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

[pebsa31.livejournal.com]

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?

Check out "Full Circle" by bdeviled. One of my faves of all time! It's a forever WIP, but it ends in a good place. (Sorry about not giving a link, but I'm commenting from my phone.)

Check out the ¨In Love Again¨. It´s not anti-anybody.

"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.

Thanks for the suggestions NTUA, Natkinnat and SandraJ60. I'll check them out. @SandraJ60, you're right. That's my problem with so many other stories. It's totally realistic that first loves don't always end up together, so I don't mind reading them, but so many B/J other stories make one or the other a villain or a lifelong basket case, instead of just a natural progression of life's twists and turns. I am however a total B/J ending up happily ever after girl, but I can appreciate that you may have other experiences in love in your life, so I like those stories too

I have to got to go to work the vampire shift and was checking to see where they were sending me when I took a gander at this site. You're welcome to Sean and Vin. I only rec the best, LOL.

Now, I did not want to give away Sungaizing's story. One of the reasons the story is so good is that it is not exactly what you expected. I enjoyed the surprise at the end. DON"T SPOIL IT PEOPLE! (Sorry, I get so emotional about that, :))

Cheburashka2's story was different in that I cursed one character for the breakup and thought it justified, until I read the end.

Oops! Gotta go.

There's a fic entitled "Remember Me" by Predec2 - it starts after 5x13 B/J, but then something tragic happens, and it goes into Justin/other territory. It's an amnesia fic, but so well done, it's definitely worth a read if you're willing to check it out!

Author's summary: A traumatic event changes Brian's and Justin's lives. Can they find a way to be reunited before it's too late? Justin/Brian. NOT a death fic. Does have Justin/OC for a while - you've been warned - LOL!
