Another long conference call, two more drabbles

[wren_kt7oz]

Two drabbles this time, and from maybe unexpected view points.

Mother

For fifteen years I've watched my son mooning over Brian Kinney. I've tried to tell Michael that Brian's never going to suddenly fucking fall in love with him. But then that asshole bats his pretty eyelashes and Michael stops thinking with anything but his dick.

And his heart.

Only now it looks like his heart is going to get stomped on.

Because against all the odds, Brian Asshole Kinney has done what no-one ever thought that he could, let alone would.

He's fallen in love.

With a little blond twink that no-one, including Kinney, ever saw coming.

My poor Michael.







Son

Brian Kinney is my best friend. We've been friends since we were fourteen. I understand him better than anyone. But the one thing I'll never understand is his obsession with that little blond twink.

Brian could have anyone. For sex, anyway; and a good fuck is all he's ever wanted from any of his tricks.

But I've seen the look he gets when his precious Sunshine turns one of those smiles on him. Even if Brian doesn't know it, he wants more from that little twink.

He wants that kid to love him.

But why?

I just don't get it.

I don't think that either will ever understand Brian Kinney. I really enjoyed these.

[wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. No, I don't think either ever will. Both are too locked into pre Justin, pre Gus, pre bashing, pre Kinnetik, pre Cancer Brian.

It's nice to read these.
You have their voices down so well.

[wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I don't "hear" them quite the way I hear Justin and Brian. But some things (like "he's my best friend" and "that asshole") are kind of ingrained into my whole QAF mindset.

Very unusual POV's for sure. Thank you so much for sharing that. I love that you used drabbles here. Drabbles are so much more challenging to write but they are perfect 'tools' to convey such unspoken feelings and point of views of QaF cannon characters.

[wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I agree with you about Drabbles. I actually enjoy the discipline of writing them. I think of them as the haiku of prose writing. And if I'm going through a dry patch with my writing, they often get me unstuck.

Love these two special POV drabbles!

Thank you, C.

I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I've never read a "drabble" before. They seem too much like a tease, but somehow this was quite fulfilling.

Thanks, Deborah.

I actually enjoy reading and writing Drabbles. I think of them as the prose equivalent of a haiku. They need to be complete in and of themselves and to convey a complete little snapshot/ slice of life/ feeling in just 100 words.

What a lovely pair of drabbles. Definitely an unusual POV but so very spot on. Thank you for sharing these little gems with us!

[wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Pia. I like drabbles. I find them both relaxing and challenging to write. A way to switch my mindset. Glad you enjoyed.

Definitely two unexpected POVs. Both had such stringent views of what Brian should be that they never wanted him to change, while yelling at him to grow up. I'm glad Brian and Justin had other, better, friends than these two.

[wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. Exactly. They simultaneously had all these expectations of who they thought he should be, how he should act, and at the same time just could't envisage him actually changing.

Loved these.

"He wants that kid to love him.

But why?

I just don't get it."

Poor Michael, one of the many things he will never understand.

You have such a deep understanding of the characters and your stories always reflect this.








I love how you captured the personalities in just a few words. Poor Michael, one of many things he doesn't get.

"He wants that kid to love him.

But why?

I just don't get it."

Thank you. Yes. Among the many things that Michael never did (and never will) get about Brian, the changes that came into his life, into his being with the advent of Justin (and Gus) are probably the most significant.
