Looking for long, scrupulously & painstakingly in-character, angsty, realistic, post 5-13 fics

[queerasfray.livejournal.com]

(Confession alert!) I'm having trouble finding the "right" post-series fic. I've started several that seemed quite promising at first but then later went off the reservation character-wise. It's a bummer to start a multi-chaptered fic only to have it wander off into the tangled wilderness of OoC land. I'm not particularly a fan of fluff (especially Fluffy!Brian) or nothing but sex-sex-sex 24/7. I'm looking for something gritty and real and angsty, and the longer, the better. I want something that is going to totally engross me and satisfy my bottomless need for The Feels.

Thanks ahead of time!

ETA: Wow! Thank you all for the response! Some great suggestions in the comments!

My favorite Post513 FF (which kicks off with the end of the series) is the "You and Me Series by great Soulmatejunkee. The perfect sequel to the series and the reason why I stayed QAF fan.

I especially love the "Finding Utopia Series" by the wonderful Sapphire. It begins one year after the series end.

I'm in the middle of the "You and Me" series and am enjoying it (in fact it gave me the idea for my most recent story). Thank you for the recs :)
