Title: Comeback
Timeline: AU
Author’s Notes: Written for the Friends and Lovers Challenge at qaf_challenges. This fic was something really different for me, and I had a blast writing it! MASSIVE amounts of thanks to xie_xie_xie for her amazing beta skills on this fic! I could not have done it without you! ♥

( Comeback )

Title: Thankful
Prompt: Thanksgiving Day
Notes: I know I'm being glib about Thanksgiving, but it's a very Australian trait, so plze forgive! Tweaked very slightly from the original posted at qaf_drabbles for the 37 Days of Gusmas drabble challenge. There's lots of good stuff going on over there. Check it out!

*

“Happy Thanksgiving!”

“Hey, Sunshine. You too. Or was that yesterday for you?”

“It would have been, but Australians know nothing about Thanksgiving, and care even less. Besides, it’s too damn hot here for turkey.”

“Poor Justin. Suffering for your art.”

I snort. “Shut up. I know I shouldn’t complain; the weather's great and I’ve sold three pieces already. I just wish I was there.”

“No worries, mate!” Brian says in a god-awful Australian accent. “I’ll stuff your turkey when you get back.”

I laugh. “Maybe I’ll stuff yours too.”

He lowers his voice. “Well, there’s something to be thankful for.”

Just cross-posting some fic type things. These were all originally posted at qaf_prompts, so you may have seen them already, in which case just ignore kthx.

( Fic for the prompt Artist!Justin )

( Fic for the 10 Word Prompts )

( Drabble for the prompt Moving )

( Fic for the prompt Debbie )

I posted a drabble for the red prompt at qaf_prompts the other day in a bid to inspire some fic (please go write some!!!) and then I wrote another drabble.

I guess I had forgotten how much I enjoyed drabbling. As you know, I haven't written any fic in a long time. A "friend" of mine trashed my writing and it made me lose confidence and well, it's not like I ever thought it was great in the first place anyway, so I stopped. But you know what, I LIKE drabbling, so fuck her, and maybe I can ease back in.

This drabble is for me, but maybe you'll enjoy it too.

Justin loves his life. He loves New York. He loves working on his art - all night if he wants. He loves going to clubs and dancing, and fucking - if he wants. He loves being the mysterious guy from Pittsburgh with the ridiculously hot boyfriend who comes to fuck the shit out of him every couple months. He loves visiting home, seeing his Mom and Debbie, Daphne, having Cosmos with Emmett, fucking on Brian’s desk and flustering Ted. He loves working on Rage with Michael. And one day, he knows he’ll have Brian every day again. He loves that too.

( And I guess I better post my red drabble. )

Heh. I just wrote this and was about to post when the challenge closed. But Brian won anyway, so yay.

*

He’s wearing his tightest jeans. And that shirt you told him he looks hot in. Once.

“The ubiquitous Justin Taylor.”

He hasn’t been to Babylon in months.

“I love this song! You like this song?”

Could he be more painfully obvious?

“It fills the void.”

”I haven’t danced in forever.”

Yes. Yes he could.

“Knock yourself out.”

“No rush.” The patented Justin Taylor slow blink. “I’ve got all night.”

It’s like he’s 17 and stalking you again. Pathetic.

But you still feel your dick twitch.

Cursing yourself, and the birth of Justin Taylor, you beat a hasty retreat.

For now.

Title: Push/Pull
Timeline: 117 gapfiller
Author's Notes: Written for the latest challenge at BJ Action. It was supposed to be porny, but we all know I don't do porn very well. However, 117 is such a great Brian episode, and the prompt spoke to me and demanded to be written! It also demanded I use second person POV for the first time ever. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I don't say that about my own fics too often. Or ever, LOL. Many thanks to xie_xie_xie for the beta!

Title: Worth It
Timeline: Post-507 AU. The bombing at Babylon never happened.
Rating: G
Author's Notes: Written for the Challenge in Two Parts at qaf_challenges. A HUGE thank you to my beta xie_xie_xie! I've been trying to write a reunion fic where Brian goes after Justin without the bombing as the impetus for a LONG time, and Xie helped me find a way to do that that I felt was IC for Brian. The gorgeous graphic by testdog65 inspired me to finally finish this fic.

Why oh why can't I write anything except stupid crack?

Title: The Accident
Timeline: Post-513
Author's Notes: For my darling xie_xie_xie who is sick at the moment. She wanted H/C but this came out instead. Thanks for proofing it between bouts of lung-hacking, Xie!

( Get Well Soon! )

xie_xie_xie hosted an impromptu dirty!feet!Justin!challenge for meta and fic, and donated $150 to the Pittsburgh AIDS Taskforce in the process.

This is my contribution. No need to comment if you already did so. I just wanted it posted here as well.

Originally posted here. Unchanged, but for a couple extra words. Thank you Xie!

( After Deb and Vic and the others left the party, Brian started drinking... )

It is my beloved xie_xie_xie's birthday today! Happy Birthday, darling!

I hope you have a wonderful day today, and I wish only good things for you in the year ahead. I wanted to do something special for you, but instead I wrote fic. ;)

I hope you enjoy this bit of silliness, and I wish you a great day!

( Happy Birthday Xie! )

Title: Counting Calories
Timeline: Post-308
Warnings: Stupid, stupid crack.
Author's Notes: Based on a plot bunny by ohfreckle at qaf_bunnies. Justin refuses to give Brian any more blowjobs, because he's afraid his ass will get fat from the additional calories. I hope you like it, my dear!
Equal parts thanks and apologies to my beta xie_xie_xie.

I have been working on a fic for a long time. This isn't it.

Title: Already Married
Timeline: Post-513
Author's Notes: This was written for xie_xie_xie and inspired by THIS post in qaf_music. I wrote THIS fic earlier, in response to her request, but I wanted to challenge myself to write a believable fic where B/J dance in front of others. I hope it worked. Thank you to Xie for a thorough and excellent beta!

Title: 'Neath the Pale Moonlight
Timeline: Late season 3
Author's Notes: This was written for xie_xie_xie and inspired by THIS post in qaf_music.
Thanks for your beta skills, Xie. I hope it's what you were after!

(  'Neath the Pale Moonlight )

Drabble. Post 513. That is all.

* * *

You used to get turned on by tall, muscled bodies, by overpowering men as big as yourself, bigger even.

Then it was blue eyes, bright smiles, running your fingers through blond silk.

Now, now it's the smell of turpentine, it's flecks of blue and grey under fingernails.

It's the sighs he makes when you massage his shoulders, his hand, working out the ache after long hours of painting.

It's coming inside his ass, letting it drip back down over your balls, your cock, still inside him. Always still inside him.

It's his laugh at the squelching sounds.

It's your lover.

Title: Marriage
Timeline: Post-513

* * *

Brian always said he'd never do love. Never do marriage. His parents saw to that. His father with his fists, his mother with her words.

It was all bullshit anyway, a farce. Something for straights and dykes. Something to pass the time but never something real. You're the only one that's real. You're the only one you've got. It was his mantra for years.

And yet, Brian loves Justin fiercely. And he knows Justin will be the only one he'll ever love. And he'll love him forever. This is real, he thinks.

They're kind of married after all, he thinks.
