Funny or feel-good fics

So it's my 24th birthday and I would love it if you would all distract me from the fact that I am now in my mid-twenties and how my quarter life crisis is on its way.

In all seriousness, I am looking for feel-good or humorous QAF fics. Of course I love B/J but it can be any pairing or not focused on a romantic pairing at all. I am just looking for something to make me smile. There can be some angst but I am not looking for anything too upsetting.

Many recs in the comments! :)

Thanks!

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 :)

Thank you for everyone's help.

Brian and Justin meet in Paris

Hi all,

I'm now looking for a fic where Brian is in Paris for a week (for work, but also post Cancer) and meets Justin, who is painting murals on walls for a living. They spend the week hanging out before finally sleeping together. Of course they fall in love, at which point Brian freaks out and flies back to Pittsburgh. Justin stalks him via email.

thanks!

Is it In Paris by scoobygang8

Shoot - seems it really is still unfinished. Anyone up for taking over (have seen that sometimes you great writers pick up unfinished fic)?

Stubborn Justin.

It's been a very long time since I last read qaf fanfics and I'm trying to find my favorites without remembering anything from the plot. Please, help me to find stories there preferably both Justin and Brian are stubborn with elaborate and interesting character. A brilliant example of such story that fits perfectly is WIP TOWJWAGABI by myrna, except that I prefer finished stories.

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

B/J a power couple?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you know fics where brian and justin are equal when it comes to their careers?

because the majority of the fics i've read have brian being all rich and successful already and justin's either a hustler, a student, a starving artist looking for a job or just some random joe. I mean even if it's canon, they always make justin just average. you know what I mean? haha anyway, I'm just looking for fics where maybe they're both already established in their careers and they're both already well known. I guess maybe it would have to be post 513, but AU's are okay too. Whatever you guys can give me is fine.

I also read one where they were described as being a power couple? so yeah, that's it. If you can help me find this 'power couple' fic and also fics that have them on equal footing, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Links of some stories are in the comments. Still looking for that 'power couple' fic though.:)

Just painting a mural in Europe meets Brian

Yup....me again: Had a flash the other day about a fic I read quite some time ago adn I can't find it in the tabs so I come once again to this fab. community for help.
Justing is in Europe, (either Italy or France....I think France but not sure) and is commissioned to paint a mural on a buildings outside wall. He and Brian meet and they spend time together touring around the area. Justin showing him places that the locals go to rather than tourists. I don't remember much else sadly.

Humor Fics.

Hi, I want to read some funny fics, I've already read all the fics in the tags so I was wondering if you can rec me any new humor fics, I prefer standalones since I don't have time for multi-chaptered fics. Thanks

Brian and Justin in character (for Queer As Folk purists everywhere)

(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).

New multi-chapter B/J fics

Hi everyone!
I know that people regularly request recc's for long, well-written stories, but they're usually asking for classics and the same favourite authors and titles come up. I've read all of these again and again, and I'm craving something new ...

What I'm looking for are new(ish) multi-chaptered fics that maybe aren't often recc'd but that you think are worth the read. I'm not bothered about subject matter as long as the plot's interesting and the characters are well-drawn - AU's are fine, but please no MPREGs or death-fics. And while I love possessive, protective Brian I like him to stay canon ... no calling Justin 'baby' or suddenly being up for fathering or adopting a tribe of children. I'd also prefer complete stories or at least WIP's with regular updates.

I post my own stories at Midnight Whispers and Fanfiction, so I've read most of the recent stuff on those sites - I love Turning Points by Strongatheart and Timeless by Cynical, but maybe you know of a story posted somewhere else or a gem I might have missed. Any suggestions would be great ...

Thanks in advance!

Whoo-hoo! Lots of happy reading in comments. Thanks guys!

Brian or Justin Break up with another character and get together

I've read so many stories where Brian and Justin are with someone else, whether it's Ethan or an OC, and the boyfriends are complete jerks who obviously don't deserve Brian or Justin.

What I am in the mood for is stories where although Brian or Justin's boyfriends treat them well and truly love them, B or J realize that they only want the other and they break up with the boyfriend.

I would prefer complete stories or stories that have at least been recently updated. And Brian and Justin must get together.

Please and Thank You.

Sexual Tension

Hi! I'm looking for any recs involving sexual tension that isn't resolved 'til the end, ie: Brian and Justin not getting together/having sex until later in the story. Probably AU fics are what I'm after. I love stories where they jump in bed right away and all, but sometimes there is so much beauty in the build-up.

Also, I just read

britin_manor's A Thousand Beautiful Things, so I'm kind of ruined to anything else. Ha! Thanks.

Office pranks

Hello,

I'm looking for a fanfiction where Brian and Justin are collegues and they pull pranks on each other.

I also remember that Justin, talking to another character (maybe Daphne), explains that he had a prank idea involving Brian's phone and some coins from the tv series "The office".

Can you help me?

Thanks.

Edit: Story found in record time! Link in comments. Thanks to all of you :)

AU meeting, with the boys teasing each other

Hello guys!

I'm in a mood for preferably long fics where B and J haven't met in the beginning. I don't care how they meet but I want it to be hot, I want them teasing each other and making each other crazy in a good way. Something that will make me squee here!

Suggestions anyone?

A couple of recs in the comments. More will always be welcome.

HIV, Abuse, Amnesia, AU

I am completely new to all of this so I am still learning the ropes here. Anyway, I am looking for any stories that has to do with Brian and Justin obviously. I've looked through the memories but didn't find much to read. So, I'm looking for any sort of stories that has to do with HIV, abuse, amnesia and is completely off canon.

HIV, anything from Brian having it, to Justin having it.
Abuse, I'd rather read Justin being abused, whether its by Brian or someone else.
Amnesia, anything is fine with this one too.
AU, anything for this as well.

I'm pretty sure that probably is not a story that has all four things I am looking for, but if there is, that would be great.

FOUND... links in comments.
Thank you all who had posted.

Hi guys!

Is there any fic where after Justin moves on after 513 and has a boyfriend/partner, Brian as the stalker, well, in his way, begs him back? I know the "stalker" or "beg" thing is not that BK, but i really want to see begging! Brian... like, Justin being serious with the boyfriend doesn't want to come back to Brian at first, even though he knows he still loves him.. i mean, how can he not! lol

I don't mind angst, as long as there is a happy ending!

Thanks soooo much!!!
