recs anyone?

I am looking for the perfect fic.

I know that might seem crazy but I need something to read and I want it to be a good one.

What is the perfect fic??

A fic where Justin isn't a saint. A fic where Brian isn't the devil. A fic where Ted is respected. A fic where Emmett has a boyfriend. A fic that doesn't have Debbie just screaming swears all over the place. A fic where Michael isn't a goofy man boy, but isn't the villain either. A fic where Mel and Lindsay aren't in it a lot, but when they are they get that Brian isn't the devil and that Brian is trying to be  a good dad. Also if it can have a lot of Brian and Ted office interaction that would be great. ( office Brian/Ted is a secret kink of mine )

Somethings I don't want. Romantic, flowery, sappy stuff. No declarations of monogamy. No MPEG ( jesus those are not my bowl of cornflakes ).

If you guys could rec something that covers even a few of these that would be great.

hmm...you could try Inescapable (http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/inescapable.html) by Suzvoy :) it's kind of everything you asked, at least in my opinion

I don't know if you've already read it or not, but it's absolutely excellent and seems to fit your requirements. Actually 2 fics that seem to work.

That Happy Feeling by Rizabeau (http://www.qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=8519&warning=NC-17"). It's really good. A definite must read. You might think from the opening that it's not what you're looking for, but keep reading. Trust me on that!

Inescapable by Suzvoy (http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/inescapable.html). This one's an AU, which I know is not everyone's cup of tea, but it's so well written and as close to in-character as a fanfic can get, that it's great.

Inescapable is a great read. You'll enjoy it.

The problem is with such a simple request is we don't know who you have read. Allie Q, Bdeviled, Xie, Bigboobedcanuck, Vamphile?

Sorry, I'm so tired tonight that I can't provide links, but I would love to when I'm more awake for any of these gals and more that you would be interested in.

Have you read [livejournal.com profile] xie_xie_xie's fics? I highly recommend:

Plans which starts here:
http://xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com/13165.html#cutid1

Plans is followed by Decisions, Desires, and Risks....it is a wonderful, long series. Usually I don't like long fics with lots of chapters, but I can honestly say, that I have loved reading every chapter she has written. Xie has also done exactly what you are looking for in a fic: Justin is no saint; Brian is no Devil....and I absolutely LOVE the Ted she has written. :) The story is a wonderful mix of all the characters, focusing mainly on Justin and Brian. If you haven't read this series, it is a MUST.

I loved That Happy Feeling - but I do wish it was broken into chapters
