queer as folk fic rec list (#2)

Let’s gooooooooo 🤩

As with the previous list, all fics are Britin/Brian x Justin. 

Turn of the Wheel by Predec2

Rated E, 80K, historical au

Summary: Brian Kinney is a man of affluent means, wealthy beyond compare, and not wanting for any material thing. But he is emotionally empty. Will an unexpected visitor cause him to change? 

Set in the late 1800s. Justin is homeless and crash lands in Brian’s life when Brian’s carriage nearly runs him over, so Brian is obliged to let Justin stay while he recovers. Snobbish, wealthy Brian slowly thaws to Sunshine’s charms. There’s also a sister (Molly) who’s rescued from the miserable life she was sent to on the orphan train, and an absolutely bitch of a housekeeper who gets exactly what she deserves. This is SO. GOOD, guys, seriously. If you’re at all into historical au’s, check it out.

Who’s Your Daddy? by Azile (WitnessMarks)

Rated E, 5K, sort of canon compliant?

Summary: Justin just wanted to try a night out at a different club. He didn't expect it to make him question his whole relationship with Brian.

Justin drags Brian to the local leather club one night, and Brian’s forced to say he’s Justin’s Daddy to get some asshole to leave his precious Sunshine alone. A slight identity/relationship crisis ensues for Justin when he starts to realize all the ways Brian does, actually, play a fatherly role in his life. This skews funny, not angsty, and it’s delightful. 

Brian’s Cocktails by Techgirl

Rated E, 3.4K (9 ficlets), canon compliant

Listen. This is crack. It’s also hysterical. It’s so dumb and I say that with the most affection possible. It’s short little ficlets told from the POV of Brian’s cock. If you’re looking for a laugh, for something silly, check this out.

Growing Up by LaVieEnRose

Rated T, 1.7K, canon compliant

Summary: Justin gets sick, Brian handles it like an adult, and everyone else is surprised. Set sometime in S4.

What it says on the tin. Short and sweet.

Drunken Love by Techgirl

Rated E, 3.8K (6 ficlets), more or less canon compliant

Summary:  Short, drunken glimpses into the world of Brian and Justin.

Once again, what it says on the tin; in each ficlet, one or both of them are drunk.

Another list will be coming! Probably whenever @munsonboy​ starts harassing me for it 😘 

If you read anything I rec and have feelings about it, I’d love to hear about it!

💖🧡💛💚💙💜

Loved Her First Chapter 1 The Stones

A/N @omgbarbiegurl came up with this brilliant idea. As she didn't wish to tackle it alone, I offered to write it with her. We are doing alternate chapters. This one is hers. 💙💙💙

AO3

Claire cuddled Faith closer to her as Jamie galloped down the road. 

She was so confused as to where they were going, Lallybroch was back the other way, she thought. 

Her confusion turned to fear when the sight of Craigh na Dun. He got off the horse, and helped her down. 

She shook her head and tried to run from him, but he held her arm firmly. 

“Ye must go Sassenach, this world is done, the battle already lost. Ye ken it.” 

“No!” 

At her shout, Faith starts to cry, Jamie takes her into his arms. “Shhh caileag bheag bhòidheach.” 

Claire didn’t brush away the tears that were falling. 

“At the witch trial at Cranesmuir; if I’d gone to the stake with Geillis, would you have left me?” 

Jamie rocked Faith side to side, she was starting to quiet now. 

“I would have gone to the stake with you, and to hell and beyond, if it had come to that.” He gave her his sweet half smile. “But I wasn’t carrying your child.” 

Claire felt her face fall. “You can’t tell that. It’s much too soon.” 

He moved closer to her, putting Faith into her limp arms. She tightened her grip on the baby, still in shock. 

“Sassenach, ye haven’t been a day late in your courses in all the time since ye first took me to yer bed. It’s been two months now.” 

“We are in the middle of a bloody fucking war, and you kept track?!” 

He pressed a kiss to her lips, and then to Faith’s head. 

“She, and this bairn is all that will be left of me...ever. I beg ye, Claire…”

“No, please Jamie, no.” 

She looks down at Faith’s red head. Her sweet little girl, born so early. She was so sure she would die, but between Mother Hildergard and Master Raymond, she lived. A precious gift to both of her parents. 

