2 requests: brian and justin try to work things out at the end of season 2; also, some 2010 recs...

[elvenfixation.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone...I hope everyone is having a good Holiday Season.

I've been, unwittingly, away from the fandom since last November, but I have a craving for some Brian/Justin fiction at the moment. First, I'm looking for any stories, long or short, where Brian and Justin don't break up at the start of the Ethan fiasco. Like maybe Justin doesn't leave the party with Ethan or they try to work things out after the "You stink..." episode. I read one once where Justin tries to kill himself after that... Evil-Ethan stories would be good too... or may just something where Justin realizes his huge mistake after he sleeps with Ethan that first time...

Also, because I haven't had a chance to read a lot of B/J fic this year, can anyone recommend some must read stories for 2010...

Thanks for any help guys...have a happy season...


Edit: Two recs so far for my 1st request...would love some more. Thanks. None yet for request #2.

How can I get to Part 2 of Try?

[yennifaire.livejournal.com]

click on 'go on to part two' at the end of the chapter
works for me, but here's the link, just in case

just fyi, all ethan's fics have been uploaded to the DL site on the sidebar.

[simplystars.livejournal.com]

Which is very a good thing since I was just reading via the WBM now and between one page and the next got a robots.txt exclusion error... :(

[court1429.livejournal.com]

wow. Really? That really surprises me. Like, a LOT!

Well, I wonder if that was a glitch? I just clicked through a few of his fics on the WBM and accessed them okay. Good reminder to at least save the webpage versions to hard drives.

[simplystars.livejournal.com]

That is... odd, since I can't access anything at all. :-/

http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.xhaleslowly.com , right?

[court1429.livejournal.com]

Yep. The Wayback page with all the dated entries shows right up. Maybe clear your cache and reenter? Are you in the US? I've never heard of anyone outside the US being blocked but I know some countries block certain youtube vids.

[simplystars.livejournal.com]

Yeah, in Calif. This is just very strange... I cleared today's history & was able to get to the dated entries page, but when I clicked a link it went right to robots.txt again, and when I reloaded the dated entries page got robots.txt then too, grrr. >:-/

Fortunately, as you pointed out, I can DL the fic (I'm just lazy *g*). :)

Where can I find "Try" to download?

[court1429.livejournal.com]

In the Download More Fics link on the Sidebar. It's a whole file of Ethan's fics, so you'll get them all. There's a pdf version and a Word version.

[elvenfixation.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll take a look.

There are plenty of fanfics, where Justin chooses Brian over Ethan. I don't know what kind of fics or what authors you prefer, so I'll just give you several links to different stories :)

Short fics
Partners (http://eowyns-musings.livejournal.com/79947.html) by eowyns_musings
A short AU fic, that takes place after 219. A little bit OOC, in my opinion.
Don't Dream It's Over (http://oz-expression.nu/qafpig/sa_dontdreamitsover.php)
Another short fic, where Justin chooses Brian. (convo-only-fic)

Long fics
The Eye of Your Mind (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=606&chapter=1) by walmer92
Lots of angst.
Reclamation (http://community.livejournal.com/bjfic/1316605.html#cutid1) by bndjsfaghag15
Episode 220 (AU).

I don't know whether it fits your request: Name Your Wish (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/JVF/Wish1.htm) by JustVisiting
Summary: "Takes Brian and Justin from mid-season 2 to a far different finale, as they try to find a way to be -- and stay -- together." No Ethan.

Those look great, thanks a lot. Now I have something to read over the weekend.
