B/J FANFIC RECS

Here's a list of my favorite QaF fanfiction... I really think you should read them all...they're that good...

All fics are US QAF and of the Brian/Justin pairing unless otherwise stated.

Also, many of the stories here contain very explict male/male sex, and at the very least have a lot of bad words in them. Please don't read if you are not of age or are easily offended by this type of material.

Can't Beat 'Em Written for the Queer as Folk Grocery Store Challenge.

Reinabelle
Elemental Drifts Justin wasn’t stupid. Anytime he let himself think about the situation rationally for more than 10 seconds he realized it was kind of ridiculous. Written as #2 of my Fic of my Dreams challenge-ish thing.
I Sing The Body Electric The music pulsed through Justin’s body as he danced, half-drunk, against Brian's grinding hips. Written as #4 of my Fic of my Dreams challenge-ish thing.
We Two Boys Together Clinging Brian came home late one night a few weeks after Justin had returned from California. Post S4.
George W. Bush Sucks Cock In Hell Justin came home one night after spending most of the day in the studio at school working on a painting.
Mistletoe and Ho Ho Ho “How long do we have to stay?” Brian asked as they pulled up in front of Debbie and Carl’s house on Christmas Eve.
I Stop Somewhere Waiting for You Justin stands beneath the showerhead wishing the warm spray would do more to stop his racing thoughts.
Ecstatic and Insatiate “Why don’t I just show you?”
The Sunshine Seeks My Little Room “I think that you should stay in tonight.” Justin smiles at Brian from his perch on a kitchen stool.

Rhiannonhero
Deeper Than Death Brian stood shirtless and barefoot on the hardwood floors. His jeans rode low on his hips, and he felt the frayed hems graze the tops of his feet.
Return of Dreams Ficlet inspired by Give Me Back My Dreams by The 6ths.
A Thousand Feet and Climbing Staring at the bedroom ceiling, smoking his fifth cigarette, Justin reviewed it all again. Post-308 Fic.
Partner Justin studied Brian as he stood in the kitchen, wrapped in his blue robe, making coffee. Post S3.
Figs and Leaves Jennifer knocked sharply on the loft door and waited, clutching her purse to her chest.
Incarnadine Porn. Then some more porn. Then porn again.
Love is a Lie Brian knows goddamn well why he can't tell Justin that he loves him.

No Longer Seventeen Future fic (it's Justin’s thirtieth birthday), it has (no) coffee and Brian and no presents and rules and lots of other things...
Building Memories Justin is looking down on the crowded streets beneath him, watching the people rush up and down the pavement, bags in their hands and grim expressions on their faces. Christmas/New Year’s 2006.

Gapfillers: Various gapfillers from all the seasons.
Standalones: Stories not related to a specific episode.
"Take Flight" Series The first story in this series was written for the first challenge on the BJImprov mailing list, and it somehow became a series. In keeping with the theme of the first story, all chapter titles are Rolling Stones songs.
Fanfic100 Collection 100 stories about Brian and Justin, based on the word prompts given by the community.

Shannon Marie
Roughousing Justin likes it a little rough, so Brian doesn’t pay any attention to his grunts and groans as he uses his full weight to push harder, driving Justin deeper into the cushions.
Show and Tell “Hey.” Justin kissed his ear. “You need to take a break. Eat something… preferably me.”
The Storm Within Brian looked up as the loft door opened and closed. Justin was wet from the storm and Brian could hear him wheezing a little over the soft patter of rain.

Shayla
The Language Of Our Silences In the summer following the season three finale, Brian and Justin speak in the silences.
Worth the Fight Future, drama, humor, romance. The problem with the present is that it's stuck so awkwardly between the past and the future. Justin has a wrestling match with happiness ten years after the end of season 3. Written for Blow it With Feeling with the assignment of gratitude.

Sonofabiscuit
Fantasies “Tell me your weirdest most fucked-up fantasy,” Michael’s looking at me with his eyes wide open, the weed has made them a pinky white colour. Future, about 3-4 years after 513.

Starla
Discovery Channel Michael likes to watch. but not in a kinky way.
This Is Not A Pick Up Line Future. Justin runs into Gus.
Green Curry Sequel to 'this is not a pick up line'. Justin tastes like green curry.
The Triumphant Artiste This is set in 3.03, when Michael and Brian get high. Only in this, Justin stays. There's not much more to it than that.
A Presence B/J, J/M friendship.
Chart Topper In retrospect, it was probably Justin's fault that Brian happened to be this drunk.
Subject to Change "In a year, probably not even that long, you won't even remember my name. Oh, what happened to that kid who wouldn't leave me alone? Who thought he was in love with me. If you fucking think of me at all."
The Tick Tick Boom The first anniversary of the Prom. Based pre-307, though I've no idea if that really would coincide with the anniversary of the Prom. Forgive the plotholes.

Sue Walsh
Lights! Camera! Action! Michael finds porn in Justin's room. Really, really familiar porn.
So Bad, It Hurts Another fill in the blanks story. I noticed Justin did not join in the teasing about Brian's sub-compact rental car, which led me to believe that he had already seen it, which led me to this.
Where There's Smoke Brian and Justin share a joint... and more.
Patch It Up Together Justin and Brian discuss Pride. Up to Episode 204.

