Brian post-pashing and B&J getting back together

[hanging-fire.livejournal.com]

You guys were so awesome at reccing fics for my request that I am back again looking for more angsty!Brian.

I'm looking for any fics in which Brian suffers from lingering trauma after the bashing.  Nightmares, and panic attacks and that kind of thing would be especially great, but even just little things, like avoiding parking garages, or being bothered by blood or baseball bats.  I've been through the bashing/post-bashing and the ptsd tags, but most everything I've found relates more to Justin.  I recently read Name Your Wish by Just Visting, which has Brian sort of breaking down in front of Justin and Mikey and Deb and it got me in the mood for more.

My second request is for fics in which Brian is reluctant to take Justin back after they break up.  Preferably nothing in which he's really mean and makes Justin suffer for it...just where he's understandably wary about getting back together with Justin after he's been left so many times by him.

I will take as much angst as I can get, but happy endings are definitely preferred.

As far as Brian having ptsd, did you read beyond the yellow brick road by plumsuede?

For the second, we do have a "brian shuts j out post-ethan" tag you could check. Though, those may be more instances of Brian emotionally shutting Justin out once they're back together, rather than being reluctant to get back together, if that makes sense.

The third part of vamphile's Keeping series, Safe Keeping, deals directly with a bashing, and Brian and Justin both deal with PTSD. Brian especially deals with panic attacks. Can't link from my phone, but the fic is linked on Vamp's main journal page in her fic masterlist.
