something not B&J but still "played" by G&R?

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

You know how there's a vampire story about "Byrant," that sounds a lot like Brian Kinney, and could certainly be played by Gale Harold (and no one else) and there's a minor character that sounds a little like Justin only he spends most of the story being a damsel-in-distress (which I really don't think Justin is) and only at the very very end turns into a vampire slayer, only the Justin-character is minor and the other main character is Clive Owen (well, you know what I mean).

And yesterday I read a story that was about a cop (who could have been played by Gale Harold but was not similar to Brian Kinney in any way except that he was gay) and a psychic (who read like Justin Taylor except that he had dark hair). I liked the chemistry between them, how there was an instant attraction, and how the story was about them solving a problem together, working together. I really, really liked that the story wasn't all about either of them denying there was anything between them.

So I'm wondering, if the mods allow this, if anyone knows of other stories that sound like the main characters are meant to be played by Gale and Randy, whether the characters are or aren't like Brian and Justin? Does that make any sense?


One story found, link in comments. Does anyone know of any others?

I can't help with the second request but the first one is Indifference by the amazing Brian Hennessey. Btw, it's Bryant not Byron.:) I can't give you the link because my computer is older than dirt and I can no longer access it but maybe someone else can help. It's a great read!

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm not looking for "Indifference" (I'd forgotten the title, thanks). I was just trying to use those two stories as examples of what I'd like to read. I'm looking for other stories that are similar to "Indifference" and to that detective story in that the main characters aren't Brian and Justin.

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

Now, you've got me curious...what was the detective story you read?

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

It was "A Reason To Believe" and it was about a tall cop who meets a short (but dark haired) guy who was a psychic and who helps him solve a murder, and totally felt like Gale and Randy were meant to play the characters.

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

Do you remember the author or which fandom? The names of the characters?

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

The cop is named Matt (I think), the short psychic with a great ass is named Kiernan, and the author is Diana Copland. It wasn't in a fandom (the only fandom I read is QAF), it was an "ebook."

Oh! I'll look for it...thanks!

That book was written by a good friend, diana_copland, aka oldenuf2nb. She still writes in the HP fandom, where I know her from. I wrote a review for the book, which is awesome. It's here (http://vlredreign.livejournal.com/105006.html#comments) if you want to check it out.

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

Does she write in the QAF fandom?

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Nope. Only Harry Potter.

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! I'll check it out. Her background(wallpaper)color on her LJ homepage looks exactly like my living room wall color (honeypot!) How cool!

[predec2.livejournal.com]

Do you have a link to that story? Thanks.

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

No, sorry, I don't. Maybe someone else does?

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

The cop story is A Reason To Believe by diana_copland and is an e-book that was released a couple months ago.

[predec2.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the information.:)

Is the story called Gone? If it is then it's also by Brian Hennessey Chapter one is here http://big-brian-o.livejournal.com/77188.html

Hugs xx

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

...I've read "Gone." It's the kind of thing I'm looking for, except I'd like to know of stories that would focus on the characters played by Gale and Randy. In "Gone," the love story is between Gale's character and an original character, while the character Randy would play is a minor part (and kind of plays damsel-in-distress).

Uhm, I'm not looking for a specific story, I'm just wondering if there are other stories out there people can recommend that are about characters that would be played by G & R, and focus on those two characters.

[yvonnereid.livejournal.com]

That's typical,I read your post wrong lol. Well, I hope someone can provide the goods - Yvonne xx

[peripety]

I'm not sure if this qualifies as what you are looking for, but it's a story based on the part Gale played on the TV show Vanished, and the part Randy played in the TV movie Bang Bang You're Dead (you don't have to have seen either to follow the story). It's at AO3 http://archiveofourown.org/works/209581/chapters/313439

[kmboatright.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That story is nicely done! I like how Sean's attracted to him from the moment he sees him, and thinks Kelton is straight.

Yes, that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. Know anything else like that? (not necessarily Kelton & Sean)

Please update your post.

I just read a book by J.L. Langley titled Without Reservations. This time the Justin-like character was very similar in looks and personality. I was a little hesitant because it's a werewolf book, but that seemed very minor. I enjoyed it just as much as Copland's book.

If you find any more similar books, please don't hesitate to share.
