1. Tear falls down Justin's cheek while pouring coffee, 2. Custody issues

[emac66.livejournal.com]

so the first fic I'm looking for has Justin working his shift at the diner and is serving coffee to the gang.  something was said I believe and I think it's Michael who sees a tear falling down justin's cheek.

Second fic is where Justin and brian have at least emp custody of Gus, I think there's a restraining order against Mel.....can't remember why.  Lindsey tries to get Justin to allow Mel to see Gus, and just shows up at the loft.

Any thoughts?  many thanks for any assistance. 

first fic found by armondyouidiot  (heheh love that name!! hehe) called Ceremony  http://mclachlan.livejournal.com/72775.html

second one is as I had thought.....thank you 7wildwaysup and kmboatright for the confirmation.  Homecoming by wren  http://wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com/

the second one: are you thinking of Homecoming by wren? it is here: http://wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com/ (but read Reverb before you start Homecoming; Reverb is her rewrite of significant parts of season 5 and makes it SO MUCH BETTER). Excellent writer.

I believe the second one is Homecomings by Wren.... http://wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com/

Happy Reading ~ Kathleen

Could the first one be "Ceremony" by RC McLachlan? It has this part I just love, "Justin," Brian begins, but Justin gently extricates his wrist from Brian's grasp and continues to smile and weep. His right hand whispers a silent apology and releases the coffee pot."

I love that fic so damn much it's illegal! It was part of the "Coldest Month" challenge. I don't think the site is still available. Dammit. But I think that fic is available in the Fic folders on the sidebar.
