Sequel to "Filled Silence" set in the Post-Stockwell Era, Brian and Justin makes some decisions that will redefine their definition of the word 'relationship'. Although inspired by the concepts within "The Experiment" by Wren and "The Dare" by Edom, it's my take on what should have happened in the series. ENJOY!!!

To the Wonderful and Talented Lorie Austin, Thanks for being my beta, but most of all, my friend. I couldn't do what I do without you.

Aaron’s best friend in junior high, Teddy, became more than just a friend by the time they graduated one and two in their high school class. They went off to college together where their love continued to grow.  As they completed their undergraduate degree, Teddy was accepted into the Medical School to become a doctor while Justin planned to go to the School of Veterinary Medicine. They had already decided they would graduate in their own fields and then, together, would go explore the world while helping those in need.

But sometimes best laid plans don’t come to fruition. 

Aaron finds himself alone with a newly earned Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and, although it couldn’t be with Teddy, Aaron heads to Africa to help patience and, hopefully, find himself again.

(I apologize if there are a lot of mistakes in this story.  With my beta unavailable, I used AI for corrections.)

Justin volunteers as a test subject for a new company that purports to be able to find your soulmate for you via an implant that measures biometric responses occurring during interactions with potential mates.

Several months after Brian and Justin part ways, a private airing of their dirty laundry results in a night of passion that neither one can forget or stop. But what happens when Brian is tired of playing second 'fiddle' to the fiddler? And how the hell do they keep the Gurus of Gossip aka the 'family' from finding out about their affair?
Based on the plot bunny from TAG!

Accidents happen, but some are worse than others. Brian's car gets hit by a blond who doesn't seem to be scared of him.

A Partner-free Week Getaway has sent relationships spiraling out of control. After a public altercation, landing the couples in front of Judge Marcus, four skilled counselors will have their work cut out for them to save the well-known couples of Liberty Avenue.

The question is: can they be saved... or do they even want to?

Story #75 in the Sunshine Files

Alternative ending to Season 5

From a plot bunny I saw years ago

Brian and Justin got married in the ceremony they had planned. They loved their rings. There had been many times as Justin worked on an art piece he felt Brian’s heartbeat as he worked at his desk. Many times they felt their heart beats sync and they both would feel the connection. They still went out to Babylon and on certain nights agreed to party with others but only if they were together and only if both of them agreed.  Most times they talked about a night like that they still went home together. There was a little flirting and a kiss or two but neither of them had broken the rules they had set for their marriage. Being able to feel the beat in the band made them feel more connected than ever.
