Brian battles blizzard and delivers Christmas baby

[mysid.livejournal.com]

I read this one a long time ago. On Christmas Eve, Brian is trying to return home from a business meeting, but the roads are becoming snowier and snowier. Brian rescues a couple whose car has become stuck; the woman is very pregnant. They try to take shelter at hotel/motel which is packed to the gills with other stranded motorists. Most of the recent arrivals are camping out in the lobby/ballroom. Someone recognizes Brian and loudly objects to his presence as he (A) is gay, and (b) fucked a teenager. The crowd turns ugly, and Brian is forced to leave. The expectant couple leave with him, as does someone from the hotel who objects to Brian being forced to leave. (I think it was a repentant Chris Hobbs.)

They get a little bit farther down the road and take shelter in a barn, I think. The woman goes into labor, and Brian helps deliver the baby. Later, they hear that the roof collapsed at the hotel/motel, killing or injuring many.

Does anyone know what fic this is and where to find it?

Found: It's The Stable: A Christmas Story by Arwensong. Thanks to wjsc99 for finding it.

Justin death fic

I don't normally like death fics, other than Reaper Boy and Counting Blue Cars. But I was reading the wonderfully poignant I'll Wait for You when I remembered another story that I read ages ago and would like to find again.

It had Justin driving back to the Pitts, I think, and he avoided an accident somehow ... but then everything in Brian's life went wrong and the only way Justin could mend things was to go back and let the crash happen ...

I've checked the major character death fics but couldn't find it - there are so many! - and I'm sure one of you knows what I'm talking about. Help, anyone?
