Justin has grown up in a very different household than seen in canon. He is living on the streets when he is found by the Liberty Diner gang and is rescued - malnourished, exhausted and ill - and taken home by Brian. Can Justin be brought out of this hell he's been resigned to by his hateful father? Can Brian find the one thing that will make Justin whole again?
This story is based on a prior fic - 'Smolder' - by LovelessSouls. All credit for the haunting story premise goes to the original author, as well as my thanks for letting me repost the first two chapters of that story.

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

I love the supernatural twist to the Brian and Justin romance. Very different from other stories and it's well written and entertaining to read. - samcdee
Justin moves into a new loft apartment in preparation for starting his first term at PIFA. Upon arrival, he finds a “Welcome Letter” from his new landlord, Brian Kinney. But, when he goes to respond, odd things start to happen. Can these two men reach across time itself to realize their love? (Loosely based on the plot of Alejandro Aresti's The Lakehouse - one of my all-time favorite movies.)

Summary: RPS sequel to Life is a Cabaret. Although this one-shot can be read on its own, you'll probably enjoy it more if you read Life is a Cabaret first. Sequel inspired by Robert Gant's Instagram post of 15 August 2016 and by the Rise ‘n Shine Back to the Roots 2016 convention in Toronto. Gale and Randy are again besieged by adoring fans, but this time even more of their Queer as Folk family are watching their backs...

This little drabble was in answer to a challenge by charming1 to write a short fic with no words passing between our boys… I hope I have done it justice. It is also inspired by episode 215’s morning after scene where Brian and Justin were engaging in a little fork porn (kinky silverware though? Lol) Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
