Uh, greetings. Apparently I am somewhat of an asshat, and I've gotten it in my head (heart?) that 510 AU's where Justin dies are the coolest thing since sliced bread. I deeply desire wishing-for-what-could-have-been!Brian.

Help a sister fellow out? :D

ETA: Links in comments to the death. Of course, now I've realized I'm one of those weepy people, so living in a hole is starting to sound nice.

I have an unhealthy obsession with death!fics. There just aren't enough out there and most people avoid them like the plague so they're hard to find. These aren't 510 death!fics, but they're other death!fics that have made me cry. Enjoy! Cry your heart out!

"Boys of Melody" by sweetestdrain (http://sweetestdrain.livejournal.com/78207.html)
"Reaper Boy" by nanowrenlet (http://nanowrenlet.livejournal.com/?skip=40) (written for NaNoWriMo 2003, it's a crossover with the show Dead Like Me, but I'd never even heard of the show and I still loved this fic)
"Every F-ing Morning" by ladybugkay (on IJ) (http://ladybugkay.insanejournal.com/18296.html) (a short piece and one of my favorites)
"Senses" by specialj67 (on IJ) (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/qaf_drabbles/202826.html) (very short)

Waaahhh! You're amazing. I'm going to bubble over with grief, and think of you. :D

I am alive with the joy. [/pun]

I have to add this one even though it's not a death!fic (it gets close a couple times, but it's NOT actually a death!fic) in case you haven't read it yet. It is like the mother of all hurt/comfort fics. It's pretty long, but sooooooooo worth it. It's split into 4 parts narrated first by Ethan, then by Michael, then by Brian, then finally by Justin. Surprisingly, I almost like the first two parts best... but really the whole thing is just so fucking good you have to read it.

Oh thank god. The cumulative misery and angst was sort of killing me. I'm more emotional than I thought.

Not!Death-fic means happy ending, right? Not...Justin in a home with severe brain damage, yes?

[pendulumchanges.livejournal.com]

I keep those stories in my memories under the keyword "makes me cry" and I pull them out when I need to feel the pain.

Yes, NOTdeath!fic does have a happy ending... but have you been reading "Painting Lessons" by jans_intentions? It's all about Brian having severe brain damage. It's still a WIP, but it's another amazing hurt/comfort fic. I usually avoid WIPs, but that one has sucked me in.

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

Hee. The cry me a river fics were amazing. I'm all sorts of in love with 'Boys of Melody'. Brian/Ethan squicked me so hard in all the right places I cried more.

Oh, god yes. I'd only seen it recced 8 or 9 times before I screwed my original trepidation over reading a WIP and grabbed the train. It exceeded my expectations, despite all the good word. My strange little heart thumped away at the idea of a fic with severe brain damage that was so about 'the love'.

It sucked me in like a hoover. Jans!Fic is amazing. If I didn't have issues with Justin!Hooker fic I'd be all over Noir, too.

My strange little heart thumped away at the idea of a fic with severe brain damage that was so about 'the love'. It sucked me in like a hoover. ..... I agree 100%

I haven't tried "Noir" either, but after "Painting Lessons" and "Apple" are done I might give it a chance. If it's like the rest of her stuff it's probably going to be good. Her fics are all sort of out there, but they are seriously so full of teh love it's incredible. And despite the completely random circumstances/places/setting/backstories she's still able to keep Brian and Justin in character somehow.

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

Yesyesyes. She can just pick them up and stick them back down anywhere, and it just tickles my fancy.

Apple is great because, hello, hot slave action. And the way Brian is completely stripped of any control he might have had, and Justin is bit by bit giving it back to him. Which is great, because it's almost dead opposite to what happens on the show, but they're still exactly the same people. Just with different experiences.

After Noir finishes I think I'm going to have a Jans!Fic party and sit and read everything she's written in one go. It will be a marathon of great.

[zaipixie.livejournal.com]

Oh! I love Jans stuff!

You really should read Noir though. Justin isn't really a hustler in it... it's hard to explain really. You just have to trust me.

Jan is amazing! She builds worlds I can't get enough of her stuff. And she's at her absolute best in Noir in my opinion! Go Read!

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Don't tease a girl, I'm all a light with the possibility of another Jans!fic.

Practically asking for spoilers here, but, not hustler? Or only not a hustler in the sense that he doesn't dance on weekdays. (I'm refraining from the crude)

She is an amazing pupper master, both with her readers and the golden couple. I'm all but salivating at the new Blue Lagoon fic. Something I never thought I would say.

[zaipixie.livejournal.com]

Oh she's truly amazing! The way she manages to flesh out the stories with a mythology of its own and every little aspect of the world she writes about so you'll feel like you're standing in the middle of it. Her brain is a most exciting place to visit.

Well.... Justin is sort of...well... eh... I CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN without giving out spoilers! Let's just say that in the world of Noir there are more like him that originally was meant to please....
And Noir!Brian is more battered and bruised with more scar tissue and walls up than ever....

Justin's strong and he's brave and he's... Oh for the love of Liberty Avenue! Just go read will ya! *LOL*

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

It's sort of necessary now considering that very vague and cryptic response. :D Is he, like, a pleasure slave? Spoil me like yesterday's milk, please.

I was going to read it a month ago, I think, but I started and Justin was in a silk robe?... I am sort of a connoisseur of bad fic (not that Jan!fic is anything of the sort), so I have high tolerance for just about anything, but my three squicks are silk robes, long hair, and hustlers. Oddly, they were all in QAF at some point.

Wah. I haven't even begun to read Noir and I'm mesmerized.
