Take two: ignore first response:

Honeybun, if it's the one I'm thinking of - it's a very long series, and you will need to be able to bear a world of Justin without Brian, until the end.

In this fic, Brian is sent to NY to head up a new branch of the agency and meets someone else, but he chooses Justin who joins him and they set up a life together until…. Justin finds Brian kissing the guy in the kitchen closet, and they break up.

It was one of the very first fics I read a very long time ago and my tastes may be a little different now, but at the time, I enjoyed the experience of reading it. I love Brian&Justin, but I love Brian first and foremost so I was able to cope. Although I shed bucketloads for Justin (and you'll find out why), Brian was really happy in his new relationship and it was solid and long-lasting. You're right that they end up together, but I wouldn't call it a typical "happily ever after".

Most B&J fans either won’t go anywhere near this fic, or loathe it if they do, because it does treat Justin rather shabbily. I struggled a bit with that aspect of it - of Justin losing Brian, and having a difficult life whilst he was without him.

So, you've been warned, it's called "The Other Foot Stories" by Simon who archives his fics at the Moonshadow Tribe.

PS: .......and if it’s not the one you’re after, many apologies, just ignore. I haven't thought about this story for a long time, but it was the “kissing in the kitchen closet” that made me think it was the one you're after. If you do read it, let me know what you think. ♥

You're very welcome, I'm glad it's the one you wanted. I won't expect to hear from you for a while - it's pretty long.

PS: "Tinkerbell" and "Jermmima" (although spelt differently in "Peter Rabbit") is a wonderful combination. You must be very sweet and lovely. ♥

Actually, if you want more of Justin and Brian and less of the "other man", you might want to check out Margaret's version of the same story here: http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/MagF/Path.htm Apparently, with Simon's permission, she took his story and went in a more Justin/Brian direction with it. I loved Simon's other fics, but since I'm a big fan of Brian/Justin, I just I liked her version of this particular fic MUCH better.
