QAF recs

[yanca-lin.livejournal.com]

Hi, I am new to the Qaf fandom, ok not to the series, but to the wonderful world of Qaf fanfiction :)
I would like to ask for your favourite Brian/Justin stories. I don`t care which genre, and I love AUs too. though I really don`t like ooc stories, so please no lovesick Brian who is stalking Justin with roses and chocolate ;) but they should have a happy end, please.

thanks in advance :D

Yanca

lots of great fics recommended, thank you all, links in comments :)

How come there isn't a master rec post in this comm or a general rec catagory in the memories?

Almost all my favourite fics are linked here:

...off the top of my head (and there are way too many stories in my head) these are some of my favorites.

“Nowhere to Run” and “Somewhere I Belong” by Crazyevildru: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=crazyevildru&keyword=Nowhere+to+Run&filter=all

“Turning Points” by Britin (WIP) http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=846&chapter=1

Also, anything by Paul Plesko, (if you can find his page. I seem to be having trouble with my link, but here’s one short story; “Party Boy:”) http://squidge.org/~pplesko/stories/partyboy.html

Those three all have a similar theme; what if Justin hadn’t been able to get away at the Sap’s party? They’re probably the best 214-AU’s written.

And here’s some of my favorite Gus-fics:

“Wild Child” by Thyme: http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/TF/WildChild13.htm Brian hasn’t seen his son in several years; now Gus is twelve and out of control, so Mel and Linds send him back to Pittsburgh to live with Brian.

“Wicked Intentions:” http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=516
“Wicked Intentions 2” by Doppelganger: http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=616 Teenage Gus falls in love with a younger version of Brandon, who has only wicked intentions.

“Family Matters” by thghtlsscmng: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2746153/1/Family_Matters Gus never knew Brian because of Melanie, on his 18th birthday he decides to go find his father.

A few post-513 fics; “Wedding Night” by Phobos_girl: http://qafvault.com/weddingnight.htm Brian and Justin’s wedding night. It’s ridiculously romantic.

“A Moment on the Lips” by Sapphire: http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=601&ageconsent=ok&warning=3 (There’s a short sequel to this one called “What a Wonderful Life.”) Justin becomes anorexic after moving to New York.

“A Lesson In Loving” by Mouse: http://web.archive.org/web/20050319114657/www.midnight-whispers.com/A+Nony+Mouse/alessoninloving/index.htm Brian and Justin broke up, and Justin went to Paris. A few years later, Brian is preparing to marry someone else when Justin shows up after the recent death of his new lover. But what is the secret that haunts Justin?

“Love Remains” by bliss_ink: http://blissink.livejournal.com/tag/love+remains (The sequel is “Saving a Life:” http://blissink.livejournal.com/tag/saving+a+life Brian and Justin are trying to maintain a long distance relationship, when an old lover of Brian’s shows up.

“Five Years” by Littletwat: http://littletwat.livejournal.com/tag/five+years (Chapter six is actually missing on there, for some reason, but you can read it here: http://littletwat.livejournal.com/4373.html And there’s a WIP sequel, “Pulling Through:” http://littletwat.livejournal.com/tag/pulling+through Justin has lost his memory of the last five years.

“I Feel Alive” by nyrak20: http://inner-justin.livejournal.com/tag/i+feel+alive Justin gets into drugs after moving to New York.

“Mine by Elyxer: http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=697&ageconsent=ok&warning=3 Justin is turning 30, but it’s Brian who has a problem with it.

And to get away from all that angst some humor - “The Bracelet” by Miss Mako: http://heelsoverhead.net/stories/bracelet.html Justin needs a $1,000 so he agrees to be Brian’s slave for a month. I love the punch line to this one.

“Family Matters” by Angelus1: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2873411/1/Family_Matters Gus has to decide who will be at this HS graduation.

And here’s the rest of my recs page: http://delicious.com/natalilaurin/?sort=alpha&order=asc most of them are rated from one to 5 stars and marked as completed, WIP, one-shot or abandoned.

Also if you want to take a look, I have a couple of other rec lists on my livejournal, including my complete list of hustler-Justin and a list I just did of amnesia-Justin fics: http://elvenfixation.livejournal.com/2481.html

[merkuria.livejournal.com]

Definitely go with the nostalgia posts linked above, I will just add one of my favourite, if not the favourite Brian story:

http://winterweathered.livejournal.com/492.html

All else by that suthor is very much worth reading as well.
