Get it Here

There is another one somewhere, I have been racking my brains trying to remember it. Its not a plane fic as such, but a 9/11 one, I think Brian has a meeting (maybe job interview) in one of the world trade centres on the morning of the disaster, but he is running late and ends up under a car in the aftermath of the falling towers and is found by a fireman. He ends up in hospital and manages to get through by cell phone to Justin. Justin along with all the others are waiting for news at the dinner. Michaal and Justin agree to drive the jeep as close to NY as they can get in an effort to get to Brian and get him home, as he just wants to get back to Pittsburg.

Hi Edom, thanks for the rec but thats not the one I am remembering. Brian was definatly in NY on his own, for a business meeting and he ends up caught in the dust clouds under a car, is draged out by a fireman and ends up in hospital. Justin is in the dinner, in Pittsburgh, its set in season 1 so it make sense thats its the time Brian is looking for a job in NY.

Stupid me I had it bookmarked after all, its Crisis Averted over on the libertydinner

From:

Is this the one where he ends up driving back from New York, like he bought a car or something?

From:

The first one in the link from jammer is the one where he buys a car in St. Louis or Ohio or somewhere and drives home.

From:

Oh, okay. I liked that one. I thought I'd read like 4 of them at one point, but could only remember the two posted here.

From:

No i think thats the one Edom linked

I would love to read this story but the link is dead and the Wayback machine doesn't bring anything up. Anybody have a working link?

From:

There are two other 9/11 fics I've read that aren't any of the ones listed in this post, but I can only remember one of them. 1) one where no one's in danger, well, none of the gang, when 9/11 happens, but it turns out that Craig is caught in the tower and leaves a message on Brian's answering machine for Justin. By Bailey, here (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/What/WI19.htm), and I'll keep thinking about the other one.

Are you interested in tsunami!fic, by any chance? It's another "real life event" fic and I have a copy I can email if you PM me your addy.

From:

You have tsunami fic!?!? Gimme, bitch!!! How can you deprive me of real world events fic???

From:

I love it when you go all dom and shit!

I know one other real events fic, well, two. One is Suzvoy's where Kinnetik folds in the economic crash and there's another one I've been trying to remember all night along with the 9/11 one and I can't even recall what event it's about. *ties thinking cap tighter* (or do you think I should loosen it a little? get a little air circulating? lol)

KNEEL, SUCKA!!!!! lol

I remember Suz's story, I told her that she made me cry!!! Actually, someone wrote a fic in response to that...I think it was Xie. Let me go check.

From:

I went to look for Suz's fic to link and couldn't find it in her Mems or her site. Was it a challenge fic? Very believable and I wanted it to continue.

how the fuck is it 2:30 in the morning and I'm not tired yet? good thing it's Friday and I'm not working tomorrow!

From:

I know, I'm still up, too. Was doing some tagging and memory entry.

I gotta go find that fic by Suz, hang on.

From:

i saw your save the fic! tag. I like it!

From:

Thought we could use that one!

From:

Found it!!!

*preens*

From:

Never mind, wasn't Xie. Someone did one where Kinnetik wasn't doing too good, but Brian didn't lose everything.

You know...I was thinking about how Brian is with money. With his own, he spends it like it's water, but he was very careful with Kinnetik. And as tight as Ted is, I don't think that the company would go under. The accounts might stagnate, but he'd be okay financially, and the main reason would be that it isn't a public company. It was the ones on the NYSE that went belly up. Oh, and Madoff? Brian would have hunted him down and cut his balls off.

From:

Yes, I just read that one in the last couple of days. He, Ted and Cynthia have a meeting and she says they're overstaffed, Brian says don't lay anyone off and then he asks Ted about Gus' college fund, etc. Can't remember what it was now, though. ;\

I agree; I don't think he or Ted is reckless. I would like to have an acct like Ted, actually.

From:

Me too!!

And yep, that's the fic I was talking about, the one where Brian doesn't want to lay off anyone.

might be Fall by Xie?

From:

From:

From:
