Justin leaves Brian for good

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

OK, I have looked all through the tags. I can’t find a story where Justin leaves Brian and lives happily with someone else. He comes back to the Pitts 10 years later to visit. I wonder if anyone knows this story (I have it; I just can’t remember the title or the author and I swear I’m going to back up all my tags in Calibre from now on). And, are there any other stories where Justin leaves Brian for good.

I know it's not the idea situation, but I’m interested.

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Story found along with similar recs, thanks to rinmonsterer and natkinnat.

The story is "In Love Again" by Justinlovesart. The link is in the comments.

2cd UPDATE: I just realized that "In Love Again" is only one of the stories I was searching for. I got so excited forgot about the original one.  The story was a one shot that has the family and Brian upset with Justin for not communicating for 10 years. He was living with his partner in New York, I believe.

Thanks, I've never read those before, but those are not it. I didn't know there was a Justin leaving Brian tag either. I was looking for a Justin/other one.

Anyway, the story and another I'm looking for are not listed. There is another with a line of something of "Justin may not need love but he wants it". The other story was so rare to find since these type of stories are not popular.

Is it Kondo by Inner Justin and Ryosato? The story can be found in one of the GIH folders.

I really love this story so if you haven't read it, give it a try.

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

That's not it, but thanks for the rec. I never read the story because it was abandoned but it looks good.

Both stories am referring to has Justin happy with someone else. He never goes back to Brian.

Could it be by justinlovesart? I don't have a link at hand, but I can look for it.

[rinmonsterer.livejournal.com]

ok, it's "In Love Again", here's the link:

I just recced this fic simultaneously with you. LOL

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

As Sungaizing would eloquently say "OMFG!" That's it!!!

I thought it was lost to me forever. I immediately tagged it so that I could never loose it again.

I am indebted to you.

THANK YOU!

[rinmonsterer.livejournal.com]

Haha, don't say that, you never know when I might collect your 'debt' :P

Glad I could help, although reading this kind of fic is always painful. But it's justinlovesart, so sometimes you have to read it despite yourself.

[natkinnat.livejournal.com]

I was interested in this theme once and read several stories.
I really liked the "In Love Again" by justinlovesart.
And I read several stories of arwenson including "Better Friends and Lovers" and "Finding his own way".
I don't have the links, sorry.
But I kept the docs and I can mail them to you if you are interested.

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

Oooh, you and rinmonster are heaven sent!

I'm not familiar with those stories and I've been thinking about the theme ever since reading "Brian Kinney Knows Sex" the other day. Like I said, those stories are a rarity. I prefer Brian and Justin together, but every now and then I would like a Justin/other story (but not with Ethan or any of the gang, gross).

THANK YOU, for the recs, and if you know any more, don't hesitate to share, LOL.

By the way, I love your userpic. Could that be Justin?

[natkinnat.livejournal.com]

You are very much welcome.
I wonder if you can give me a link to "Brian Kinney Knows Sex" story.
And yes, LOL, that's Justin on my userpic.

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

That's easy, it's the least I can do, LOL. It was just rec'd recently, and, as usual, I mutilated the Title, it's Brian Kinney is Sex.

It's one of my favorites even though the ending is very angsty.

[natkinnat.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
A very good fic, the ending IS angsty,
but I expected that they end up apart, and they are not with an open ending as for what would happen next.

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

"...and they are not with an open ending as for what would happen next."

I know. I was thinking a sequel would have been nice, but maybe the ending says it all. It's unusual to see Brian painted in a slightly negative light. He is still THE Brian Kinney, but Justin is not the little stalker-god-worshipper. He seems to see the flaws instead and is not interested.

It is such a switch to see Brian as the stalker instead. I wish I could find more fics like it.

[natkinnat.livejournal.com]

I think there are plenty of those fics in which Brian actually one way or the other either stalks or takes a very good care of Justin. You should request something like "Brian stalks Justin" in this comm if you are interested.
I've surely read some of those, but I cannot remember any specific titles now.
