Title: Not Again

Timeline: Post 501 Pre 507
Warnings Hurt/Comfort
Condom(s): Nine to Justin One to Brian
Not Again
It was after four am. Babylon was closed and Justin was tired.
“Go home. I’ve got a couple of things to do. I’ll see you there.”
Justin nodded, slipped on his jacket and left. He was mostly sober by now, and as the cool air forced his hands into his pockets he smiled contentedly at the thought of burrowing under the duvet and sleeping until at least noon tomorrow.
A tall man bumping into him pulled him out of his reverie.
“Sorry” he murmured as he sidestepped to continue his route.
The man didn’t let him pass. “Not so fast.”

Title: Liberty Avenue Farewell
Author: Brianswalk
Timeframe: Way, way post season 5 (I hope)
Warnings: DEATH!DRABBLE, but not the boys.
ETA Condom: Brian
Liberty Avenue Farewell
Justin let out a quiet gasp as the limo turned onto Liberty Avenue, causing the others to gaze out their windows.
Hundreds of twinks, bears, leather daddies, and drag queens lined the street, decked out in their best and brightest. Some held hands, some wept openly as the cortège passed. Music roared out as the hearse passed the diner and the mourners turned into revelers.
“What are they doing?” Carl asked.
“Celebrating her life,” Brian replied.
“Look at all those guys,” Michael said. “A bit much, don’t you think, Brian?”
“This wasn’t my doing, Mikey. It’s Deb’s boys saying goodbye.”

Title: Santa
Author: Foreverbm
Timeline: about 3 years after season 5
A/N: Yes, probably too early for Christmas thoughts...lol
Condom: Michael
JR held tightly to Ben and Michael’s hands as they walked down Liberty Avenue.
Lights twinkled around them. Christmas decorations adorned the store windows.
“Daddy…Daddy.....look!!”
Michael scooped her into his arms.
“What honeybun?”
“Santa!”
“Where?”
“There Daddy!….Can’t you see him”
She grabbed hold of Michael’s hair, yanking his head around in her excitement.
“No”
“Dadddddddddddy…look!”
“Oh. I wonder why he is here.”
“Daddy you are so silly. Can I go and see him….please?”
“Why?”
“So I can tell him allllllllllllll the things I want for Christmas”
Ben grinned at Michael.
“I think it’s going to be a expensive Christmas baby” |

Title: New Surroundings
Author: Foreverbm
Timeline: Season 3
Condom: Michael
Hunter watched the car cruise past and then speed up, disappearing from sight.
He sat down on the cold pavement. Another quiet night.
He wasn’t sure why he had chosen Liberty Avenue tonight, but something had drawn him here.
He stood as a car slowed, then stopped. He casually walked towards it, not waiting to appear too eager, but hoping he would be offered a warm bed and enough cash for a meal tomorrow.
He hesitated before jumping into the car, his eyes looking upwards, locking with blue ones staring back at him from an open window.
Future business perhaps. |

Title: Too Damn Caring
Author: Foreverbm
Timeline: None
Condom: Michael
Michael cradled the dove to his chest. He had found it lying on Liberty Avenue.
The dove made a painful coo. Michael dropped his head, peering at it with sad, brown eyes. “Hang in there little fella’.”
Ben came out of their apartment. “Michael…? What’s wrong?”
Michael looked up. “The dove, Ben, its hurt.”
Ben glanced at the bird in Michael’s arms then back at him. “Michael…”
“Ben! What’re we going to do?”
Ben shook his head. Michael was too damn caring for his own good. He looked down again at the dove lying in his arms.
“I’m sorry baby.” |

Title: Memories
Author: Foreverbm
Timeline: Seasaon 5
A/N: I know we are supposed to tag our entries but I have no idea on how to do this. I have tried, so apologies if it doesnt work, any help on making it right would be much appreciated.
Condom: Michael
“Ah, Liberty Avenue”
“In all it’s glory”
“Miss it?”
My eyes scoured the streets, images of times passed flittered through my mind.
I looked at Ben. My present, my future.
Memories of the past would always stay with me, be important to who I had become but the memories of now, the ones we make together were what I held on to because I never knew how many I would have.
“Have I told you lately that I love you?”
“Yes, but it’s always worth repeating.”
I kissed him, adding another memory to the vault I kept in my head. |

Title: The Reason
Author: Tweedygal, unbeta'd again.
And the condom goes to: Brian
“Jesus, Brian. I can’t believe you want to fuck right here.”
“That’s what you just said about giving Michael my car. Now shut up or I’ll use my powers of mind control to gag you.”
Brian’s lips and tongue stifled Justin’s retort. Brian turned Justin toward the alley wall and pushed his jeans down, hands wandering under Justin’s jacket to pull him closer. Sinking his dick into Justin’s ass, he groaned, huffing out, “Finally.”
Justin, somewhere between a laugh and a moan, managed to gasp, “I get it. Your real motive for crushing Stockwell.”
Brian was too busy to answer. |

Title: Pride
Author: Vamphile
Timeline: Post 513
Condom(s): Justin
Pride
Michael was holding JR's hand, Ben and Hunter flanking them. Debbie held one end of the PFLAG banner. Jennifer held the other. Emmett’s company was sponsoring the float for the Vic Grassi House, honoring the ones they’d lost, and the ones who were still fighting.
Brian stood behind Justin, his arms wrapped around his waist as they waved to their friends.
Over the years they’d been to Pride in Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Paris. They always tried to make it back to Pittsburgh though. They both knew this is where they’d learned to be proud. |

