The As Long As I Come Home To You Series is a series of four Hanson fanfics by Kerry, written between 2006 and 2014.

Named for the first story in the series, each story takes its title from a lyric in the song Annabel by Pat McGee. The following stories are titled I Looked Up And I Saw You, I Never Thought I'd See The Day, and I'll Scream Out To Everyone.

The series begins with Zac and Taylor reuniting after several years apart. When they were teenagers, their father discovered their relationship; Taylor was sent to live with an open-minded aunt in California while Zac bore the brunt of their father's anger until he turned eighteen and left home. After reuniting, the brothers go through a series of ups and downs while trying (multiple times) to rekindle their romance. They also face disease, homophobia, temptation from other men and more. The later stories also feature an OMC loosely based on Adam Lambert.

After less and less frequent updates, Kerry deleted the LiveJournal containing the series in early 2016.

Reactions and Reviews

From a questionnaire on Hanfic Rants:[1]

I just love the way she writes, not too much detail but not too little. I love her original characters just as much as her Zac and Taylor. And since this is "book" 3 of 4 and the previous 2 books were 50+ chapters each, I'm so invested in and attached to all of these characters at this point that it just makes it so much fun to read every time she updates. I care and I love it when a story pulls me in that way.

Awards

The series won awards in the Soundtrack Awards and Thieves and Liars Awards. It is also featured in the PlaceToHide.net hall of fame.
