Hey, ummm...

anyone have recommendations for Queer as Folk fic with no spoilers for anything after the end of season two?

'Cause season three is in the mail, but it could take 5-10 days to get here. I need something to tide me over.

I'm looking for Brian-centric fic, either dark/angsty or funny, not soppily romantic. Pairing irrelevant (but I like Michael better than Justin). Length irrelevant. Rating irrelevant. Good characterization essential.

A rec for a good archive would also help. One that lists what episode the fic is set after, so that I don't get spoiled.

[And I still think the show sucks.]

Thanks in advance, if anyone answers. :)

Even though I've only seen like one whole season, and am not into the fandom in any way, I have to agree with you - I prefer Brian with Michael and not Justin too.

Just wanted to say. ;oD

Awesome. Why do you prefer Michael to Justin?

I think I have a bunch of reasons, mostly sort of visceral instinctive reactions (Justin reminds me of myself at that age--he needs to experience other relationships instead of focusing on his first; the deep friendship between Michael and Brian strikes a deep chord with me because I have major friendship issues; I tend to value friendships more than romantic relationships; etc).

I'm still thinking about it, though. And I've only seen the first two seasons, so my opinion could change.

I think it's because of the very deep ties Michael and Brian have, as you have mentioned. They feel very right together - the fit works, and they so obviously love one another so much. Whether or not it's the kind of romantic love that lasts, I dunno, but they're very bonded by friendship and that touches me a lot.
