what if?

Hey
I am looking for any Justin/Brian fics that would fulfil the what if they hadn't met under the lamp post the night they did.
I don't mind how close or far it is from canon.
hope you can help

Edit: Many, many thanks to all those who offered fics. I'm enjoying them no end

Try Inescapable (http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/inescapable.html) by Suzvoy. Brian and Justin meet after the bombing here.
Orr...
Out Of The Shadows (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=kimberleyqaf&keyword=Kimberley%27s+Fic&filter=all) by kimberleyqaf ? It's an AU with Justin hustling his butt to piss off his rich homophobic father.
Orrrr...

there's a ficlet that where Justin goes home with the first guy he meets on Liberty Avenue (the one who tells him about BoyToy, Pistol and Meat Hook). Basically, when he goes home with the guy he meets Jason Kemp.
Basically a what if, he didn't meet Brian under the lampost.

I can't remember the name of the fic, but I think it was on bjfic.net

"The Angel Stream"

Brian and Justin don't meet until Christmas of Justin's
senior year at Dartmouth.

There's currently a new episode in progress on my LJ,
"Midnight Clear."

Also, one of my favorites, originally by sian265 and is being finished by sydneyalexis (which means it's a WIP), "The Mask."

Sian's first 17 chapters (http://www.monjouet.net/qaffiction.htm)

If you don't mind AR try some stories by Ashleigh Kinnerson. Some are very good but mostly total AU or AR. http://www.ridiculouslyromantic.com/Fiction/FanfictionQAFSeries.htm

I've never done this before, rec my own fic, but I did a little Christmas AU where they meet in New York, in essence, Brian never met Justin under the lamp post, he did get the job in New York where Justin is going to school. If you're interested you can find it at
