hurt!justin in a bad relationship & post-ethan reunion.

[faded62.livejournal.com]

 Couple of fics.

1) Justin doesn't meet Brian first. He's in a relationship - or something - with a pretty dangerous, dominant guy. He meets Brian, the inevitable happens. I remember one part where Justin's in the diner and Brian tells Emmett (I think) not to let him out of his sight. Justin goes to the bathroom and is taken by the guy. I think when Brian finds him he's all beaten up and on a cross.

2) I think it's a post-Ethan AU - but Brian and Justin are split. Justin dates lots of guys but isn't really serious about them. I think this is the same fic. But there's an art competition - and Lindsay advises that Justin shouldn't win - out of loyalty to Brian - or so she says. Brian and Justin end up back together at some dance I think  - where Brian comes up to him and tells him he's ready.

#1 - found.
#2 - found.

No.1 could be the Sunshine series. I'm not too sure, though. You can check here (http://www.angelfire.com/folk/defensivewalls/qafindex.html). It's in the middle of the page.

That's it thanks - feel so stupid for forgetting that one :)

You're welcome. Don't feel stupid. I couldn't remember myself; had to check the rape fic tag. ;)

The first one sounds like Sunshine Series by Crazy Undead Fairy, here's her fic page.

Defensive Walls (http://www.angelfire.com/folk/defensivewalls/qafindex.html)

I'm almost entirely sure the next one is the four part If You Needed Me Series by Myrna, one of the best B/J fics ever, might I add. Her page is,

Echoes of Memories (http://web.archive.org/web/20021015000630/www.toolunaticsnwon.com/html/myrna_s_fiction.html)

hmm - I'm not sure if that's the one I was thinking of - isn't that the one where Justin has a Brain tumour (or something)? i don't think they're the same.
I'll check it out though and see.

In that one Justin enters an art competition but Lindsey didn't want him to win,she was taking out her pound of flesh for Brian. They also go to an event for Emmett, a dance type function and Brian shows up and tells Justin that 'he's ready'.

But, yes, in that one Justin does have a brain tumor.
