Brian meets with his parents and a priest in a trailer?

Umm... I'm so not sure of this one, but it's been running around in my head for the last couple of days. Either I have a totally QaF obsessed imagination, or I actualy read a fic in which Brian is in jail (or perhaps rehab) and meets with his parents and a priest (perhaps Fr. Tom) in a trailer on a visitation day. I think Joan brought dinner for them. That's all I recall and I don't think it was Medium Security by Gaedhal.

I hope one of your encyclopedic minds can help me!


FOUND: (So fast I didn't have time to blink!)  It actually is "Medium Security" by Gaedhal, found by [livejournal.com profile] kmboatright and, of course, [livejournal.com profile] gaedhal. Link to chapters in comments.
                                         

Brian deals with an addiction, Brian gets hurt

I'm not sure if there are any fics like this out there. I have tried looking in the tags but I got kinda lost :)

I am looking for a fic where Brian deals with some sort of addiction - maybe after he and Justin break up *sobs* and a fic where Brian gets injured and Justin is there to nurse him back to health :)

There might not be anything like this out there, but hopefully you guys can help x

Hurt Brian (got some recomendations)

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some fics where Brian gets really hurt and justin has to take care of him. I know there are a lot stories where Justin gets hurt. But are there any stories where Brian gets hurt?

Oh are there any stories where Brian gets hurt in the bimb episode?

Ps how do I add the tags? I tried and previewed my post and didn't see it


Thanks in advance

Melanie chooses Brian as the father AU, Brian/Emmett & Brian/Ted friendships, and Emmett fics

I was wondering if I could ask if anyone can recommend fics that sort of fit these scenarios.


1. Instead of deciding to go with Michael, Melanie chooses Brian as the father. Maybe they form a better friendship along the way.

2. I checked through the tags a month ago, but I would like some good friendship stories between Brian and Emmett, preferably when Brian isn't doing all that well (post 2x22 or post 5x13 or possibly something bad happens to Justin) or maybe Emmett isn't doing so well and Brian is actually the one who takes initiative to spend time with him. I have found more of Brian and Ted, but I will also take stories of them in a similar scenario as well. RECS POSTED BELOW

3. Any fics tell about Emmett's backstory? We hear snippets of Aunt Lula and getting matches thrown at him in the locker room, but I would like something to center around Emmett and his past. It can be pre-series, in-series, or post. It would be great if the rest of the gang was in it and helped him out though. Rec by [livejournal.com profile] gaedhal below


Also, I am a huge Brian/Justin shipper so if they are the main or side couple in any of these fics, that is completely fine. Also, hurt/comfort and angst are also wonderful (and sadistic) things.

Recent "iconic" fics?

Hello fellow QAF fic readers! I have a bit of a strange request but I'm hoping you can help!

I was a big fan of the QAF fandom "back in the day", but fell out of it for awhile and haven't really kept up with fics and the new-ish authors. I remember loving some amazing fics back in the day by authors like Allie-Quixotic, Raging Pixie, Bigboobedcanuck, Plumsuede, etc.

Obviously I can go through entries at BJfic, but I'm hoping those who have stayed more involved in the fandom over the past couple recent years can point me in the direction of some great newer fic/authors. Are there any fics that stand out to you in the last couple of years that are just absolutely WORTH THE READ that I shouldn't miss?

Only B/J pairing please :)

Order to Read Gaedhal FicS

Hi Everyone,

I understand you read you read 1) Queer Theories, 2) Queer Realities, and 3) Queer Identities in that order. But after that is there any particular order you read them in? I have never read these and want to keep any continuity the author intended. Thanks for your help!


Many thanks to kmboatright and gaedhal!

Gaedhal's fics

Mods, I apologise if this is an inappropriate post: please delete it if I'm stepping over any lines.

I've been following Gaedhal's latest QT stream, Coup de Foudre, only guess what? It looks like it may not be completed because of all the hostile comments the author's been getting because - get this - people don't like it being a B/J story! They're all sick of Justin, apparently, and Gaedhal's beginning to wonder if it's worth going on in the fandom if tastes have now swung so far that nobody wants to read anything B/J centred.

I don't want to kick off any Brian v Justin arguments, only to say that if you've enjoyed Gaedhal's wonderful fics then perhaps you could express your appreciation before we lose another great author from the fandom.

