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.

I don't have any specific ones to rec for Emmett, but maybe have a skim through the AO3 Emmett tags (http://archiveofourown.org/works/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&work_search%5Bquery%5D=emmett+honeycutt)? Let us know if you find anything fabulous! ;)

Will do! :) I don't know if I checked the Ao3 Emmett tags or not. Sometimes I get discouraged on finding something not completely centered around Brian/Justin. Don't get me wrong, they are one of my favorite pairings of all time and my favorite on QAF plus I am usually searching for fics about them anyway.

However, they tend to dominate most searches of other characters because those other characters appear in B/J's grand love stories. Like I will search Emmett and get several one-shots about Brian/Justin and Emmett makes an appearance. I would love to find one where Emmett is the main character and Brian and/or Justin make an appearance.
