Looking for AU fics where either Brian or Justin is an Angel

[turtlegirl922.livejournal.com]

Sounds bizarre, I know, but I was reading "Teen Angel" by Rena and got to wondering if there are other stories like this.

I'm looking for something where either Justin or Brian are an angel but get a chance to come back as a mortal human again. It doesn't matter to me if the story starts out with one of them as an angel or if they die during the story, just as long as they get a second chance at life by the end. Please, no permanent death fics...my heart can't handle the sadness. Happy endings only...

Hopefully someone out there has some links to share.

Oh, btw, here's the link to Rena's "Teen Angel" in case anyone's interested:

EDIT: Some stories found...links in comments. Would still love some more recommendations...Keep 'em comin'!

Uh, I remember one, where Michael is dead and his ghost creeps around Brian's loft and starts to harm Brian and Justin.
Later Justin went to the loft alone, when brian was in his apartment, and he started to... glow? Bright light etc and Mikey-ghost disappeared.
I don't think it was clear, but I always assumed he was an angel or at least smth similar to it.

I don't have a link right now, but if you're interested in this plot, I'll search for it ^^

Wren's 'Never have, never will', there's a continuation 'always have, always will'. don't know how to link, but the stories are up in MT.

Yeah, I've read that one too...Can't remember what it's called though. Justin has super mental powers or something. I think in that one he had written the Rage comic and based the character of Rage on himself. I could be remembering incorrectly though.

It's not quite what I'm looking for, but if you remember the title and who wrote it, I'd be interested in knowing.

Yeap, that's the one @ Rage comics, lol

and anon is right, it was 'Never have, never will' on Moonshadow Tribe ^^

try 'not everything' by Xie. Justin is an angel.

Ooh! I'd forgotten this one. Thanks!!!

*Off to re-read this gem...*

Try Reaper Boy by wrenlet. It's under nanowrenlet at http://nanowrenlet/livejournal.com

That's not a second chance fic, it's a death!fic. The poster doesn't want permanent death fics.

[turtlegirl922.livejournal.com]

Thank you for posting this!!! Death!fics totally depress me. In my world these beautiful boys live forever!

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

That fic ripped my gut apart. I read it once. I couldn't read it again. It's brilliantly written, but I couldn't take it.

Oh!!! This isn't an angel fic, but it is kind of a death and back to life fic. Actually, there are two. The second one is kinda final, but...it really is worth reading. I'll let you decide, but it's one of the few "death fics" that I will read more than once.

The first one is The Wish and the sequel Anything Goes, by Irina. They're available for download under the "DL Even More Fics" link. The second is Counting Blue Cars (http://mclachlan.livejournal.com/tag/counting+blue+cars) by mclachlan. Give this a shot, it's beautiful.

[turtlegirl922.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've read the two by Irina...but it's been a while. I'm thinking I need to reread them.

Maybe I'll give "Counting Blue Cars" a try...I'll have to psych myself up first. The summary makes it sound like Justin has been gone for a while, so maybe it'll be okay. I can't stand reading anything where Brian or Justin actually die as part of the story...way too hard to read.

I did read a fic recently where Justin had died that actually is very good. It's "Beyond All Reason" by connorblond. It was a little painful to read at first...but it really is a fabulous story. It's flocked, but Connor seems very fair about friending those who are truly interested. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already. Here's a link to Connor's journal: http://connorblond.livejournal.com/

Thanks again!

Oh, I forgot to mention that "Beyond All Reason" is a WIP, but it is updated fairly frequently.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

I'll...think about it. lol

There's another mclachlan fic that sort of fits this. It's called Invincible (http://mclachland.livejournal.com/tag/qaf:+invincible), a Rage/JT story. Sort of. Justin becomes a real superhero. And dies. And comes back. Dude, it's Mclachlan, just read it. It has some graphics, even!! I remember reading this as a WIP.

She's one of the best writers we had in fandom. Everything is IC, written to within an inch of its life, and worth the read. Ask anyone that's been around for awhile. They'll back me on this. *glares around* They'd better. *g*

So...I read Counting Blue Cars. All I can say is that it should come with a kleenex warning. Man, I cried buckets. Good fic though.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it. It is a beautiful fic, sad, but...kinda liberating at the end, I thought. I thought that Brian would be able to go on at the end, having proof that when it was his time, that Justin would be waiting.

[camelhaircoat.livejournal.com]

I did read the poster's request and it is a sort of a second chance fic, wherein B/J are together at the conclusion. And certainly Counting Blue Cars, while wonderful, is permanent in the end.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I told her upfront that it was a death!fic of sorts. I try to warn for death/torture/rape in case people have triggers.

[camelhaircoat.livejournal.com]

I understand your POV. I actually re-read the ending this morning after our discussion to be sure that I had remembered it correctly and, although a death!fic, I thought it had a happy ending. Next time I will qualify my answer, though.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

No sweat, darling. I always try to warn for death!fic, because a lot of people really don't like them, even when well written. And with the other topics I mentioned, I see lots of conversations where people want to be warned about those things. So I make sure that I do that. Just something to think about. *g*

On the back of a hurricane (http://inner-justin.livejournal.com/tag/on+the+back+of+a+hurricane) is an ongoing where Justin is an angel, by inner_justin.

I have been reading this story...can't wait to see what the author does with it.
