Post 5-13 fic dealing with Brian's issues

[fta0621.livejournal.com]

Hi all!

I mean, Justin doesn't leave just for his future. To him, Brian is unhappy trying to make him happy and is getting further away. There're lots of fics that focus on Justin's career in NYC, how he comes back as a successful artist or how he starts a new life..

But is there any fic that deals with Brian's issues at the same time? I mean, attitude towards life, inner changes or something..?  just wondering..

Thanks very much!!!



Edit: links in comments, THANK YOU ALL!!!

I've been thinking about such fics and it brought me up to a question:

Well, my rec isn't a post-S5, but Randall's "Deconstructing Brian" deals with all those issues. This fic is canon up to the ending of S2, and after that it's completely AU. But if you want to see Brian dealing with his issues, you may like it. Also, even though Justin isn't in NYC, Brian is. lol I don't know, it isn't what you're looking for, but it might work for you. ;-)

I'm not sure if this is quote what you're looking for, but I have a story that is a take on how Brian deals with Justin leaving. It explores Brian's personality and deals the uncertainties he feels over his self-sacrifice: The Temptation of Snakes (http://sapphire-3.livejournal.com/17193.html#cutid1)

Indigo556 has a wonderful story called "Why Not With Me" that deals with many of Brian's issues.
