Au Season 5 - Justin and Brian don't break up

[silver04.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if something like that is out there. The whole breakup in Season 5 always felt.. so out of character for Justin. Especially since he and Brian were pretty solid prior to the LA thing.

I've got a WIP (nearly finished) dealing with that very subject ... why did Justin leave?

It's very long and quite angsty, at least in the beginning. If you're interested it's here:

Wren's Reverberations (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/WF/Reverb.htm) is my favorite alternate Season 5. She starts with it being Justin rather than Brian who gets syphillis, and goes on from there. Needless to say, they do not break up in this one.

It has a sequel, Homecoming (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/WF/Homecoming.htm), an active WIP.

Also an active WIP started with the first story "Listen to me" where Justin keeps in touch with Brian after leaving to NY.

Oh, I second this fic! I'm in love with your story!

I hate to pimp my own work but I wrote a continued ending to S5. It's called Coming Home (http://balrogtweety.livejournal.com/31320.html)

This has been around awhile, but I would recommend Xie's ONLY TIME Series.

I plan to start reading this when I have time. I never go over to fanfiction.net, so I'm happy you posted your link here. Have you ever tried cross-posting over at bjfic or midnight whispers? A lot more people visit those sites regularly.

Later!

Late response is late. I just happened across this fic in my bookmarks. It's a post-series wedding fic, so not exactly in line with your request, but it's a good, well-written story and I wanted to make sure it's in the tags. Plus, it's a New Year's Eve fic and we don't have too many of those. ;) Clandestine (http://qaf-challenges.livejournal.com/23339.html) by falconhawkowl.
