obscure, but maybe someone knows

Okay, so I've been doing a lot of searching around using google and delicious.com.

So I found a rec list and there was a story that had a description along the lines:

Brian takes the ad job in NY.

Justin goes to Dartmouth.

I think it said that they didn't meet or perhaps they just had the single night.

So if this sounds familiar, please suggest the link to the fic or the rec list.

ETA: there is a fic rec in comments, but not the description of the fic I was thinking of.
In the fic that I'm thinking of Brian and Justin don't meet until after Justin goes/is in Dartmouth and Brian is in NYC.

Also, I realize after reading the comments, that this is also like a fic that is post 513 where Brian and Justin meet up in NY. Brian has moved to NY and is lonely and Justin and he become friends. There's a confrontation where Brian and Justin go to Pittsburg because Ben is in the hospital and Michael bitches out the both of them. This fic is pretty well known, and I can't think of what it is.

I just read something sorta similar a couple weeks ago but it was unfinished. I don't remember now if it's something current that's being updated or if it was abandoned.

What I read was Justin did go to Dartmouth but then he dropped out and moved to NYC and got a job as a dancer and lived somewhere really awful. I remember a line where he thinks, "guess Mysterious Marilyn was right; she just got the timing wrong."

Anyway, he runs into Brian on the street. He always intended to find him, I think, but don't remember if this was a planned meeting. They go to Brian's apt but I don't remember if they have sex. Justin leaves later on and then a bit later Brian gets a call from Debbie. Jen and Craig had no idea Justin had left school and they didn't know where he was. Brian says he just saw him and of course, Debbie tells Brian to go find Justin.

And I think that's where it ended. Maybe someone will recognize it from this description. There are several of this type fic around, though this is the only one I've read.

That sounds like Half the World is Sleeping by etharei. It's good, and when asked the last time she said the second part was almost finished, but it's been a while.... Rry here for the first part: http://community.livejournal.com/qaf_challenges/49015.html

[court1429.livejournal.com]

You're exactly right. I was rereading some of the challenge fics and PM'd her to ask if she was still planning on finishing, but haven't heard back from her.

I'll write her again and title it "Hot Adam Lambert Goss" and she'll be sure to open it right away! ;DD

Great idea! Let me know what she says.

Oh, and thanks for recognizing it from my description and reminding me what it was. ;)

great fic, but not the fic that I'm looking for.

Brian and Justin haven't met in the fic I'm looking for

[darla-isabelle.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I can't remember any story like that where they haven't met. Which is odd, if you think about it, since it makes a lot more sense for both of them to go those if they haven't met....

nice, but not the fic that I am thinking of

[flequillitos.livejournal.com]

I think I read something like this but I don't remember where, damn it

could be in midnight whispers?

with reference to the other fic you mention about B/J meeting up in NY then travelling to Pittsburg 'cos Ben in hospital - i'm sure its "Private Dancer" by We_Dreamerz which i've recently read on Midnight Whispers: http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1002 (sorry! i hve no idea how to make that a 'live' link - my 'IT' skills suck big time).

[court1429.livejournal.com]

let me try that again. Some help I'm turning out to be! lol

to make a link do this the following, except use <> where I'm going to demo with []:

[a href=http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1002][b]Private Dancer[/b][/a], which when you use the <> will end up looking like Private Dancer (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1002). ;)

ps: you don't have to use the "bold" tag [b][/b] (except in <>), I just do that because some LJs have a faint link color/font.

You can do it like this: [a href=http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1002]Private Dancer[/a] and without the bold tags, your link would look like Private Dancer (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=1002)
