B/J Apart, but Feelings Still There

This is a vague request. I have no particular fic in mind, but I'm looking for stories where the boys aren't together, maybe one or both is even seeing someone else, but one or both of them still has strong feelings toward the other. A little angst is good, but nothing crazy. Preferably nothing really OOC. Series or one-shot. It's preferable that they end up together, but I'm open to any suggestions!

I'm actually in the middle of writing a fic like that right now. A 4/5 part mini ficlet, out of which I've finished the first two parts.

The end of each chapter serves to bring that section to a close, so there will be no cliffhangers. If you want, I can send you the unedited version of what's already written. No idea how good or bad it is.

Done!

Will you send it to me as well? I'd love to read it!

Lol, ok, but I will stop here - I want someone to be interested when it eventually gets published, hahaha

A few by Moonshadow Woman come to mind:
The Road To Now (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=291&warning=3) (28k) about 5 yrs apart??
Once Upon A Time (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=194) (40k) 14 yr separation, J is blind
More Than Yesterday Not As Much As Tomorrow (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=143) (11k) separated after 101 but neither forgot (7 yrs??)
Always And Forever (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=135) (38k) 6 yrs apart, J becomes a famous artist under a pseudonym

Choices (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=3017) (prologue to) Consequences (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=3026) (170k tot.) by Alois http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewseries.php?seriesid=92 (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewseries.php?seriesid=92). This 1 has a B/other pairing during a long (7 yrs??) separation. This fic mostly centers on B's journey.
ETA: ^ just newly posted/archived, Aug. 31, 2015, on AO3 at: http://archiveofourown.org/series/304662 (http://archiveofourown.org/series/304662). Word count there says 156k total (170k at MW). I'm assuming the word count readings are different...not that 14,000 words have been edited out??
There's also a very short (700 word) 3rd part addition to Consequences at MW (probably still to be posted at AO3) called "I Remember (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=3324)" by Alois: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=3324 (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=3324).

One of my absolute favorites in this category is definitely "Morning" by Julesmonster. Found here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/517980

Summary: Justin and Brian have moved on with their lives, but will tragedy bring them back together? Fluffy with just a hint of angst.

See also her story "Broken Dreams" here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3764317

Summary: Justin is in New York, Lindsey and Gus are in Canada, and nobody's lives are what they expected. Can Brian take all their broken dreams and make them happy again, or is it too late to go back?

To be honest, she's one of my favorite authors in the fandom and, although she hasn't added to her QAF work in years, I always hope for more! Whether or not she does... I will always recommend her work.

I have a few of these - mostly one shots:
Snow on the Roof - http://archiveofourown.org/works/3268175

Vanishing Act - Loosely based on Gale's foray into crime drama Vanished after QAF ended, but still B/J

A really good one is 'Suddenly It's Summer" by Moonshadow Woman at Midnight Whispers.
