Thanks. I'm really glad you like them. And that you enjoy the glimpses of Brian. I think that Gus does open the door to seeing Brian through a different prism. I felt that from the very first episode. I strongly suspect that, as much as his sex god persona, it was the glimpse of Brian with his son, the gentleness and tenderness in his hands and eyes as he held Gus for the first time, that bonded Justin to him so quickly. It mesmerised me, and I never believed the "Brian is a total asshole" line for a moment after seeing it.

If you're interested, the rest of my Christmas fics are here:

Hope that you start settling into your new place soon.
