I am going to crazy to find a story I read months ago. It was an AU. Here's what I remember from it: Justin runs away from the Pitts [something bad happened to him] and ends up in Maine or Canada? I don't really remember the location. Anyways, Brian finds him, they fix up a farmhouse? to live in. Anyways, the last time that distinctly stands out in my memory is that Justin [with Brian in tow] finally returns to Pittsburgh when Gus is older maybe 8 or 10 on Gus's request and there's thoughts of how subconsciously Gus & Brian try to keep Justin out of harm by separating the hording family.

Gosh, my description doesn't do the story justice, it was really good and if anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'd really appreciate it. I think I read it on bjfic.net, but I'm not really sure.

Thank you jillapet & carpathian86 for the info & links!

The story was Shadows in the Mirror and its sequel Sunshine, Rainbows & Lollipops
