Bio:

While I'm new to the QAF universe, I'm really enjoying all the different story lines I have found here and on other sites.


I watched the show when it first aired and then forgot all about it until Showtime replayed it last month. I have since gotten my own DVD set  (have to have the original music:)


I spent many years running a site devoted to fanficton in the Star Wars universe. I loved working with the authors and loved site design, but real life threw a few hurdles and I had to walk away. Now that I have some time and a new passion, I can wait to surround myself with all these unread stories

Really sweet. Loved that the whole family was involved 



Author's Response:

I'm so pleased you enjoyed this tale. I wanted to write a post-5.13 fic that included the whole family and wasn't anti, reflecting the spirit of the show, IMO.

Thanks for taking a moment to leave a comment - much appreciated. :)

Summary:

Ten years post-513. Justin returns to Pittsburgh after a decade of absence due to a death in the family, only to receive some disturbing news.

You fucking broke my heart!! Only 2 years?? I spent a good 5 minutes crying before I could gather myself up to write this review  

one of the best stories I have ever read.  

Now I have to go find some "happy" story to read so I can go to bed. No way I can sleep after this heartbreaker.  

Land the thing is I can see this as actually happening. No way Brian can ever let his Sunshine leave his heart.

thank you for sharing this  You throw down some mean prose. I just love it when I stumble across an excellent author 

your fan

I was in the mood to have my heart broken tonight. So here I am reading this story again. It's been a few years ... still one of the best stories to cry by. 

I still wish that you gave them more than 2 years.

I'm really enjoying this Brian. And while this story is horrific and get wrenching it's also really funny. 

 

Some of the best dialogue I've read in a long time

No. No real surprise 😂 but again... The dialogue is fantastic. You have managed to put together a story filled with horror AND lol humor. But more importantly, you gave them a way to start this relationship away from friends and family. To actually get to know each other.

 

also love that your putting in those Little e thingsfrom the show.

You have already found their voices. 😉 sweet, loving and very sexy. 

Having Emmet the unwilling audience was a delicious addition. It made the whole thing hotter. 

Love this ficlet. And if this is your first QAF story, well.. I can’t wait to read more. 



Author's Response:

Thanks! I will admit that I was nervous at first, (as anyone is posting in a new fandom), but the fandom has been very supportive as I tested my new wings and I've had a lot of fun with this couple. And poor Em...didn't want to interrupt, but so not wanting to be there at that moment in time; and then again, so wanting to watch because who wouldn't it? Thanks for reading! :)

This is a much better way for them to get back together. Very “them”. 

Excellent story. 



Author's Response:

I do wish this had happened rather than them dancing around each other for a while longer. Although, I was just glad that the whole Ethan nonsense was over by that point and the orginal scene was beyond hot on it's own. Thanks for reading! :)

Great story. 



Author's Response:

Yeah, as someone that likes happy endings for our boys, it was tough to write. But sometimes, the muse wants what it wants; and this case she wanted Justin to finally unload all the bile that had been building inside him. She's evil like that. :) Thanks for reading!

Not sure how much more of you I can read. Major tears on this one. 

You got the characters voices perfect. Sigh... it's just a beautiful end to a beautiful love story. 

Summary:

A ‘what-if' of a sort. I recently re-read ‘Decision/Reaction', an AIDS/HIV one-shot by Simon. This ficlet is set as an interlude in Simon's ‘Decision/Reaction' ‘verse. (Link to Simon's story is in the Story Notes.)

This would be set around 2010. Brian would be around 38 and Justin would be around 26.

So I just started reading your work. You are a heart breaker. But then a flood of emotion and occasional tears are what reading is for.. you are now on my list of favorites. 

Just wanted you to know that there is a woman in California that feels your words. Who's life you have touched. 

Thank you for sharing your gift 

Deborah 



Author's Response:

I'm very honored that you've been touched by my writing. Thank you so much. And, yeah, angst is in my blood. I try to keep it in check, but even my happy stories tend to be angsty. 

Thank you again, Deborah. We in Florida hope you are safe from the fires where you are. 

Summary:

Brian told Justin to get some friends his age – what if the kiss Michael saw was misconstrued? What if miscommunication was only the start of it all? Just how far does the butterfly effect go?
