Long stories with Teenage/Adult Gus as main character

Hi there!

I am looking for long stories with Gus as one of the main characters. It can be Gus POV stories as well. He can be a teenager or an adult (if he turns out to be gay that's a definite plus!)

I have already read the following awesome stories: "how we got where we are going" by allie-quixotic, "Healing" by Sydney Alexis, the "Karma" series by mickiebg, the story where Gus is dating Brandon and "Gus diaries". I have been looking at the tags "Gus gay or bi" and "gus teenager" and "gus adult". I am just wondering if any NEW (or old but lost) long stories have been written with Gus in them. 

Thank you very much!!

Seren


FOUND ABOUT 15 STORIES!! Thank you so so much! You are amazing! If you find more, don't hesitate to add:)

I don't know any other "long" ones but moonbrightnites has some great ones:

The Break Up http://moonbrightnites.livejournal.com/7407.html
Three Pronged Plan http://moonbrightnites.livejournal.com/7007.html
Family Stories http://moonbrightnites.livejournal.com/16835.html

They're all really great.

I have one that is the start of a long fiction universe called family man on MW http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=2235&warning=10

It's a one-shot for now but I'm working on more.

Hope that helps

If you haven't read [livejournal.com profile] myrna1_2_3's Growing Up Kinney (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=myrna1_2_3), then you really need to. This is also known as 'blind!Justin' fic. The link goes to her Memories page with the story links for each chapter. It used to be at Queer Eyes, but they don't have that one back up yet. Gus isn't gay in this, but he's a teen, and a right little shit.

A great fic by tinkabelle, Like Father, Like Son (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/5FlkaVoU/_online.html?&rnd=53#dir=0) - AU where Brian and Lindsay had Gus as teenagers. 17 years later Gus hooks up with Justin at a club and that's how Brian and Justin first meet.

And of course, Growing Up Kinney by Myrna (here as Blind!Justin (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=myrna1_2_3))

May I suggest a couple of mine if you haven't read them? Gus is a teenager in both of them, and is featured prominently in the second one as a gay teen experiencing his first crush/boyfriend:

There's also an excellent story featuring a 17-year-old Gus called "Persistence of Memory" by Cheburashka2 on MW - here's the link to that:

http://sadie-says-fics.livejournal.com/7028.html I have one here, at my fic community. It is a one-shot. And not deep. But I love older!Gus. :)

Hi, in the Rhapsody Series Gus is a main character. The story is told in he, Justin and Brian's points of view. The first part of the series Tenebrosity & Sfumato Memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=rhapsody_series&keyword=Rhapsody%20Series%3A%20Numerical%20Reading%20Order&filter=all) are here. It is not yet completely posted but will be by the end of November. It may take you that long to read it if you do, because it is a very long fic.
Just make sure you read the warnings.

What does ngl mean?
An acronym I don't know... wow. LOL

I cry while writing every one, for one reason or another. I'm actually going to post the next chapter in just a little while have to finish uploading the music for the next chapter first though.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you. :)

I'm passing through, so I don't know if it was mentioned, but what about The Gus Diarie? It has at least 156 chapters, and he has a boyfriend:

http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/ShF/Gus.htm

There is another one: The Seduction of Justin Taylor. Gus has a crush on Justin. I think it's in one of the 4-Shared folders. And what about "Sometimes Only a Starbucks Latte Will Do" by sonofabiscuit77 and The Lamest Most Half-Assed Plan in the Universe and The Most Boring New Year's Eve Party Ever, which are the the second and third parts:

http://qaf-challenges.livejournal.com/19794.html

I can't find the link for the first part. (I've been tagging my stories. It makes things so much easier to find, but I don't always have the links.)

Don't forget the Survival Tactics series by discothequey:

http://archiveofourown.org/series/14426

So far, I found that story having the best characterization of Gus. He isn't a clone of Brian nor Justin nor Hunter.

My second favorite Gus story, is of course, The Healing, but you already read that. :)

Survival tactics is amazing--I wish it was finished! I really love all of her stuff.

[identity profile] angkat114.livejournal.com 2012-10-25 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm still hoping, though. Haha.

But even if it never gets finished, I'm still happy having read it.

*time to re-read* :)
