Desperately seeking story

[ashlaegl.livejournal.com]

My PC crashed a week ago and I lost the story I was reading and for the life of me can't remember who wrote it or the full title. The only things I remember of the story:

Justin went to NY to pursue his art studies. I think he was gone 4 or 6 mths. He kept talking about having red eyes and even painted himself with red eyes and had a successful art showing. Brian came to visit him in NY to celebrate and he wanted to propose to Brian but Michael called him to say that his comic shop burned down. Ben was also sick with a bad cough but didn't want to tell Michael about his problem. I can't remember who the author is but I think the title has something to do with "end justifies the means" or something, though I may be wrong about that too. It's got 18 or so chapters.

I would be so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Edit: Was shown the way. Thank you shadownyc
