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

Kudos for the detailed memory! :D

I confirm, the fic you're searching for is "Commuter Flight Stories" by netlagd and has been completed. (There's also a sequel, "Turbulence", that is still a WIP.)

You will have to friend her fic journal netfics in order to read it, I don't think it is up anywhere else.

well, it was up on bjfic.net - but it is still down
and it was up on an old iteration of Midnight Whispers, but after it went down for the 2nd time I stopped there.

I keep toying with the idea of putting it up at Across the Pond, but can't find the time.

I wonder if I commit to a chapter a month I can finish Turbulence this year?

I'll drink to that! I'm on chap 27 of EJ (again). I'm a big fan.

Yes, that's where I originally found CFS. I'm starting to forget the times when BJFic.net was still up and running, it's been so long.

Can't blame you there, Net.

I still find LJ to be the most appealing way to post fic, though it did take some getting used to in the beginning. Oh boy, it did. Mostly I'm just feeling ambivalent about these archive sites, though I'm sure it's less complicated for LJ foreigners to get around there.

Speaking of, wasn't there talk of someone setting up a QaF fic archive on LJ some months ago? I had that flagged as a cool project. Whatever happened to it?

Worth a try, I'd say? I bet there's a bunch of people more than willing to cheer you on. ;)

It's bloodyrose82, who are one of the mods on bjfic that started this :)

[sakesushimaki.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, thanks! bloodyrose82 was that someone.
Now that you mention her, I think I even emailed her links to my fic or something, but I have no idea what went on from there, ha ha.

I hope they didn't kill that project. It was such a good concept to compile just links to the fic into an exclusive LJ archive.

I love this story, and I'm quite excited to be able to read it again. And the sequel finished? That would be great! I saw you friended me, may I friend you back?

[netfics.livejournal.com]

you're welcome to friend me back, but I don't believe you have to friend me to read my journal. However, since the journal is f-locked *I* have to friend you so you have access.

p.s. I love Aruba - I have a timeshare there and go there annually

There are stories you can't forget, even if you have no idea where you read them ;) Thanks
