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

It's not that I didn't enjoy it. It's a awesome heartbreaker.  Heartbreak can be a good thing. And I kinda skimmed Simone's story before. It's just in my universe, Justin is Brian's one and only. I know many of us feel the same. It's the foundation of my love of the character's. 

I enjoy your work. It's well written and I can see it playing out like this in RL. But I don't read my guys for that. I'm stubborn. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I knew you were going to break my heart but I read it anyway. You did your job, you made me cry. 😰. 

Sounds like a backhanded compliment but it's a great story. And next time I need a good cry I'll read some of the others. But I'll still be lovingly mad at you. 

That's why I'm a fan. 😍

Author's Response:

I swear I didn't mean to make you cry! But, yeah, in my universe Justin is Brian's one and only just as Brian is Justin's one and only. However... when I read Simon's first story in the series it was the first time (and quite honestly the only time) I found an original character that I could believe Brian would be attracted to beyond a one-time trick. And since the Ethan arc gets explored a lot, I decided to see what I could do with the idea of Brian leaving Justin for someone else, how Justin would react, how the others in the family might react, etc. Then when I read the other stories in the series I realized I really wanted to explore a stronger Justin, one who wouldn't begin taking drugs and partying all night (he had already done something similar in the series) or become Michael and mope around waiting for Brian. Anyway, I'm getting too long winded! :)

I'm glad you enjoy my work and if I do ever post anything else in this AU I hope you read it. Hopefully I can find a way to get them back together without it taking 20 years and/or a death as it did in Simon's series!

I could deal with the new guy, but not for long. 20 years or death means Justin was runner up. The new guy is there to make Brian realize that Justin is his Soul mate. That was the only reason Ethan was necessary. 

20 years is a life together. He can have 6 months, maybe a year. But after that he no longer deserves Justin. 

I'm taking this way to personal right now. 🤦‍♀️ 



Author's Response:

I often wondered if Simon had the Brian/Steve relationship last so long was to do something no one else was doing. Almost everyone gets Brian and Justin back together quickly and designates them as soul mates. I wanted to explore something different which is what Simon did. I remember there were writers who would pair Brian with Michael instead of an original character which is something I find offensive. (I'm getting way too personal now! LOL!) Most of them were the die-hard Brikey fans.

I do think it's possible to have Brian and steve together for several years the same way others have written Justin and Ethan together for several years before something happens to break them up, whether it's Ethan cheating, abusing Justin, or he dies in some way. I haven't really decided how long to have them together or how to get Brian and Justin back together, but it is fun playing around with the ideas.

Hopefully it won't take me too long to figure it out. Or at least finish my 4+ WIPs in this AU!

Everyone has been placed in charge of their own lives. As Brian and Justin begin to design theirs, Michael and Lindsay are having to deal with what they wanted... just not the way they wanted it.

Again, a special THANK YOU goes out to Lorie, who I find an AMAZING person to know. I seriously couldn't do what I do without you. Love you!

I just love this whole series 

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.

Buddy by Tagsit Rated: M starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 50]
Summary:

What if there was more to the story behind Brian’s ‘first time’ in the shower with his gym teacher? What if there’s a darkness in his past that perhaps even his Sunshine can’t penetrate? And what if that darkness was suddenly exposed, tearing Brian’s life apart? Will Justin be able to hold them both together while Brian fights with the demons in his mind?

I'm loving this. I just recently read Alterations by NoChaser. I loved it and I'm really excited to read your version of this type of story line. That throw away line, ".. But I don't remember." really stuck out. As someone who always bragged about his conquest, it was so out of character. I admit I didn't catch it the first time I watch the show. But then I didn't know Brian that well. I thought he said it to change the subject. But of course it really stuck out after rewatch 3 or 4. I knew Brian then.

I'm surprised you two are the only ones to pick up on it. It explains so much about why he lived as he did. 

Can't wait to see where you take this. 

Deborah 

 



Author's Response:

I love 'Alterations' too. This story isn't going to be quite the same. I'm not qualified to write a DID narrative. But this Brian is suffering from a similar experience. And, yes, that weird line in S1E1 ALWAYS bothered me. I thought it was telling... Thanks for reading. TAG

The Prince by NoChaser Rated: A starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 5]
Summary:

 


On the night of Brian's proposal at the country manor, Justin learns a surprising truth. Exactly why did Brian change so dramatically after the bombing? Something very strange, and cracky, this way comes, folks. Not really an ounce of angst in sight. Leans heavily on "Britin" dialogue from the show, with a twist.

 

This is dedicated to Tagsit, since her new story Earth Boys are Easy got this weird little bunny - which was cranked out in a couple of hours! eek - running around in my head.
