B/J a power couple?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you know fics where brian and justin are equal when it comes to their careers?

because the majority of the fics i've read have brian being all rich and successful already and justin's either a hustler, a student, a starving artist looking for a job or just some random joe. I mean even if it's canon, they always make justin just average. you know what I mean? haha anyway, I'm just looking for fics where maybe they're both already established in their careers and they're both already well known. I guess maybe it would have to be post 513, but AU's are okay too. Whatever you guys can give me is fine.

I also read one where they were described as being a power couple? so yeah, that's it. If you can help me find this 'power couple' fic and also fics that have them on equal footing, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Links of some stories are in the comments. Still looking for that 'power couple' fic though.:)

At the risk of pimping my own story, (which is exactly what I am doing) You might like my story Broken Open. Though Brian is a tad more successful in his profession, Justin is the stronger, more trained of the two.

Anyway, maybe you'll like it.

Thanks Toto! I hope you like the new story, I've posted 3 chapters and already lost readers. :-( They are not liking the premise, they are also not trusting me. :-)

If you read it, please let me know if you pick up the clues I dropped, especially in chpt. 3

Thanks!
Gina

OK, so I just realized that I never read the first three installments in the series. (How did that happen??? LOL!)
So I'm going to start there first and then I'll have this new story to look forward to!

Seconded! I've read it twice and re-read some fave scenes multiple times. One of the best fics ever written!

I'm not sure how many chapters. You know me, I let the story take me where it wants to go. It's a tad different than the others, but it's been festering inside me so I had to get it out!

I'll let you know when it's finished. So glad you like B.O.! I was worried about that one too since it was not in the BTWYTWY series, but ppl seem to like it!

Always you is part of the BTWYTWY series.
