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.

Hey, Courtney, it's *not* Reason to Believe by Tammy? You ruled that out? Because it sounds just like it and is one of my favorite fics. They think Brian tried to kill himself.

It's here: http://bjfic.net/main/viewstory.php?sid=1648

Oh, that *is* a good one. Maybe that's the one I mean. I don't remember amnesia specifically in that fic, just that he ODs, they think he tried to commit suicide and it turns out to have been some E or something that was stepped on with bad shit. Lemme me go look.

I'm having so much fun in this comm the past couple days! I feel like a beginner reader again for some reason, even though I've read nearly all the recs at some point or other. :)

I'm so glad! I LOVE that story! It inspired me to write Gone!
