Title: Coming Home
Written By: puddle_jumper2
Timeline: Post ep. 121, AU Season 2
Rating: R
Warnings: Angst, h/c
Summary: “That’s not love, that’s hate and I won’t see Justin raised that way; not anymore…”
Author's Notes: This is AU from 121… Justin awoke with amnesia and doesn’t remember more than just the prom. In fact, he doesn’t remember that his father hates him or that his parents were in the process of divorcing. Brian gave up New York and remained at Justin’s side the entire time he was healing and in physical therapy…
This is written for the H/C challenge. Thanks to my wonderful beta, Vince, who isn’t on LJ (I hope that’s okay) but writes for other fandoms and betas for many readers.
