Justin lives with Ben & Michael, dates Brian

[withthedust.livejournal.com]

Hello,

I'm looking for an AU fic in which Justin lived with (or was staying with) Michael and Ben. Brian needed to find a date for a business function so invites Justin. I think Justin insists on being paid. I've tried the hustler!Justin tag but I think since Justin isn't exactly hustling in this story it isn't there. If it helps, I think I originally read it on Livejournal.

Thanks!

update - not found but more details thanks to fictionbycereza: Justin is definitely not a hustler but is paid by Brian to attend functions with Senator Baxter, who takes a shine to Justin. Justin keeps rejecting Brian's advances

found thanks to rznbloodrose - link in comments

Is it maybe Hunter Plus One by Jasper?

PS- I do vaguely remember a fic where Justin is kind of an escort of some sort (don't think sex is involved) to older, richer men and Brian kind of buts head with him at an event but I don't really recall Justin living with M and B but it might have happened. Does this ring a bell? I think I've read this on over on Moonshadow tribe.

Hello, thank you for replying! Hunter Plus One is not it, but thanks - I will read it anyway.

I'm pretty sure Justin is not technically a hustler in this story - maybe he only takes payment from Brian to annoy him?

sorry, this was pretty much the only one I knew with Justin living with B and M and Hunter for a while.

Good luck with the search,
Lee

Sungaizing85 - I think the one you are referring to is Futility by Kachelofen. Justin is an escort and runs into Brian in NYC. Great story.

Oh I love Futility but that's actually not the one I had in mind since in this one Justin and Brian never met before. I do remember a scene where Justin and Craig confront each other at one of the events...I think Justin is actully dating these guys to piss of his father and mess with his company or something. Ahhhhhh, my brain is fryed...so can't remember even the blasted title of it.

Thank you though,
Lee

Shadows - if it's the one you're thinking of - Brian knows Craig through the business world

It's so awful because I (think I) know which fic you're talking about, but for the love of me I can't find it! Justin isn't a hustler in it, he's a student, he goes to PIFA just like in canon. Brian and Justin make a deal that Justin will be paid for going with Brian. Justin doesn't like Brian very much and shoots him down each time Brian's coming onto him. I think the senator from season one (was her name Baxter?) is Brian's account and she likes Justin so much that Brian is forced to start taking Justin to all functions she'll be attending.

The story's on LJ, in someone's memories. The chapters are pretty short and it's never been finished. I thought it might have been Josselin's or Starla's, since they have some WIP in their memories but I didn't find this fic among their works (maybe I missed it but it's unlikely).

I'm sorry that I can't provide you with a link but maybe with this more detailed description someone else will be able to help :)

Thank you - that sounds exactly what I was thinking of so at least I know I'm not imagining it! Hopefully your clearer summary will help to jog someone's memory.

wow... I can't believe no one knew this fic...

I'm sure it's Joke (http://not-nearly.livejournal.com/53617.html) by josselin

[withthedust.livejournal.com]

That's it! Thank you so much

The story ends abruptly after chapter 17. Is there more to the story? Is is a WIP?
