Searching for 'Retreating Justin fic'

[eawen-penallion.livejournal.com]

I have memories of a story where Justin 'retreats' from contact with the Liberty Avenue gang, easing his way out of their lives and of Brian's. The cause is some kind of self esteem problem, where he feels that everyone's life wouldn't be affected by his absence.

I am sure that it isn't Rizabeau's 'Signed' fic  (Justin is still inPittsburgh, I think),  it may be a stand alone story.

Any help is much appreciated!

ETA:

It is 'Concede' by Jule, the link is in the comments. It can also be found with Jule's other stories on the 'Moonshadow Tribe' site, at http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/Jule.htm

Many thanks to everyone :-)

It would be Rizabeau's New Year story, with the sequel Spring Fever. Justin removes himself from the gang, has a self-esteem issue concerning Brian, Craig & mirrors.

The story may be found on Rizabeau's and Hephastion Lo's Yahoo Group. I *think* it may be archived elsewhere, but I'm not sure.

No, I just recently re-read New Year and that wasn't it. The story I'm looking for is a much more insiduous one . Thanks for looking though!

Sorry, not to bother you or anything, but could you link to it? I really want to read it!

'New Year' is at 'Across the Pond', along with some other fabulous stories by Rizabeau. The story itself is here :
