"Classics" search/Newbie recommendations?

[scarhead-ferret.livejournal.com]

Hello all!

I'm rather new to QAF fanfiction and eager to read lots of stories.  That being said, I don't really know where to start!  

So if anyone has any "Must read!"/Classic/newbie recommendations to get the ball rolling, I would be so grateful!  As far as pairings go, I really like Brian/Justin, however I'm open to other possibilities as well.  (Although please no extreme rape fics or hardcore bdsm, etc.)  

Thank you very much!!!

(If this type of post breaks any rules or this question has already been asked a lot, please tell me and I'll delete this straight away. thanks)

EDIT:  Thanks to everyone for the recommendations!!  I have plenty enough for now.  If you really want to send me more recs, you can send me a private message, but I think I have enough for now to keep me quite busy :] Thanks again.

You want classic, in character stories?

Here you go! (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/qaf_retread)

You don't have to have an Insane Journal account (but you should!!!) to read these. There was a mirror comm here on LJ, but it's not updated anymore. All of the must-read fic in fandom from way back to right now gets rec'd there. Start at the top and work your way through. If you come across any links that are broken, let me know, and I'll either get you an alternate link, or let Bunny (the mod) know so that she can fix it.

Enjoy! And welcome! Any questions about this comm or any fics, whatever, feel free to drop me a PM!
