I'm going to second the rec of "The Things I Cannot Change" by Suzvoy. It's S1 AU so pretty early on but the characterization is perfect.
Another Suzvoy fic is "Inescapable" a S5 AU where brian and justin meet for the first time at the babylon bombing. I recently re-read both fics (for I think the 9th time).
From those mentioned above, I really love these: Allie_quixotic's "After the Smoke Clears," Xie's "Only Time" series, plumsuede's "Framed" (I don't like beyond the yellow brick road as much).
One that hasn't been mentioned yet is "Choices" by England13, a 510-AU story that has on-spot characterizations.
Other authors who you MUST check out: Jans (Painting lessons, many many AUs), Arlad (The Space Between, many many one-shots), Julad (Like Having Sex, Love of His Life), and R.C.McLachlan
I'm constantly amazed by the depth of QAF fic writers, so I've saved all the stories worth re-reading (and re-re-reading) on my delicious site: http://delicious.com/csmars/favorite
You'll find everything I mentioned there. Feel free to wander.
