Brian, Justin, Gus future!fics

[csmars.livejournal.com]

Hi, guys!  I just learned about this community and I'm so happy!!!  I love love LOVE B/J fics and have read A LOT, so hopefully I can be of help in the future.

I pretty much love anything as long as it's got B&J love in it, but one of my favorite genres is future!fics with teenager Gus!!  (because he's just such a cutie in the show!!!)  I've read quite a few very good ones, but if there are any I've missed, please let me know! 



Series I've read (that i can remember right now):

The Gus Series: By Any Other Name and Never Did Run Smooth by freakykat (probably my favorite!)
Hell Week by mickiebg (love)
Wild Child by Thyme (i love everything thyme writes, second fav?)
The Gus Dairies by shadownyc(gus is quite the hottie here)
Counting Blue Cars by RC McLachlan (AU, amazingly sad and beautiful)
How We Got Where We're Going by allie_quixotic
That Darn Gus series by brandnewloser
Gus' Big Day series by catcayman (umm... okay, so gus isn't quite teen-age yet but it's too cute)

I know a lot of future!fics have gus (like the Sunshine Files or A Love that Will Never Grow old) but i really like moderately long series that focus on B, J, and G as a family (however unconventionally they chose to be). Well, I guess that's my little list of recs.  If you have any recommendation for me, please share!!

Thank you! Muah~!

EDIT:
I added links to all the stories above.  Hmm.. should've done it the first time.  LJ no0b here.  That's my excuse for everything.

Oh!! I have read these, but couldn't remember the author's name! Yeah, these are great! And so different from the normal "gus is a sweetheart and loves his dads" kind of story. Very realistic but the QAF-humor and love are still there! Thanks for the link!

Hello,
I'm afraid I may not be able to help you in your search.
But if it's not much of a bother, may I ask the link for shadownyc's Gus Diaries?

Thank you in advance.

=D

These are great I have read a lot of these. Do you have links to Counting Blue Cars by RC McLachlan and That Darn Gus by Brandnewloser. I haven't heard of either of those and would like to read them.

here's brandnewloser's bjfic page:

That Darn Gus is an AU story where Gus was born when Lindsay and Brian were in college (conceived the normal way) so when Brian met Justin, Gus was already 9 or 10 or something. But the story goes all the way 'till after Brian and Justin establishes their relationship and Gus is a teenager and has his crazy love stories and crazy friends and crazy parents (Mel comes in later).

It's not great writing stylistically, per se, but a lot of the situations are pretty hilarious. just a relaxing, fun read.

[pfodge.livejournal.com]

Thanks I will book mark it.

I was actually just going to make a post asking for teenage Gus fic after rereading Myrna's blind!Justin (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=myrna1_2_3) fic. Don't know if you've read that one, but the entire fic is from teenage Gus' POV and it's pretty hilarious.

So thanks!

[csmars.livejournal.com]

oh, thanks for the reminder! i love that story. Again, a little teenage angst and rebellion on gus' part. *goes off to read again*

Hi, just saw your recc, I love Gus fics are B&J together? I ONLY read happy ever after post 513 fics lol, so IF you think I'd like this, can you let me know? sorry to be a pain in the ass :) but I'm a true BJ shipper, how many more do you know?,,thanks,SP.x

[sexy-pumpkin.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the reply, never read Wild Child, I'll give it a go, I've just started the fic, up to Chtp4, I love Gus fics, have you read the fics I recc'd by sonofabiscuit77 if not, go to her LJ memories & her Gus Universe, there is a 3rd one, called "Sometimes Only A starbucks Latte Will Do,they are wonderfully funny, beautiful fics, it's so nice to find new fic, IF you need me, I'm here..later Jxx

[csmars.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend Wild Child. I'm a big Thyme fan because of her Close to Home series so I read almost all of her stuff but I was really hesitant about Wild Child since B & J aren't together in the beginning.

BUT! After re-reading and re-re-reading her stuff, i decided I would give this last un-read series a chance and it took a bit for things to get better between our boys, but true love came through and they're just so sweet (like all of Thyme's stories).

If you like happy B&J stories, I would recommend the rest of her stories, especially the Close to Home series, Cat and mouse series, Image is Everything (the first i read), and Perfection. These are all AUs but she has a lot of canon stories as well (the famous Sunshine Files co-written with Sabina is probably THE longest series in this fandom. About 30 stories in the series and like 15-20 chapters per story. and it's not done yet... O_O I've only finished about 15% of it). Enjoy!

[sexy-pumpkin.livejournal.com]

Hey, Ive read a lot of her stuff, Sabina's as weel, the Sunshine files are great, I started at the beginning many years ago, but sort of lost touch after Brianna was born lol, BK as a full time dad, does not sit well with me :) I like him in the backroom or IN Justin, but they are fun to read.

I loved Thyme;s fics where Brian was in the wheelchair, where do I find Close to Home series, on MW ? Image is Everyting, whats that about & perferfection, I need some new fic,,thanks Jxx

[csmars.livejournal.com]

everything is on her mw page. the link's in my post. So far she's had 3 close to home stories and I can't wait for another one!!!

[bkfqueer.livejournal.com]

http://del.icio.us/brittlee126/Gus. There is a total of 77 links to Gus stories. Try Gay Friday by brandnewloser87 or The Bet by Sharp. Everything from strange AU to absolutely canon friendly and funny.

[csmars.livejournal.com]

thanks!!! *goes off to read*

[trishwish.livejournal.com]

I wrote this one.

he's the only one that can tame my dad

snicker snicker

yep, that's right! I've actually read this quite a few times, and I just read it again! it's very cute and realistic. It would be awesome to see a sequel and see how Gus is doing with Adam (provided the boy is still alive). LOL
