorite blond boy... I sure hope those responsible are going to be exposed and punished! This latest complication will definitely put a hold on Brian's seductive plans for the evening and a frustrated Brian is, without doubt, a force to be reckoned with - I can already see the signs lol. Looking forward to the next chapter :-)



Author's Response:

I guess we'll see, but I think Justin's present ailment is more due to the fatigue of going through such a strenuous performance while not yet recovered. But yes, this was a horrible thing to perpetrate against Justin. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again! It does seem that Brian does need to exercise his patience a bit longer. That's certainly not his strong suit. Haha.

Thanks for reading and commenting. The next chapter, a small one, is now posted. :)

Summary:

 

Justin is coming up on his fortieth birthday, not that he cares. He’s lived the life of Riley  since he was seventeen. But now he’s back home, at the request of his father. What he wants after kicking him out all those years ago he doesn’t know.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. 

Summary:

bannerBrian and Justin have come a long way.  They met back on the streets of NYC.  They had a family and made lifelong friends.  They lived and nearly died together more than once but overall it was a long happy life.  The final chapter of Can’t Do Life Without You has our favorite couple enjoying their senior years with their family in their favorite place, the vineyard. (Don’t worry, Brian and Justin will be happy and healthy at the end of the story. Ch. 16)  If you choose to read the epilogue there will be a death of a Major Charactoer.

Wow, I know you said Brian and Justin would still be with us at the end of this story but, regardless of that, this chapter left me with a heavy heart and a lump in my throat. It is very sad that some of their family and friends are no longer going to be with them/us. This really is an awesome series and each story has been like returning to beloved family time and time again.



Author's Response:

I promise it will lighten up.  I hope the first chapter doesn't 'scare' anyone away.   I am glad you live my family as much as I do.

Made the mistake of reading this before work this morning... sobbed my way through it and then had the red-rimmed eyes look to start the day. Sooooo sad :-(



Author's Response:

Maybe I should have put a tissue warning on it.  LOL I am happy to know it touched your emotions.  I hope to lift the spirits of the story soon.  By the end of the next chapter I hope it has a more happy note.

I really, really, really don't want this to end, but equally I am so happy that Brian and Justin have had this wonderful life together and that their family continues to flourish and grow. What a journey it has been. Looking forward to the epilogue to this amazing love story.



Author's Response:

Thanks for loving my family as much as I do.  It was so fun creating and I hope I kept most of the facts straight as I wrote in all the different characters.  I will have the epilogue posted tomorrow, I think.  I hope you will stick around for the next to series I plan on continuing and I do have a one shot I will probably do soon.

Reviewer: nickknack Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: Nov 22, 2020 Title: Chapter 17: Epilogue

Wow, it has been quite a while since I have had to get up and walk around before I could continue reading a story - just to try and stop my sobbing and see through my tears. A very fitting ending to an amazing saga. I will miss this family, as I became vested in all their lives not just those of Brian and Justin themselves. What an amazing legacy you created for them and their true love story. Truly brilliant!



Author's Response:

It was hard to say goodbye and there were many tears as I wrote it.  I did feel like they were my extended family.  I am glad it touched you and I hope over the hours you spent with them, you felt the love they had.  There will be more 'B&J' stories ahead.

Summary:

A Yours, Mine and Ours story. Brian is a father of ten children and Justin the father of eight when they meet. This is a MPREG so if that isn't your thing I'm sorry.

I had a feeling we were heading for heartbreak but this was so much more than what I was expecting. Beyond sad for Emmett as he tries to be all things for all people, all while he deals with his own grief at the loss of his good friend and tries to be strong for Brian. I see tough times ahead. So beautifully written but also so sad. I just know I am going to be impatient awaiting each new chapter in this brilliant series.



Author's Response:

Yeah, I am glad I wrote Ted getting Emmett to open up. Emmett has to be going on a emotional rollercoaster of his own with trying to keep everything smooth and informing everyone of such a devastating loss. :( Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

I'm wondering if I'm going to be holding my breath for every chapter I read! This is going to be so hard on Brian - he has had way too many  events happen in his life where he blames himself for other peoples hurt and injury. I hope the updates come quickly on this - I'm on tenterhooks :-(

Thank you.  They all deserve to be happy.  There will be another in the series to come.

I bet there are lots of things we don't know about Brian and Justin, and I'm sure some of it might surprise us.
