What Happens Next [Feb. 21st, 2018|08:11 pm]

not_yet_defined
Umm. I'm just going to assume the old rules about how to post drabbles no longer apply. Plus, I just wrote my first self-serving fanfic in like 10 years. And I still got it when it comes to drabbling. Both are 100 words exactly! And no one is here anymore to read it anyway. I've been depressed a bit lately. The state of the world, at least in the US, is fucking depressing. And I've been reading a lot fanfic again. So this was bound to happen..


What Happens Next - Part 1

When the Sandy Hook school shooting happens Gus is 12, JR is 8. Melanie and Lindsay kiss their kids and hug them a little tighter. They don't say it out loud, but over the years they've often been glad they moved to Canada. This is one of those times.

In 2015 when marriage in the US is finally legal, they think about moving back. They love life in Canada. Gus is 15, moving at that age is tough. But they also love their Pittsburg family, and miss them dearly. They decide to wait a bit and see what happens next.


What Happens Next - Part 2

What happens next changes everything and nothing.

49 people die in a gay nightclub. Trump becomes President. And 17 high schoolers and their teachers are murdered by one kid with a gun.

Gus is a senior in high school. JR will be there next year. Melanie and Lindsay kiss their kids and hug them a little too tight. And they thank god every day that they live somewhere where they can send their kids to the movies, or the mall, or even just to school and be reasonably assured they will come back home at the end of the day.

Dec. 9: The hand you were dealt [Jan. 1st, 2013|09:13 pm]

I've never written a death!fic, mostly because of the pain it would cause me. I decided, however, that I could handle death!fic in a drabble; hence, The Hand You Were Dealt. As it turned out, my muse wouldn't go as far as all-out, no-holds-barred death!fic, but death is definitely implied, so I've put it behind a cut. It's your decision.

Hello. I am Rebel, the dog of [info]xie_xie_xie (not her real name). I've been in heaven. Have you missed me?

I am very sorry this is a few minutes late, but we don't really have time in heaven, so sometimes I lose track of earth time.

This is my new Christmas story about Rage the kitten, who is now a cat. I hope you like it very much. Thank you to [info]xie_xie_xie who, despite using a false name, is a very good typist.

Title: Advanced Planning
Author: [info]jule1122
Prompt: Picture Prompt-Champagne

“Yes, yes, I will marry you.”

Justin was still reeling from those words, from the look on Brian’s face when he said them. He covered his face with his hands, took a deep breath, when he opened his eyes, Brian was holding a champagne flute out to him.

“You brought champagne? Really?” Justin laughed because only Brian. “I guess you were pretty sure of my answer.”

Brian set the glasses down and cupped Justin’s face in his hands. “There was no room for failure, not with this.”

Justin saw the truth in Brian’s eyes, “Okay,” he breathed into a kiss.

Prompt: It's only time

Justin stared out their bedroom window, the city was quiet beneath them, covered in a blanket of white.

“Hey,” Brian came up behind him. “Your mother sent me to find you. It’s time for dinner.”

Justin leaned against him. “Okay.”

Brian turned him around, studied his face. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Justin shook his head. “Everything’s perfect. We’re here together,” he looked at their rings. “Our families are here for our fucking anniversary dinner, and you’re not even freaking out. It’s perfect.”

Brian pressed their foreheads together. “It’s not perfect. It’s just us.”

Justin relaxed, kissing Brian softly. Dinner could wait.

“Love sucks.”

“Justin?” Daphne looked at the display on her phone. “Are you drunk?”

“Of course I’m drunk! You’d be drunk too if you were me.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m horney!” Justin shouted. “Brian was supposed to be here, but his flight was cancelled, and I’ve had a butt plug in for hours. I just want him to fuck me.”

Daphne couldn’t stop laughing. “It’s late, Justin. You should go to bed or call Brian.”

“He can’t fuck me through the phone. His dick’s not that big,” Justin’s speech slurred into a snore.

“Goodnight,” Daphne giggled again before hanging up.

“Ma, are you okay?” Michael looked at the red blotches covering her arms and neck. “Are those bruises?”

“I think they’re hickies.” Ted’s eyes widened when realized what he said. “A lot of hickies.”

“They’re not hickies!” Debbie shouted. Everyone in the diner turned to stare at her. “Mind you own fucking business.”

When most people resumed eating, she leaned down and whispered, “Carl thought it would be romantic to cover the bed with rose petals. It wasn’t until after,” she wiggled her eyebrows making Michael groan. “That we realized when we crushed them the color rubbed off on us.”

