i have an urge for melodrama

Are there any fics where something happens to the lesbians, and Brian and the Petersons wind up in court fighting for custody of Gus?

ETA: It looks like there might not be fics following this specific criteria, but there are a lot that come close! Check the comments for links. And thanks to everyone who found fics for me! Woo!

One story

This isn't the main focus of the story and it's an AU but there is Shirley's and Meredeth's "A Child's Needs".

Well, I don't recall if there's actually a court battle but there is some arguing between Brian & the Petersons in bigboobedcanuck's Out From Inside (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/272279.html)

galedreamer wrote a long, long fantasy Season 5 called Breaking Away (http://galedreamer.livejournal.com/9047.html), which features a custody battle between Brian and Melanie for parental rights. Very good and melodrama-y.

FYI, Breaking Away is extremely anti-Mel. You might've guessed that already, but just in case *g*. If it doesn't bother you, go for it! :)

Oh damn, there is an amazing one that I am thinking of where Mel/ Linds die in an accident and it all goes to shit. Damn, Im gonna look around for you, not to mention I wouldnt mind reading it again myself. I'll let you know if I find it.

There's one called "Changing Family Dynamics." It's pretty long but quite excellent. It was actually recommended here a few weeks ago ;)

Thanks,
