hurt/comfort, myrna, post season 2

IF YOU NEEDED ME
by Myrna.

I'm in the mood to re-read this today, so I thought I'd retread it, though I'm sure it's not new to anyone. It's perhaps fandom's best known and best-loved fic and deserving of a place here in the IJ retread archives.

If you have a few spare hours and a box of tissues handy, join me as Justin and Brian go through the angst of dealing with a brain tumour, with lashings of humour and love shining through.

The mother of all hurt/comfort fics, enjoy

If You Needed Me.

Four parts, Four POV's, starting with Ethan, then Michael, Brian and Justin.

This is one of those stories that I can only read so often. Like once every six months or so. It's just...fuck. Myrna doesn't play, man, she digs that well deep before she pitches Justin in.

Perhaps we should call it Oubliette d' Myrna. lol

I think that when I read this the first time, which was when you guys first rec'd it, was what changed the way I felt about Ethan. I really did like his section, and the fact that he and Justin parted but stayed friends. Too bad it wasn't like that for real, but I began to look at him differently. Brian I wanted to hug and murder in turns, as well as Michael.

Brian at the railyards, screaming at God, I cried when I read that.

Then, the end..."tell me..." *flails* One of the best stories in fandom.
