Brian struggling to earn some money or living on the streets

Hello!
I’m here for the fist time and I hope somebody can help me. There’re a lot of stories with Justin being broke or even leaving on the streets, but I’ve never read any stories with Brian having the same problems (I don’t mean ep 314 kind of money problem). Does anybody knows some AU stories with Brian without money and Justin helping him?
Thanks in advance.


Found several stories: links in the comments. Thanks to everyone.

The only one I can think of is Swept Away (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=jane2005) by [livejournal.com profile] jane2005. Brian works on Ethan's yacht, Justin is Ethan's "rich" boyfriend. But things aren't what they seem. They get swept away to an island and have to find a way to survive and get off. It's a great story, as is everything that Jane wrote.

Brian not the one with money

Have you read So Much More by Meredeth? I think it's kind of what you are looking for. It's totally AU. Justin has inherited a lot of money from his parents. He lives in a large house with his partner who is dying of AIDS. He goes out driving one night and meets Brian, who is a hustler, and brings him home. If I recall correctly, Brian is hustling in order to pay for college. Things get complicated and Brian ends up staying with Justin at his house. Here's the link: http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/MerF/More.htm

Hope you like it!

I was just about to rec this one! Had the link ready and everything. DAMN YOU!! :D

So I'll just second this rec. I liked it...but I'm biased to Meredeth's fics anyways.

Usually I'm the one that is just a little late with the links...sorry I stole your thunder!

I'm with you on Meredeth's stories. I've re-read some of them so often I practically have them memorized. Her AU's were some of the first ones I read after discovering QAF fanfic and I love them just as much now as I did then.
