Parenting Fics?

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone had links to stories featuring Brian/Justin parenting - or watching a kid - it doesn't have to be Gus, but it's fine if it is. In character fic is a MUST.

Or stories featuring Brian's relationship to Gus would also be very welcome. (I've already read 'Growing up Kinney' - and you can blame that fic for this search ;) )


Thanks for your help!

E.T.A. Thanks you guys are awesome - and fast! All the fic's found are in the comments.

The best child raising fic, is to me the greatest fic of all time. Draccone's Actions Speak Louder http://midnight-whispers.com/efic/viewstory.php?sid=1288 It migbt be a little out of character but it's definitely worth the read. There is also Azure Opal's fics Always and Clarity, but I'm not sure where to find the series.

Hope that helps! I know them all cause they are my fav kinds of fics. Cheers! -Rory

Hey! I've noticed that you're using one of my Brian/Gus icons - can you please credit me? Thank you!

[foreverfolked.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to. If you told me how. Not really sure where to put that. I suck at LJ stuff, usually if someone asks I tell them, that's what I thought credit meant. But I'm not sure how to put words on things. And btw, the icon is beautiul.-Rory

It's easy to credit icons. General etiquette says to put the maker's name in the comments field when you upload your icons. Go to : Manage > User Pics> and then you can edit the comments. Anyone who views your user pics then can see who made the icon.

[foreverfolked.livejournal.com]

Right. Well I'm one for human etiquette, can't say I know all about the whole computer thing. My friend helped me set up the LJ so still not sure about the whole business there. I shall go change the icon's comments, that makes sense. I just thought maybe it went somewhere on the icon when you click it. Don't mind me. I'm just not versed. -Rory

Thank you!

You definitely want Welcome to the Monkey House and My Animal by mcpofife. They're up on her website (http://www.geocities.com/mcpofife/). They're both long, in character fics involving Gus. The first is all about Gus, in the second, he makes several appearances. They're awesome!

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[cabtastic.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I'm a sucker for Dad!Brian. :)

Also, Brian takes care of Gus in several chapters of plumsuede's Everything at Once.

There's quite a bit of teenage Gus in RhiHero's Forever Changes Everything (http://rhihero-fic.livejournal.com/2004/09/17/), and it's pretty well in-character.

bigboobedcanuck wrote an awesome the-lesbians-die-and-Brian-inherits-Gus story called Out From Inside (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/272279.html) and it's sequel To Face Unafraid (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/299135.html).

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope you like!

Oh God, those two of BBC's are sooo awesome - thanks for reminding me, will reread at once :D

[cabtastic.livejournal.com]

I recently got re-recced them myself, so I'm just passing on the love. ;)

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I read these and forgot about them. *is bad*

[cabtastic.livejournal.com]

That's what we're here for! :D

[seanmegansean.livejournal.com]

It's not Gus, but these fics are great.

The kid's called Elliott. By yoursweater posted in queerasfandom: http://community.livejournal.com/queerasfandom/tag/elliott (maybe you have to be friended, can't remember, sorry :))

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Can't wait to read.

[chrisyeap.livejournal.com]

the classic is the Songs in the Key of Love series by Rizabeau over at ATP (http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewuser.php?uid=348/) site. However, you would have to read thru Parts 1 & 2 before the twins appear! But it's worth the trip! There are 5 parts in the series to date and one more to come.

Hmmm...have you read That Darn Gus (http://www.bjfic.net/main/viewstory.php?sid=10163&warning=R) by _mournthewicked?

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I've read this one over and over

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec. For some reason, LJ didn't tell me it was here! This looks really good. Thanks again!

A great family fic can be found at the Tribe. It's by Sun, and it's called "I Want You To Know". Brian and Justin end up having a big family. Lindsay is a surrogate mother for Justin and Brian. Great story. And long.

[sapphiretragedy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I can never get enough of these stories. This sounds just like the kind of thing I was looking for.

[trishwish.livejournal.com]

Your welcome. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
