Summary
(or, four times Brian Littrell carried his boys, and one time they carried him)
Inspired by the fact that Brian's arms are ridiculous and he can pick up everyone...well, that and the fact that he's also good at taking care of everyone. Some of this painful, but I promise some isn't.

Summary
In the summer of 2001 in the middle of the Black and Blue tour, AJ checks himself into rehab. Once he's there, he not only has to face his demons, but the question of whether he and Kevin will still have a relationship when he gets out. For years now it's been the five of them against the world in every way possible, but after the words Kevin left him with from the other side of a locked door, AJ doesn't know what to believe.
It's a hard thing to question your faith in love while you're trying to restore your faith in yourself.

Summary
Sometimes, Nick needs a little pain that he can control. At least, that's how it's always been but lately he's handed that control over to Brian because who could he trust more than the person who's loved him and taken care of him more consistently than anyone ever has in his life? It's great, it's not conventional but it's working for both of them...only it's not just two of them in this relationship, and the rest of the boys have more than a few questions.
Well, Howie and Kevin have questions. AJ just wants to watch.

Summary
"He’s said I love you to this kid a thousand times, a thousand ways. If Nick needs to see it as blood on his skin, he’ll do it. He’ll be whatever Nick needs."
In which Brian finds something out about Nick that hurts him, and he does something about it because that's what he knows. He may not can fix every problem Nick ever has, he absolutely knows he can't, but he can do his best to take on as many as he can.

Summary
It's the first time Kevin's been on stage with his boys in four years, and all he can think from the minute it starts is how much it feels like home, how he hasn't felt this good in so long it's startling just how right it all feels.
It should be comforting to be reminded where he belongs, but when you belong somewhere you feel you've given up your right to be, it's more than a little terrifying.

Summary
It's Nick's 32nd birthday, and he and Brian aren't allowed to celebrate. The rest of the boys will be back by the end of the week so all the celebrating's due to happen then...but that doesn't rule out illegal celebrating, and it definitely doesn't rule out improper use of cheesecake because hey, that's not even a birthday food, it can't possibly count.
(Basically, in which I write cheesecake porn because mamogirl saw the reference to this moment in But I Can Carry You and made me think about it more, lmao)
