Justin adopted by the Kinneys

[shopinchickcas.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a fic that I read a while back (evidently before I bookmarked everything I read) where Justin was adopted by the Kinneys when he was just a little kid. Then at some point Brian leaves and doesn't come back until years later when Justin is like 18 or something.

The story takes place mostly when Brian comes home and at first Justin is all mad at Brian because he thinks he just left him there to be beaten by Jack, but then it turns out that Jack told Brian that if he left he wouldn't hit Justin--so Brian was really just trying to protect him. Really that's all I can remember about the story (besides the fact that they end up hooking up obviously... and prob end up together) and I read it so LONG ago that I honestly don't even remember if I liked it or what site it's on or anything. But I was reading Secret Love the other day where Justin was adopted by Deb and it made me think of this story.

Anyone have any clues? Thanks :)

I think this is the one you are looking for. It's "Left Behind" by Jasper. It was on the old Midnight Whispers. Here's the link I have:

Hope this is what you were looking for. Enjoy!

Awesome! I hate it when I remember a fic with a really good bunny and I search and search for it only to find it and realize that it sucks, ya know.... makes me happy to read it again when you say that it's a good read :)

Sounds interesting :) Is it finished? I'd love to read but I tend to avoid ongoing stories...

Yeah, it's complete. The author note at the end hinted at a possible sequel...but it's a pretty old story and I don't think the sequel was written. It works well on it's own though so I say "give it a try!".
