B/J a power couple?

Nov 07, 2012 22:40

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you know fics where brian and justin are equal when it comes to their careers?

because the majority of the fics i've read have brian being all rich and successful already and justin's either a hustler, a student, a starving artist looking for a job or just some random joe. I mean even if it's canon, they always make ( Read more... )

I have no idea what actual fic the "power couple" thing is from, but it's familiar, and I'm 99% sure it's a post-513 where they've both moved to New York. There's a daunting 70 posts under it, but you might find what you're looking for in the b/j live in nyc tag.

Yeah, I know. It's annoying cause it's right there on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember what that fic was. haha

Okay, maybe I can check the tag out. thank you!

You must've been really unlucky with picking your reading :D I'd say the opposite of your problem is true: Justin is usually a huge overnight success in NYC and three or five years post-513 he and Brian can share expenses 50/50.

shootingstar November 8 2012, 00:48:44 UTC

oh right, obviously he would be established in 513 fics, I was thinking more in line of AU's, but yeah. sorry if it's not that specific in the request.:)

The very prolific Moonshadow Woman has written many stories with a well-established Justin or a super-Justin of sorts... Here are a few I like:

Growing Up Kinney by Myrna is one of my all time favorites. I believe it is the archive files.

I've read this. Is this the one where Justin's blind?:)

angkat114 November 8 2012, 01:06:52 UTC

No, I think the blind!Justin fic is "If You Needed Me" but it certainly is written by the same author.

shootingstar November 8 2012, 01:18:31 UTC

Really? I thought he was also blind in this one. haha but i've read it and I remember Justin goes blind too. hmm oh well, I can always re-read the fics.:) thanks!

allie_quixotic's How We Got Where We're Going is post-513, Gus is 18 and goes to live with Brian and Justin in NYC, Brian and Justin are well established. It's amazing, but be warned, it is angsty as hell. And worth it for that reason alone. You can find it in the GIH folders on the side.

I was also thinking maybe this was the power couple fic I was looking for. I'll go check it out. thanks!:)