Suzvoy
Really Not A Big Deal You don't know why you're surprised. Cynthia has never had a subtle bone in her body. Post 513.
Push and Pull This is set after episode 122, but it's definitely an AU because in my 122 things went a *little* differently...
A Star is (Almost) Born When Brian got home, Justin greeted him with a blowjob. Everything up to the end of season four happened, so possible spoilers. Season five didn't. Future fic.
Identity Crisis Michael started hating Justin again right around the same time JR started calling Justin 'Dada'. Post-513 AU.
Sleeping With The Enemy From the expression on his face, Brian was about as surprised to see her as she was that she'd made the decision to come. Post 513.
The Things I Cannot Change A season one AU, definitely set before 107.
Inescapable Brian/Justin, rated NC-17. Serious AU, based around the episode 510. Knowledge of 510 would be a distinct advantage, and if you haven't seen it this fic could be considered a big ol' spoiler for what happens in said ep.
Stuck in Neutral Justin couldn't paint. He hadn't been able to paint for nearly two weeks, and it frustrated the fuck out of him. Humour, schmoop, future fic set post-series so knowledge of the last ep is probably good.
Teamwork What if: ...Brian and Justin had gone on the Liberty Ride together? And stayed in a tent every single night they were away?

Superren
The love song of Brian A. Kinney Dare to be who you want to be. Even if who you want to be is a narcissistic asshole with a pretty blonde boyfriend.

Principles Vaguely post-S3. No spoilers. Brian will never stop tricking ... but Justin might.
Interlude No plot, no point, no nothing. Nothing, do you hear?
Love Or Something Like It Things could be Different, Brian thinks.
Subconscious Justin doesn’t think Brian knows that he’s started sleep-fucking.
Indestructible When Justin is in need of comfort, it is an opportunity for Brian to mature emotionally. So I asked the question … why does Brian have to grow? Can’t there be h/c without Brian growth?
Revelations Brian doesn’t know as much as he thinks he does.
Caution Brian’s not so good at expressing himself.
Normal Justin has bronchitis.
What They Do Justin/Daphne BFF fic, with some B/J undertones.

And In Health A glimpse into Brian’s new reality. Slight gapfiller and spoilers for 409.

Triciaqaf
Entwined Brian is holding Justin’s hand as they walk by. Set somewhere in early to mid-season 1. Written as #3 of my Fic of my Dreams challenge-ish thing.
Playful Justin slid the door open, head down as he walked into the loft. He was immediately greeted by the sweet, acrid smell of smoke.
Citizen Kane Set post-308, with a guest appearance... Written for snowinandblowin, the Queer as Folk Secret Santa.
Words Brian and Justin decide that words are over-rated...
Lessons “If you were serious, make sure you’re home before I am. You’ve got something new to learn…”
The Second Time Justin and Daphne talk about a certain night in S1… Set in late(r) S3 (after 308).
Gone A whole lot of dominant!Brian, a little bondage... be warned, all who go here... Brian/Justin, implied Justin/Emmett.
Painting I can hear him around me, behind me, puttering around the loft. Not that he’d ever call it puttering. BSMD
Holding On... It’s dark in the backroom. It’s the first time we’re back here after… after whatever it is that happened to us. To me.
Third Time’s the Charm “Bend over, Justin.” The tone of his voice brooks no argument, but he can’t be serious.
Crime & Punishment The wailing sirens were grating on Brian’s nerves. PWP.
Miss You Gapfiller (of sorts) for the end of 304. A short, angsty break-up sex...ok, actually, it’s very angsty – so be warned. :|
And What if I Don’t? A gapfiller of sorts for 213, based on Brian’s answer when Justin asked what would happen if he didn’t do his schoolwork…
Photo Shoot Justin shifted his weight from one leg to the other, balancing the phone between his shoulder and his ear. Justin tries out Shibari (Japanese bondage)
Absence Makes the Heart… “Cocky, aren’t you?” I heard that little intake of breath. “You should be here.” AU, post finale.
Witness Set at the end of 311, just after Brian gets canned and before the election. No real plot to speak of here, just mind blowingly hot porn.
Modern Art “The art gallery?” Brian’s smirk lifted his eyebrow high.
Mine Can Brian live without fucking Justin for two weeks?
Inevitable Nip/Tuck- QAF Crossover – it’s a Brian/Justin/Christian sandwich.

Reunification Reunions are rarely straightforward. Post 513.

Just Take What You Need Written for snowinandblowin, the Queer as Folk Secret Santa. Set in the murky future with no season five spoilers and no authorial knowledge of them, either.
Same Time Next Thursday Co-written with K for the "Coming, Then Going 513 Dream Ending Challenge". Brian gets to the diner at 12:15 which is ten minutes later than he planned, but it's not like Justin's going anywhere, so Brian doesn't really feel bad.

Lucky Written for snowinandblowin, the Queer as Folk Secret Santa. Post-S4, assuming that Justin went to California and came back already. Also, let’s say it’s late October. Spoilers through QAF Season 4 and, oddly enough, Buffy Season 7.
Brian Kinney Saves the Universe One morning as they were eating breakfast Brian set down the newspaper he was reading and said, "I should be a senator."
Thin Ice Post Season Five. Contains spoilers through the end of the series for both QaF and BtVS. There's a joke in here someone made on a message board years ago; apologies to whoever that was.

And They Rode Off Into the Sunset When Justin was seventeen, he was convinced that he and Brian were something special.

Reaper!Justin I am crossing Queer as Folk and Dead Like Me, and I am killing Justin. This is un-betaed rough draft text, blah blah blah... consider yourself warned ;)

Risks Sequel of Desires.
Just a Reminder _alicesprings wanted to know what Justin did the first time Brian got weird after he left for New York. I told her what I thought, and she said, "You must write me this fic." So I did.

Heatwave You declare that it's way too hot to set even a single toe outside and oddly enough, Brian agreeably decides to take you out shopping for drinks, rent a couple of DVDs and stay in the loft for the whole week and fuck.

Since December 2003
