Gus drabble

[wren_kt7oz]

This is a little snippet that has come out of my current struggles with Reverberations. (I'm working on the "leaving for Canada" stuff, and it's giving me much grief - both literally and figuratively - I want to weep for Brian every time I think about it.)

Anyway, here's a little snippet that could even be regarded as a sneak preview of an upcoming Homecoming chapter.




Gus Drabble

"Daddy!”

“Hey, Sonnyboy!”

Gus is taller than Brian expects. His arms reach further around his father’s neck than they used to do, and squeeze even more tightly, feeling like they will never let him go. Just the way Gus’ tiny hand felt clasping his finger on that very first night, taking Brian’s heart in an unbreakable grip.

Holding his son who is so ecstatic to see him, while Justin (the other one who owns his heart) radiates his Sunshine smile at both of them, Brian can almost believe that the feeling’s mutual.

He is deeply and profoundly grateful for that.

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with Reverberations. And grief. No, no. Here's hoping that passes quickly.

Lovely, as always dear wren

The leaving for Canada part of QAF not only didn't make sense but it was just heart breaking to think about. I can understand why you are struggling. Even though it seems your Brian and Justin are going to stay in the same place, having Gus leave is most likely harder on Brian because it also means that he loses Lindsay too.

Good Gravy I hate season 5 so bad Wren. I know I should be over it and one day I will but for some reason the injustice that is done to Brian in season 5 is sometimes hard to bare.

OY.

I hope your struggle with the writing demons isn't to long I am looking forward to to the next chapter of your story. BTW I think in the last month I have read The Experiment at least 7 times. I just love that story so much.

ps. About the drabble- fantastic, warm and sweet. Kinda like my grandma's cinnamon buns :)

I always loved seeing Brian with Gus. IMO the reason they went to Canada was Mel's vindictive need to take Gus away from Brian but as not only you have pointed out when Gus inevitably grew into a mini Brian only more outspoken because he wasn't brought up by the grievous bodily and psychic harm family (sorry but I do feel strongly about his childhood mine was a bit similar) Gus will be much more outspoken and difficult for Mel to deal with.

Anyway your stories make me feel so much better, in fact super.
