Justin Taylor and Brian Kinney had a lot in common. They both had to raise themselves. Neither of them had a picture perfect family and by the time they entered college they were on their own. Brian is a private investigator working on an art theft for an insurance company. Justin just moved to Pittsburgh and is now working for Emmett Honeycutt and George Schickle in the Schickle Art Gallery. Brian arranges to meet with Justin, hoping Justin might have heard something working with art.
There are instantaneous sparks when they meet, and the heat between them begins to grow and grow. Will Brian find the art thief? Does Justin have the connections to assist him? Will they be able to focus on the case at hand or will their attraction to each other distract both of them enough to fail.

Brian and Justin have moved the family to Atlanta for the summer. Justin planned to focus on his art students and his own work. J.Jay, his assistant, would be helping him at the gallery and with the other young artists that would come and go throughout the summer.
Brian had a couple leads for new clients he planned on working on this summer but his main plan was to spend as much time with his kids as he could. He especially wanted to spend time with Gus. Since Lindsay had come back to the states, Brian felt like he was missing out on so much more and Gus was growing up so fast. Henry had come along to take care of the kids. A housekeeper had been hired to do some of the cooking and to clean while they were there. It was the perfect home away from home for the Taylor-Kinney clan.
Kevin had started the Center years earlier and now had bigger plans for Legacy Atlanta. Tom Butterfield had been running the place since Kevin had moved to Pittsburgh. His wife, Natalia, had been working with Brandy and Sally, Kevin's adopted daughters, and he couldn't wait to meet his newest granddaughter, Kelin Cae, who had been named after him. They planned to open a new, expanded Center that would be able to help more struggling, young adults.
Another benefit to the trip was to get away from Craig Taylor. If it was the last thing they did, they were keeping full custody of Aaron. Craig may have donated sperm, but that was his only contribution. He was still on parole, so he wasn't allowed to leave the state... or was he?

Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor had been married for two years. They lived in Britin with six year old Gus, eighteen month old Aaron, and six month old Jessi. Extended friends and family lived with them, helping with the children and the compound. Gus' mother had just returned to the states and was rebuilding her relationships after a year's absence.
Their friends, James and Emmett, lived in another house on the property. James was in charge of security and managed the property. James' mother, Ronni and her husband, Dante, lived on the third house on their property. Ronni managed the house staff, but in the next six weeks she would be giving birth to her first grandchild for James and Emmett. She hadn't realized how much harder it would be to have a child at her age, but it would be worth it when she held her son's baby in her arms.
Brian's father, Kevin, would be moving out very soon. He was moving into Brian's childhood home. He also was going to open a new shelter. With Brian's help, Kevin, along with friends, were opening Legacy Center. It would be an escape for teens that had been thrown out or mistreated because of their sexuality. Kevin had run a similar place in Atlanta but he left that in the care of friends. Tom and Natalia, as well as his ‘adopted' daughters, Brandy and Sally, would do a good job keeping the place running smoothly. Brandy and Sally were also about to be parents so the family was growing.
Life at Britin was full of life and love. And although they may face the ups and downs of life, together this tribe can make it through anything.

AU after Season 4. The year Justin turns 23, he and Brian get the news that over the next year he's going to gradually lose all of his hearing. The series tracks the next years of their life as they manage their new reality, after-effects of the bashing, their eventual move to New York, and their ever-evolving relationship. Told in first-person chapters from their points of view and some outsiders, with some angst, a lot of hurt/comfort, and loads of humor. Never any big relationship drama, always disability-positive, and no one ever takes themselves too seriously.
