I decided I would go ahead and make one more post after all, so here it is. Three more requests:
1) While I love to hate on Chris Hobbs as much as any B/J fan, I've also always felt sorry for him. My personal interpretation of his character has always been that he is a closet case in love with Justin, and that the real reason behind the bashing was pure jealousy. So I would like some recs in which he comes to terms with himself and his feelings and, while I do NOT want him to end up involved with Justin sexually at all outside of the canon handjob, I would definitely like to see Brian and Justin both help him and for him to end up happy and over his crush on Justin. I would still like a lot of focus to be on B/J, though, because that is always going to be the main reason I read Queer As Folk fic in the first place. I don't care about the time period here - it could be before the Prom and the bashing not happening at all, or it could be after and Justin and Brian have to find a way to truly forgive Chris and help him. Basically, I want to see Chris grow the hell up and learn to be happy with who he is with help from our favorite couple.
2) Jealousy, possessiveness, and protectiveness are some of my favorite things in fic. On the show, we see plenty of jealousy in Justin even if it isn't always totally obvious, but Brian actually seems to want Justin to be with other men and I've always hated that. Occasionally there are little hints of him being jealous over Justin, but that's never really satisfied me. So I want to see Brian get really, truly jealous over and possessive and protective of Justin, both in private and in public. I want to see him stake his claim. As I mentioned, though, I've already been through the tags and all sorts of other places several times so the less well-known the fics you rec are, the better. I consider it a bonus if the boys end up becoming exclusive, and a major bonus if they eventually ditch the condoms and start doing it raw, which is yet another huge kink of mine.
3) It really burns me up the way Brian gets treated on the show. It seems to me that his adoptive family blames him for absolutely everything even when he doesn't even know about it before they start in on him, that they expect him to fix all of their problems without ever thanking him, and that a lot of the time they're just downright cruel. For example, there is the way Debbie and Mel especially call him 'Asshole' all the time as if that's his actual name. Seeing as the entire family knows enough about Brian to know his biological family always treated him horribly, especially Debbie and Michael, I sometimes wish I could beat them all up. Brian never defends himself, either, likely due to his belief that he's worthless and his determination not to let anyone see that he is capable of hurting just like any human being. So I want to see Brian stand up for himself, or see Justin stand up for him, and have the family actually realize how horrible they've been to Brian and start treating him right without embarrassing him with apologies or treating him like they pity him or something instead of just being sorry and trying to make amends without making him too uncomfortable in the process. Oh, and finally thanking them for everything he's done for them, not just through words but also through actions. I want them to be a real family to him instead of just a slightly better option than what he had with his biological family.
This is from the previous post to remind you of my basic tastes:
I've been spending a lot of time looking through the community tags here as well as looking through other sites like Across The Pond, FanFiction.Net, etc. and I'm beginning to have serious trouble finding Brian/Justin stories I want to read either again or for the first time, so I was really hoping to get some help. First of all I should say that I prefer NC-17 fics that are completed or are still being regularly updated and are at least two thousand words long, although I prefer longer fic for the most part. Things I don't touch with a ten foot pole are stories with scat, watersports, permanent major character death (either Brian or Justin), infidelity (not necessarilly tricking, but cheating after becoming monogomous), unhappy endings, and AUs that are historical or where the boys' ages are reversed. Other than that I go for pretty much everything. Oh, and if the story is especially great, I don't mind a lower rating.
Also, this particular statement is true for this post as well:
Okay, now normally I wouldn't ask for this, but since these requests are a bit vague I was hoping you guys would include a little information for each rec you give me. It doesn't need to be a full blown summary or anything, just an idea of what the fic is about. Thank you all for your help, I really don't know what I'd do without this community. Take care everyone!
Thank you all for your help!
UPDATE: There are quite a few recs now, but more are always welcome! Thanks, everyone!

Date: 2013-03-10 02:29 am (UTC)As far as a jealous Brian goes, if I may suggest one of mine called "It's Only Polite to Share," it involves Brian and Justin working together at Kinnetik and keeping their relationship a secret from the other employees when another man hits on Justin. You might like that one:

There's a sequel to it where the shoe is on the other foot, too, called "Color Me Green:" http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1688
Good luck with your search - hope you find some stories to enjoy!
*Hugs* ~Kim

Date: 2013-03-12 01:03 am (UTC)I have many stories tagged as favorites, but I’m still not quite sure if they would be acceptable. I have searched through old and new fics for exactly what you are looking for each day, but I don’t know which ones you have already read. It could be the reason no one has rec’d anything, either that or that no one else cares for those types of stories. ;)
I would love to see a listing of some of the stories you have that fit your categories. In the meantime, I‘ll show you a few of what I have, but not all of them are my favorites.
First request -- My thoughts exactly of Chris Hobbs. Yet this has rarely been touched upon in fanfiction. I have read a few stories where Chris asked Justin for forgiveness.
“…Brian have to find a way to truly forgive Chris and help him.”
That would not be my cup of tea but Rizabeau has a story that was done really well: Spring Fever:
http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=644
It’s a sequel to “New Year”. It also has the some aspect of jealousy.
There is another excellent one those with Chris’ obsession with Justin:
The Fault Lies by AHS http://archiveofourown.org/works/274152
"Author's Note:
I don't know how many people want to read Hobbs pov fics, but as much as I hate Hobbs I have always been fascinated by him. So... this."
“It wasn’t your fault. There was something wrong with him. Boys aren’t supposed to be pretty like that.”
The last one may be exactly what you are looking for:
Second Chances: http://aj-socks.livejournal.com/861.html
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: AU 214
Summary: Chris Hobbs was supposed to be out of his life, but when Justin leaves Sap's party drugged and disoriented he runs into his former school nemesis. One good deed cannot erase years of hurt can it? Everyone needs a second chance...
Hmm… I have to go watch Mad Men. I’ll be back later, but now that I have shown you mine…LOL.
Thanks!

Some of the links are through the wayback machine but I just checked them and they work. I know there are a lot more out there but I don’t have them tagged on my computer yet.

Again it’s like we share the same brain with this one. I didn’t realize that there where so many of them. I can’t thank blklizard enough.
Predec2 often does jealousy and does it very well. I love her fics because she always writes Brian and Justin the way I would like to see them. The stories are always safe for me in that I won’t be irritated with her characterization of the two. Here are a few that may have not been not mentioned before:
The Office Secret
Summary:
Post Ep. 309 AU. Justin's relationship to Brian is being kept private from his other employees. Will it remain that way when Christmas comes?
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=2594
The Three Birdsongs of Brian Kinney
Summary:
Just an early, little one-shot in honor of Valentine's Day involving the changing relationship between our two boys. Perhaps a little OOC for Brian....
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1613
Footloose: QAF Style
Summary:
Justin's finds himself in a new role, but Brian doesn't do jealous - or does he?
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1592&warning=5
Heartstrings
Summary:
An unexpected meeting causes misunderstanding; can love prevail before it's too late?
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1581
Going, Going, Gone
Summary:
Justin's artwork garners attention from a secret admirer; guess who isn't pleased?
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1567
BIG DUH! confused_bliss… How could I have forgotten? Almost all of her stories cover all three of your criteria. Here’s her web page:

Now I’m going to copy all the fine stories blklizard has provided. I must really thank you for your request.

Ooh!
