This rec will be quick and easy because describing this fic is quite simple: it has the most well-written inner voice of Brian I have ever read, or can even imagine ever reading. Writing Brian's thoughts or point of view is hard. I often fuck it up and make it seem a little (or maybe even a lot) off. I've read fics that have managed to pull it off ( Read more... )

I've really enjoyed a lot of perianella's fics and am particularly in love with this one. Few things I've read have managed to portray so well the closeness and perfect compatibility Brian and Justin have that is not quite like anything I've seen with any other TV or movie couple. I've always seen their relationship as one that defies the idea that there's a ( Read more... )

I have rec'd a couple of ficlets by my sister vdkapenguin before, but I swear I am no nepotist. Really. LOL. I can't help it if her work is awesome even by my ridiculously picky rec criteria and she also happens to share my genes. In fact, I am constantly bugging her to embrace her dorkiness and write fic more often. Considering she actually finally got ( Read more... )

It seems like some of the best fics are ones with a plot that sounds like a really outrageous and unusual idea but which the writer actually manages to make work. For example, "How To Be Dead", which is about Vic being a ghost, up until now is still the best QaF fic I've ever read. And now R.C.'s stories in her "Invincible" arc are about Justin ( Read more... )

Somewhere in the back of your mind, you know that there is a definite link between the development and increase in canvas size to the length of your relationship with him. They matured with each other. Like siblings that loved each other, that fought every day. Just because there was anger, that didn’t mean they weren’t always there for each other. ( Read more... )

So, thunderstorm, middle of the night, and Justin is wondering how the fuck Brian is sleeping through it, but he is. Eyes closed, hair messed-up, one arm thrown across Justin’s chest that would never be there if he was awake. Brian sleeps like someone who really doesn’t give a fuck about anything, but pretty much everyone’s seen through that little ( Read more... )

These 5 ficlets were done for a writing meme which calls for writing drabbles each inspired by one line of lyrics from a song. The author very creatively wrote moments in time that go perfectly with the lyrics. My favorites are the first one, which explains in so few words how translucent Brian is to Justin and how Justin sees things in him he ( Read more... )

"Most parents love their kids unconditionally, and that’s great," says Vic, "and kids get two people who love them unconditionally, and they’re lucky, and they deserve it, and it’s great. And you didn’t get that, and that sucks, but you know what, Brian? Parents love their kids because they have to, it’s just biology. But you know what you did? You ( Read more... )

Yes, new fandom! I randomly decided to try watching Queer As Folk a couple months ago and it became a huge addiction and my solace during the end-of-semester craziness and stress. And I'm glad to have discovered that even though the show is over, the fandom is still more or less alive and kicking and there's some pretty damn good rec-worthy stuff ( Read more... )
