Why this must be read:

Hi, my name is Talitha and I'll be driving the van for Queer as Folk USA in August. A couple of words about what you can expect from my recommendations: I pretty much only read Brian/Justin in this fandom, so if you're looking for something else, please check back next month. Also, I am a huge sucker for epic romance dripping with angst, the longer the better. If you're looking for pure escapist B/J fun, I got your poison. On that note:

Queer Theories is one of the first stories I read upon entering the QaF fandom, and I still return to it regularly because it really cannot be beat for sweeping, wide-canvas B/J romance. This is fanfiction soap opera crack, and it never ends! The saga is over a hundred and twenty chapters long and still going strong in the sequel Queer Realities. I can't really do justice to the plot twists and turns in this review, but in brief: the story begins sometime in the early Season 2 timeline (before the Ethan/Ian travesty) and goes merrily AU soon after. Basically, Brian runs off to Hollywood, becomes a star, and Justin deals with the fall-out. And their love is timeless and true, forever and ever, amen. :)

I admit that I had a little trouble with the multiple POVs and non-linear narrative to begin with, but once I was sucked into the Queer Theories universe, I was addicted. This is fun stuff!
