SEARCHING: Reverse scenario, Brian returns to Pittsburgh after long absense.

[callmeadreamer.livejournal.com]

We've all read the fics where Justin goes away and then comes back after X-amount of years, looking to reconnect with everyone, especially Brian. (Hell, I've even wrote one!)

Now, are there any that are the opposite? The sort of story where Brian was gone and didn't really keep in touch ('cept maybe with Michael or Deb, of course), and then comes home to find everything is different? Maybe Justin's involved seriously, or he's closer to the family than Brian is, or someone's dead, or something. Just Brian coming home, and not necessarily getting a hero's return welcome.

Would love more, if they're out there!
