Angsty recs

Hi!
I know this is in no way an original request or anything, but I'm addicted to angsty fics and every few months I like to ask around for new or rediscovered fics to break my soul. A little. Or, you know, A LOT.
I can read about everything. Whichever season, happy ending, not ending up together, death!fic, kid!fic... I do have my favourites, however:

- First break up. During or after the Ethan arc. Like Mesa's fic? That's a perfect setting.
- Post 5x13 but not together.
- Brian getting older and freaking out.
- General breaking up.

Only requisite is for the fic to be rip-my heart-out-of-my-chest angsty. And not much OOC, pretty please! They can be WIP, just, not abandoned works, cause they make me so sad!

Thank you, guys!

FOUND!: There are already some links in the comments. But feel free to keep them coming my way! :))))

I second [livejournal.com profile] love4movies' rec of "Valediction" by [livejournal.com profile] q_dicted. It is, without a doubt, the best piece of fanfic I have ever encountered in this or any fandom. Warning, though - you'll be a sniveling, sobbing mess. I'm talking he U-G-L-Y cry where you don't want to be in the same room with another person.

A really close second for me is [livejournal.com profile] galeandrandy's "Tenebrosity" already recc'd above. It will break your heart over and over again with every chapter.

As for something new, [livejournal.com profile] kiera81487 just posted an update to my (not so) secret obsession: "Unexpectations".

Justin and Brian break up. Justin rebounds and has a baby with someone else. (Don't be squicked - all mpreg happenings are offscreen.) Justin realizes his mistake, tries to get Brian back, Brian says "No way!". Brian has hot!sex / kind-of!relationship with OMC. Justin is jealous. Angst and chaos ensue. Love it!

ETA - And my go-to fics when I need my angst tempered with a little HEA:

[livejournal.com profile] blissink's "One Love": http://blissink.livejournal.com/tag/one%20love
and
[livejournal.com profile] bdeviled's "Full Circle": http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=bdeviled&keyword=Full+Circle&filter=all
