Christmas fic: Canes and Planes and Christmas Pains

This is the first of the Christmas fics I wrote for qaf_giftxchnge.

The request was for:

Fic. Fluff/ schmoop, angst, AU, hurt/comfort, Brian/ Justin or Brian/ Justin + Gus family times
I love Hurt!Justin with comforting Brian. I love feuding with lesbians about Gus. I love Justin being disappointed, but Brian coming through in the end..
AUTHOR'S NOTE: One of the things I really didn't like about the women (including Deb) in the last couple of seasons is how damned patronizing (or should that be "matronizing"?) they were towards Justin. He's not a child anymore. They seriously need to get over themselves. And I'm sure Justin would have felt the same way.
WARNING: Definitely anti-lesbians, and a little bit anti-Michael. This won't surprise anyone who is familiar with my fics, but here's the warning for everyone else.

I'd like to thank the ever-wonderful (and really incredibly kind) predec2 for the banner. It's lovely and I would never have thought to go looking for the image of Deb in the Santa hat, which was just perfect.

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.
