Ethan steals Justin's paintings

[charming-nancy.livejournal.com]

Hey everybody. I read a story within the past year on what I believe was mags-nificent.com where Justin lived in a large house with several other students he went to art school with. He found an agent to show his work and spent a lot of time making several paintings that were eventually stolen from his storage locker at school. Brian was able to track them down shortly before Justin discovered that it was Ethan that stole them. Justin meets Ethan at a McDonalds (I think) and Ethan shoots him. I read the story around the same time I read several others, so that's all I can remember specifically from that story.

Does anyone know of the story I'm talking about? I would like to read it again.

Reunion fic - Brian rushes to Justin's hospital bedside after Jennifer calls

[ntua.livejournal.com]

I have racked my brain and searched through all the tags looking for this fic, but no luck...

From what I remember, Brian & Justin are broken up when Brian receives a frantic call from Jennifer because Justin has been rushed to the hospital and she can't get there because she is out of the country on her honeymoon.

Brian sits by Justin's beside while he is in a coma. The doctor wants to do a spinal tap to determine if Justin has meningitis, but Brian won't let him because they have already given Justin the course of treatment and it won't make a difference except to prove that the doctor was right. The last thing I remember is Brian telling the nurse to remove the ventilator because he senses that Justin is about to wake up and he doesn't want Justin to be afraid having the tube down his throat.

Thanks in advance! ;-)
