Long In-Character--General Request

[dhrachth.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for long stories where Justin, Brian, et al are as close to canon character-wise as possible.

I know we all have our own standards about what qualifies as IC and what crosses into OOC--but I think most of us can tell the difference between actual canon and fanon we happen to ascribe to. For example, stories where Michael is pure evil and involved in a plot to kill Justin are fun, but definitely not canon. And, Brian and Justin being all sappy, more than once in a blue moon, kind of stretches the bounds of canon--even if it does make a really cute story. Basically, we're talking the difference between things you could picture happening in the show if it'd been renewed or they'd gone a different direction in an early season and things you might wish for but would never ever have happened in a million years.

Two examples I can think of are Xie & Suzvoy's fics. Are there any other authors or particular stories you'd recommend in the same vein?

Found! Lots of links in comments. Thank you to everyone who made suggestions.

- everything by Julad (okay, that rec is obvious, but just in case):
Stories index (http://yearningvoid.net/stories/julad/cat_qaf_us.html) - my favourites being 'Love Of His Life' and 'The Importance of Being Brian Kinney'

- everything by flashfly... although they're more like medium-length, but longer than short, and always fun and hot : Stories Index (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=flashfly&keyword=My+QAF+fic&filter=all) - my favourite is 'Live Action Short' (post-513)

- everything (I think) by ellyrianna: Stories Index (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=ellyrianna&keyword=my+qaf&filter=all), although if you're particularly looking for longer stories, then try 'All The Things You Didn't Know'(post-513) (http://ellyrianna.livejournal.com/?skip=10&tag=all+the+things+you+didn%27t+know). BTW, she has some awesome hustler!Justin (http://ellyrianna.livejournal.com/tag/thee+or+thy+ship) and doctor!Brian (http://ellyrianna.livejournal.com/tag/cabbage) AUs, which are deliciously in character and funny, in case you were interested.

- I also think msjudi always delivers, even though I've actually read less than half of her fics: Series (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=msjudi&keyword=msjudi%27s+B/J+series&filter=all) and Full-length (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=msjudi&keyword=msjudi%27s+B/J+full+length&filter=all)

And many more, but you asked for looong fics, so I think I'll just shut it for now :x

I agree on Julad, flashfly, & ellyriana. Msjudi will be someone for me to read tonight. Thanks.
