Looking for long, scrupulously & painstakingly in-character, angsty, realistic, post 5-13 fics

Jan 28, 2013 19:06

(Confession alert!) I'm having trouble finding the "right" post-series fic. I've started several that seemed quite promising at first but then later went off the reservation character-wise. It's a bummer to start a multi-chaptered fic only to have it wander off into the tangled wilderness of OoC land. I'm not particularly a fan of fluff ( ( Read more... )

Have you read xie_xie_xie's Only Time series?

Thank you! I've read the series - it was one of the first I read when I joined the fandom, and I enjoyed it very much.

I would suggest

Beyonf the Yellow Brick Road http://bjfic.livejournal.com/tag/plumsuede%20-%20beyond%20the%20yellow%20brick%20road (Just go back to find the first chap)
Justin has lived in New Yourk for 6 years before coming back to the Pitts. Pretty angsty even if they are back together, loads of New characters. There's also a Prequel: "Framed" http://bjfic.livejournal.com/132191.html
and a prologue to the prequel "Embark" http://bjfic.livejournal.com/369081.html#cutid1

Right now I can't think of anything else but it's 1.20 a.m. here so must be the sleepiness... I'll see if I can think of something tomorrow.

I love BYBR but keep in mind that a portion of the story takes place in "heaven". Either way it is a wonderful read. Be sure to read the prologue and prequel"Framed" and "Embark" they are well worth the time investment. Combine those with Xie's Only Time and you have a great few days of reading.

Interesting - I'm simultaneously curious and put-off by the heaven thing. I'll have to give it a try and see what it's all about. Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Thank you! It looks like BYBR has a lot of fans. I'm looking forward to checking it out.

What about Queer Theories? http://www.fortruthis.net/gaelmcgear/fanfictionpage.html by gaedhal ~ Yvonne xx

Haven't read it and will definitely check it out. Thank you!

Randall as one of my favorite Post 513 fics. It wrapped up the show well for me. Silence and Tears. It's complete. There were a lot of great writers that came at the end of the series like suzvoy. Trying to think of some specific fics. I'll be back if I can think of any.

queerasfray February 17 2013, 03:19:24 UTC

Awesome! Thank you!

For me, the post 513 fic that resonates as the truest to the show and the most in character B/J is xie_xie_xie's Only Time.
(http://xie-xie-xie.insanejournal.com/51270.html)
She just nails the characters, and her writing is flawless.

However, I've always found 5th season to be a bit random. It seems to me that the show's writers had trouble keeping B/J in character!!!

If you feel at all that way, you might want to read Wren's rewrite of season 5, and her WIP season 6 and 7 (She is not the fastest updater, but the fic is worth the wait, unless you are a fan of Mikey and/or the girls, because they are not presented in a very good light.)

The thing that really drives me crazy about episodes 11-13 are way way to rushed. I can see what the writers were trying to do, but turned out weird and upsetting because it's so compressed. I would've love to see what they could've done with more time.

Thanks so much for the recs :)
