B/J in debt after Stockwell's defeat & M steals from Justin

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

For the life of me,and I know as soon as someone finds it I'll feel like a complete idiot, I can't remember the name of a fic I read a while ago. It's where Brian and Justin are in debt over their battle against Stockwell so he'd lose the campaign,and Justin is only getting a couple hundred dollars from his share of the Rage profits that Mickey's in charge of. Brian goes over the contract and calculates just how much money Mickey stole from Justin and gets the publisher to send Justin's next directly to him and Brian,since they trusted Micheal to dole out the profit money equally and but he insisted on on check being sent to his comic book store. It's not "The Dare" or it's sequel by Edom. Help?!

Maybe it's Experiment by Wren? http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/WF/EX.htm

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

No it's not that one. In the one I'm trying to find,Brian and Justin take some papers to Mickey's store and confront with the evidence of his stealing from Justin.

Are you sure it's not Experiment by Wren (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/WF/EX.htm). The 'M stealing rage money from J' starts in chapter 10 (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/WF/EX10.htm) and develops in further chapters. All the rest in your request also perfectly fits with Experiment.

Similar to "Experiment", but they don't speak with the publisher in that one...

[chase37.livejournal.com]

Oh Yeah! I just looked at both & see that Julesmonster's fic (below) fits that better. Having just skimmed a little of each fic (I've read both before)... I just noticed that J is owed $4000 in one and $118,000 in the other!!

Like I said...I feel dumb! LOL Thanks.'

Yes it's Time of Adversity XD

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I could help. Julesmonster is one of my favorite QaF writers, especially because we're both anti-mikey and anti-lesbians, although she is sometimes nice to the lesbians.

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

She's one of mine too. So is Moonshadow Woman XD Why anti-melanie? Lindsay I get,cause really she just irks me to distraction.

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

Mostly due to the constant putdowns. I know Brian gives as good as he gets, but she continuously takes Brian's money, and then also denies his right to be Gus's father. She never sees any good in Brian, no matter what he did for the family.

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

She became more relaxed about Brian being in Gus' life especially after Justin's bashing,she knew that Brian was the one who,not only could handle his mood swings,but was able to heal Justin. Something like that needs to be done with care and gentleness,feelings that she was then privy too or she knew Jen wouldn't have entrusted her son's care to Brian. Actually it was Linds who took Brian's money,Mel would've gladly turned it down given the choice.


But yes,she does have some animosity towards Brian but it's more to do with her own jealous over Brian's success,money and her partner's unnatural attachment to Brian.

One beautiful day,I'm actually going to read wren's The Experiment fic lol.

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

You should. I finally read it after months of procrastination, and it's a wonderful story. Another favorite QaF writer for me. Again, both anti-mikey and anti-lesbians.

She writes so beautifully, though.

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

Yeah,I just keep forgetting about it than procrastinating about not reading it lol. I'm so Anti-mikey but I do like a few non anti-mikey fics which are equally as good.

I'm only anti-lindsay. I like mel XD

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

I do read other stories where are three characters are good. I just like the anti-Mikey stuff.

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

I kinda figured you did. ^_^


Yeah,I love having Mikey put down...I never cared much for the character,or the actor for that matter. lol

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

Also, if you want a couple good anti-mikey stories, Hollyllex is a good author, in case you don't know her.

The ones I remember for sure are Getting Help (http://slashcity.org/hollyilex/qafusa/gethelp.html) and In (http://slashcity.org/hollyilex/qaf_us_in.html).

Some of her other stories might be anti-mikey, but those are the ones I remember for sure. Even if they're not anti-mikey, they're still good reads.

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

Oh I haven't yet. Thanks a lot! I'll check her stories out too XD


Heheh can I friend you? ^_^ I'm pretty sure my full b-day is still in profile since I had to add it for another person I friended here.


Does Gettin In have a unhappy ending for Brian and Justin? I hate those stories,then again...I suspect their M/B (this pairing makes no sense to me in any form) shippers,either openly or secretly.

[slashluv18.livejournal.com]

Not quite sure which story you were talking about. You made a mash-up of the two, but they're both happy endings for B/J.

I'm pretty sure all of her stories are happy endings for B/J. I could be wrong about that, though. It's been awhile since I read her stuff.

And yes to the friending.

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

Oops! I did make a mash up of the two lol. I'm dumb sometimes on the off shot I don't pay as close attention as I should XD I meant Getting Help *feels dumb*


Oh that's good XD That's okay,when I read thru them if I find any unhappy B/J endings I'll skip the story. ;-)


YAY! Thanks!! <3
