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

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

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...

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