Sorry again if I shouldn't have commented on this here.

Brian meets Justin on a bridge at New Years?

I can't remember the fic or author but Brian meets Justin in NY (after they had broken up) and he asks Justin to at least go to this bridge to watch the fireworks... they both go and they kiss and someone takes a photo which is shown to Justin's current b/f but Justin and Brian reignite their affair the wiser.
Please tell me the name of the fic and the writer, I remember loving it.

Thanks in advance, love from 6frog

Found... thank you so much ntua... it's "The Boy from New York City" by scoobygang8.

can you give me a recommendation of a good fic for this newbie?

Okay. First of all, I may be new into this fandom, and I just started this show around month ago. Late? yes I know :P

And to fulfill my desire of B/J, I wanna read some fanfictions. The problem is, I don't know which one is the best one, and the not so long one.

so, can you give me your recommendations of your favorite fictions or the story / stories that you think the best one(s); One shot, chaptered ( I prefer the completed one. but on going is okay), humor, angst, AU, canon, Gap-filler, Mpreg (as long as it's not preggy!Brian), anything! Oh.. as long as the chapter wasn't more than 25 chapters (I'm easy to feel bored). I'm okay with break up story (should I say.. I'm really interested with that one), but happy ending, pleease. I'm hurt enough with the real ending.

Oh, Since I always see the comment here and there about "if you needed me" by Myrna is really good, I just started reading it now :))

Thank you for your recs!! :)
(by the way, what tags should I put here?)

Update : Thanks to everyone who gave me their recommendations of favorite fics :) Feel free to give me more. I'm still craving for it xD

Word files of Xie's It's only time and Gaedhal's QT, QR and QT series

Everything is in the title.

I'm searching for Word files (.doc or .docx) of Xie's series "It's only time" and Gaedhal's series "Queer Theories", "Queer Realities" and "Queer Identities". Ideally, it would be great if there was only one file for "It's only time", one file for "QT", one for "QR" and one for "QI" (or, why not, one global file for Gaedhal's series, although it might be quite heavy) :)

I have pdfs files of Gaedhal's stories but the font is really too small and I can't read them on my Kobo (it's like a Kindle, just not by Amazon). If I had the Word files, I could choose a bigger font size and save them in a pdf I could read on my Kobo.

I never read their stories and now that they're not WIPs anymore, I can't wait to start them!!

If nobody had the series in Word files, then I'll resigne myself to copy/paste aaalllll the chapters. I just don't have the time right now :(

Thank you for your help!

EDIT: I have a problem with the doc file of Gaedhal's stories that [livejournal.com profile] theextrac00kie sent me. So if someone else has the whole series, I'm still interested :)

EDIT 2: I now have Xie's "It's only time" series and Gaedhal's "Queer Theories"! I'm still hoping to get Gaedhal's "Queer Realities" and "Queer Identities" though.

EDIT 3: Found! Thanks to everyone! :)

Brian Gives In To His Feelings After Prom, Brian Tortures or Kills For Justin, Supernatural Elements

Hi, I just got three general requests, I know I've made several posts recently but it's because I often read several fics at the same time. Anyway I prefer NC-17 rated completed fics, the longer the better. However if the story is really good it's cool if it's a lower rating and/or short. If it's a WIP, though, please don't rec it to me unless it is updated regularly. Anyway, here are my requests:

1) Brian gives in to his love for Justin after the bashing and refuses to let Jennifer keep him from seeing him, and eventually wins her over. It would be cool if after Jennifer realizes that Brian truly loves Justin and would do absolutely anything for him, she suggests that Justin moves into the loft not just because Brian seems to help her son so much more, but because she really wants both of them to be happy. An added bonus would be monogamy and/or raw sex, but it isn't absolutely necessary and neither is Jennifer being the one to suggest that Justin move in with Brian because she wants them to be happy. Really I mainly want fics where Brian gives in to his feelings for Justin after the bashing and wins Jennifer over somehow.

2) Brian tortures and/or kills one or more people for Justin. Like maybe Chris Hobbs, for example. But he has to get away with it!

3) Any fics with supernatural themes, especially fics in which one or both the boys are warlocks/witches or there is mating. AUs are okay - I mean obviously any recs for this request will be AU because of the supernatural thing - but I'd especially love recs with these themes that follows the show at least to a point.

