A true friend for Brian

[brians-desires.livejournal.com]

I'm a little tired of how no one seems to ever stand up for Brian or be a real friend when his so called family blame him for all of their problems.

I'm looking for a fic that has Brian standing up for himself or a new character that becomes friends with Brian, a true friend. It can be either man or woman it does not matter. Brian always thinks he doesn't need anyone to stand up for him but he does need someone to be by his side and support him without judgment.

Even Justin frustrates me sometimes. He's always saying he loves Brian but lets everyone verbally abuse him and never does a thing about it.

Thanks in advance for any stories. Hope that someone besides me has thought of this.

We don't mind people discussing the fic that's being searched for. Oftentimes it leads to fics not initially considered that may fit the searcher's request. What we don't want is a discussion to devolve into wank. And that's easy to spot, actually.

I was never privy to the Shoboards, but I heard about them, and I'm glad I missed that bullshit. I can and have argued with the best in this fandom, and I usually come away with a different understanding. In fact, it took almost 3 years for me to come to terms with 513, and I finally get it. And, most of my opinions about 513 were ill-formed by the fic I was reading.

I didn't watch the show until just after the finale of S5. I swallowed S1-S4, and watched S5 on Showtime when they re-aired it in January 2006. At that time, everyone was still in shock over the ending, and LJ was full of people discussing the show.

I've actually asked several times, right here and in discussion comms if people watched the same show as me. Sometimes because I'm floored, and other times, like this time, to see if this was a fic-based opinion or a show-based one. And Michael with David?? Justin with Ethan?? Hell to the no!

No one should be afraid to look for a fic. I restrain myself more than you know over some of the requests. And it's hard. When I see people looking for fics of Brian abusing Justin, knowing what Brian went through with Jack, I want to scream...or throw up. Especially since we see Brain try so hard not to be Jack.
