Okay, so I have this problem with AUs. I mean, I LIKE AU's, I just have a lot of trouble finding ones that appeal to me. So, once again, I was hoping for you guys' help. I prefer my stories nc-17, long or at LEAST 2,000 words, and complete (but if the WIP is updated regularly, that's fine too).
Now, I know I'm only supposed to put three things I like here, so I thought it would be helpful if I told you all what I absolutely can't stand in fic as well: watersports, scat, infidelity (tricking doesn't count, I mean cheating after they've decided to be exclusive), crossdressing, one of the boys getting sick or dying, one of the boys being a hooker or escort, the boys' ages being reversed, so much angst that the entire story makes me cry, historical stuff, and any fic in which one of the boys' have any kind of eating disorder.
So now for my requests:
1) Anything supernatural - I've been looking at confused_bliss' fics but I don't really know where to start, they all look great. I wouldn't mind ya'll letting me know your favorite of hers as well as reccing some other authors' stuff.
2) Anything with kids - stories in which the boys have children AFTER they get together, whether they end up with custody of Gus or Brian's nephews, they use a surrogate, Brian get's Justin preggers (not the other way around please), whatever. Please nothing with either guy having custody of a child BEFORE meeting, though.
3) Anything Anti-Lindsay - I hate her, as far as I'm concerned she tore Brian and Justin apart. So anything with lots of Lindsay bashing is love, guys. Thanks!
Well, that's all ... thank you, everyone.
UPDATE: Lots of recs in comments, more always welcome! Thank ya'll!

Date: 2013-03-19 06:40 am (UTC)I belong to/watch over 5 different fandoms. While there's usually a rec list out there, I tend to ask where the best archive for that particular fandom's fics can be found. Once I have that, I go fic hunting. My list of 'do not want's' isn't as long as yours, but I have no problem finding what I want. A good place to go might be AO3. I'm sure QAF people are posting there now. And they have a pretty good tag list for fics that's right there on the first page so that you can check to see if the story might interest you. I'd also check Skyhawke, although I don't know what the quality there is these days. It used to be invitation only back in the day. I don't trust Fanfiction.net, but that's because I only searched for HP fic there, and there were about 3 that I'd ever read.
I read a lot. Maybe not as much as you, but I've been in fandoms for a very long time. Finding fics is fun. But to ensure that I find what I want to read, I tend to do it myself.
Um ...

Date: 2013-03-19 01:28 pm (UTC)julesmonster has a great one about shifters.
I wrote one about hybrids.
And there is a creepy but I highly recommend "colder than skin" vampire fic that is very graphic ...so not for the easily freaked.
Midnight whispers has a vampire category so you can find quite a few there.

Date: 2013-03-19 02:45 pm (UTC)Secrets by Adoringaudience. It is Brian and Justin meeting as teenagers. I know it’s not what you have requested, but just in case you’re interested. She also wrote some of if not the best stories of the two with children after they have gotten together. Just go to her LJ:

An excellent AU/Supernatural fic and my dream story – The House of Good Intentions by Lemon Bar:

My favorite completed anti-Lindsay --THE GREAT DIVIDE by Nightvision55:
http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1789
Last but not least, I just finished reading Miko’s fics again. There are all completed except one and written years ago. Her stories almost define AU. She has every category you could want except Mpreg.

I go to rec lists every now and then; they are very helpful, but I also discover that if I find a story I like, I tend to enjoy all the rest of that author’s stories. All the authors I have listed fit that category. There are still so many great stories out there. I will read one genre of stories for days or one author at a time. I also go to the tags on this site. That is how I found most of my stories. I think Besame was my first obsession.
It comes down to no matter what is rec’d, you will have more fun discovering who and what you like.
Oh, Moonshadow Tribe, AO3, and true Queer Love for Galeandrandy. No one does Mpreg like her, but Butterfly tiger is a close second.
Good luck!

I've been under-the-weather lately and submerging myself in captivating completed stories help me past the time. I can now understand not wanting to search for just the right story when you can barely keep your eyes open. I hope these help.
