Spoiler-Free Recs set early in S1

[mysid.livejournal.com]

An LJ-friend has just discovered the porny-goodness that is Queer as Folk. She's only seen the few couple of episodes so far, but plans to (slowly) watch the rest of the season. (She has to watch when Hubby isn't home as it isn't his thing.)

I'd love to rec her some really good fanfic, but she's requested that no one spoil her for the episodes she hasn't seen. So, please rec your S1 favorites, and if you could, indicate which epidsode/events the fanfic spoils (ex. "set after Justin runs away to NYC", or "spoilers through 107"). I'll pass them along to her with spoilers indicated by episode number.

Thank you!

Update: Many good suggestions in the comments, but more are always welcome (especially if you want to vouch for the quality of the rec). Thank you to all who commented!

Here are two by reinabelle that I just happened across while rambling through someone's Memories. Both are early season 1 and written in response to Paddies' FOMD (fic of my dreams) challenge for "Justin's firsts." These don't have anything to do with an ep.

I Sing the Body Electric (http://reinabelle.livejournal.com/2537.html)

Paddies' FOMD (http://www.queereyes.net/fanfic/fic-of-my-dreams/) entries. This isn't complete. Ethan, for example, did (I think) one for every request and so did a couple of other authors, but I don't remember who now. All are probably set in season 1; I didn't go back to check if any are directly related to an episode.
