Brian in a relationship with another guy

[greendaycarry.livejournal.com]

hi,
I know this kind of request is pretty unusual but I actually wanna read about Brian meeting and then dating and being happy with someone else, it doesn't hve to be anti-Justin at all
it could be post 5-13, or simply AU, but I'd like Brian to be in character and no need for any kind of drama

Do you know a fic like that please?

FOUND a lot of propositions ( in the comments) thank you all very much, and don't hesitate if you got more :)

The Other Foot Stories by Simon
http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/SiF/OF.htm

I swear this fic scared me for life. I don't have the nerve to read it again. Really, it took me more than a week to get over it.

if you go to this page http://www.randalls-fiction.com/stories.php and read the stories "Blue Lights" through "Reconstructing Brian" (those four stories follow each other) they have Brian get involved with another guy (and they are really fantastic and well written) though I don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for or not.

Also, there is a story called Swamp Fever you might like (it has Brian with someone else, and may be more what you're looking for) though I don't remember how to find it. The author was Brian Hennessey I think.

I second Randall's fic, and want to add Brian's "Swamp Fever" and the sequel "Burn". They're simply brilliant.

Just finished reading 2 great fics by Ashleigh Kinnerson on RidiculouslyRomantic.com. Called "The Education of Allan Carson" and "Graduation of Allan Carson". Its anti-Mel, very little Mikey, none of the gang. Justin and Brian don't marry Justin moves to New York, Brian meets and falls in love with Allan (who is straight...) he and Allan move in together, Justin is ok with it then moves to Europe and falls in love. Brian and Allan and Lindsey and a OCC character names Lori live together in Canada then move to Britin and end up with lots of kids. Justin comes home after 10 year ( he has a daughter with Lindsey) Justin, Allan and Brian enter into a relationship.

The end is kind of odd but its 19 great chapters.

Thank you for providing the link.

[cowboystracker.livejournal.com]

Good rec! That's one of my favorite series.

[lanbeo.livejournal.com]

*g* I know. Your fic "Your love is mater with me" kind of help me with the trauma after read Simon's fic. Hope you update soon. *hugs*

[lanbeo.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I felt after finish it. Deeply traumatized.

(just the thought of it, ugh, gotta read my fluff rec ASAP)

[marysunshine104.livejournal.com]

I think Swamp Fever and Burn are excellent.

Begin Again by Arwensong:

http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/ArF/Begin.htm

A Time From Now by Gaeln (B does not leave J, but is heavily involved with another...well written)

http://gaeln.livejournal.com/tag/qaf_story_a%20time%20from%20now

Queer Theories/Queer Realities/Queer Idnetities (Long as crap & still ongoning. I finally had to stop reading it...too much angst for me!)

http://www.fortruthis.com/gaelmcgear/Gaedhalficpage.html

There is also another where Justin has passed away and Brian is with some dude named Cameron. Maybe another member can help you out with this one.

I generally tend to stay away from B/Other as they totally break my heart, but it's kind of like a bad accident...sometimes you just can't look away. I usually have to read a lot of fluffy stuff afterwards to calm myself. I have been trying to 'psych' myself up to finally read "Swamp Fever" and "Burn". I've had it saved for about 2 years now and I keep hearing how good it is & how well written, so I'm about to take the plunge. Wish me luck!

[realbeeotch1.livejournal.com]

I believe the reason why most don't like to read Brian and other is because on the show Brian was never with anyone other than Justin. what I don't get is the writer's that wrote theses story were mean and hateful toward Justin. I for one fine them so boring that they are funny.

[kat-us.livejournal.com]

Kelly,

I know it's hard to believe, but "Swamp Fever" and "Burn" are so well written that I predict you'll soon be saying, 'Justin who?"

Enjoy

Kat :D

Amendment to my earlier post...

The one where I mentioned Justin had passed away & Brian was with someone named Cameron is "Beyond All Reason" by Connorblond and can be found here:

http://connorblond.livejournal.com/tag/beyond%20all%20reason

The author also offers this complete in Word and PDF if you pm her. I haven't read this one yet (because, as I said before, I usually stay away from B/other)but I have read another of her stories & she is a great writer.

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

Kat - I am now on Ch. 15 & I have to say...the way the author introduced the story does take the sting out of the B/Other coupling. I don't think I'll ever find myself saying 'Justin who?' but I think I might be able to actually handle this one. Justin has not been introduced yet, so I don't know how I'll feel when he has to witness B and another. I guess it will all depend on how he handles it.

Just going from the show, I don't ever see Brian giving his heart away to anyone other than Justin. I guess I'm just a diehard B/J shipper, but I always choose to believe after 513, they found one another again. I just can't see him with anyone else, but hey...I'm not so out of touch with reality that I don't realize these are fictional characters but I do tend to get highly emotionally involved. Doesn't speak too highly of my 'real life', huh? Oh well, off to continue this surprisingly good story!

[kat-us.livejournal.com]

Oops, did I write "Justin who?" Believe me, IMHO B/J are my OTP for all eternity.

