HEE. Well, I am one for random! My friend and I have been gorging ourselves silly on QAF US since we moved to Vancouver, and I have to admit I am the opposite, in that I never got into QAF UK, but I ♥ the US version. I love so much about it I can't explain. But I understand what you mean; if you already adore one version you're probably not going to appreciate the other. It's natural, I think!
But B/M, woah. I assume you have read spoilers etc - these recs contain plenty, as a heads-up, although I don't think not having seen the rest of the show will affect your reading.
Anyway.
Interval (Or, What Five Years Will Do To Brian Kinney) (http://dontyouwaitup.livejournal.com/492.html#cutid1) by dontyouwaitup. It's Brian-focused with plenty of Michael, although there is Justin, too. But it's a really well-written insight into Brian.
Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll (http://kat1919.livejournal.com/5946.html#cutid1) by kat1919. AU with Brian a rockstar and Mikey along for the ride. All of Kat's fics are worth a look though, in my opinion - this one, she manages to write believable, interesting OCs along with the QAF guys.
...and you mean everything (http://theredwepainted.livejournal.com/1996.html#cutid1) by theredwepainted. Lovely vignettes of the B/M relationship. Again, all of her work is great, and I will here also rec If I'm To Be Your Camera (http://theredwepainted.livejournal.com/11033.html#cutid1) and Come All Ye Lost (http://theredwepainted.livejournal.com/19571.html#cutid1). Oh, and Desideratum (http://theredwepainted.livejournal.com/7511.html#cutid1), which features Michael and Justin's evolving relationship (which is based on Brian, naturally). Really lovely.
Almost done (I bet you're relieved!). I am incredibly frustrated because I can't find the one fic I am obsessive about - I have it saved, but I can't find where I read it online and her LJ is protected. I'll let you know if I do, it's amazing.
So last one is The Man Who Sold The World (http://chase820.livejournal.com/97316.html) by chase820. It's in chapters, is awesome and if you find yourself thinking it gets a little weird a few parts in, stick with it - it actually works very well indeed.
Okay, uh, I'm done bothering you now, heh. But, y'know, it's nice to be able to spread fic love! :)
