"Classics" search/Newbie recommendations?

[scarhead_ferret]

Hello all!

I'm rather new to QAF fanfiction and eager to read lots of stories.  That being said, I don't really know where to start!

So if anyone has any "Must read!"/Classic/newbie recommendations to get the ball rolling, I would be so grateful!  As far as pairings go, I really like Brian/Justin, however I'm open to other possibilities as well.  (

and part two: http://amelialourdes.livejournal.com/347122.html

If you come across anything by Myrna, READ IT. That's my rec to you: Myrna. Everything she's ever written is amazing, most notably her tumor!fic. You'll find it. ;)

Happy reading!! :D

Here are some of my favs... some of them may not necessarily be considered "classics" but I they're fics I read over and over and still never tire of reading:

Inescapable by Suzvoy: Brian and Justin don't meet until the bombing in 510 where Justin saves Mikey

After the End by bloodyrose82: Post 513. Justin lives in NY and comes home for Debs birthday party. Extremely angsty. Second person POV. Excellent writing. Keeps in character 100% of the time and in the same style as the show (with prologues and epilogues in each chapter like Mikey's intros in some episodes)

Truth in Advertising by scoobygang8: B/J meet when Justin gets an internship at Kinnetik. They start out their friendship with a sort of prank war which is totally hilarious

Subject to Change by soundczech: AU where Brian moved to NY in season 1. It's 5 years later and he and Justin haven't spoken in 3 years when they run into each other at a club and become close friends.

Something More by branknewloser87 AKA Carly: HS AU (My favorite kind of AU!) where B/J have been best friends since they were

Anything by Myrna is a classic, because they're all over 5 years old.

And damned good.

I would give almost anything for her to finish TOWJIWAGABI.

You want classic, in character stories?

Here you go!

You don't have to have an Insane Journal account (but you should!!!) to read these. There was a mirror comm here on LJ, but it's not updated anymore. All of the must-read fic in fandom from way back to right now gets rec'd there. Start at the top and work your way through. If you come across any links that are broken, let me know, and I'll either get you an alternate link, or let Bunny (the mod) know so that she can fix it.

Enjoy! And welcome! Any questions about this comm or any fics, whatever, feel free to drop me a PM!

This is perfect, thanks so much!!
