It's driving me crazy!

*sigh*  Yes, it's me again!

I'm not crazy, I'm not!!!!  I specifically remember reading a fic about Brian having some sort of accident and when he wakes up he has the mind of a child.  Justin is with Ethan but breaks up with him and moves back in with Brian to help him. 

Because Brian has no memory of his horrible childhood his personality is different.  At one point I remember when Brian's brain advances to a teenager and he's confused about his sexual urges. 

I swear I thought that story, Lasting Promises by Tammy was it, but that one is only 2 chapters, and unfinished -- unless the story is posted somewhere else? 

I also remember that it was complete, not a WIP.

Is there anyone who knows this fic?

ETA:  Thanks to  [profile] foreverfolked.  The story is Maybe This Time Book II by Ashleigh.  I'd been mixing the plot with Tammy's story, which was why I was confused.

oops, I meant to add to that description to see if this matches the one you're thinking of. When Brian's in the hospital, he asks Justin if he (Brian) is gay and if Justin is also gay because he's been noticing the men workers.

They go to Babylon one night and he's appalled that his old self wanted to fuck all the guys especially since he's got Justin. There's a scene in the diner where he's really sweet to people, I think. He has concerns about working because he doesn't have that snarky edge for advertising any more.

I still think your story is Tammy's, though. Wonder if her yahoo group is still in existence?

The yahoo group is up, however, I tried to join & have not been approved. So if someone who DID get to join is able to find her fics, I'd greatly appreciate being able to read her fic. Thanks!

You can find & copy/save her fics on her old website if you use the wayback machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php). It's a search engine for discontinued websites.

put Tammy's website (http://www.never-ending-love.de) in the search box and click. You'll get a bunch of pages. I think if you click the last entry in the 2005 column you'll get everything. If not, click around on some of the other links. Sometimes the wayback Machine is cumbersome, but it's fantastic for finding old fics you've heard about that aren't on teh web anymore.

I don't know if she left the fandom. Are you a member of the bjfic yahoo group? If so, you could ask about her over there. A lot of those folks aren't on LJ.
