Classic fics

I'm still trying to get a feel for the Brian/Justin fandom, so I thought I'd ask - what fics should I be reading?  What are the fandom classics that everyone who even remotely is interested in the pairing should sink their teeth into? 
Thanks for the help.

ETA: Lots o' links in the comments. :D  Thanks everyone!

Hi there :)

Strictly speaking, this post is a bit too general to fit our rules, but seeing as I was too late and now there's all those names and links up there, I'll leave it here. In general, I think a comm that would be good for questions like your one here is [livejournal.com profile] queerasfolkfans or [livejournal.com profile] babylonvip.

As to your question, most of the authors that are considered classic imo are the ones who started writing/wrote while the show was shot, so if I were you I'd start with all those who posted their stuff before 2005 (most of them are mentioned already). Added to those should be vamphile, xie-xie-xie, and [livejournal.com profile] darksylvia. If you want real in-character-fics, I'd go with the lists of authors the first two commenters here suggested. Just my two cents obviously, but not every good writer has a good understanding of Brian and Justin, too. Unfortunately.

Don't worry about it;) I'm sorry for having to tell you that in the first place, I don't like being a stickler for the rules to newbies :| Anyway, hope you enjoy your fic :D
