Holiday Relationship AU - (Found a few recs in comments)

[adoringaudience.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for AU stories where Brian and Justin meet while one or both of them is/are vacationing. They start a relationship like that, meeting up regularly at the place where they met (or someplace else). Maybe they even keep the relationship a secret from their respective friends? But that's not a necessity.

Any stories like that out there? Couldn't find a tag.
Thanks to everyone who can help.

You're not the only one. The request was actually inspired by a story I betad this week. :)

There's one that's similar to your request:

Same Time, Next Year by Cheburashka2

Brian and Justin go their separate ways after their first night together, both thinking that that was it for them. Fate, however, has other plans and keeps throwing the boys together around the same time once a year.

There's one where they first meet in Chicago and Brian keeps Justin a secret from the rest of the gang. Darn, I'm going to have to create a tag for those type of stories.

Anyway, I'm dying to find stories exactly like you described.

The story you linked is not finished yet, or is it? Do you know if it's still being updated?

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

It's been a while, but the author said that she plans on finishing the story. The other story I'm trying to think of was completed, but I can't remember the title and it is killing me.

What's the one I read where they met somewhere on the ?West? coast and Justin has a shop that Brian's looking for an unique gift? Or am I mixing two stories up? Pain meds will do that :)

I am trying to think of one I read a long time ago. I believe it was one of moonshadow woman's, but I'm not sure. Maybe that's the one you're thinking of too.

There's 'The Boys of Summer' by Moonshadow Woman -

I know there are others with this theme lurking in the back of my mind . . .

THE MASK

[duffy-60.livejournal.com]

The story where Brian meets Justin in Chicago is called "The Mask."

Here's the addy to Sidney's QAF fic page. Just scroll down to get the chapters to the story.

Happy reading, if you haven't already read it.

The Mask, you're right. Thank you so much. I didn't realize it was by the same author as Healing. I love that story and it is appropriately tagged now never to be lost again -- hopefully.

Many XXXs

Check tags under "b/j vacation fic" and "b/j secret relationship" :)

And I always think of Eye of the Beholder (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/GF/Eye.htm) by Gina for meeting on vacation fic. Though technically one is vacationing and one is working (blind!masseuse!Justin) lol.

Thank you so much for the rec! I promise I will finish it. My deepest apologies to those who've been following it for the long delay between updates. *hangs head in shame*

Cheers,
Vin

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well I was hoping to guilt you into finishing, LOL.

It's a good and well written story so I would love to read more, but I know how RL can get in the way.

Ho hum... I'll just keep reading what you have in the meantime.

[cheburashka-2.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! I'm hard at work, I promise you. My goal is to either finish or continue (as in seriously move the story) all my current WIPs by New Year. And one of my New Year's resolutions will be to NEVER work on more than one story again and get myself into a "mess" like this one.

Cheers,
Vin

Please update your post.

Re: THE MASK

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

Just fyi, sydneyalexis (author of Healing) took over writing of The Mask starting with Ch. 18. The fic site linked above is sian265 aka monjouet's (as is the fic up to that point).
