It was refreshing to see that at long last Justin and Brian are at ease in their relationship, so much so that they were able to cope with the appearance of Ethan without the expected drama of revisiting those old wounds. An enjoyable read.

Summary:

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold - well some hotness is always nice isn't it? Meet Ted Schmidt, according to former friend Michael Novotny, he's one of those pathetic suckers put on earth to be taken advantage of. Because of Ted, Michael has the life that Ted could only dream of. Between him and his wife Lindsay, they run Rage PR Inc, the best public relations agency in the Northwest Frontier, well according to them...the people they represent, not so much. They want to expand and think themselves unstoppable, untouchable but they're about to find out how wrong they are. Because into Ted's life come three men; Ben, Brian and Emmett - they decide to teach those two liars a lesson they will never forget and put them exactly where they're supposed to be. And what do the four of them get...love and happiness of course, read on and find out how everyone gets what they need and deserve.

Based on a frightmare that Cathy Sunderland told me about...one tweakage later and here we are! Thanks for sharing.

Intriguing read and very different from anything I've read before in the QaF universe. Can hardly wait to see where you are taking us from here :-)

Summary:

May be an image of 3 people, including Leah Taylor, tree, mountain, snow and text that says 'The Man HatE? 3 Let's Discuss Gus'

It has been five years since Brian and Justin had reunited at their Montana cabin.  Little Aiden is just completing kindergarten.  Although he would always have his health issues, they were well controlled as long as he stayed on his medication.  Gus was the son they are worried about.  He is 15 and completing his sophomore year.  He had gotten in with the wrong crowd.  He’d been living with his moms more and more who were too wrapped up in their own problems that they lost track of what Gus was up to.

 

Now it is up to Brian and Justin to try and get their kind and caring son back before it is too late.

Thoroughly entertaining as always - I can just imagine the sour expression on Michael's jealous face. Can't say I've ever seen in daylight savings in this way - more's the pity! Here in New Zealand we are heading into autumn and the end of daylight savings, so now it is back to dark mornings and lights on driving home from work, truly awful and so not worth the extra hour of sleep it brings. One thing I do look forward to is guilt free reading of awesome QAF stories like this because it's too dark, wet, cold, windy (take your pick) to be productive outside. Roll on winter, I say.



Author's Response:

I love that "as always." 😘 Thank you for the lovely compliments about this story.

Yeah, I figure there will always be a little bit of jealousy niggling at Michael; it's that whole unfulfilled desire thing. (Thank God it's unfulfilled!)

Pure wish fulfillment; I imagined how I'd like to see in daylight savings. I also haven't ever read a fic (QaF or elsewhere) in which daylight savings played a role, so I had to take advantage of that.

I have another reader from New Zealand following my stories over on AO3. She said you go off daylight savings on Easter Sunday this year. I bet that doesn't happen very often. I hate dark mornings! That's why I'm so cranky right now; it's dark when I'm used to having daylight. I'd rather have it get darker earlier but have the daylight in the morning. Still, I could handle being permanently on daylight savings. Just choose standard time or daylight savings and stick with it, dammit. (Yes, I'm still cranky almost a week later. It takes me close to a month to get over the time change.)

There can never be guilt over reading QAF fics, right? 😁 I can see where it's nice to have winter's blessing, though - there has to be some advantage to cold, dark, dreary weather.

Thanks for commenting, Nicky!

Sometimes, when life is running you ragged, you just have to take the time to stop and get your equilibrium again. What better way than to re-read a treasured favorite series, with the bonus of it being just as good as you remembered from the first time. Still love this, and will no doubt return one day for another refresher :-)

Summary:

May be an image of 8 people, including Leah Taylor, tree and textOur fourth and final (I think) in the Man I Hate? the series has begun.  Brian and Justin along with their boys, Aiden and Gus, along with Ted and Victor with their new ward, JR are heading home from the cabin. The boys will be heading back to school in a couple days.  Ted and Victor are going to build their own cabin near Brian and Justin's and they are thrilled to be able to help with JR.  They had always wanted a family and now they had one.   

Justin's ex is threatening to take Aiden away and while Brian and Justin fear they may lose one of their sons, Ted and Victor may be adding one.  

 

(Child abuse will be mentioned in a past memory at the beginning of this story.)

Summary:

Brian Kinney can come and go as he pleases, do what he wants, when he wants with who he wants. And now he's about to enter fatherhood with his best friend Lindsay and her wife Mel, who despite their earlier rocky start, are close. However, a few spanners are thrown into his world. Lindsay's grasping friend Dusty is turning her head. Michael's callousness towards Ben is turning his stomach and Claire's cruelty towards his nephews, especially Peter, is bringing back bad memories. When all three situations start to implode, Justin Taylor’s return further messes with his equilibrium. The question Brian has to honestly answer is he the last or the best thing he needs?

Next chapter is now posted.  Mel and Linds have a view of Brian and when that doesn't fit their vision, they balk.  I hope you enjoy this story as much as the last one.

Very pensive story, Michael being Michael was undoubtedly the weakest excuse for his appalling behavior throughout the series, because he was allowed to treat so many people badly - Debbie, Vic, Emmett, Ben, Brian and Justin. His idea of friendship and family was rooted in what he could get out of it, absolutely selfish.

I really hope to one day see a continuation of this series.

Summary:

Justin mistakenly gets sent to Brian by one of Brian‘s Eastern European clients as his ‘mail order bride’.
