Searching for Ethan-era angsty B/J break-up fics

Happy new year, everyone!

I'm craving some Ethan-era B/J angst. Any recs? (preferably sans Ethan-bashing - B/J stories are much more angsty when it makes sense why Justin leaves Brian for Ethan).

ETA: I got some great recs - thank you, everyone! See the links & recs in the comments. I've done some general poking around in archives & such and have been surprised by how few fics there are involving Ethan-era angst. If anyone thinks of anything, please comment on this post.

can't think of one at the moment...sorry, but just had to comment that i'm currently watching an ethan era episode... the center carnival! (i'm not antisocial, i just don't like people ....Justin's lines at that party are like my fave love his snark)
B & J's hair is sooooo pretty!
PS Happy New Year!!!

Hey you! Happy New Year! :)

Being a mod for a sec, we like our subject lines to be as specific to the request as possible, so if you could just add "Ethan-era" to what you already have that would make a big difference. Thanks!!

There is only one I can think of at the moment, but I wish there were more:

Stepping Out of the Darkness by Wildsweet_angel

I must also say I agree with you and mander3_swish. I just wish I had time to watch those episodes today.

Happy New Years!

Of course I alwys remember something after I post:

Myrna's "If You Needed Me". You can find in in GIH Mediafire Fic Folder.

No problem, hun.

It's on the very page you are already on. Look to your right under the heading of "Recovering Lost Fics". "GIH Mediafire Fic Folder" is the first one listed under the heading.

If you click on it, a treasure of stories pop up to be downloaded. You can find the story listed there.

If you don't mind me pimping my own work, Bird On A Wire is set during the Ethan period, and it's very angsty.

It's here:

Yes, perfect!

I love it, too :) I feel honored to have been adopted by this place.
