"Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." - Dalai Lama

Because sometimes you get exactly what you never knew you needed.

Thanks to Cheryl for editing.

Brian, his fingers and what he enjoys doing with them. This takes place sometime around episode 309-310 but it's life outside of the Stockwell arc.

(Brian & Justin do not 'meet' in this story. This is the story of why they didn't meet in 101.)

Brian suddenly becomes a father to Gus when Lindsay and Melanie die in a car accident. Because Brian was not there to meet him, Justin goes home, but later, in different circumstances he is bashed by Chris Hobbes. This is their story prior to their 'official' meeting which happens in the sequel.

Post Series, One-shot - Things aren't going so well for Justin in New York. Brian goes to New York to help Justin figure things out in his own way. Written for sangwin for the 2013 qaf_giftxchnge

Humorous and Sexy story about how Brian, Justin and the rest of the gang deal with two new feisty additions to the gang.

Written for Second Chance Challenge @ qaf_challenges @ IJ.

At Deb's, in the middle of the night Brian surprises Justin.

Brian is in the third grade when he's paired up to be Justin's buddy on the first day of school, Justin only a kindergartner but they immediately connect. This is not the average, boy meets boy, best friends turn into lovers story. Brian is terrified that he has found love in Justin, and Justin represses his love for him. They both find love with another man, the same man, but will end up together. Love, hate, death, forgiveness, pain, suffering and joy has been thrown into a cauldron and has boiled over into this piece of fiction so take a deep breath, grab the tissues and enjoy.

A minor take on the movie 'Planes, Trains, & Automobiles'. Brian made Justin and Gus a promise to be home for Christmas.

Who would have thought that on his vacation the annual nuisance next door would turn into anything but and with time would become so addictive? Brian didn't, especially not the first year he met Justin in Ibiza.

Timeline: This is a canon characterization alternate 'fate' of Brian and Justin. Will involve many of the characters from QAF and events from canon for Brian's life and Justin is of course an artist.

Season 4, around 410. Justin is sick and has a project due for school, inspiration comes from Brian, after much complaining from the man.

This story is another long-overdue fulfillment of one of the gapfillers that Astarloa requested with her winning bid in the help_haiti auction. She asked for a season three gapfiller about Brian and Justin going out on a counter-espionage poster mission.
