I'm looking for an anti-Mel fic and I checked the tags but couldn't find it. What I remember is Lindsay left Mel and for revenge(?), Mel sues for custody of Gus. The thing is, she really knows nothing about Gus since she works all the time and it's Lindsay who did all the parenting. I remember a social worker made a surprise visit to Mel's house and Mel made excuses not to let her in. However, she peeked through the window and it was a mess. When Mel got the chance to spend a day with Gus, all she did was work and left him to play by himself. I believe Lindsay knew that would happen and even made a comment about spending an entire day with Gus would drive Mel nuts since she's not really parental; they knew Gus won't be in any real danger though. I think she even picked up a woman while ignoring Gus. Brian had hired a private investigator which is how they know all of that, and they used the evidence to fight her in court.

The may or may not be a sub-plot within a larger fic. Thanks for any help.

1) I read a fic some time ago where Brian and Justin were in court and I think they were suing the girls for custody or something and Joan testifies against Brian and makes references to Justin, I believe. Sorry that's about all I can remember from the fic.


2) Are there any fics where Brian and Mel have been friends since college and gives birth to Gus, Lindsay's the one who doesn't care for Brian or Justin. And who only cares about how much money she can get out of Brian even though he still has his rights to Gus.



EDIT: First request found. Nothing for number 2 I got one rec so far but it might be a WIP though. Any more recs for #2 (if found) would be great! Links in comments.

Hey! So I desperately need fix-it fic for s5 because the breakup just feels so incredibly out of character to me that it hurts. I've re-read all the common ones that come up in the tags (i.e. Wren's) but I really want one that doesn't just gloss over the bombing.

I want to see what it would have been like if Brian and Justin had been together during the bombing. Would Brian have stayed and gone to Babylon? Maybe one of them gets injured instead of Mikey? They both become incredible clingy afterwards? Justin's basing related ptsd is triggered?

Anything that helps me make sense of s5 would be wonderful, thanks so much!

EDIT: Some suggestions in comments!

Hi. Looking for a fic I read a long time ago.
I don't remember much. Just that Joan was called as a witness in court. I think she was there to speak in Mel's favour, rambling about Brian acting against god's whishes by beeing gay.
Mayby a custody fight about Gus?
I might be mixing up two fics.

I looked all over the custody tag but couldn't find it.

Sorry about my english. Not my first language.

EDIT: Found. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cowboystracker.

Hey, I'm looking for some long fics where Brian reclaims custody of Gus or fics where Mel never filed the papers or there was something wrong with the papers.
The longer and angstier (is that even a word?) the better! Any and all recs appreciated though seeing as I've read most of the fics rec'ed in the tags.
Thank you!

Changing Family Dynamics
by Kaite made me think of another custody story that I read. I remember part of the court scene had Brian saying that he would share custody or allow visitation and would never want Melanie & Lindsay to not be part of Gus's life because that wouldn't be in Gus's best interest. But either Melanie or Lindsay when asked the same question don't reciprocate. Does this sound familiar?



Found! The scene is part of a fantasy Season 5 by [livejournal.com profile] galedreamer.

Looking for a fic where it comes to light that the papers where Brian signs over his legal rights to Gus was never filed - and therefore not legally binding. I *think* that this comes out after the girls (Melanie) holds the papers over his head several times and threatens to revoke his visitation with Gus.

I'm looking for fics which contain/center around court.

It can be the Chris Hobbs trial, a custody hearing for Gus, etc.

I would just like Brian and/or Justin to be one of the witnesses.

Thanks. =]

Found some, would like more.

I remember I used to follow a couple of Livejournals that were written as if the belonged to Brian and Justin, I remember they were in raising Brian's nephew (Peter?). Does any of you know if they are still being updated?
Thanks :)

I've gone through the parental right fics but what I am looking for is a nice long fic that tries to stay in cannon in regards to parental rights. I have read the dead lesbians universe and enjoyed it!

Can anyone think of anything?

A link found but I totally want more more more!

Ok, looking for a story where Brian and Justin decided to fight for custody of Gus. Brian's attorney does some digging and finds out Mel and Lindz never filed the papers where Brian signed his rights away to Gus so Mel could adopt him. That's the main plot point that is standing out for me.
Any help finding this would be wonderful.
Thanks
Shauna

Found in comments, story listed in first comment. But another Brian n Justin/Linds n Mel custody fight story listed also.
Thanks for the help

I am about to be deprived of my internet connection for 2 weeks and I need something to keep me going.
So what I need is some good (preferably long) recommendations that I can save and read off line, the only things I ask are that they are B/J, it's completed, and it has a happy ending (it can hurt along the way but they must end up together).
Please help :)

ETA An Amazing amount of links in the comments. Thanks so much guys :)

I've never liked how Brian's friends treat him (as in he's always the one to blame for things etc). Can you recommend some stories that deal with him being affected by this? I'd prefer it if Justin was on his side of course :P

Thanks!!!

Edit: There are recommendations in the comments. Thank you to everyone who replied!

The fic I'm looking for used to be on MW but I can't remember it's name. Gus is staying with Brian and Justin and an unknown enemy calls social services. A social worker confronts them who's really homophobic Carl sorts everything out but then another one comes out and has a look around the loft. Brian and Justin had just set up a little bedroom with a racing car bed that Gus LOVES.  There may have also been issues with Justin's dad to.

Thank you.

ETA- Thanks to [profile] edom56who new it was Nothing Ventured by Bailey and there are also links to other good fics in the comments.
