Hi guys, I'm looking for two specific fics that I can't seem to get out of my head.
This is what I remember about the first fic I'm looking for: It was extremely Anti-Lindsay and set post 513. Lindsay returns to Pittsburgh with Gus and tells Brian (and possibly Justin, I'm not sure that they were back together at that point yet) that Mel was abusing Gus and possibly Lindsay as well. I'm not positive, but I think Brian knew the story was bullshit right from the start. It turns out that Lindsay was the one abusing Gus and that she was molesting him as well - I think the reason for the molestation was that Gus reminded her of Brian (who she was obsessed with) and that the physical abuse would happen whenever Gus would do something to remind her that he wasn't Brian. I remember that Brian and Justin took Gus to a doctor and Gus described Lindsay's attempts to blow him as tickling. I also remember the boys had a conversation about whether or not they should put Gus in therapy, and that Justin was against the idea. I think something similar had happened to him when he was around the same age as Gus and he'd been put in therapy, but it had done more harm than good because he would have just forgotten about it if it had been left alone. Does anyone know this? It is definitely NOT 'The Great Divide' by Nightvision55, I know because I read that awesome story recently.
This is what I remember about the second fic I'm looking for: I remember that Michael was the one who set up the robbery at the loft in order to make Brian get upset with Justin, but that Justin was there for some reason when the robbers showed up and they raped him. I don't think Michael intended the rape to happen but I don't think he cared that it did. The fic was very Anti-Michael (which I sometimes like and sometimes hate, depending on my mood) and I'm pretty sure that Brian found out that the whole thing was Michael's fault and ended their friendship over it. I'm not sure, but Michael may have either gotten arrested or put in a mental hospital. I'm pretty sure Debbie was on Brian's and Justin's side even though Michael was her son. I may be mixing fics here (I'm not really sure). If I am, could ya'll please link me to all of the fics I ended up mixing? I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you all for your help! *HUGS*
UPDATE: Link for first fic in comments, link for second fic also in comments though it may be only partial - like I said I may have mixed a couple of fics up in my head.