Brian opened the loft door to find Justin mid-rant. “Fancy meeting you here,” he said with a lift of his brow.

“Fuck you! If you think you’re going to play some kind of control freak games and leave me a fucking message telling me what to do, you’re wrong.”

Brian silenced him with a kiss “Since you decided not to stay in New York and avoid the blizzard, you should come in and warm up.”

Justin stomped in, slammed the door, and began pulling off layers of clothes before. “I still hate you,” he muttered as he kissed him back.

Taking a cautious bite, Ted set the spoon down. “Not bad. What is it?”

“African peanut and sweet potato stew. I’m not sure I have the spices down.”

“That’s a little adventurous for you,” Ted commented.

“I’m catering a Kwanzaa banquet at the community center. The director suggested a few recipes, and I’ve been going to the new Ethiopian restaurant on West Capital for ideas.”

“What a minute,” Ted eyed Emmett suspiciously. “Isn’t that the place Ben took us to where you said the chef was hot?”

“It’s legitimate research!” Emmett pouted.

Prompt: Christmas Day

Christmas in Pittsburgh was always crazy. Debbie and Michael both went crazy buying gifts for the kids. They barely had time to open them all before rushing off to an awkward brunch with Lindsay’s parents.

Then it was back to Debbie’s where the house was packed with people, noise, and a new stack of presents to open from Brian and Justin. By dinner, the kids were overstimulated, cranky and impossible to please.

Some day, Melanie and Lindsay promised themselves, they’d stay home for Christmas. They’d have a quiet day, just the four of them, before leaving for Pittsburgh. Some day

Prompt: Christmas Eve

The first Christmas after the divorce, Jennifer worked a half day on Christmas Eve then realized she had nothing to do. Christmas Eve was always spent with Craig’s family. Molly was already with her father, and wouldn’t be home until late. Justin was God only knows where.

Determined not to feel sorry for herself, Jennifer went to an early movie then picked up Chinese food on the way home. She ended the evening with a few glasses of wine and the first Christmas special she found on TV.

Surprised to realize she’d enjoyed herself, Jennifer made it her new tradition.

Prompt: Bigger, brighter, better

When a prominent studio sent a proposal for a Rage movie, Michael and Justin were skeptical. They met in New York, around the corner from a gallery displaying two of Justin’s paintings.

“No offense, but we’ve been down this road before,” Justin told them.

“Kellar was an amateur looking to make a name for himself. We just want to make a great movie.” The president explained before detailing the terms, the true amount of control they would have, the reality of what they would and wouldn’t show on screen.

Hopeful, but cautious, they left with a promise to consider it.

Author: [info]jule1122
Prompt: "I wanna feel you from the inside"

Brian woke from a fitful sleep, Justin warm and pliant against him. He reached for him instinctively, pressing a kiss into his hair. Justin made a quiet sound in his sleep, pushing closer to Brian.

Slipping down under the blankets, he spanned Justin’s ass with his hands, holding him open. Brian pressed his mouth to Justin’s hole, breathing deeply before he started licking, sucking.

Brian felt the moment Justin woke, held him still and stopped his protest with a whispered “Don’t.” When Justin relaxed, he pushed his tongue inside, knowing this was healing him in a way radiation never could.

“It smells like snow!” Justin inhaled and smiled.
“What does snow smell like?” Brian asked.
“It smells-invigorating!” Justin practically bounced with joy.
Brian put a hand on his shoulder.“Calm down. I plan on keeping you indoors.”
Justin pouted.“Why?”
“You have to ask why?” Brian asked,shocked.
  " I want to go skating,snowboarding-”
“You can’t  be serious!” Brian yelled, stopping  when he saw Justin double over in  laughter. “Very funny,” he said, grabbing Justin and kissing him.
“You should’ve seen your face,” Justin laughed.
“Laugh it up now, Sunshine. You’ll pay  later.”
Justin smiled.
He couldn’t wait until later!

“Just be home before dark,” Michael didn’t look up from the issue of Rage he was editing.

“Dude, I’m twenty not twelve, and it’s already dark.”

“What?” Michael set the comic down.

“It’s the middle of winter and that solstice thing isn’t till next week.” Hunter opened the door so Michael could see how dark it was. “It’s dark before I get out of class.”

“Well, be home before midnight, and make sure you actually study this time.”

Hunter saluted on his way out.

“What were you thinking?”

“It seemed like a good idea at the time,” Ted defended himself.

“Prada shopping sprees are a good idea. Flip-top lube bottles are a good idea. A Kinnetik softball team is a recipe for disaster.”

“We almost won,” Ted made it sound like a question.

