[Nov. 3rd, 2009|11:26 pm] |
Title: Trick or Treat But Hold the Relish Condom: Justin
Justin opened the file Lindsay sent him and immediately called Brian. He’d barely stopped laughing when Brian answered the phone. “So have you seen the pictures?” he asked.
“It’s not funny,” Brian snapped. “What the fuck was Lindsay thinking?”
“Gus is eight,” Justin explained patiently. “I don’t think you can blame his costume choice on Lindsay this year.”
“There is no fucking way my son would voluntarily dress as a processed meat product.”
“He was a hotdog, Brian, you can say it. I wonder if Mel made him kosher?” Justin’s laugher almost drowned out the sound of the dial tone. |

Title: Killing Time Condom: Justin
Realizing he had an hour to kill before his last meeting, Brian called down to the art department.
“I won’t bother asking if the changes for Diva Pets are done because if they aren’t, you’re fired. Send them up with Taylor.”
Justin carefully set the boards against the wall before locking the door. “Cynthia’s holding your calls, and they fucked the font up again, but I’ll take care of it later.”
Brian leaned back in his chair, “I believe I made it clear that if the boards weren’t right, someone would get their ass chewed.”
“Must be my lucky day.” |

[Oct. 21st, 2009|09:18 am] |
Title: Not Enough Condom: Justin
Brian paced restlessly around the loft. A shitty day followed by a piss-poor crowd at Babylon and an incredibly subpar blowjob had left him irritated and on edge. What he needed was to spend a few hours fucking Justin into the mattress, but that wasn’t going to happen.
Looking for a distraction, he disregarded anal beads and butt plugs in favor of a cock ring and his favorite dildo. Brian rolled his shoulders and took a last drag from his joint before stretching out on the bed. Sighing in frustration, he glared at the ceiling and reached for his phone. |

[Oct. 13th, 2009|09:20 pm] |
Title: Midnight Memories Notes: I borrowed Bruce from my own story Tapestry, but it was just for the name. Condom: Blake
Emmett’s party dragged on, and he didn’t make it home until well after midnight. Trying to unwind, he settled on the couch and flicked through the channels, searching for a good movie. It was a Betty Davis kind of night.
When he stumbled across an old Ironmen’s game, he only meant to watch a few minutes, but it was still on when Bruce wandered out an hour later.
“Hey, babe.” He dropped a kiss on Emmett’s head. “I didn’t know you liked football.”
“I don’t.” Emmett smiled and caught Bruce’s hand. “Did I ever tell you about dating the quarterback?” |

Title: Tofu Emergency Notes: Lyrics from U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." Condom: Daphne
“Justin, thank God you’re here!”
Justin looked up in surprised as Michael approached and shoved a crumbled piece of paper into his hand.
“Ben asked me to pick up some groceries on my way home, but I’ve been here for over an hour, and I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”
Justin scanned the list. “Tofu, miso paste, fermented black beans, cellophane noodles. What the fuck is Ben making?”
“I’m afraid to find out,” Michael winced.
Justin shuddered in sympathy while dialing his phone. “Daph, where’s that freaky health food store you shop at? Michael’s having a tofu emergency.” |

Title: Good Genes Notes: I know this could use some tinkering, but I have been struggling with this challenge all week, and this came out at exactly 100 words so I'm afraid to mess with it. Condom: Michael
“We did it! I’m pregnant!”
Brian held the phone away from his ear. Lindsay hadn’t even given him a chance to say hello. He listened to her babble about pregnancy tests and morning sickness and due dates all the while resisting the urge to shout “No.”
He wanted to take it back, but it was too late. Brian knew he was never meant to be a father even if it was in name only, but now he was stuck.
When Lindsay finally paused for breath, he responded the only way he could. “I told Melanie I was the better man.” |

| Challenge #133: Jealousy |
[Sep. 22nd, 2009|09:19 pm] |
Title: Standing on the Outside Condom: Ben
Debbie called Jennifer at least once a week with updates, full of stories about what Justin was doing in school, how the customers at the diner loved him, and the status his ever evolving relationship with Brian.
Jennifer soaked up every detail eagerly, both profoundly grateful to Debbie for helping her stay part of Justin’s life and deeply resentful that Debbie was the one to share all this with him. While Jennifer struggled to accept Justin’s sexuality and new life, Debbie stepped in and loved him just as he was. Jennifer wondered if he’d ever really be her son again. |

