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 :-)

Does it end with Brian offering to move to Boston if Justin takes a job there?

Ooh, sounds familiar - it's very possible. I'd love to see the link? Many thanks

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!

I'm pretty sure this is it. It's by Jule1122 and it doesn't seem to have a title that I can see. Let me know if it's the one you are looking for. Here's the link:

That's the one I was thinking of! I thought I had it bookmarked, but didn't. I was hunting for it again when you found it. Thanks!

Yes! Thank you, this was it. I had read it on 'Moonshadow Tribe', under Jule's stories. I must go read a few more of them now :-)

No, that wasn't it, but I am delighted to see this link as I haven't read this story before! I must look up more of this author's stories :-)