And now she was expected to take this precious thing that she shared with Jamie, and play happy family with Frank. 

“And how shall I explain all this...when I get back?” She sways Faith a little. 

“To Frank? That I leave to you. Tell him what you will about me. About us. It’s likely he’ll no want to hear. But if he does; tell him I’m grateful, tell him I trust him, and tell him I hate him to the marrow of his bones!” 

“Jamie, come with us!” 

“I canna come Sassenach, ye know this. My destiny is on the moor.” 

He pressed his lips to hers and then to Faith’s head. 

“Blood of my Blood.” 

Claire fought back her tears. “Bone of my Bone.” 

He reaches into his Sporran and pulls out a ring. “Give this to Bairn, when he is old enough.” 

“I’ll name him Brian, for your Father.” 

He gave her a small smile and tapped Faith’s cheek, making her giggle. 

“Young Miss, this is for ye.” 

He pulls out a gold locket with a diamond. Inside is a miniature of a Baby Jamie.

“Yer Grandmother Ellen painted this. It is a family legacy Faith Elizabeth, carry it well.” 

He places it around her neck and kisses her cheek. 

There is a distant echo of Cannon Fire. Jamie looks out over the hills, knowingly. 

“It has started, it is time for you two to go.” 

Claire sobbed as she pushed her backwards, Faith was starting to cry now, confused. 

“I love you, Jamie.”

“And I you.” 

And then they were gone. 

Claire woke up at the foot of the stones, clutching a crying Faith. Her 18th century garments were bedraggled and filthy, but they were both alive and whole. 

She hoped the 3rd member of their party was as well. 

She set Faith down for a moment to get to her feet, but baby completely fell to pieces, clutching her mother’s skirt, screaming at the top of her lungs, which made it impossible for Claire to get to her feet. 

“Faith! You have to calm down my love. Everything is fine!” 

For an almost 3-year-old, the baby had a grip like an adult. 

“Faith Elizabeth Fraser! You let go of me right now.” 

The firmness in her Mother’s voice made her start, and she really started to howl. 

“Jesus H Roosevelt Christ!” Tears started to fall from her eyes as she joined Faith in sobbing.

“Ma’am? Are ye alright?” 

She started at a male’s voice, half expecting it to be Jamie, but it was a just a man in a derby hat. 

She wrenched Faith off of her skirt, and marched over to the man. 

“What...year is this?” 

“The year?” 

“Tell me the fucking year!” 

“Why it’s... nineteen hundred and forty-eight.” 

Claire sobbed as she collapsed into the man’s arms. 

The man calls an ambulance, and Claire and Faith are taken to the hospital. 

They are both declared healthy, if not a little dehydrated and malnourished. 

Claire is given a sedative as she gets hysterical when they ask her where she has been, and even more so when they try to take Faith from her. 

In the end, they give her a sedative and put the baby in a cot in the same room. 

And of course, they called Frank. 

Because clearly, a woman couldn’t take a piss without needing a man around. 

No, no, she needed to change her attitude. Jamie was gone, Scotland had lost Culloden; he was dust in his grave now. 

She only had herself, Faith, and the new baby.

She stroked her belly gently and sighed softly as the matronly nurse swung into the room. 

“Breakfast for ye Mrs. Randall! Your husband is on the way.” 

“Fabulous.” 

Faith stirred in her cot and sat up, her red hair was fluffy and curled like a halo, she looked so much like Jamie, she wanted to cry. 

But instead, she smiled at the nurse. 

“Can you hand her to me so I can share my breakfast with her?” 

“Of course.” 

The nurse set Faith on the bed with her. Claire fed her bits of food, until Frank arrived. 

He stared at her for a moment, and then at Faith who was looking at him with wide blue eyes. 

“I-”

“Frank, I know you have just arrived, But I have a favor to ask of you.  It’s a long story, and I’ll try to

relate it all exactly as it happened. Please let me tell it at my own pace and keep any questions until the end.” 

He nodded and Claire took a deep breath. 

“You’ll remember that I had gone back to Craigh na Dun that day looking for a flower I’d seen near the standing stones…” 

She recounted everything. Slowly, painfully, and cathartically. 

She held Faith tighter during the story of her birth, and sobbed into her hair when she talked about the last day with Jamie. The baby fell asleep as she got to Culloden. 

