Show me the love

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

I'm watching Queer as Folk for the first time in almost a year right now, and honestly feeling a tentative reappearance from my love. I'd completely lost that oomph, but lately I've been thinking about the show again, and I've finally gotten back on the horse.

So what I'm asking is for fics that made you think 'Yes, yes, that's exactly it.' Fics that reminded you why you love QAF, Brian/Justin, their makeshift family, everything. I don't care about the genre/length/rating, as long as you love it.

Sorry if the request is too vague, I just want to feel what you feel again and I'm hoping your favorite fanfics will show me the way.

Unless you're into Brian/Michael because that's one apple I'm not tempted to bite :D

I probably pimp this too much in here but here it is again here (http://amelialourdes.livejournal.com/321795.html). It's pretty much a list of the classic fanfics in fandom. I have a part two coming up soon if I can ever settle on the final list. Hope it's satisfactory!

That's exactly what I love about fanfiction. Sometimes you read a story and you get to a part that just speaks to you. It's when the author manages to capture the essence of a character or to write something you just find beautiful.

Here are four completely different fics that do it for me:

Drabble: The Salon Visit (http://xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com/103985.html) by xie_xie_xie

Little Ditty (http://myrna1-2-3.livejournal.com/2048.html) by myrna1_2_3 (Has a Ben/Justin friendship.)

Lead Me Home (http://allie-quixotic.livejournal.com/41925.html#cutid1) by allie_quixotic. (An AU, Justin and Brian 3 months after the Rage party. Justin could have questioned everything he's done and where's he at but most of all he could have descended back into the nightmares of the (not-so-distant) bashing. And I find Brian's one word response to all of this perfect.)

Super long! That Happy Feeling (http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=8519&warning=NC-17) by rizabeau. (Because this gives me a Brian that is taking charge of his life & relationships.)

Can I just be super lazy and send you over to my journal. I have about 15 of my all-time fave fics linked to on the side. They all make me feel The Love.
