(I tried to find a similar post but there is no such tag. The closest thing was somebody asking if some specific fanfics are in character and this is what actually gave me the idea to file such request.)

There are many fanfics out there - epic in proportions, well-written, with great plots. But I have to admit that many of them, even those considered must reads and classics - give me a feeling of OOC-ness. There's Brian - nice and affectionate in a schmoopy way, not afraid of commitment. There's Justin - pliant and a completely damsel in distress-like, letting others abuse and manipulate him. There's evil and plotting Michael that actively tries to break Justin and Brian up... No matter that according to canon!Brian, there's nothing to break up. There's even more evil Ethan, Mel and Lindsay being such bad mothers that their children have to be taken away and even though all of those plots are fun to play with, they're not very much true to the characters from the show.

So I was thinking about compiling a list of stories and authors, that could be considered QAF purists when it comes to characterization. No matter if it's a gap-filler, or an AU story, I just need something to sooth my QAF withdrawal, something that will really feel like the show.

I trust your judgement, even though I'm aware that people can feel very differently about some stories. It doesn't matter, I still want your opinion! (After a while, I'll compile your recs into a nice list and put it in this post, under the cut).

Big Damn IC!Rec List )

I am trying to remember the name/author of a fic that is post-308, and would love some help getting past my brain block please...

It is post-reunion and Justin is trying to be complete unemotional, unattached and passive with Brian. He ends up having a break-down because he can't take acting like everything is ok the way it is.  He is trying to stick to his "i know what to expect from you'" statement, but finds it very hard. Following him melting down, there is some very bittersweet h/c. I think it was from alternating perspectives, but I could be wrong.

I have been going through my bookmarks looking for this and I know it isn't Gradiva's Shadows fic (which is absolutely beautiful btw) and it also isn't Mesa's No Regrets (again, an amazing fic with sort-of similar feeling to it). I remember I read Gradiva's and Mesa's and then found this one and loved it for the same angsty post-reunion awkwardness to it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Cata

Hello,
I'm looking for a fic where Justin finds out about the look alike hustler and he asks Brian to show him what he did with the guy.
Are there any other fics besides that one where Justin finds out about the hustler?

Also, trying to find a working link to "Extraordinary Day" by punk_pixie. It used to be on Midnight Whispers. Or maybe someone saved it?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: The first one was found. Thank you! Link in comments.
Still looking for the punk_pixie fic.

Anyone know what this fic is? It's really bugging me 'cause I'm sure I know, but I just can't think of it...

Justin paints Brian 'old', as he imagines Brian would look in the future. He expects Brian to be pissed (I think?), but he's not.

Edit: Found! Link in comments.