“And then the man brought me here, I was hysterical until they gave me a sedative.” 

Frank said nothing for a long moment, and then he cleared his throat. “And did this Jamie believe you, when you told him you were from the future.” 

“Yes.” 

“Then I can as well.” 

“There is something else that may cause you to rethink that.” 

“What?” 

“I’m pregnant.” 

She can see the brief look of incandescent joy on his face, and then complete and utter heartbreak.  

“If this is not going to work for you, or you can’t reconcile yourself with it, tell me now so I can make other arrangements.” 

“What arrangements?” 

“Housing and money. I still have my inheritance from my parents and Uncle Lamb.” 

Frank puffed out a breath. 

“I was offered a position at Harvard, I wasn’t going to take it. However, with these circumstances, I feel we should. I can accept this Claire, Faith and this new child.”

“Just like that? We just... pick up where we left off?

“No, we can start over in Boston. Leave everything behind.” 

Claire looked down at Faith and nodded. “I suppose we could try. But I am sure you have conditions.” 

He nods. “One, We shall raise the children as our own. Ours. Yours and mine.” 

“In a lie.” She said softly. 

“Raised with a father. A living, breathing, man -- not an echo of a memory they can never catch.”

She nodded. “And the second?” 

“I cannot share you with another man while I draw breath on this earth. No research. No searching through the libraries of the world hoping to find some reference to him or the lives you once led. You must let Jamie go.” 

She hesitated only for a moment, before she nodded. 

“I can agree to that.” 

He smiled and kissed her hand lightly. 

“Reverend Wakefield has been kind enough to invite us to the Manses for you and…Faith to recover. After you two are steadier, we shall go to Boston.” 

Claire gave him a faint smile. 

“To Boston.”

Why I ship Noctifa

*Under construction post 🦋

The ship between Noctis & Tifa exists not only because of their matching aesthetics. Thatʼs just one superficial reason. Both characters share a lot of deep & profound similarities.

Lets start from the beggining:

Their Backstory

Both lost their mothers. Their widowed dads, Regis & Brian, had to take care of them. However, they could not completely take care of their kidsʼ education on their own, so they needed help of others (governesses in Noctisʼ case & Nibelheimʼs women in Tifaʼs case).

Normally in FF games the characters either have no parents or their situation with them is of an ill-fated nature. Noctis & Tifa contrast & differ from this, being practically the only characters with a good & loving relationship with their dads.

Scenes from Brotherhood & Last Order.

At the same age of eight, Noctis & Tifa suffered near death experiences. Noctis was attacked by a Marilith while Tifa fell from the Mt. Nibel bridge. As a consequence, both fell into a coma.

(I wish there were concrete images of this Tifa event)

At a very young age, both were trained in the art of combat by Gladio & Zangan. Because of this early training, both are considered excellent fighters.

Both have pets that appear in both their childhood & adulthood (Carbuncle & Fluffy).

Noctis & Tifa knew the lack of friends & loneliness during their childhood.

Likewise, at some point both were seen as just a title or a trophy by others, something they deeply disliked.

At the same age of 15, the two were independent teenagers. They lived alone in their own apartments & had a job in the hostelry industry. Noctis as a waiter in a sushi restaurant and Tifa managing the Seventh Heaven. 

They both had to quickly grow up & earn a living on their own.

Both of them have painful scars. Noctis on his back from the Marilithʼs attack & Tifa on her chest from Sephirothʼs attack.

It is noteworthy that Noctisʼ scar affects him on a physical level while Tifaʼs affects her in a more psychological way. I love these little differences between them.

Both suffered the same losses & in the same way.

In a single night Insomnia & Nibelheim were destroyed and consumed by fire.

Regis & Brian were murdered in cold blood by people they had trusted, Drautos & Sephiroth.

Here I reemphasize how Noctis & Tifa felt the same way about their dadsʼ actions. Noctifaʼs psychology is gorgeous & intertwines beautifully. But weʼll leave that section for another thread.

The two travel with their group of friends to stop the forces of evil. Noctis fights against Niflheim & Ardyn. Tifa against Shinra & Sephiroth.

The most important events of Noctisʼ upbringing mirror those of Tifaʼs. I believe they would understand each other deeply due to these shared bonds & that they could easily heal each otherʼs traumas 💙❤️
