Post-513 adventure fic?

Dear Fandom,

After reading one too many reunion fics I finally realized that ordinary stories started to bore me. Like those where Brian and Justin after months of brooding make a suden decision that they can't be apart anymore, or those where Kinnetik is the best company in the universe and therefore opening an office in NYC is not a problem. Or where they break up for the sake of angst.

So I was hoping you could recommend some post-513 fics with, you know, actual plot/action? As in, where something terrifying/dangerous/shocking/weird/ unusual/life-changing/funny happens to boys and girls of qaf and brings Brian and Justin together. I already read 'Whenever You're Ready' by Severina, 'Painting Lessons' ( braindamaged!Brian is Teh Love ) by Jan and 'Brian Like Me' and those are the kinds of plots I'm looking for.

ETA: got some recs, still looking for moooar eventful post-s5 BJ stories. Come on, I know you got 'em, give 'em! :3

Alas, it happens to the best of us. "Dr. Dee" prescribes the following:

Go to http://community.livejournal.com/drabylon and friend the comm. Then indulge in a bunch of quickies.

For something truly different and hilarious, go here http://xie-xie-xie.insanejournal.com/51270.html. The crack!fic will have you laughing your ass off. My fave is "Justin & Gabrielle in a Bottle."

Keep reading jans_intentions. She is the ultimate cure for QAF fanfic boredom. You gotta read "Forbidden Fruit," "Noir," "Innocence" (WIP), and my personal fave "Apple" (WIP).

My most recent addiction: "Leather Bound" by elyxer. I've never read anything even remotely like it. It challenged me and made me uncomfortable--and I like that. You can find her fics here http://www.midnight-whispers.com/efic/viewuser.php?uid=119 and she also has a "friends only" LJ here http://elyxer.livejournal.com.

PLEASE give all the writers and artists your appreciation by leaving comments!

PLEASE keep our Marvelous Moderator happy and remember to edit your post to indicate that you've found some great fic.

Hollah back to LegalMonet@comcast.net and let me how it goes.

~Dee~

Sorry--I realized most of what I rec'd was AU when you specifically asked for post-S5 adventure/character development. Most post-S5 fic is full of hearts and flowers and family and children. Then I remembered vamphile and plumsuede! I read their fics at http://www.bjfic.net, but they both have LJ's.

plumsuede--Read in this order: "Everything at Once"; "Framed"; "Beyond the Yellow Brick Road" (WIP).

vamphile--Read in this order: "All Mistakes are Temporary" I & II; "Slices of Seven"; The "Keeping" Series (Brothers Keeper; Keeping It Together; Safe Keeping; Keeping Touch; Keeping Time).

Oh, you are in for a treat!
