Okay, something different this morning. I am in the mood for angst. Heavy angst. Make me cry, baby, I like it.

Specifically: Brian turning his back on Justin completely, for whatever insane reason, or Brian picking Mikey over Justin, again for whatever insane reason.

I have really only one restriction, per usual. That the fics end happily or at least don't rip my heart out when they do. The ripping out of the heart is fine during the body of the fic, but IMO everyone needs a few band aids at the end. :)

Thanks in advance.

ETA: thanks to all who replied. Links in comments.

Hey, peeps, a little request that I hope isn't too vague, like my last one.

I first read this story on Midnight Whispers, but can't find it since.
It was angsty, as in it, Justin was raped. One part I remember is that Brian and Justin are lying on the bed, with Brian applying a cream to Justin's wounds.

 And I'm pretty sure that later on in the fic, to get away from bad memories, they move to a big house in the country area, and they may even meet the older couple who owned the house. I'm pretty sure that the hous needed redecorating majorly, so B and J spend a lot of time griping over the work. And I think there is also a scene, again near the end, where Brian sits with Justin on the front porch with the cat that he and Brian got with the house, with Justin looking at the view and drawing.

It does have a happy ending, as you can probably tell!

Thanks in advance for any help.

ETA: Found it! Thanks to the lovely bendabrenda for the answer. It's called Shadows in a Mirror, and it has a sequel that you can get to by clicking on the author.
