I wasn't upset with the ending as something for the boys to go through (heck, it never even bothered me when they broke up because I knew they'd get back together!), but I'm upset with thinking of it as "the end" - because it's not! They're still in love, they still want to be together, and they're still looking for ways to make it work. So, bring on the options! *g*

Oh yes, exactly! The ending only upset me in so much as it didn't feel complete. It felt unfinished and confusing.
There is a ton of post 513 fic (and meta) out there, some have them reuniting after a long absence, some after a shorter time. But there is no doubt that they are in love, still want to be together (Brian kept the rings!) and are not gonna just let go of each other after finally getting to a place where they agree that they love each other and want to make it work.
And I have to say, without wanting to cause any wank, that even though the final shots were of Brian and Michael, Michael's shiny wedding ring was centre stage and he went back and stood next to Ben, his husband. The B/J'ers didn't have to hotly contest anything.

I think that kind of depends on what your pairing is, doesn't it? I'm a fan of the show, although I never really got into the fic. Still, I know the finale was pretty hotly contested between Brian/Michael and Brian/Justin fans, who each have their own spin on it.
Ah, the age-old Brian/Michael vs. Brian/Justin wars. For once I'm not spinning anything, I'm going with exactly what was onscreen; Brian and Justin are very much in love but not willing to sacrifice their ambitions to settle with each other, and Brian and Michael are totally BFF.
So I'm looking for fics where Brian and Justin find a way to be together and allow Justin to once again pursue his seemingly neverending opportunities (he writes comic books! he makes movies! he's a serious artist! he also makes julienne fries!), while Brian and Michael remain family, as they always have been and are meant to be.
Ahhhh, I see. Then I would be relatively unhelpful, as I am mainly a Brian/Michael shipper (slasher?) and have not read any B/J fic. Still, I'm curious as to whether it can be done realistically--they seemed doomed to want different things.
Then I guess we're even - I can't figure out how Michael could divorce his husband and mess with Hunter's adoption and find a happy ever after with Brian. Michael wants... everything that Ben gives him. ::shrug::
Brian and Justin may want different things, but they're also willing to sacrifice for each other. Though they may need a woman to get involved and explain the concept of compromise. ;)
