I think I've read them all ...

[cinnytje.livejournal.com]

I've been searching for a good 'in character' fic for a week now and I'm suffering from QAF-FanFictionWithdrawelSyndrome. I start reading fics and then conclude that they're too angsty (I can do angst, but not chapters and chapters long, I want my boys together and in love) or too OOC.

I've read them all, I guess but still I'd like to see if you can give me some recs that I might have overlooked.

Fic requirements:

- IN CHARACTER (one 'baby' from Brian and I'm gone)

- The boys must be together, breakups are fine but still, they have to end up together and I like to read about them together as well.

- Long fics are nice. (since it will keep me off the fanfictionstreets for a few days ;-) )

I think I've read the 'obvious' good ones like xie's, janet's, bdeviled's, chering/fansee's, etc. So I'm looking for the not-so-wellknown-but-really-well-written ones.

Of perhaps you know a way to find really good ones without having to read a lot of crap first (and I mean that in the most respectful way possible of course ;-) ).

Thanx! :)

Update: Plenty of good recs can be found in comments! Thanx! Off to read!

Definitely look at the recs you were given and add this link to your flist:

It's the rss feed to get the feed of qaf_retread, which now lives on IJ, to show up on your LJ friends page. Retread is a re-reading comm hosted by _alicesprings and happier_bunny and you will find tons of excellent fics and authors you're unfamiliar with.

The comm moved to IJ to take away some of the housekeeping chores of monitoring birthdates, keeping it locked, approving memberships, etc. It began here on LJ (qaf_retread though, so earlier entries are in the Memories, but it's just as easy to check the Memories on IJ, too, and you don't have to be a member. As I said, it's an open comm on IJ.

You'll be very happy you checked out this comm!
