Gaedhal's fics

Mods, I apologise if this is an inappropriate post: please delete it if I'm stepping over any lines.

I've been following Gaedhal's latest QT stream, Coup de Foudre, only guess what? It looks like it may not be completed because of all the hostile comments the author's been getting because - get this - people don't like it being a B/J story! They're all sick of Justin, apparently, and Gaedhal's beginning to wonder if it's worth going on in the fandom if tastes have now swung so far that nobody wants to read anything B/J centred.

I don't want to kick off any Brian v Justin arguments, only to say that if you've enjoyed Gaedhal's wonderful fics then perhaps you could express your appreciation before we lose another great author from the fandom.

Sorry again if I shouldn't have commented on this here.

All three parts, "Queer Theories," "Queer Realities,"
and "Queer Identities" are finished and on line:

Index for all my fics:

"Coup de Foudre" is actually a post-513 fic (ten years post),
a sequel to "The End of 'The Evil Stream'" and "Creekside
Canyon."

Thanks! As I mentioned I just finished main-lining QT, QR & QI... and am just about to finish yet another re-read of Medium Security. (BTW, will The Outsiders ever be finished?)

The new streams you have indicated - Coup, Creekside etc - are they part of the QT verse? Do the letters and decades listed in the index indicate that the stories all work togther, or is it simply a way of showing a time frame, and not necessarily that they are part of the same verse?

I am in desperate need of a roadmap... I don't know where to read next, LOL!

They follow canon after 513, except with the same backstory
of Brian going to NYC and meeting Ron when he was 16, and
then coming back to the Pitts and continuing with the "normal"
Stream of QAF, right up to 513. The so-called "Evil Stream"
is actually canon QAF (the title is meant to be ironic, of course!).
So it and "Creekside Canyon are essentially post-513 fics.

"Coup de Foudre" (which means struck by lightning), is 10
years after, taking place in 2016.

I hope that clarifies things.

Thanks, yes... it does help.

I actually started just reading from the top of the list last night, so I'm in the middle of "Wayfarers" right now! But I will get back to the others!
