Hi there,
I was wondering if there any stories out there that are based or slightly based on Simon's QAF story - "The other Foot Series"? The original story was heart wrenching, tear jerking and just really sad but beautifully written. Brian falls in love with another man and dumps Justin and Justin basically spends his whole life loving a man that never really loved him. Even when Brian and Justin get back together (after the other man dies twenty years later) it just seems that Brian settled for Justin but never really loved him. I'm hoping that there are stories out there that take Simon's story or concept in a different direction with B and J do end up together but with Brian really in love with him or with Justin having more of a backbone.

(PS - All props to Simon because it was a damn good story but just hoping for more B&J love)

Thanks

UPDATE: Some great links found in Comments - Thanks to everyone who posted.

Hello,

There was Mouse's "One Foot In Front of the Other" which used to be in the Midnight Whisper. I'm sorry but I can't seem to find a working link to it. Hope somebody will be able to help out.

Margaret on Midnight Whispers has one called "Falling Down the Primrose Path." I don't have the link but it's easy to find there. These 2 are the only pro Justin take-offs on Simon's series.

You're like a lot of us. We're swept away by how well it's done even though it tears us apart.

Can someone post the link to Simon's story?

Never mind Margaret posted the link in her story summary.
