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.
Sequel to No More Mio Amore - about two years post NMMA.
(Brian & Justin do not 'meet' in this story. This is the story of why they didn't meet in 101.)

At Deb's, in the middle of the night Brian surprises Justin.
Highlights of four decades of Brian & Justin's life post series.
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.
Brian and Justin meet while Brian is interviewing him for a position in his ad agency, "Exhibition". Justin is a confident recent graduate of the prestigious MFA program at CMU. He knows his boyfriend isn't "the one", but he's definitely not searching for "the one" either, and probably doesn't even believe in that stuff anyway. Brian owns Babylon, which was bombed a few years ago and he nearly lost his best friends, and all this has made him view things in life a little differently. He's happy with his life, proud of his son and proud of himself for owning two booming businesses before he's even turned forty. He's still confident, vain and is the most valued dick in Babylon. Meeting Justin, becoming friends with Justin is something that he sort of hates but has absolutely no control over. Especially because somehow, being with Justin is Brian's favorite part of the day. He'd never think or admit that though... maybe.

The path of sound credence is through the thick forest of skepticism. ~George Jean Nathan
It all starts when Brian ‘saves’ Justin, but Justin isn’t down a well and Brian isn’t a hero. In fact, they actually sort of hate one another after this but that doesn’t stop them from playing their own games. Neither one of them want a boyfriend but due to unstoppable forces that’s what they’ll become. Not that they’ll admit it. Brian and Justin will reach a point that they’ll have to decide to move forward together or stop ‘whatever they are doing’ and go back to life without one another. You could say that it’s a bit of a challenge.
A minor take on the movie 'Planes, Trains, & Automobiles'. Brian made Justin and Gus a promise to be home for Christmas.
Post-513 Brian, Justin & Gus Christmas fic at Britin
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.
Set anytime is Season 4. Justin has to babysit and brings his charge to Brian's loft. Is Brian willing to put aside his annoyance so that Justin doesn't have to leave?
Written for Sf_Scarlet. Thanks to Judy for betaing.
Season 4, around 410. Justin is sick and has a project due for school, inspiration comes from Brian, after much complaining from the man.

Written for the "Dare to be Bare"; challenge. Brian and Justin need a vacation, as fate has it, they go to Japan. This is NOT a fic based on the Earthquake or Tsunami. Takes place roughly 3-4 years after 513, they are living together at Britin.
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.

Many thanks to my beta Judy!
