Melanie chooses Brian as the father AU, Brian/Emmett & Brian/Ted friendships, and Emmett fics

[annie-eliza.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if I could ask if anyone can recommend fics that sort of fit these scenarios.


1. Instead of deciding to go with Michael, Melanie chooses Brian as the father. Maybe they form a better friendship along the way.

2. I checked through the tags a month ago, but I would like some good friendship stories between Brian and Emmett, preferably when Brian isn't doing all that well (post 2x22 or post 5x13 or possibly something bad happens to Justin) or maybe Emmett isn't doing so well and Brian is actually the one who takes initiative to spend time with him. I have found more of Brian and Ted, but I will also take stories of them in a similar scenario as well. RECS POSTED BELOW

3. Any fics tell about Emmett's backstory? We hear snippets of Aunt Lula and getting matches thrown at him in the locker room, but I would like something to center around Emmett and his past. It can be pre-series, in-series, or post. It would be great if the rest of the gang was in it and helped him out though. Rec by gaedhal below


Also, I am a huge Brian/Justin shipper so if they are the main or side couple in any of these fics, that is completely fine. Also, hurt/comfort and angst are also wonderful (and sadistic) things.

Unfortunately I don't have a fic to recommend. I just wanted to say that I would love to read a fic where Melanie chooses Brian as the father. It didn't make any sense to me that she chose Michael. I hope someone's written a fic like that and if not someone should.
If I come across something, I'll let you know.

Thank you! Yeah, I understand her relationship with Brian isn't the best, but he is the father of their first child and did help them out a lot financially and sign his parental rights over. If not Brian, I would think Ted would be her next choice. He and Mel seemed close throughout the series and they didn't know about his addiction problems when they chose Michael.

However, if there isn't a story like that out there I do have an idea for one. I have been writing original stuff for a while and haven't done fanfic in years. It may help my writers block.

Oh, that would be wonderful! Have you ever written QAF fic?

[annie-eliza.livejournal.com]

No, I am pretty new to the fandom. I started watching the show in February, finished it in a little over a month. Then I moved back home after I graduated college and introduced it to my mom. So I am completely obsessed now.

When it comes to fanfic writing, I started with Harry Potter when I was really young (around 10 years old, oh I wish I could find it and judge it now) and then moved on to Supernatural and Veronica Mars. That was probably six or seven years ago though. I did write some for Sherlock but I never published it. I will message you when I start it and give you a heads up!

Thank you! Looking forward to it.

I will let you know when I start it!
