Three searches: Cancer!Fics and Angsty Pro-Brian Fics

[deviant-queen.livejournal.com]

Specific Search: I'm looking for any fics where Brian tells Justin he has testicular cancer instead of kicking him out and letting him find out on his own. Nothing too OOC where Brian collapses in tears and asks Justin to hold him because he's scared he'll die (I mean...get real people), but something that may have actually happened. I've read a couple about Justin going to Ibiza, so none of those please.

Really Specific Search: This one kind of fits into the first category, but I'm looking for a particular fic this time. In this one, Brian goes to Johns Hopkins for surgery, Justin finds out, and eventually goes out to Baltimore to be with Brian at the hospital while he recovers. If I'm not mistaken, they find more cancer than they thought they would, but I could be wrong. I remember Brian was having a hard time emotionally with the whole losing a ball thing and Justin being there. There was one part where he tried to go to the bathroom on his own and ended up falling on his ass while trying to get a look at his wound. And apparently there was a male nurse that made a few cameos during the story.

General Search: I'm sick of re-reading fics I've read a million times, but none of the active WIPs going on right now interest me. I'm looking for stories that have lots of good angst, but not those "Brian is a horrible horrible person" fics. Like how many times can the "Justin moves back to Pittsburgh, he and Brian are monogamous, Brian cheats on Justin, and then has to fight to get him back" fic seriously be written? I want B/J to end up together, but maybe Justin does something wrong this time? And has to fight to get Brian back? Anything even remotely like this would be nice! As in character as possible. :)

Surfed a bit through the "cancer fic: brian" tag and found a couple for #1... Ibiza (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=buckeye5&keyword=Ibiza&filter=all) by buckeye5 (which I almost thought was #2, but it doesn't quite have all the elements), and a oneshot by devalmom, Watch Over Me (http://delvalmom.livejournal.com/28786.html#cutid1).

I didn't go all the way through the tag, so I'm sure there are more!

Since I'm a little obsessed with the cancer arc, I just wrote another one-shot in the eppy 408 timeframe which diverts from canon, but its for an upcoming challenge so it won't be posted until next month.

I guess that's not real helpful in your search for something to read now. :(

Bridge Over Troubled Waters by indigo556 is the cancer fic where Brian falls on his ass after refusing help from his male nurse -- Javier.

For the second request, I'm reading Susan K. James and NJPax's Broken Image. Unbelievably angsty and good and very Pro-Brian so far. You have to find it under GIH Rapidshared Fic Folder.
