The setting is post Season 5 by several months. Brian has developed a unique problem that he has only faced one other time. He turns to the psychologist who helped him with Justin's problem after the bashing in hopes of finding a solution. Will the good Doctor figure out the puzzle that is confronting Brian and help him solve it? I dedicate this to Lori, who had been a blessing in my present chaotic life and given me much needed incentive to get back to my writing. As always, I owe a great debt of gratitude to Judy, my beta, and Marika, my banner maker. Thanks to both of them.

I, like so many, was not at all happy with how the QAF series ended. So here is my version of how it could have happened after the last scene. I owe a debt of gratitude to Eka for my lovely banner and Heather for her wonderful beta work.

I have something a little different from my usual romantic story for you. This is a What If story. What If Justin did not meet Brian during his Senior year. What if he was bashed for a different reason. Do you remember that one moment in the show when Justin wished he had died from the bashing...when he lost it and pushed his mother down? What if those suicidal thoughts went further, but a guardian angel steps in to give him a glimpse of what he will miss if he dies? Will it be enough for our young man to fight for his life? Or is it too late to change his destiny? This story is unbeta'd at the moment because my beta is off to see Randy in the Berkshires. That is more important. LOL! Corrections will be made when she has more time. The banner is again by my talented Granddaughter, Marika. Enjoy!

Well now, I don't know about the rest of you wonderful QAFers, but the ending for Brian and Justin wasn't the only one that irritated me. I was extremely fond of Emmett, as I know so many of you folks were too. I wanted a happy ending for him, but we all know how it ended with his footballer, Drew Boyd. I got to thinking that it was time for them to have their closure too, and who better than master schemer, Brian to get the ball rolling (who can forget the way Brian set up Michael at his birthday...or even better, the way he set up Ethan and Justin at the diner when they were still secret lovers).
So here you go...Brian Kinney becomes matchmaker for Emmett and Drew. Will his plans succeed or fail miserably? Let's find out. A huge thank you to my sounding board, Lori...my beta, Judy...and my dear Amy for the banner. Enjoy!

Hello again, my friends. Today I give you Chapter One of a brand new story. I promise you lots of sparkle, chills, thrills, sequins, and tights...not to mention romance...in this story set in post Stonewall, pre AIDS America where a small independent circus struggles to stay alive in a changing world. Their lead attraction is Trapeze star Brian Kinney and there are plenty of changes in store for him too when he meets the young man who is in desperate need of changes in his own life. What happens when these two souls meet and discover more than a love for the circus in common between them? I hope you will enjoy the journey.
I want to thank 3 special people for this story. One is Sunny, a dear friend who suggested the premise for this story. Another is Judy who will serve beautifully as my beta. Last but not least is my Granddaughter Amy who tried valiantly to get our boys into tights for the banner, but still created a beautiful one anyway. Thank you to them all. This story is dedicated to all of you. So on with the show.

I am a sucker for "Brian in Peril" stories and this is one of the best I've read. The author does a great job dissecting Brian's complex mind. Phenomenal writing, interesting premise, and a satisfying ending. Can't ask for much more! -charming1
