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!

Not too many for S1 here, but he's got all seasons covered, so one to keep for as your friend goes through the seasons. Ethan's Gapfillers (http://web.archive.org/web/20090403022913/http://www.xhaleslowly.com/qaf/fanfic/gap.html)

Another to keep bookmarked is Sev's Memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=severina2001&keyword=Fanfic%3A%20Queer%20as%20Folk&filter=all) page, which is organized by ep.

Xie's got some in her index (http://xie-xie-xie.insanejournal.com/51270.html).

I should go back and read some of these sometime. I tend to like later-time fic, so I probably haven't read most of these since the very first time I read them. ;)

also, twistinside has some in her memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=twistinside82&keyword=GAPFILLERPALOOZA!&filter=all)
