Family work hard for Brian's forgiveness and/or trust.

[moonflowerkc.livejournal.com]

Hello. I have read many fics where Brian is the scapegoat by members of the family (especially Michael, Mel, and Deb) even though he's the one who fixes everything. Sometimes they even realize this or got told off and they change which Brian made so happy that he just lets the past go.

What I'm looking for are fics where they need to grovel and work hard to earn forgiveness and trust. For example, maybe Brian cuts them off, got a job out of state, in a coma, or something. I also like when they get told off by someone. Without him there to get blamed for every little thing wrong in their lives, they have to face some cold hard facts. I prefer Brian and Justin to be together but that's not necessary. I just want some groveling!

Thank you for any help.

update: received some suggestions.