[Sep. 15th, 2009|09:11 pm] |
Title: Leave Me Starblind Notes: For my darling noteverything. Title borrowed from an Erasure song. Condom: Brian and Justin
Justin quickly discovered that sex was awesome and overwhelming and sex with Brian Kinney was fucking mind-blowing. At first every touch, every look from Brian went straight to his dick, and he couldn’t form a single thought that didn’t include the word “orgasm” in big blinking letters.
It took time, fucking other guys, watching Brian fuck other guys for him to realize that sex was mostly about getting off, but sometimes the way Brian touched him or looked at him or kissed him was as much about all things Brian wouldn’t say to him as it was about feeling good. |

[Sep. 15th, 2009|07:05 pm] |
Title:Tough Enough Condom: Emmett and Drew
Drew had been taught that it was heroic to play through pain. Running on a sprained ankle or throwing with a broken wrist, no matter how many drugs, both legal and illegal, you used to dull the pain, made you brave. The more you acted like you didn’t feel the pain, the more you were applauded.
Drew realized long ago that Emmett was his hero. But it wasn’t until Emmett started telling him stories about growing up in Hazelhurst that Drew realized how much of his life he’d spent playing through his pain even if all his wounds weren’t physical. |

Title: Not Your Ordinary In-Laws Condom: Vic and Rodney
Debbie thought of Vic every day, but some days all she could remember were the ways she failed him. She couldn’t fix the past so focused on the things she could do-helping with Vic Grassi House and taking care of Rodney. She knew Rodney had no family of his own so she made him part of hers. After the first few holidays, he stopped protesting. Rodney could never replace Vic, but she loved him for the happiness he’d given her brother. When she and Carl finally married, it felt almost natural to have him walk her down the aisle. |

[Sep. 7th, 2009|07:00 pm] |
Title: No Sound but the Rain Condom: Ted
Justin dashed to his apartment through the increasingly heavy rain. By the time he’d trudged up the stairs, he was damp and shivering.
Justin stepped out of the bathroom, still drying his hair, and called out to. . . no one. Sighing, he heated a can of soup and debated eating in front of the TV or computer. In the end, it was easier to stand at the stove. Having rushed through the rain instead of lingering at the markets and shops along his route home, the evening stretched endlessly in front of him. New York was always lonelier when it rained. |

Title: Private Screening Notes: Continuation of Movie Night Condom: Ted
Somehow the kids managed to stay awake until the credits. The marathon popcorn fight started by Michael and Brian, but joined by everyone , may have helped. But by the time the yard was cleaned up, all three kids were sound asleep.
Emmett helped Ted and Blake to their car while Michael and Ben carried Gus and JR into the house.
“I can’t believe you bought this,” Justin said once he and Brian were alone dismantling the projector.
Brian pulled Justin close, kissing him deeply. “They’re leaving in two days, and my cock will look fucking huge on that screen.” |

Title: Movie Night Notes: For fun_demented who gave me the prompt I am just always dying to read about Britin. How about an end of summer drabble, Labor Day weekend? Movies on the grass at Britin? Swimming in the pool? Comdom: Ted
The kids were half-asleep before it was dark enough to use the state of the art outdoor projector Brian bought the same day he’d purchased four first class tickets from Toronto to Pittsburgh.
Debbie passed out bags filled with hot, buttery popcorn as the familiar Disney music began to play. Lindsay followed with juice boxes while Ben discreetly handed out beers to the adults.
Gus and JR dragged their sleeping bags right onto the lawn. Ted and Blake’s daughter sat between them for awhile until, still nervous around so much family, she curled up on the swing with her fathers. |

This drabble falls between my previous drabbles Sinking Ship and Smooth Sailing. You made need to reread those for this to make sense. Condom: Ted
Brian came home to find Justin sitting in the dark. He noticed his bag on floor and half-expected Justin to explain why they needed to move on again.
“Hey,” he said, hoping he didn’t sound as uncertain as he felt.
Justin smiled, and Brian realized his bag was open and partially unpacked.
“I hear Kinnetik’s looking for an Art Director who will work for room, board, and mind-blowing sex.”
Brian wanted to say no, wanted to tell him not to sacrifice his dreams to save Brian’s, but he’d never been that unselfish. Instead, he held out his arms, “Welcome aboard.” |

