Long In-Character--General Request

[dhrachth]

I'm looking for long stories where Justin, Brian, et al are as close to canon character-wise as possible

The Long Way by ragingpixie and bigboobedcanuck (post-513)
From a Safe Distance by bigboobedcanuck (written post-S4)
Divergence by ragingpixie (scroll down to see all seven parts, written post-s4, mind the angst!)
Into My Arms by rhiannonhero (post-S4 AU, character death under than Brian or Justin)
Omelet by rhiannonhero (not sure when it's set, but definitely before the series ended; angst)
Forever Changes Everything by rhiannonhero (written post-S4)
Everything by visitingagain, which can be found here (A Matter of Time is my favorite)
Treading by jaded_optimism (post-513, link goes to part 19/19)
Gold and Silver Shines by severina2001 (post-513)
Subject to Change by soundczech (AU in which Brian goes to New York after 121 and they meet up later)

Hope that gets you started. :-)

Oh, forgot to say -- The Long Way has a non-B/J death too.

You might have already read their fics but, I like Myrna's If You Needed Me, Lady_Jane's fics and Bigboobedcanuck's fics.

OMG, I second If You Needed Me in every way possible. THE BEST H/C FIC IN THE WORLD. The first time I read it I couldn't stop, stayed up 'til 5am.

The first time I read it I couldn't stop, stayed up 'til 5am.

My teddies fight like that all the time. I have to keep them apart. Last time there was a fight one lost an eye!!!

Most people think that because they're cute and fluffy they must be harmless, but they're really all rotten to the core.

...not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but how about Kattali's "Leopard and lace?"

http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=714&warning=NC-17

and its sequel, "Nautical Misunderstandings:"

http://qaf-fic.com/atp/viewstory.php?sid=726

It's within canon I think, and I don't remember it being uncharacteristically sappy.

"Leopard and Lace" is pretty good and I'd never heard of it before. Thanks.

plumsuede ALL THE WAY. God, one of the best writers ever (and I mean that not just talking about fanfiction, but fiction in general, published even). She has one amaaaazing story called 'Everything At Once': http://community.livejournal.com/bjfic/24954.html, post season 4 (awesome, but it's AU in the sense that it follows everything up to s4 and nothing of s5). If you want OUTSTANDING characterization, writing, plot, everything, read it, and read her.
She also has what I consider to be the best post 513 story in the world, Framed/Beyond the Yellow Brick Road: http://community.livejournal.com/bjfic/132191.html. Framed is complete, but the sequel, BYBR, is still a WIP (it's novel length, though, the 42 current chapters should keep you reading for a while).
I can't rec her enough - she's absolutely amazing. AMAZING.

I read Framed awhile back, but somehow managed to miss the sequel.