Well thank you guys! Later!

UPDATE: Lots of wonderful recs in comments! Thanks everyone!

Looking for long, scrupulously & painstakingly in-character, angsty, realistic, post 5-13 fics

(Confession alert!) I'm having trouble finding the "right" post-series fic. I've started several that seemed quite promising at first but then later went off the reservation character-wise. It's a bummer to start a multi-chaptered fic only to have it wander off into the tangled wilderness of OoC land. I'm not particularly a fan of fluff (especially Fluffy!Brian) or nothing but sex-sex-sex 24/7. I'm looking for something gritty and real and angsty, and the longer, the better. I want something that is going to totally engross me and satisfy my bottomless need for The Feels.

Thanks ahead of time!

ETA: Wow! Thank you all for the response! Some great suggestions in the comments!

AU with Brian as famous actor

Looking for a well-written au story which is a very, very, long with multiple parts. At the time that I last read it, the story was a WIP in progress--I'm hoping it's finished now. In the story, Brian becomes a well-known movie star (one character is built around Tom Hanks). Brian first meets this director as a kid when he became his lover while filming a documentary about his life as a boy on the streets. In this story, Brian has serious addiction problems, and ends up inheriting the director's home after he kills himself (and everyone but Justin blames Brian for it).

Seeking Brian/Justin Stories with Original Plots and Characters SUGGESTIONS IN COMMENTS + see note

I’ve read quite a few Brian and Justin “meet in a different way” stories and, while some of them are well written and start off in an interesting way, almost all those that I’ve read soon devolve into a rehashing of QAF plots and characters. Are there any other good BJ meet-differently stories that remain original, creating new characters, situations and plots, without relying heavily on the same-old canon events (e.g. cancer, Babylon bombing, Stockwell), and without losing the essential nature/personalities of Brian and Justin?

Note: I found a really good "meet in different way" story via a request/recommendation for another kind of story. This one fits MY request to a T, and the writing is excellent: A THROW-AWAY WORLD by moonbriteness: http://moonbrightnites.livejournal.com/10158.html

Brian is addicted to drugs

I'm looking for fics in which Brian has a serious drug problem. I've read one or two about someone in the gang realizing that the drug use we see in the show is an issue and trying to convince Brian he has a problem. I'm talking about a legitimate, serious drug addiction. I'm not really looking for rehab fics or fics referring to past drug use either, unless there are scenes in which Brian uses.

I vaguely recall a fic where Justin was the older one (I think) and Brian had a drug habit he used to numb the pain and rejection he received from his screwed up family. Justin develops feelings for him and tries to help him. This could just be an idea in my own head and, if so, I might just have to write it.

I'm open to stories in which Brian and Justin are both addicts that enable each other's addiction, if any exist.

A couple related fics found in comments.

Angsty recs

Hi!
I know this is in no way an original request or anything, but I'm addicted to angsty fics and every few months I like to ask around for new or rediscovered fics to break my soul. A little. Or, you know, A LOT.
I can read about everything. Whichever season, happy ending, not ending up together, death!fic, kid!fic... I do have my favourites, however:

- First break up. During or after the Ethan arc. Like Mesa's fic? That's a perfect setting.
- Post 5x13 but not together.
- Brian getting older and freaking out.
- General breaking up.

Only requisite is for the fic to be rip-my heart-out-of-my-chest angsty. And not much OOC, pretty please! They can be WIP, just, not abandoned works, cause they make me so sad!

Thank you, guys!

FOUND!: There are already some links in the comments. But feel free to keep them coming my way! :))))

Brian and Justin split for good.... Brian finds love with someone else

Following on from the request by [livejournal.com profile] sandraj60 … I was wondering if there are any stories out there where Justin and Brian break up for good, and BRIAN finds love and happiness with someone else? (since after 5 years with Justin he is a better man and certainly capable of it in my opinion)

I’ve read stories where he’s living with / engaged to someone else… but basically just using this person to fill the hole left by Justin and he doesn’t love them (and as soon as Justin reappears he ditches them quick-smart). 

Thanks for any help you may be able to give.


Update:  Lots of recommendations in the comments.  Will take me a while to get through them all so thanks for all your recommendations.