Title: Taking the Plunge Notes: For secretsolitaire who gave me the prompt What about Ted and Blake on an anniversary (or maybe even talking about which anniversary to use)? Condom: Ted
Ted stood outside, Blake’s gift a heavy weight in his pocket, wondering if he should wait for another day. Then he reminded himself that he choose this day for a reason even if he wasn’t sure Blake would remember.
Pinning down an anniversary in a relationship filled with endings and beginnings was virtually impossible. His birthday was the logical choice, but it never felt right to Ted. It was this day, a year ago, when Blake moved in again, that Ted finally believed they had their timing right.
Ted opened the door to a candle-lit table and another new beginning |

Title: Beaches Notes: Thank you to the fabulous noteverything for the beta. Condom: Ted
Carl walked in and rushed to the couch when he spotted Debbie and Emmett sitting together, pillows clutched to their chests, lips quivering, and tears streaming down their faces.
“What’s wrong, Sweetheart? Is someone hurt?” Carl dropped to his knees in front of Debbie.
“Barbara Hershey,” Emmett sniffed, pointing to the screen.
“Cancer,” Debbie added. “Now stop blocking the view. Bette’s about to sing ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’.”
“Oh for God’s sake,” Carl muttered under his breath as he struggled to his feet. He headed for the stairs, and, out of spite, took the carton of Rocky Road with him. |

Title: Delayed Gratification Condom: Blake
Justin stepped out of the bathroom, naked, skin still damp and dick half-hard.
Brian raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t jerk off in the shower?”
“Thought about it.” Justin climbed into the bed and straddled Brian’s hips. “Then I thought about you, your hands,” Justin entwined his fingers with Brian’s, leaning down until their faces almost touched. “Your mouth,” he whispered before their lips met in a soft kiss.
“I thought about how good your fingers feel on my balls when you suck me off, and I decided you were worth the wait.”
“Smart boy,” Brian said before proving him right. |

Title: Spa Day Notes: Thank you vl_redreign Condom: Melanie
“I hope you’re happy!”
Emmett couldn’t stop laughing long enough to respond.
“This is all your fault. ‘Have some fun, Ted. You can make a spa party from your refrigerator, Ted.’ I never should have listened to you.”
Emmett composed himself. “I told you to make an avocado mask and put cucumber slices on your eyes. I never said anything about blueberries!” One look at Ted’s indignant, purple-stained face sent Emmett back into gales of laughter.
“What am I going to do now?”
“Perhaps a nice oatmeal bath.”
Emmett ducked as the empty pint of blueberries sailed over his head. |

“Ted and I went over the new financials.”
“How does it look for Kinnetik New York?”
“What did we say last year?”
“The same thing you’ve said every year, ‘maybe one day the timing will be right,’” Justin quoted with a sigh before rallying. “I’ve been thinking about moving back.”
“You’re not leaving New York,” Brian said decisively. “Not when Kinnetik’s ready to expand.”
“I hate you.”
“No, you don’t.”
“You’re spending the first week on the couch.”
“No, I’m not.”
“No, you’re not,” Justin admitted. “But you owe me at least fifty blow jobs.”
“I can live with that.” |

“Emmett? It’s the middle of the fucking night! What are you doing?”
Emmett shrugged and pulled a casserole from the oven.
“Do I smell bacon?” Carl wandered into the kitchen.
“It’s a proscuitto and smoked mozzarella strata with Italian hashbrowns,” Emmett explained.
Talking over Emmett, Debbie added, “Emmett’s trying to cook his way out of a broken heart.”
“My heart’s not broken!” Emmett insisted. “I’m catering a brunch Sunday, and creativity doesn’t punch a time clock.”
“Neither does an empty stomach.” Carl grabbed a plate. “No point in wasting all this food.”
Bowing to the inevitable, Debbie started the coffee. |

Title: Turn a Deaf Ear Notes: Thank you to my incredible beta noteverything Condom: Brian
Brian flexed his aching hand, staring at it in disbelief. He’d hit Michael, something he swore he’d never do. But Michael’s words echoed in his head. You might as well have just left him lying there. There was no fucking way Brian could let Michael finish that sentence, not knowing how it ended.
Not when that image still haunted his dreams. Christ, he’d rather have Justin alive and fucking every love-struck fool at PIFA than lying motionless in a pool of blood. Brian had never said those words, but Michael had always understood the things he couldn’t say. Until now. |

