Breakup fic recs?

Hi all! I am looking for some recs for some good/well-written (I've read some pretty awful, OOC, over-dramatic ones) Brian and Justin breakup fics. Fics where they break up for one reason or another and while there may be some angst, the ending is positive/amicable and they both are able to move on and be happy.

(As an aside, if there are any where they breakup and reconsile, that's fine too, and I wouldn't mind those recs at all!)

How many hours do you have? Lots? Good.

That Happy Feeling (alternate series ending... very good read)

New Year then Spring Fever (Post-bashing, Pre-Ethan)

Caprice - Ritorna a Me - then Songs in the Key of Love Signed/Sealed/Delivered... Justin in Italy, Brian in Pittsburgh. Working out their issues, getting together, walking away, figuring it out again.

Enjoy!

Well, I have some favorites... :)

In Love Again by justinlovesart. Justin falls in love with another artist in NYC. It was hard for me to read at first (mainly because I've always pictured B/J together), but it truly is an honest and realistic piece of writing. There's no breakup scene here, just a "never again" with a positive ending.

Five Wrong Endings by julad. I think the title says it all. Very well written!

The Continued Adventures of Brian, Justin, and Justin’s Boyfriend by silviakundera. It probably sounds strange saying it this way, but it’s the funniest breakup fic I’ve ever read.

Breaking Point by zoodenizen. Brian sets Justin up on a date with a client.

Now, I know you asked for fics that end well… This one doesn’t, but it’s so beautifully written that I couldn’t *not* mention it. It’s called Reunification Fic by phluphee, in which Brian and Justin meet three years after their breakup. It’s short, it’s sad and heart-rending, but oh so good!

Enjoy!
