Summary
tl;dr: only happy endings here, despite the scary tagging. read on for more.
So here’s the thing: this is an entirely frivolous enterprise on my part. It’s basically just a bunch of emotions put in a blender and poured into a story-shaped Jell-O mold, then refrigerated, turned upside down, and served up to you all on the metaphorical melamine plate that is AO3 (that’s a fifties cooking joke, by the way. I can’t stand aspic as a food, but it makes a decently palatable literary device). This may end up being a novel; it may end up being a vignette-based series; it may end up being an CBS All Access-exclusive miniseries - highly unlikely, but so is light being simultaneously a wave and a particle, so who knows?
This story is set primarily in the afterlife, which means that the characters have to die in order to go there, hence the death tag, but - spoiler alert - I’m not going to kill anyone in an excessively tragic soap opera accident, and they’ll be happy and unharmed up there afterwards. It’s set in the same universe as the rest of my work (if you’ve read my notes on the last series, this is the “out there” project I was referring to, in case you couldn’t tell).

Summary
This piece began as a standalone set in post-513 land where Brian and Justin are married and still own the loft and the house in WV. It was written during the time I was writing Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Eventually, it became the introduction to a series of multiple stories that I am starting to post here July 2020. That series is called: Disposition/Induction/Maintenance/Negotiations series. Disposition and Induction were standard stories. Beginning with Maintenance, the series became a writing experiment that continues today with Negotiations.
Disposition/Induction/Maintenance are all complete
Negotiations is active today.Originally posted on LJ 9/8/08. Hope you enjoy it.

The One Where Justin Loses His Hearing by LaVieEnRose
Fandom Queer as Folk (US TV 2000), Queer as Folk (US)
19 Oct 2024
Summary
You're not ill, and I'm not dead. Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?
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.