“You were mercied in the third inning! Against the team from the diner,” Brian pinched the bridge of his nose. “You sprained your ankle, Cynthia has a black eye, and Todd from the art department broke his nose.”

“So you won’t be at our next game? We got you a shirt.”

Title: Morning
Author: tawny
Prompt: Christmas Day
Note: Two drabbles, posted by Xie for tawny, who is not on IJ

Justin turned towards Brian as he awoke and couldn’t believe they had survived the past year. When he left Pittsburg for New York he thought he’d lose Brian, yet here they were together. They were more than together; they were committed to each other. Justin had spent six months in New York before he decided he needed to be in Pittsburgh with Brian and the rest of his family.

“What are you looking at?” Brian asked as his eyes opened.

“I’m looking at my Christmas present,” Justin said as he lifted the covers from Brian’s body. “Merry Christmas to me!”


Title: Together
Author: tawny
Prompt: Life Isn’t Fair
Note: Posted by Xie for tawny, who is not on IJ

Justin clutched his right hand and tried not to cry. Brian looked at him and shook his head, guilt from long ago hitting him.

“I wish I could do something to help.”

“Brian, you help by being here.”

“Yeah right,” Brian went to him and took his hand. “Let me massage it for you.”

“Okay. It’s just not fair. Why do I still have to go through this? It’s been over ten years since that fucking night!” Justin took a deep breath.

“I know. Life isn’t fair Sunshine. But at least we’re still together.” Brian smiled as he kissed Justin.

“Come on, Brian, harder,” Justin demanded as he pushed his hips up to meet Brian’s thrust.

“Yeah, right there,” he moaned before squeaking.

Squeaking?

Brian turned around, and God dammit. “Mother Taylor.”

“Oh, God,” Jennifer had her hands over her eyes. “I heard Justin was home...I knocked. . .the door.”

“You didn’t shut the fucking door?” Justin hissed.

“I was too busy sucking you off,” Brian shot back. “I don’t recall you stopping to remind me.”

Brian turned his attention back to Jennifer. “We’ll meet you at the diner in an hour. I’m sure you can find your way out.”

Author: [info]jule1122
Prompt: Picture Prompt-Red

Brian could barely see through a haze of red. He pushed his way into the building everyone else was fleeing, struggling to get his bearings. He choked on smoke, the air heavy with it.

Brian tried to ignore the flashing lights, the blaring of emergency signals. The longer he looked, the less he could see. Fear and anger overwhelmed him, and he could hear himself shouting, desperate. Where was he?

When he finally saw him, everything stopped. Brian took a breath but didn’t taste smoke. His eyes were clear, his heart no longer pounding with fear, his arms open.

Justin.

The first time Justin tried to take a bus to Pittsburgh, Brian emailed him a plane ticket. The second time he bought a bus ticket, Brian showed up at his apartment then dragged him to a hotel for the weekend.

He didn’t tell Brian the third time, only calling him from the station. Brian bitched the whole way back to the loft then tried to buy him a car.

“You’re ridiculous,” Justin laughed.

“Buses stink and are filled with serial killers and drunks,” Brian shuddered.

Justin rolled his eyes, but, hearing the worry Brian tried to hide, stuck with planes.

JR nodded while she drank half her glass of milk trying to swallow.

Debbie took the doughnuts off the table and threw them away. They were tough and greasy and most of the jam had escaped into the oil.

“Thanks for trying, kids.” Debbie gave each of them a few chocolate coins to make up for the doughnuts. “Now your Uncle Vic would have made sufganiyot fit for a king. He was a pastry chef, you know.”

“Did he make cookies?” JR asked.

“The best,” Debbie began. “I’ll tell you about them.”

The fireplace in Ted’s room is already lit when he walks in with Blake, and he wonders if it looks like a set-up. Ted sits on the edge of the couch, staring nervously into the flames.

He meant his wish, but if Ted were going to wish for someone, it would be Blake. His face burns from that admission as much as it does from the heat.

“Ted,” Blake’s hand is gentle on Ted’s arm. “Nothing will happen unless you want it to.”

“And if I do?” Ted forces the words out.

“Then maybe we finally have our timing right.”

Prompt: History repeats itself

Brian smiles at their reflection. “We should practice our first dance,” he teases, pulling Justin into his arms.

They circle the dressing room a few times, laughing and kissing. Brian dips Justin low, closing his eyes against the brightness of Justin’s smile.

When he opens them, Justin is on the floor, blood spreading beneath him. Brian scrambles back, crashes into the mirror and screams.

He screams until he wakes up, throat raw, heart pounding.

