Justin in Orphanage/Brian Teenage Mentor

[toto-too514.livejournal.com]

Justin is young, and I think he's living in a boys' group home after losing his family in a car accident? I don't think he knows or believes they are dead and is expecting them to return. Teenaged Brian travels to the group home perhaps to work as a "mentor," as part of a religious retreat. Mikey goes with him.

I remember distinctly a scene where once arriving at the home Brian hears Justin running upstairs making a lot of noise slamming doors, etc. He loves to draw. They meet again as adults. Justin is working at a gallery??? He wears punk style clothes.

Thanks in advance for any help!

EDIT- Believe the Fic is a WIP called "Branches" by discothequey. But the account is purged. Does anyone have a copy?
EDIT 2 - FOUND! Part 1 (Past) link is in comments. (Present) still incomplete.

She got a new LJ under the name discofabuleux. Branches is there. Branches (Past) is complete, but Branches (Present), where they reunite older, was never finished.

I weep if I let myself think about it.

Tegan is probably my all time favorite QAF fan fic writer. She is so talented and her fic was amazing. I was so sad when she left and never completed her WIP's.
