What a great post and a wonderful walk down memory lane...sort of. I discovered QAF around 2010 and I was immediately so obsessed with it that I didn't seek out or notice any other gay paring. It was about a year and a half later when I discovered a slew of other pairings all through the wonders of YouTube - that's how I found DeRo, Chrolli, Lucas and Edwin (Ludwin?), Aaron and Jackon (Emmerdale) and, of course, LuRe (ATWT). Speaking of ATWT, I tried watching the Luke and Noah storyline, but Noah's character just rubbed me the wrong way, not to mention treated Luke like crap and I stopped watching, until someone suggested I watch Luke and Reid and I just FELL IN LOVE with Dr. Reid Oliver. What a character! Plus, LuRe's chemistry level was about on par with Brian and Justin.

Anyway, your post makes me want to re-watch ALL of them. BTW, thanks for the link to the DeRo vids. I was heartbroken when their channel disappeared and I could find any of the videos again.

Cheers,
Vin
