Maxeo and Lizziet by Breathless. No contest

I have read it so many times I could recite it in my sleep:

This link only starts at Chapter 57 -- I haven't re-read this in years, and I'd love to find it!
Help!
Also the second link in the very first response to this thread --
Our Story. I went there in the archives, got halfway through, and the rest of the story is missing! Apparently it wasn't reposted in its entirety, because I remember reading it long ago and this was not the end.
I couldn't list the first one, because it was on Crashdown, and it made me stay away from fanfic for years! It had Liz deciding she just wanted a human boy (and this was before EoTW), and marrying someone else! (I think it was Sean, but that name must have been a lucky coincidence, since this was earlier). Max was heartbroken and attended the wedding in secret (because he's on the run, that's his whole life), and Liz feels him there and lets him see how much she doesn't love him anymore, loves Sean instead. I was so bummed, and didn't read
any more fanfic for years!
But if I were going to be on a desert island, and could only have one, the one that still stands out as a complete masterpiece, stands up against anything else I've ever read, and really shows off the art of
plotting (which the show's team needed a booster shot of), it would be
Aftermath. That story creates its own world, and totally lured me in -- awesome.
People have probably mentioned it already -- I'm working my way through this list, but keep getting decoyed off to read others' recommendations!

I don't think the link could be needed, but I'll try to find it and put it here.