However, I did indulge in that bit of hyperbole just to emphasize how damn good Brian's AU fiction is. I know I've paid good money over the years for books that couldn't hold a candle to his work. Just sayin'...

*waves*

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

Ah ... she is actually a HE! Just saying ... *g* But thanks for rec-ing the story.

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

My deepest apologies *blushes*. I should never have made an assumption regarding your gender.

I do love your writing and I'm still working up the nerver to read that story. I figure if I can get thru Swamp Fever & Burn with my heart intact I'll give it a try!

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

You are so right about the quality of his writing! I am now on Ch. 62 because I haven't been able to put it down except for necessary sleep.

Not only is the B/B action hot, but the suspense is killing me. That being said, I still don't know how I'm going to feel when Justin is added to the mix.

Oh...and I do love the way Brian got some things off his chest to Mikey & Lindsay (I never could stand either one of them!)

Back to the story...

[bilby10.livejournal.com]

"it could be post 5-13, or simply AU, but I'd like Brian to be in charachter and no need for any kind of drama"

Brian can't be IC and with someone other than Justin, so I hope you found some good AU.

[alucinada2.livejournal.com]

Agree, I was too. I hoped until the end that Brian did it better but he was a son of a bitch and Simon rewarded him over the whole fic. Three years ago and my feeling is the same when I was reading this bitter fic.
Beware, at the end Brian and Justin are together but they truly don´t
How I hate my awful english, I wish I can explain it better

[alucinada2.livejournal.com]

I think the autor is a very good one because how he/she makes us feel,
Justin usually is a poor kid, deaf, blind, VIH...who always goes better but Simon gave him an awful life

[greendaycarry.livejournal.com]

well in my opinio, which is totally perosnnal and pretty changing, I can really easily imagine Justin moving on with his life in NY, and I like to think that Brian can be able to do the same, with probably someone VERY different from Justin in a totally different relationship. But i think Brian really changed from s1 to s5 and even if Justin is breaking his heart, he will be able to love someone else.
And as a matter of fact i found a story (pretty long one so i havn't had the time to go through all the other link) in which Brian is really in charachter and he meets someone that slowly gets over Justin ( who is living his own life in New York)
Anyway I totally understand that it's a matter of point of view and we all have our own perception of the characters, personnaly my perception is contantly changing and I know most of my opinions were influenced by fanwork i read so anyway I don't think there is any 'real and only' truth.

*snickers really hard*

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

shut up! *grumbles*

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I'm LOL'ing for real.

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

Hey. No problem. It happens. He ... you'll love Swamp Fever and Burn and in the end you'll say: Justin, who?

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

He ... love the icon. What concert was that?

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

Well, there is Justin-hate out there. Especially during the early days when there used to be wars between the B/J and B/M shippers. It happens, and really, who cares.

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

Knew you would. *squints at you hard*

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

That was one of the Mass. concerts, when the fan threw the black bra onstage and Adam tied it around Tommy's neck like a bowtie. They were both howling. It was hysterical! Hang on...*digs in vid vault*

Here you go!

It's during the band intro.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Pffft.

You luff me and you know it. Plus, I have all the Tommy pretties. :P

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

Damn you. That you have. *sigh*

*smiles endearingly*

Connor -

I am now on ch. 36 of Burn & like I said in an above post...I don't think I'll ever see the day where I say 'Justin who?' because I just loved him & felt so much for his character on the show. I just can't "realistically" (if there is such a thing when you're speaking of fictional characters) see Brian giving his heart away to anyone other than Justin, but I do realize that these ARE fictional stories & approach them as such.

The writing is definitely of a professional quality and very entertaining but I have to say - my heart is remaining just a little broken by the fact that Brian is experiencing all these feelings with Boyd rather than Justin. I'm sure I'll have to read some fluff when I'm done & then maybe I'll work up the nerve to give yours a try. At least, in yours, Justin isn't around to witness Brian losing his heart to someone else.

I'll let you know when I've shored up my emotions & read yours!!!

[greendaycarry.livejournal.com]

I just finished it, it was really a wonderful story and i love all her character, new ones and old ones, so much!!

[bilby10.livejournal.com]

I am a very biased B/J lover. To me the main story in QAF was the ups and downs of their relationship. Brian never loved anyone in "that way" until Justin got under the wire. Remember that he was already 30! Brian having a romantic relationship with anyone else is AU to me. We never see any evidence that Brian has romantic interest in anyone else aside from J. End of story, as far I'm concerned,

But of course, it is a matter of opinion, and we will just have to agree to disagree. :)

[bilby10.livejournal.com]

Glad you agree.:)

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

I tried to pm you, but couldn't because of privacy settings or something, but I told you I'd let you know when I got my heart ready to read 'Beyond All Reason'. I was pleased to find it was not a heartbreaker, as I always assume it will be with a death fic.

It was truly a wonderful story & I love your writing style (even though it's always bittersweet when it's not BJ).

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it & to ask you to please write another full length BJ story soon!!!

Thanks again for all your hard work to entertain those like myself who, unfortunately, can't write for shit! :)
