Must-reads for a newbie?/Commuter Flight Stories pdf

[notrightbutokay.livejournal.com]

Hello everybody! I just started reading QaF fics and would really appreciate it if you'd share your favorites with me. Preferably long, multi-chapter Brian/Justin fics.

Also, I'm looking for the pdf version of "Commuter Flight Stories" by netfics. Does anyone have it?

UPDATE: Pdf version for the Commuter Flight Stories is found. Thank you very much.

I'm rather saddened that most of the classics haven't been rec'd to you. They are absolutely must-reads in this fandom. There are a few that most people would never rec, due to content, such as death fics. I'm not a huge fan of death fics, but there are a few that you simply must read.

Counting Blue Cars (http://mclachlan.livejournal.com/26054.html) by mclachlan. This is sort of a death fic, but not in the traditional sense. It is a beautiful story, and mclachlan is/was one of the best writers in this fandom.

Subject To Change (http://soundczech.livejournal.com/59991.html) by soundczech. Brian moved to NY after 120, he and Justin meet again years later.

Queer Survivor (http://josselin.livejournal.com/22413.html) by josselin Brian joins Queer Survivor. Yes, it's pretty much crack, but it's IC and...it's hysterical.

A couple from bigboobedcanuck:

From A Safe Distance (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/150768.html) This is an HIV-scare story, set post 414, when Justin is in LA doing Rage.

Time Only Knows (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/238804.html) Brian and Justin are in a car accident. The rest is BBC brilliance.

Out From Inside (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/272279.html) and the sequel To Face Unafraid. These two stories are commonly known as "Dead!Lesbians-verse". Sad but beautiful.

I'm gonna wrap this up with a HUGE fic by plumsuede called Everything At Once (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=plumsuede&keyword=Everything+At+Once&filter=all). It's set right at the end of 414 when Brian asks Justin to move in. This fic is long, angsty, beautiful and everything that makes Brian and Justin...Brian and Justin. I would have rec'd her magnum opus Embark/Framed/Beyond The Yellow Brick Road, which, in my opinion, is one of the best fics in this fandom period. It's not finished, but is at a stopping point in the fic that doesn't feel like a cliffhanger. Let me know if you want to tackle that, and I'll link you.
