Gus Stories

Alrighty people, I hope this post isn't against teh rules...

Lately I've been in love with Gus stories, particularly ones where he goes to live with Brian and Justin. :)

I've already read: 1) Growing up Kinney 2)The Gus Diaries 3) Wild Child

Anyone know of any other good ones??? Pwease??? :DDD Like I said, I would prefer it if he were older and living with Brian and Justin, or trying to. Those are my favorites. :) Thanks in advance everyone.


EDIT: Good links in the comments, but I'd appreciate more. :D Thanks everybody!

Are you writing more in this series? It is very good. Is there a back story?

Awww, thank you. Yep... its just a matter of finding time to post. And that pesky edit and the stubborn.... but giving muse.


Backstory? um... how the kid came to be? or how those guys came to be?

[identity profile] kitasangel.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Both on the backstory. Yippee on you posting more. I as such a sucker for Gus stories. He has such great possibilities.

Well I did have the story on how they met, but I couldn't piece it well together. Maybe I can take it out later this week and try again. As for the kid, well... I like to keep people guessing. --laughs all evil like--

Shhh... dat be illegal!

--looks all shifty eyed--

[identity profile] kitasangel.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Not only illegal but wrong. Really really wrong to clone Brian and Justin and (oh so cool) I mean bad wrong(but really a great idea) no I mean wrong.

Not to whore my own fics... but er... I'm going to whore my own fic. XD;;; Kondo, by [livejournal.com profile] nyrak20 and has LOTS of Gus in it, he's probably the third most important character after Brian and Justin. We're currently writing Time After Time, which is a sequel series to Kondo, so there's lots of it. Click here to get the complete Kondo listing. (http://ryosato.livejournal.com/768378.html) Check my LJ for the most recent Time After Time chapters. :D

“Wicked Intentions” by Doppelganger; though Gus is only living with Brian and Justin over the summer in this one.

Eighteen-year-old Gus falls for Brandon, from season five, (a much younger version of Brandon than he would actually be) who wants revenge on Brian for something that happened years ago. http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=516&ageconsent=ok&warning=5

And there’s a sequel “Wicked Intentions 2:” http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=616&ageconsent=ok&warning=5

These are some other good ones.

“Family Matters” by thghtlsscmng: Gus never knew Brian, because Melanie didn't want him to. On his 18th birthday, he goes to Pittsburgh in search of his father who is happily living with Justin and making his own plans to go find his son. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2746153/1/Family_Matters

“Divided” by Holly Ilex: Gus is abused by stepfather (Lindsay married a man) and moves in with Brian and Justin. http://slashcity.org/hollyilex/qafusa/divided.html

And some humor. Same title as the above, but different story. “Family Matters” or (“Sometimes It’s Good To Be A Kinney”) by Angelus1: Gus has to decide who will be at his high school graduation. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2873411/1/Family_Matters

Awhile back someone asked for Gus fic. There were a lot of good fics recced in that one, all the way from baby-gus stories to grown-up-married-gus. Here’s the link. http://community.livejournal.com/getithere/497406.html

I love Gus fics too!!!......

You have to read Healing by Sydney Alexis... bring tears to my eyes every time I read it... its so beautifully written... full of happiness, angst, sadness and many other emotions of the human world!!!... the link is below:
http://www.geocities.com/mikayla_la/fic/healing-full.html

Another one that I highly recommend is Growing up Kinney. Its about Brian and Justin through the eyes of Gus. Very lovely story but I have to warn you that Justin became blind in this series....the link is:
http://queerasfolk.wired-hub.net/guk_01.html

And definitely Gus Diaries, but I guess you've read that...

One of the best B/G stories I've ever read.

The Seven Stages of Brian and Gus.

I have to warn you there is a character death but it's not a death fic so I hope that doesn't keep you from reading it.

OMG I adore this fic, but it KILLED me, so beautiful, did you cry, I did for 2 weeks lol, I re-read it often, so very beautiful,,hugs Jx

[identity profile] junby.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was done in by that last part. This story definitely stays with you. I felt the same way after reading Counting Blue Cars. Gosh, that story still haunts me to this day.

[identity profile] sexy-pumpkin.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I just read that fic last month, OMG I cried like a baby, when Brian ran back to the loft & yelled at the heaven's because he'd left him, like Guh I couldn't believe it. The same with this one, to this day I remember it, guess thats what makes it a good fic, but shit the pain,,later Jx

Freakykat has a great trio of stories that are all from Gus' POV. You can find them on her LJ under 'Gus Series'.
