Brian/Justin AU (they met later and in a different way)

[beachday.livejournal.com]

Help please! I’m looking for a fantastic story, that was a WIP when I read it quite while ago. It’s a Brian/Justin AU, and this is what I remember:
- Brian and Justin met while commuting from Pittsburgh to New York
- Brian owns Kinnetik, the Diner and Babylon and is teaching somewhere in NY
- Justin is already a known artist
- they share a hotel suite during a snowstorm
- when Justin can’t move into his newly renovated house/studio, Brian offers he can stay and paint at Britin
- Brian and Justin have quite hot pool sex (this I remember reeealy well)
Michael is jealous when the whole gang visits and he sees how comfortable Brian and Justin are with each other.

Found! It's Commuter flight stories by netfic

Thanks for the fyi. Apparently, the old days of being able to leave a comment to get friended is gone.

Leaving a comment is fine, but most of the time it doesn't work on my journal. It may have to do that the journal is flagged with an over 18 caution. It's easier just to PM.

No, leaving a comment to be friended is fine. In fact, some f-locked LJs have a sticky post up saying "comment below to be added."

It's just that you made that request in a community that's not owned by the author. E.g., netlagd has a fic comm, netfics, which she created to make it easier for people who just want to read her fics.

Since LJ can be kinda iffy on email notifications and not everyone tracks posts, there's at least a 50/50 chance that an author might not get your friend request comment if made in a journal or comm that doesn't belong to her. And that doesn't do anyone any good at all!
