They only way I can see Gus endng up with Brian is if both Melanie and Linsday die. I could never understand the fics that have Brian actively pusueing custudy because Lindsay and Melanie are such horrible parents. Even more insulting I think are fics where Melanie and Lindsay split up and Melanie never sees Gus again because he's not her real child. I know it's most likelyjust bad writing and a desire to punish Melanie for not thinking Brian was descended from the Gods and therefore perfect. But it reminds me of how many stupid people think a "real" family has to be based on DNA and how much that pisses me off.
