The is the second of the qaf_giftxchnge fics.

This request was for:

Fic. Fluff/ schmoop, angst, canon-compliant, hurt/ comfort, humor, sexy fun times Brian/Justin, post-canon (present day would be preferred, but as long as the characters are as canon-compliant as possible, I'm open). Either something holiday-related (including other members of the gang, if desired) or something more H/C geared (preferred if Justin is the one providing the comfort, but either way works).
Nothing AU in terms of canon deviations, crack!Fic, or basically anything that would exist outside of a canon-compliant realm. Nothing where B/J aren't (or at least don't end up) together.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was a really strange one to write because when the first line came to me, I thought it was Justin "speaking". It was something of a shock when I found out it was Deb and from there the whole thing turned out completely differently to what I'd planned. But in the end I kind of liked it. It puts a different spin on the usual H/C fic and gave me an opportunity to play with the whole gang and see what they're up to now that it's 2016. I can only hope you're not disappointed by it.
I was going to leave everyone guessing whose "voice" they were listening to, but my beta didn't like that idea, so I've put the names in.
WARNING: For a change – no warnings. I'm even fairly nice to Michael.

Some years back I wrote a Halloween fic called "If I Were Brian Kinney". In it, while his friends were playing a Halloween game they called "If I Were Brian Kinney ...", a little green goblin took advantage of that to mess with Brian's head a little. Well, a lot really. (If you're interested, that fic is here If I Were Brian Kinney.)

I've always had it in mind to write a sequel where Justin goes looking for revenge, and this year I've finally done it. So here it is. (You don't really have to read the first, as long as you know that Justin wants revenge on both the goblin and their friends for jerking Brian around, you'll get the idea.)




( Payback's a Bitch )

This time the request was for:

Fic. Angst, Hurt-comfort, Brian/Justin. Maybe one of the main characters gets sick and the other one has to comfort him, or was in an accident and the others have to worry about him … something like that … I hope that helps a bit … Other Specifications: nothing special.


It came out a little more angsty than I'd meant, and with the ending a little more schmaltzy. But hey! it's a Christmas fic.

Warnings for language. I've had a few complaints about the language in my fics. I'm not going to apologise for it - it's how I hear Brian and Justin both speak in my head. I refuse to turn them into mealy-mouthed GLC types just to avoid offending those who don't like the language that I believe is part and parcel of who they are (and is, from my perspective, entirely according to canon). You have been warned!






( Where's the F*cking Comfort and Joy When You Need Them? )

This was the second of the fics written for qaf_giftxchnge this year.







( Silenced Nights )

Again - please do check out the other fics, vids, icons, etc, that were this year's offerings. I honestly believe that this endeavour every year is one of the great gifts of this fandom and would like to take two seconds to thank mander3_swish for all her hard work in pulling it together.



Queer As Folk Gift Exchange 2014



.

This is a a very strange story. Well, it's a Halloween story, and one of the characters is, in fact, a ghost.

I think it's only fair to warn you that it is not by any means a normal BJ fic. Brian's in his sixties, Justin's been dead for thirty years and they haven't even met yet.

It's un-beta'd. I didn't want to give my beta a nervous breakdown.

It's the first part of a trilogy. The second part is set a Thanksgiving fic and the third is a Valentine's Day story. (Oh, yes, I hear you say, a Valentine's death!fic. That will work.)

But as it this part of the story was originally conceived as this year's Halloween fic, and Halloween is slipping away, I decided to post it.

The last warning is that the tense is all over the place. This is because, from Brian's perspective, I started just before the "now", so most of his stuff is looking backwards; while from Justin's I kind of picked up in what was his present and worked through to the "now". I confess that this is a little messy, maybe even confusing (and the main reason I didn't get it beta'd - she would have told me to totally restructure the whole thing and I just couldn't - it wouldn't have worked to do it any other way).

I hope I haven't totally put you off.

Try it, you might like it.

It's actually, I suspect, quite ridiculously romantic.


(All general warnings and disclaimers apply. It's for Adults Only and is purely for my amusement, not for profit. The characters, sadly, do not belong to me.)

It just goes to show that this year I seem to have totally lost the plot. This was the gift exchange fic that I wrote last Christmas. I posted it too early and got quite rightly chided by the mod so I took it down. That was all okay, but I totally forgot to repost it after the required delay.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

So ... for those of you who didn't read it at the time, here it is. It's not actually a Christmas fic, but I have to admit that after a month of summer heat, just the thought of a get away in snowy Vermont makes me feel better.

As always, it's for Adults Only so by clicking on any of the links you are signifying that you fall into that category.

Anyway - belatedly, here's the fic again.

Title: Synchronicity

Gift Request: post-513 future!porn/Nc-17 Justin is turning 30 (next year, I guess). Brian and Justin have a “ridiculously romantic” birthday/night/weekend

Rating: NC-17

Summary: Justin is in New York (although not permanently), his birthday is coming up, their friends are nagging (no surprise there). Brian, of course, is doing his best to ignore the whole thing, but circumstances seem to be conspiring to put ideas into his head about how this milestone birthday might be celebrated.

Author’s Note: I know that along the way C/L decided that Justin’s birthday was in February, but in S1 it seemed to be before Christmas, rather than two months after. (There are what look like Christmas decorations and door wreaths in the Kip Thomas arc, and that’s around Justin’s birthday.) So that’s the time of year I’m going with.

Please note, the "giftee" was maybe742 who, as her offering, has done one of the best BJ vids I've seen in a long long time.

The mod from the gift exchange community has quite correctly pointed out that I committed to not posting my submission here for another week.

So ... if you want to read it, you will need to go to:

Synchronicity

I'll put it back here later.






Oh, and while you're browsing the gift exchange stuff (and it's well worth it) please also read the story galeandrandy wrote for me:

Waltzing in a Winter Wonderland


And if you don't have time to browse, at least take time out to watch this. Seriously - one of the best BJ fanvids I've seen in a long time made by maybe742.

Tougher Than the Rest

Hi everyone - Apologies to everyone who commented on the drabble - hope to get to respond to those in the next day or so.

Meanwhile, as promised, my 2012 Halloween fic. This is the 10th year that I've written a BJ Halloween fic - a fact that I find both surprising and a little scary.

To celebrate, however, this fic is a little more about the fun and silly side of Halloween, than about the truly scary - well, except for poor Justin maybe. But payback's a bitch, and I bet he'll have fun plotting and planning his revenge. *g*

So ... here is this year's effort ...





( 'If I Were Brian Kinney, I'd ...' )

Happy Halloween, everybody!


.

This one was written for the Moonshadow Tribe's "Fairy Tale" challenge. It's based loosely (very loosely) on the story of Gawaine and the Green Knight. (Another version of the tale is told about Gareth and Elaine.) Like the best fables, I think it contains more than a grain of truth.

Justin is a sweet and virtuous young knight. Brian is an ogre.

So, here is the last in the Beatles Trilogy.

The first two parts are:

#1: Any Time At All
#2: Tell Me Why




This one is set during the "greatest reunification" scene at Babylon. 'Nuff said.
