I’ve read quite a few Brian and Justin “meet in a different way” stories and, while some of them are well written and start off in an interesting way, almost all those that I’ve read soon devolve into a rehashing of QAF plots and characters. Are there any other good BJ meet-differently stories that remain original, creating new characters, situations and plots, without relying heavily on the same-old canon events (e.g. cancer, Babylon bombing, Stockwell), and without losing the essential nature/personalities of Brian and Justin?
Note: I found a really good "meet in different way" story via a request/recommendation for another kind of story. This one fits MY request to a T, and the writing is excellent: A THROW-AWAY WORLD by moonbriteness:
