Brian/Other, Justin/Other but NOT Anti/Justin, Anti/Brian

Hi, I've looked through the tags and read some, but can anyone suggest fics where maybe Brian and Justin don't end up together (initially) but move on and find other loves and happiness and remain friends, maybe even get back together in the end..  Absolutley no anti/Justin or anti/Brian fic.  I've read The Other Foot by Simon(what Justin was that?, and it sickened me a little, LOL), and tried to read Better Friends and Lovers by Arwensong (Justin an unrecognizable asshole and too much other stuff going on). The Other Foot almost prompted me to write a counter fanfic of my own because I was so disturbed, but I read One Foot In Front of The Other by Mouse which was counter to The Other Foot so I felt better.  Loved Swamp Fever and Burn (but it took me a while to get over the potrayal of Justin but he came out fine in the end) so those were great.  

So, yeah, to wrap this up, I don't mind Brian/other, Justin/other  without either of them ending up being unrecognizable assholes because of it. And they can end up together, but they don't have to. Anyone?

"Absolutley no anti/Justin or anti/Brian fic."

I feel you. I love Justinlovesart's story because it was exactly what I was looking for. There was another one I read but cannot remember the name or author. If I ever find it, I will post it. In the meantime, Cheburashka2's Persistence of Memory is an excellent one:

The problem with /other stories is that someone is usually considered the bad person when they breakup the relationship. Think Justin leaving for Ethan.

There is probably a BJ/other tag to look under also.

I found the tags; I just can't link them:


pairing: brian/other, pairing: justin/other and then there's pairing: Brian/other, paring w/emo and one for Justin.
