My Animal by mcpofife (NC-17)
Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: US
Pairing: Brian/Justin

Why this must be read: Because it takes a popular fic cliche in this fandom - Brian, who doesn't give a crap about animals, gets a pet - and actually makes it work. It works because it's well-written, and handles the subject with a great deal of humour :D Brian, being Brian, doesn't want the dog at all to begin with.
The next morning went fine; Brian ignored the damn thing and let Justin take care of it, but eventually Justin left to do Important Justin Things, that Brian never asked about because he didn't want to have to sit through an answer. He glanced at the sleeping pup warily. He hoped it would stay asleep until Justin came back, but he doubted he'd be that lucky. Sure enough, a couple hours later he heard whimpering coming from the crate. He went and peered into it. "What the fuck are you whining about?”
The puppy looked up at him sadly and made a plaintive noise.
"What's your problem, you little fleabag?" Brian frowned. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed Justin.
"Hello?"
"Hey, the beast is crying," Brian said. "You better come home and shut it up."
"He's probably hungry. Feed him three-fourths of a cup of puppy chow," Justin told him.
"What about me? I'm hungry. Who's gonna feed me?" Brian complained.
"Make yourself a sandwich," Justin said. "I've got to go, okay? I'll see you later."
Brian said, "Yeah, be here for dinner. I'm making Beast Stew."
It's set between seasons four and five, and I honestly find it a great read. I've read it a bunch of times :)
