Brian crosses over to alternate reality

[quirkyeyebrows.livejournal.com]

Dear QAF fans, I've been wracking my brains and some help on this would be fab -

The fic I'm thinking of has QAF Brian change places with a Brian from a reality in which he never met Justin, and follows the two Brians as they try to figure out their altered lives and how to get back... If I recall the fic was quite long, involved Mysterious Marylin, and was deliciously angsty. Any ideas?

Oh - and while I'm here, if there are more reality or body swap fics I'd love a peek =D

EDIT: Fic found - "Through a glass darkly" by slave_o_spike link in comments. Plus great additional recs! (Although more is always better!) What an awesome comm this is!

One last teeny thing - if anyone has a link for a story someone mentioned in comments, in which Brian and Jennifer switch bodies, I would love you forever - it sounds fantastic!

This is a really good one ) Work inside out by Keewick
http://www.queereyes.net/workinsideout_01.html
After a car accident Justin sort of leaps back in time to his own body 4 or 5 years prior, when he just met Brian. So you've got two parallel universes, first one with Justin trapped in his younger body and the second where Justin isn't really Justin anymore. There's a minor character death though, so beware. But it'a amazingly well written and very in canon.

It's Through a Mirror, Darkly by slave-o-spike. You have the link above.

I am sure this is the Mirror Verse by Beseme. I am at work so can't get to a link but I can post one tonight

The only fic I know that has that premise with Mysterious Marilyn is The Wish, by Irina. It's in the DL Fics on the right.

I agree that the fic you are looking for is Through a Mirror Darkly by slave_o_spike.

Here are a couple other fics that might interest you as well.

Intrepid Traveler by Irina. While Justin is with Ethan he gets the chance to travel back in time in order to meet a college-age Brian. Can he change the future? Here's the link: http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=4295&textsize=0&chapter=1

The other one is Misty Moonlight by Moonshadow Woman. Brian and Justin meet, but there's just one problem...they live in parallel universes. Can they find a way to be together? Here's the link: http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=212

Hope you like these!

There's a funny one where Brian and Jennifer body swap and there's also one where Brian and Justin wake up in each others' bodies, but I don't remember titles or authors for either one of them.

Hi, I'm a little late on the uptake but yeah, if you want, I also have a body swapping fic where Justin and Brian switch...well...bodies.

It's called Something Seriously Amiss (http://slave-o-spike.livejournal.com/12474.html). The link takes you to the first part and the other 3 parts are on my master fic list - it's complete. (I really need to update my tags). Hope you like that one too. :)

The Brian/Jen switch is Dreamcatchers "You've Got To Be Kidding Me"
