Pro-Mel Fics

[pervasive-panic.livejournal.com]

Hey, I've been out of QaF fandom for about a year but suddenly had a hankering for fic again.

Could you rec me any pro-Mel B/J fics? By that I mean fics in which Brian/Justin is the main focus (as a couple, friends or either of them individually), with Mel having a significant role. Most fics I read have Mel as either practically invisible or a total b**ch.

I also don't mean for her to be totally out of character, she can be snarky and insulting etc. but when either B or J need help, or need to talk, or an issue with Gus etc. she doesn't turn into an unreasonable, evil harridan (nothing against authors that write that, I often read and really enjoy it, but I'm in the mood for something different). I've read those suggested on the Mel defends Brian tag.

Other than that I will take anything; crack, angst, anti-Linds, death fic, humour.... the longer the better!
Cheers :)

Edit: several fics found. So far....
The Gus Diaries, Experiment, Particles, Forever Yours, Boys Keep Swinging and While You Were Sleeping

More still very welcome! Thanks everyone :)

Have you read the Gus Diaries. It's quite pro-Mel and anti-Lindsay?

Wren's "Experiment" turns out has pro-Mel. Can't remember exactly when she enters the story, but I don't think she's in the first couple of chapters.

My current chaptered fic, Boys Keep Swinging, began kinda anti-Mel and Linds, but now it's become pro-Mel and anti-Linds. Mind you, it's only pro-Mel for the last few chapters, but a sequel is coming and that one will be very pro-Mel and she will have a huge part in it.
As far as I'm concerned, she's pretty in character. She still snarks at Brian and they're still sarcastic at each other, but they're more friends than before.

That sound perfect, thank you :)

The story Forever Yours

http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1059&textsize=0&chapter=1

this story is very pro-mel even thought the first couple of chapters may not seem that way. It is a very anti-Lindsey fiction
