Alien AU futurefic

Ok, so I asked for this a while back -  but never found the one I was looking for.  However, I did remember some additional details, and hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about.


All this is going to sound nuts - but I swear on Brian's junk that it does exist somewhere....


Brian is in some kind of starship academy/captain of a ship and Justin lives on another planet.  Justin is the heir to the throne on his planet and I think Brian was in a similar position.  As certain points in the fic Justin and Brian communicate telepathically. 

Justin also has a giant cat as his companion - I think her name was Kira or Kiarra, he can also 'speak' with her telepathically.

I remember Brian crashing his spaceship (which Mel and Linds were on as well) on this planet that had this small race of people on it.  The people could shape-shift their gender at will and I remember them wanting Brian to help them procreate.

(I know this sounds crazier and crazier as I go on, bear with me please)

I'm pretty sure Ethan was the bad guy - he wanted Justin out of the picture so he could take the throne.  Oh!  and Mysterious Marilyn was in it too as a sorceress or something.


Does anyone know what I'm talking about?  Thanks in advance!  *prays no one comes at me with a straight-jacket...*


EDIT:  Author found. (comments)  Still can't find the exact one, but there are tons of great rec's in the comments!
