Appendix bursts! Searching...searching...FOUND!!

[jokerinthebang.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a fic in which Justin's appendix bursts and he faints in the loft, and Brian comes home to find him and rushes him to the hospital. Can anyone help?

THANK YOU http://am3lee.livejournal.com/ !!
She sent me the stories Making it Through the Summer and Making It Through Another Summer, and the story I'm looking for is Making it Through Another Summer.

So, I was wrong. Justin is found by the french guy, and becomes semi-conscious; he thinks Jean Phillipe is Brian. But this is it! But the part where he passed out was right. I googled it and found both stories here: http://deadfic.livejournal.com/29939.html

They are both really good stories and highly recommended!
The search is over!

Oh, and one more thing: on that page I linked is also the Abernathy Trilogy, which is REALLY good and should definitely be read, as well!

I *just* read this in the past couple of days. I think it was either in the qaf_giftxchnge or scrooged bunch of fics. (If you've never browsed those comms, there are a bunch of good fics there, and they are linked in the Sidebar.) Okay, lemme think about this a minute.

If you search these comms, it's best to do it via the archives as there are only a few entries (one around Christmas and one in the summer) each year that are actually the fics; the other posts are reminders, etc.

qaf_giftxchnge is a closed community. Do you know if it's still possible to be added? I'd really like to read the fics there. (and now of course ... especially this one :-) )

You'll have to ask to be added. It's on IJ, too, with the same name and that comm is open membership, but the 2006 Christmas fics weren't moved over and there are 53 of them.

53 stories I haven't read? *yay*

I requested to be added so now I'll just wait.

Well, you may have read some because the authors probably posted them to bjfic or their own LJs, but there may be some new ones, and any new fic is a good thing! ;)

When I read this the other day, I was thinking I would need a tag for B/J have surgery and now I really do! lol

I see it was found by the commenter below me in the 2008 set of fics for that comm. You can go to IJ to read it here (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/qaf_giftxchnge/22186.html#cutid1), then.

2008 and some, if not all, 2007 fics are there, but none of the 2006 ones.

Mmm the one in that link isn't it. It wasn't Christmas or anything in the fic, and Justin wasn't conscious when Brian found him. Justin was on the bed, and Brian noticed that his stomach was distended.