TITLE: "HOME"
AUTHOR: Doppelganger
TIMELINE: Post-513
A/N: It's been awhile.
This one is for Kinney.
It’s been a year, he thought as he walk down the street towards a familiar establishment not far from the loft. New York City has been good to him, but its crowded streets cannot be compared to the show that is Liberty Ave. His stride quickens as he near his destination. His heart pounds violently in his chest.; his hands that created wonderful masterpieces sweats.
He pauses upon seeing him outside the diner; beautiful, dominating.
Realizing he’s being watched, the dark haired man turns his head meeting his blue eyes.
A smile appears on Brian’s lips.
Justin knew he’s home…

Title: Lost in the Moment

Condom(s): Justin
Lost In The Moment
Brian and Justin were both drunk. Halfway to the loft Brian stopped to kiss Justin, who wrapped his arms around Brian’s waist. Brian thrust his hips causing them to stumble backwards; his hands were on either side of Justin's head, sharing air before he claimed Justin’s mouth with a kiss.
Brian tugged at the waistband of Justin’s jeans lowering them below his hips. Justin sighed as his ass was pressed against the cold smooth surface.
There was a loud knock and applause, startling them. Debbie was frowning glowering through diner window.
Brian smiled, “Whoops.”
Justin, pulling his jeans up, blushed. |

Title: WTF?
Author: Vamphile
Timeline: Post 513
Condom(s): Justin
WTF?
Brian and Justin both stared. Okay, it had been more than two months since they’d made it back to Pittsburgh but someone should have told them. No one had. Instead they’d showered, stopped for breakfast at the diner and were heading to their favorite toy store on Liberty Avenue. They’d been so focused on each other they hadn’t noticed until they thought they’d passed it. And then realized that it in fact wasn’t there.
Brian’s reflection in the glass was grim. Justin’s eye were narrow, his disappointment surpassed only by his anger.
“It’s a Baby Gap, Brian, what the fuck?” |

Title: The First Time
Author: exmptfromsanity
Timeline: pre series
Condom: Brian
He and Michael have been walking up and down this street for years, but they haven’t gotten up the balls to go in anywhere yet. He’s there tonight, but Michael isn’t. He’s standing across from Babylon alone.
“My father is an abusive drunk,” he’d snapped at Michael before storming out the front door, finally having admitted it aloud.
Tonight was different. Tonight things changed.
Tonight when the old man had come after him he’d swung back, knocking Jack down on his ass, staring back up at him in something like shock.
He set his jaw and walked across the street.

Title: When I Saw Him Standing There
Author: Philflam
Condom(s): Brian
Timeline: First season before Brian admits anything, even to himself.
“That’s the one!” said Justin as he and Brian walked down Liberty Avenue.
“What are you talking about?”
“That’s the lamppost I was standing under when you fell in love with me.”
“One, I am not in love with you. And two, all these lampposts look alike.”
“Yeah, but this is the one. Exactly 20 feet from the entrance to Babylon, it’s the 10th lamppost from the diner, exactly where I was standing when you first set eyes on me.”
“Whatever. I’ve no clue.”
As they walked away, Brian knew Justin was wrong – it’s the 9th lamppost from the diner. |

Title: Panic
Author: Vamphile
Condom(s): Justin
Panic
Brian had just come down someone’s throat in the alley when he heard the unmistakable sound of cars colliding. Zipping himself up he glanced towards the street. Moving quickly when he saw a flash of blond hair on the driver being pulled from the wreckage. His eyes never left the slight form, covered in blood, on a stretcher, his body restrained. He tried to get a better look. He was shouldering his way closer to the ambulance when Justin stopped him. “You know that guy?”
Brian hugged him fingers running through his hair, assuring himself that this was Justin. “No.” |

Title: Liberty Avenue
Notes: It felt nice to write something again today. Un-beta'd.
And the condom goes to: Brian, who I think actually earned this one instead of getting it from me because I love him. ;-) He needs to win again...it's been a while!
Liberty Avenue was jammed with fire trucks, ambulances, police cars. The rain-slicked asphalt reflected the flashing lights, adding to the frantic atmosphere. People huddled in small shivering groups looking stunned and shocked. Others scrambled through the throng, calling out names hoarsely as they searched for loved ones. No longer festive and gay, Liberty Avenue was forbidding and cold.
Brian pushed down panic as his car approached, thinking only of the people he knew were there. Then his mind flashed to one. “Please, just let him be ok,” droned in his brain repeatedly as he joined the throng on the street. |

Title: The More Things Change...
Author: Vamphile
Condom(s): Justin
The More Things Change...
Brian leaned back against the car. Emmett was joking with them, his arms draped over Justin’s shoulders. Brian removed them pulling Justin forward, nuzzling his neck before kissing him. He whispered something softly into Justin's ear, mostly just to feel the smile it created. Ted and Michael were bickering over something pointless. Justin kissed Brian again and took the keys out of his own pocket. “I’ll see you at home?”
Brian nodded and headed back towards his own car. Ready to fall into a bed full of naked Justin.
In ten years a lot had changed. Some things never would. |
