Sympathetic to Brian

[colormecrazy-9.livejournal.com]

***RECS*** pretty please with Strawberries on top (Cherry's make me gag)

I want some good stories (preferably longer ones) that are more sympathetic to Brian. I don't want Justin bashing, and fully understand that Brian could be pretty crappy to him. But the majority of the stories I read blame Brian for everything, like he is just a huge a**hole who doesn't care what happens to those around him, and then when reading a story and the author makes Brian do something jerky (and lets face it, it's kind of a requirement for a QaF story) all the comments are all "Oh poor Justin, such a saint for putting up with that A**hole!) I some how always want to smack them and say "HEY! What about Brian, they're are generally good reasons for the A**holishness."

Oh, and I'm all for stories that have Justin defending Brian, or understanding why he does what he does (because he's "on to him")

Thanks a bunches

I'd rather say that some fics make Brian kind of a saint. But it's not better to make Justin the saint either, or to make Michael the villain, which is also very popular in fandom. The recs will hopefully point you to the right fics.
