(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).

Hey girls (and boys?) :-)

I’m looking for some good stuff to read. Since I’m not so new to the fandom (but also kinda new) I know some fics already and going through the tags doesn’t help me, because I have to read the fics to know if they’re good, you know?

So…

I’m looking for angsty fics, I love some good angsty stuff! It should be B/J centered and not too much out of character (I do not want nicknames like “Baby” or Brian saying “I love you” every second line). I have no problem with AU’s and it doesn’t matter if it’s completely AU or starts somewhere during the original show. Please no WIP!

So, who knows some very good stuff for me? :-)

I already read the following stories:

- Only time by xie
- Keeper Series by vamphile
- Whore in a Hoody
- A lesson in loving
- The Weirdness

Hmm… I read a lot lot lot more but I don’t remember the names of the stories!!

I hope someone can give me some advice :-)

Thank you so much!


EDIT:
Tons of links in the comments.
Thank you so much, now I have fics to check ;)

[livejournal.com profile] marilla_pm67 asked last week about posting a link to her fix index and that sounded like a really fab idea to us, your adoring mods.

So! We would like to invite all authors to participate in this little exercise. Over on IJ, there's even a comm (which we'd forgotten about), devoted to this topic. Please check it out to see some existing examples of author indexes: qaf_indexes.

Acceptable formats are indices like those in the link above, or links to your your website, your page on an archive, or a Very Tidy memories page.

The index pages will be tagged as author entries. We think this will be a really useful tool for finding more fics by an author whose work you enjoy. At least we hope it will be! This is a first pass at this, so we may refine things as we go along.

Please submit your links in the comments and we'll get them tagged as soon as possible. Thanks!

I just read two really horrible  fanfics in a row.  I am stupid, but I have to finish once I start.  Anyway, I feel the need to cleanse my brain with something great, so I'm looking for recs.  Something in character and well written.  Absolutely NO  mpreg or rape.
Thanks

EDIT: I have gotten some pretty good recs, but I would always appreciate more.  Thanks to those who responded so quickly.

Please help, I´m looking for any fic with injured or however beaten Brian - temporarily or for good - it doesn´t matter. And with loving and caring Justin of course. If there sex is involved in - all the better.:-) The same for the lenght - the longer the better. I´ve already known Close to Home by Thyme and Painting Lessons by Jane and Broken Image by Susan K. James + NLPax (too much Mikey for my liking but excelletly written othrewise). Are there more of similar fics anywhere? Thanks for any help.

I´ve found some thanks to [livejournal.com profile] court1429. Links in comments.
