comfort food fics

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for some brian/justin comfort food - recs for fics that make you feel good.

The kind of fics when you've had a bad day you can read and they make you warm and happy like a big bowl of mac and cheese. But the nice thing about comfort food fics is that there are no calories and you don't have regrets in the morning when you put on your jeans.


eta: lots of good recs in the comments, feel free to add your favorite

One of the fics I always come back to is this:

http://ladybugkay.livejournal.com/25550.html it's by ladybugkay and is called 'Visual Aids'

Another one is this one:

http://bjfic.net/main/viewstory.php?sid=6239 this one is by Wren and is called 'Experiment'

I love angst fics, but I was reading so many, that I had to make a folder just of feel-good B/J fics to counteract the angst.

Brain Damage/Brian Damage by Kris (MST)
The Mechanic by Cheryl (MST)
A New Beginning by Eowyn(bjfic.net)
Not Like All the Others by libragirl_101087 (Across the Pond)
Tight by ashmedai (on his LJ page)

I love these. Anything by lennongirl always makes me feel warm and fuzzy and the same with burnitbackwards and darksylvia. rhiannonhero's Forever Changes Everything (http://www.rhiannonhero.net/rhi/QueerAsFolk/foreverchangeseverthing.htm) is one of my favorites ... and Omelet. Even though it's not Christmas bigboobedcanuck's Christmas story (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/188686.html) collaboration is fantastic too.

Miracle on Tremont Street (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/Challenge/CC/11.htm) by Wren always makes me feel warm and fuzzy--perhaps because it's based on the warm and fuzzy Miracle on 34th Street. But don't let its being a holdiday fic scare you away; this is definitely one you can read year round.

And if you don't mind a self-rec: Gus's Family Portrait (http://mysid.livejournal.com/85952.html). It's just a fluffy little one-shot about Gus in his new school in Canada.

ooh, so many. My favorite kind to read are long, novel-length fics, so here are some I especially enjoy.

suzvoy's Inescapable (and really, just about everything she writes)

severina2001's Gold and Silver Shines, along with everything else she writes

wren_kt7oz's Experiment, Pirate Tale, Reverb and Homecoming, all of her stuff

sian265's Mask (which is being completed by sydneyalexis, links to both are on Sian's webpage

Riz' twins!verse on ATP. OOC and I adore it.

quinn222's graphic fics (if you don't already have them saved, she's recently reuploaded Memos and Correspondence. fingers crossed for the rest to be reposted).

And a certain Commuter Lives series... ;)

I know there are more. Lemme think.

Super hot and warm and happy :) I could read Ethan's "Needing You" over and over and over...

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a link to Gold and Silver Shines, would you?? I know I've read it before, and loved it, but I searched all over her journal and site and I can't find it anywhere. Wasn't it for a challenge or something...? If you have a link, that would be amazing. Otherwise, I'll keep searching. :P

I'm still looking, but fyi, severina has a site also on geocities

I had to think about this one for a while. A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned. So here a couple for you that are very worthwhile.


The 56th Most Common Name (http://sakesushimaki.livejournal.com/tag/qaf+fic:+%22the+56th+most+common+name%22) by sakesushimaki AU - Brian meets Justin in Boston but doesn't even know his name. There are some very good comic moments in this. It's recently completed and I think she did a great job with the story.


No More Ugly Naked Guy (http://darksylvia.livejournal.com/434321.html) by darksylvia. A Friends/QAF crossover. You need to have seen about one episode of Friends for this to please you. It never fails to make me smile.

[court1429.livejournal.com]

lol It's actually linked on her profile page (http://severina2001.livejournal.com/profile) right below her mood themes. Talk about hiding in plain sight, right? ;)

[shopinchickcas.livejournal.com]

My absolute favorite fic is Something More (http://bjfic.net/main/viewstory.php?sid=7899&warning=NC-17) by brandnewloser87. It's a HS fic which I totally LOVE and there is a little bit of angst in it, but there is also some good humor and funny, drunk, teenage Brian making friends with a soccer ball, so....

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I looked everywhere on the sidebar links on her journal. Then I remembered it was part of the nanowriter thing - but definitely, not where I would have thought it would have been.

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I want to thank you so much for the rec of

The 56th Most Common Name by sakesushimaki

I just adored it. It was fun -- and very funny and very hot in places. Can't wait to read more by her.

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

I love the "That Darn Gus" series by her, especially "Gay Friday"

[shopinchickcas.livejournal.com]

Yeah! That ones great too! I wish she finished that story or at least still wrote. I love her stories just like I love your icon!!!

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Here we go.

Willow Hill, PA, Pop 317 (http://flashfly.livejournal.com/18657.html) by flashfly. A really cute fic written for the qaf_challenges What If prompt. Set in S1.

Night At The Liberty Baths (http://slave-o-spike.livejournal.com/29448.html), by slave_o_spike. Don't drink anything while reading this. Funniest frigging fic ever!

Figs And Leaves (http://www.rhiannonhero.net/rhi/QueerAsFolk/figsandleaves.htm) and Fairy Dust (http://www.rhiannonhero.net/rhi/QueerAsFolk/FairyDust.html) by rhiannonhero. Figs And Leaves is a really sweet story featuring stoned!Jennifer and appalled!Justin. Fairy Dust is a look at a fairy gathering featuring the gang. And Justin in a dress. lol Way too funny.

There are other, more serious stories, way too many to count, but I thought I'd share some one shots with humor for you.

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

unfortunately, been there, done that
but I did get a few that I hadn't read before!

[sodoesrachael.livejournal.com]

Haha, thanks! XD I looked and looked and looked all over both her LJ and her site, to no avail. :(

But thanks for finding it for me!! :)

[sodoesrachael.livejournal.com]

Tankies!! I love this story. Definitely bookmarking it this time. :P
