Bio:
Only recently discovered QaF- at the beginning of 2017!
Now it's my whole world (almost :))
I'm a former academic, wordsmith and enjoy reading QaF fanfic that feels true-ish to canon and the specific humour, idiom and chemistry of the boys.
This is Brian's journey roughly two years after the end of the series. He and Justin have been living in New York City where he has just opened a new branch for Kinnetik. He knows he is going to have to make some major changes in is life and deal with a past that has haunted and shaped the man he knows he is. He is finally ready to face his demons and become the man he wants to be.
This story has many of the old gang we love and lots of new characters too.
Please be warned: There are scenes of violence, drama, angst, mental illness, drug use, non-consent, rape, Brian and Justin with other characters, addiction, discussion of Brian and Lindsay's past, Brian and Cynthia's past, hetero sex, Brian in a brief sexual interlude with a woman for non sexual reasons.
If any of this is a trigger for you, please don't read. If you like your QAF to be strictly canon, this is not for you.

I like your tender portrayal of the relationship between Jennifer and Brian. Most fics I've read depict Debbie as his mother substitute but I can totally believe why he would trust and gravitate towards Jennifer.
Author's Response:
Thank you. In my world, I think he does this because most of the people in his core orbit are high drama or needy. Jennifer is a steady rock of unconditional support.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the ride.

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.)

Hey Tagsit, I've only just discovered this story of yours and I liked it a lot, it's really inventive. It's gone straight into first place of all the stories of yours I've read so far. But I have a question I can't find the answer to... It all made sense other than one issue with the loft... How did Brian know that Justin would be his future tenant? Who arranged that Justin would take it? Thanks
Brian Kinney is a successful 33-year-old advertising executive from Pittsburgh, who is spending a week in Manhattan in hopes of landing the most important client of his career. Justin Taylor is a 21-year-old struggling artist living in Chelsea who hopes to make it big. What happens when the sexy ad man meets the beautiful blonde Picasso?

Justin agreed to be Brian’s new art director for his soon-to-open New York advertising office. What about letting Brian be his Prince Charming?
**This story continues six months after “Sexy Boy” ended, which should be read first before beginning this one.**

Wow that was hot!
Justin has grown up in a very different household than seen in canon. He is living on the streets when he is found by the Liberty Diner gang and is rescued - malnourished, exhausted and ill - and taken home by Brian. Can Justin be brought out of this hell he's been resigned to by his hateful father? Can Brian find the one thing that will make Justin whole again?
This story is based on a prior fic - 'Smolder' - by LovelessSouls. All credit for the haunting story premise goes to the original author, as well as my thanks for letting me repost the first two chapters of that story.

It felt authentic to me!
Brian Kinney, a.k.a. “The Stud of Liberty Avenue,” is the last person anyone would expect to seek professional help, but he is now at the end of his rope. He secretly checks into a rehab facility in New York City to be treated for sex addiction, where he meets his counselor, a gorgeous young man named Justin Taylor.

You really capture Brian's acerbic style and wit here ... You made me laugh with the 'zippy Di do dah' masturbation comment, and the observation about Mel as a junk yard dog ripping someone gave off is priceless and really spot on!
Enjoying your stories a LOT!

I thought this was terrific, particularly loved all the tension in the first half
After an accident that nearly kills him, Brian has a long road to recovery. While he knew deep down that it would be a rough road, he wasn't prepared for something like this.
Huge thanks to Annie_Eliza for my spiffy new banner :)

I feared something like this was coming and I'm afraid I had to skip the most explicit bits. You wrote about it very sensitively though. And what a cliffhanger to leave us on! *cries*

Ha ha that is a brilliant picture of Gale to leave us with here .. Like an eager hamster !

Oh man that was so hot, what a shame it was interrupted!

Blimey ,the tone of this chapter has changed dramatically! I wanted to commend your fab humour in this chapter... The comment from Brian about Justin's cat cooking up a plot to kill him and bury the body made me laugh a lot.. X
Author's Response:
Aw thank you, I can so see Brian pretending to hate Justin's cat, but actually really liking him lol
Ahh, you're getting so close to the end, I need to work on the next chapter. I wish I was a fast writer *cries*
Thank you for reviewing, you are giving me that push I need :)

Author's Response:
YAAAAY, for some reason I like exploring this cute site just as much as their other sides :)

What a great chapter, your writing really reaches the next level when you write about children
Also the way Brian plays on Justin's embarrassment is really funny and hot at the same time! 'You're moving awfully fast'.. Made me laugh out loud!
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you, your words honestly mean so much. Especially NOW I KNOW, what a great writer you are. Your review means so much.
Date: May 19, 2018 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
I like seeing Justin in a more dominant role though, I think it's more true to life. I know RH got a bit fed up of the way Cowlip wanted to portray the sexual dynamic between him and Brian on QaF and I can totally see why
Author's Response:
Oh, I completely agree. I get it at first, J was 17 and inexperienced, but as he got older he earned himself the right to be treated as an equal in that and the writers never delved into that. I think it could have been really interesting.
Date: May 19, 2018 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Oh what a lovely rapport Brian has with Deb here, you capture her perfectly. I laughed a lot at her comment about the lasagne!
And all the discussion of swellings, lol... Of more than one kind going on here!
Date: May 19, 2018 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
I read back in case I'd missed something, an important detail before, butI don't think I have...Justin seems to be confidingin Brian something thatyou've notpreviouslymentioned?
Author's Response:
You're right :)
Date: May 19, 2018 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Oh that was sneaky, it's not who we thought it would be!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for reviewing this. I have to warn you, it's not finished, but I am currently working on the next chapter now. I sort of suffered a little writer's block. But it feels great to know there is new blood reading my work and wanting to read what happens next. Thanks again xx

Phew, that was incredibly hot... And then incredibly tender !
And I'm *still* reading when I should be asleep! Xx
Author's Response:
I hope you fell asleep after this one LOL.
But yay, I am glad you liked that as that is what I was going for lol
High school senior Justin Taylor has two passions in life: literature and Brian Kinney. Unfortunately for Justin, Mr. Kinney happens to be his English teacher at St. James Academy, making their relationship even more forbidden than Romeo and Juliet’s. After signing up as stage manager for the school’s holiday play, which Mr. Kinney is directing, Justin learns that his teacher’s life is more tragic than anything Shakespeare ever wrote.
