Michael has stolen items hidden in his room at Deb's

[nochaser]

Read a fic some time ago where Michael has stolen things from Brian over the years and has them stashed in his old room at Deb's house, perhaps in a crawl space or hidden area of the closet. Even some of Brian's clothes, if I remember correctly. That's literally all I can recall but if you have any ideas, I'd appreciate the help. It's driving me nuts!

*I think there was one scene where Brian discovers what Michael has done and he is devastated. He's in Michael's room either alone or with Justin or Deb. I think... Hope I didn't dream this.

A/N: Found one that was similar thanks to Loahisi_88 (link is in the comments), but still looking for the first one. Help!

FOUND: "Liberty" by BethAlex -- found by Mssgal. Link in comments. (Thank you!)

I was re-reading MissMerlot series "Waking with enemies", and in the third story "The rattle of snake" you learn that Michael stole some of Brian's thing but they were in storage not in his room at Debs. Here is the link for the series http://www.kinnetikdreams.com/Adminftp/eFiction355/viewseries.php?seriesid=39
Even if it's not the story you are looking for it's worth reading. It's very long and so so good.

Believe it or not, that's the one I'm reading now. Not the one I was looking for, but it's good, juicy and long! Thank you for replying.

I think I remember one other scene, and emotional scene where Brian discovers what Michael has done, and is devastated. I hope I can find it.

Thanks again, now I'm off to wrestle with rattlers. LOL

It's called Liberty and it's a WIP on AO3. Don't know author's name

that's what I found when I search for "liberty", is it the one? https://archiveofourown.org/works/7332967/chapters/16656916

That's it. The Michael hiding stuff subplot is partway into the story and a fairly small subplot. The story is fairly anti-Liberty Ave gang.

That's the one. Thank you! As usual, I remember a very small part of the entire story and then I'm lost.