Hands shaking, he books the first flight to New York. He waits to call Justin until he’s in cab leaving the airport, his voice finally steady.

Author: [info]jule1122
Prompt: You love me so much

“But she loves me.”

Even through the video connection, Brian hears the conviction and desperation in Gus’s voice.

“You’re only sixteen,” Lindsay begins.

Gus is in love with a waitress at the diner where he buses tables. She’s only twenty, not that much older, but already divorced, raising a three-year-old and an infant with no support. Exactly what Brian doesn’t want for his son.

Brian knows they’re right. Gus is too young and too sheltered to be what she needs; she’ll break his heart. But maybe, Gus is right.

“Justin and I will fly up this weekend to meet her.”

“Come on, honey,” she urges her daughter under the umbrella. “Let’s hurry.”

But JR is never in a hurry. She jumps into a puddle, giggling when the water splashes them, before doing it again.

“JR, stop that!”

“But Mom,” JR singsongs, her smile bright. “It’s fun.”

Lindsay squeezes her hand, and they jump into the next puddle together.

“What’s it matter?”

Debbie forces him to look at her. “It matters to me.”

“And if I tell you,” Brian yells defiantly. “What are you going to do? Hug me and make it all better?”

“I would if you’d let me,” Debbie ignores Brian’s snort. “But you won’t; so I’m calling your mother and telling her you’re staying for the weekend.”

He nods, and they pretend it’s enough.

“Ma.”

Something in Michael’s voice makes Debbie stopped wiping down the counter and step out from behind the cash register. Michael is there with Ben, and they are both holding one hand of a small boy, Debbie would guess he’s five or six.

“Who is this?” She asks, bending down.

“This is Marcus,” Michael takes a deep breath. “Our son.”

“Your what!” Debbie can’t help shouting.

Marcus takes a step back toward Ben. “He’s our foster son for now, but we’ve been approved to adopt him. We couldn’t tell anyone until we were sure, until we could bring him home.”

Title: Coming to Terms
Author: [info]jule1122
Prompt: The hand you were dealt

Justin doesn’t get angry anymore. He stops when he needs to, letting Brian massage the cramps from his palm.

People ask him about it. Is he bitter, full of regrets, haunted by what could have been? He gives stupid, pat answers because he doesn’t know how to explain.

He thinks about how he used to draw, with careful lines and painstaking attention to detail, and knows it would never have been able to hold his anger, his pain the way his painting does. He paints now knowing those careful lines wouldn’t be broad enough to hold his joy, his love.

Prompt: Just stay in and watch TV

Brian came home and found Justin and Daphne curled up on the couch watching Magic Mike. He didn’t say a word, just changed out of his suit before grabbing a spoon from the kitchen and sitting next to Daphne.

Eying the cartons of ice cream on the coffee table, Brian decided Butter Pecan was the least likely to completely ruin his diet. Pretending to be caught up in the strip dance currently playing, he silently took the caramel sauce Justin held out.

When the scene changed, he planted a sticky kiss on Daphne’s cheek. “I knew Dan was a dick.”

Prompt: Losers

As each person in the circle spoke, Ted tried to concentrate on what they were saying instead of dreading his turn to speak. The counselor had started a discussion of things they’d lost to drugs, and Ted wasn’t ready to face his list of failures.

One of the angrier members of the group, Mark Ted thought, interrupted. “It’s not about what we lost. We’re just a bunch of losers. We started taking drugs because we’re losers. We couldn’t handle drugs because we’re losers. And we’ll probably start using again because we’re losers.”

Ted had a horrible feeling he was right.

Title: Unexpected Sanctuary
Author: [info]jule1122
Prompt: Picture Prompt-Waterfall
Notes: 2 drabbles

Gus didn’t want to move to the country. He loved Toronto, and let his mothers know every chance he got. He could walk to his friends’ houses in Toronto; he could play on his computer without waiting for someone to hook up the internet. The country sucked. Fed up with his complaining as they tried to unpack, they sent him to explore the woods behind the house.

Gus hated the woods. They were hot and buggy and too quiet. Then he discovered the small waterfall at the edge of their property, and it became his favorite place in the world.

Title: It's Even Worse Than Last Year
Author: xheartrockx
Prompt(s): Do you wanna hold me?, Torrential downpour, You love me so much, History repeats itself
Notes: This is the sequel to The Worst Holiday Season Ever – which you should read in order for this to make sense. This starts shortly after Thanksgiving and follows the prompts in order. Sometimes it's one prompt!day per fic!day, sometimes I use more than one prompt to tell a day in the fic.
