"Ugly Duckling" Justin?

[charming-nancy.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm looking for stories where Brian was not attracted to Justin when he first met him. Maybe Justin was fat, had braces, pimples, wore ugly clothes, or for some reason due to his appearance just did not spark Brian's interest. Or maybe Justin was such a snot-nosed little brat, Brian didn't want anything to do with him. Of course, Justin should go though some sort of transformation (ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan, if you will) and Brian then wants Justin.

I'm just starting to read "How Sweet It Is" by violette7, where Justin is fat, but Brian only wants him as a friend. From the description, it doesn't seem like Justin slims down, however, so that would not fit my above request.

Update- A few good suggestions in comments, but looking for more!

First thing that came into my mind was How Sweet It Is, too. But beware, it's a (A?)WIP.

Yes, I was later informed by Predec2 that this was an unfinished story. The last chapter was posted almost 2 years ago, so it's an abandoned fic, my least favorite of all fics :(

I want to say that there is a story by Grover - Agoraphobia, I think, where Justin is Agoraphobic and aside from the phobia, also is overweight and thinks he's ugly.
But since I can't find the fic in tags, I may just be mixing up stories.

The fic I'm thinking about has Justin in the same building as Brian and with the weight problem - I think he may have Acne as well.

Do you know if this story is completed? I don't want to start reading it if it's not finished.

I seem to remember one, hopefully someone else will remember it to and perhaps direct me/us to it. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it.

Justin was a bit overweight and shy. had a big crush on Brian. Micheal was a "singer" who couldn't sing and Justin did the singing while Michael just lip synched. Michael was very meant to justin. Over time Justin did a make-over and came back......that's about all I remember.

Could it be "300 Pound Beauty" by Blanca?

I probably shouldn't mention this one because unfortunately it is not available on line anymore but it fits the request and is an interesting story.

I really enjoyed Elsa's story, thanks for suggesting it! I've read a few of hers before and somehow missed that one.
