1. B takes J to Uni roof *FOUND* 2. Fun HS fic recs 3. B & J as 'power couple' recs

[malanna42.livejournal.com]

Hi all! I'm hoping for help locating one specific fic and recs for two other types.

1. I remember Brian taking Justin to the University he went to (Penn, I'm guessing?) and they wind up on the roof of a building Brian had once considered jumping from. A security guard makes them leave. ** FOUND ** This is part of Morpheus' season 3 fics. Thanks to kmboatright!

2. I'd like to read some fics where B & J are in high school together, but that aren't completely depressing angst-fests. It doesn't need to be total fluff, but I'd like something that doesn't focus on Brian being abused, or Justin being sent away, or some other super serious Lifetime movie kinda thing - something that's more typical high school, if that makes sense. Think 'My So-Called Life' or 'Dawson's Creek'. It'd be a bonus if others in the gang are with them, and a jealous Mikey and/or Lindz is always fun. Definitely prefer multi-chap and complete.  ** 1 suggestion in comments, still looking for others **

3. The other type of fic I'm in the mood for are ones where B & J become a power couple, solid and together, but far from 'Stepford fags'. Rather than completely settling into domestic bliss, they're more jetsetters with a measure of celebrity, perhaps. Paeansong's 'Talisman of Time' series (wish she'd come back) seemed headed that direction and is a good example of what I mean. Again, I prefer multi-chap and complete.  ** 1 suggestion in comments, still looking for others **

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't think of any specific ones off the top of my mind (sorry!) but there IS a tag on here for 'high school/college' fics that looked like had some good suggestions for #2. If I think of anything else, will let you know.

Good luck with your search! And I realized that we didn't have a 'high school/college fic' category on midnightwhispers.net after reading your post, so I'll add that to our categories. Thanks for the idea! ~Kim

I did try looking through the tag here, but there are quite a lot of fics listed, and I got tired of wading through angst, lol. It's great you're adding the category to MW!

#1 is by morpheus.
Go to http://morpheusqaf.com
and click on "pre-season 3 stories"
and it takes you to a long story that starts with shattered. The chapter you are thinking of is about halfway down that page.

Of course! Thanks so much!

I don't know how much this will help, but I think #1 has the title State College PA followed by a zip code. Can't remember the author.
Brian takes Justin there for the funeral of an old lover.
Hope someone recgonizes the story line and comes up with the story for you.

kmboatright found it, and it's the fic 'Kidnapped' which is part of Morpheus' Pre-S3 fics: http://morpheusqaf.com/Kidnapped.html

Thanks though!

For #3 try "Sickness and Health, Good Times and Bad" and its sequel "Holiday Happenings" by PA Boi at Midnight Whispers

Since you didn't get any recs for #2, let me give you this link to fics by Carly (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/Carly.htm). Four out of five of those are high school fics. A couple of them I can't really remember whether or not they're angsty, but when you said you wanted low-angst hs fics, my mind went right to Handcuffed :) Now, there may not actually be enough high school in it for you. They're at school when they meet, really cute meeting, then the rest of the fic is them falling in love in a day and having lots of sex first times. But they're very sweet, and Jack and Joan in this fic are the coolest parents ever! The sequel, Bound, is unfinished, but not enough plot gets started for it to really cliff-hang you.

Thanks! I will definitely check them out!