Title:Shower Scene, Take Two Notes: Mods, I hope this is close enough to the challenge theme to count. I thought it was "gym" not "at the gym." Condom: Brian
Justin breathed a sigh of relief as Brian drove them away from his parent’s house; he wouldn’t have survived under Craig’s rules. Luckily, Brian had saved him. Justin wanted to thank him, but Brian never even looked at him during the ride home.
At the loft, Brian headed straight for the shower. Thinking of the story Brian had told him the first night about sucking his gym teacher off in the shower with his clothes on, Justin figured out the perfect way to thank Brian, one Brian would understand and appreciate. Justin straightened his tie and stepped into the shower. |

Title:Sacrilege Notes: Thank you noteverything for the looking this over for me! Condom: Ted
“So Brian, Justin tells me things are going well at Babylon.” Lindsay waved at Gus as he reached the top of the slide.
“Thank fucking God. Sometimes I forget how fickle fags are.”
“So easily distracted by a pretty face, or ass, in your case,” Lindsay teased.
“They came to their senses. Not every pretty face lives up to the hype.”
“I was wondering, since you’re in charge, if you would be bringing back Dyke Night?” Lindsay gave Brian her sweetest smile.
Brian snorted. “I’ll schedule it right between Senior Night and Family Night.”
“You could have just said no.” |

Justin didn’t even pretend to be surprised to find Brian waiting for him when he finished his shift at the diner.
“You know,Brian,” he said, linking their arms. “If I’m working so I can repay you for New York, leaving a thirty dollar tip kind of defeats the purpose.”
Brain looked Justin over, from the jeans that hugged his ass to the t-shirt so tight you could see his nipple ring from across the room, and smirked. “Does it?”
Justin laughed. “The guy at table six left me a fifty.”
“The guy at table six isn’t going to blow you.” |

Title: Better Than Snookums Condom: Justin
“So what’s it like?” Daphne asked after a week.
“Not bad,” Justin shrugged. “Not as cool as living with Brian, but better than home. Except. . .”
“Except what?” Daphne prodded, not wanting to think about how Justin couldn’t go home. As much as her parents annoyed her, she couldn’t imagine living somewhere else.
“Debbie calls me Sunshine,” Justin complained. “All the time.”
Daphne giggled. “It could be worse.”
“Whatever. I have to go, or I’ll be late for work.” Justin bumped her gently before turning away.
“See you later, Sunshine!” Daphne called out, laughing even harder when Justin flipped her off. |

Title: Not According To Plan Condom: Ben
Daphne,
September called AGAIN. She wants to go to the mall. Call her back!
Love, Mom
Daphne crumbled up the note and threw it away. Her mom must be really worried if she wanted Daphne to go shopping instead getting ahead on her first semester reading. Daphne didn’t have time for either.
The summer before college was supposed to be the best of their lives. She and Justin planned to spend it hanging out by the pool, dancing at Babylon, and smoking Brian’s joints.
She was still spending all her time with Justin. He just didn’t know she was there. |

Title: Never Going Home Note: Thank you to flamencanyc for being such patient and helpful beta! Title taken from the Erasure song "Home" because it's late, and I'm too tired to think of one, Condom: Ben
The first week of August, Pittsburgh was so hot and humid that when Emmett stepped out of his apartment he felt like he was back home in Hazelhurst. But then he walked down Liberty Avenue, and while people waved or stopped to say hello, not one person spit on him.
When he reached the Diner, he was soaked with sweat and dying for some of his Momma’s lemonade. But after being greeted with hugs, and teasing backed by love not hate, he remembered that Debbie’s lemon bars were even better.
Pittsburgh might not be Hazelhurst, but it certainly was home. |

Title: Familiar Sight Notes: I'm too stubborn to give up my goal of at least 1 drabble per challenge so for now you are stuck with my last minute semi-desperate attempts to meet the deadline. Sorry. Condom: Ben
Justin woke as Brian was coming out of the bathroom. He watched Brian yawn and shove his hands into his already mussed hair, making it stick out in even more impossible angles. He never thought he’d miss Brian’s bedhead, but it was a surprisingly welcome sight.
He must have smiled because Brian made a face and asked, “What?”
A quick joke was on the tip of Justin’s tongue, but Brian was sensitive about his hair. Thinking of all the mornings he woke up alone, Justin chose to remain silent. He just shook his head and welcomed Brian back to bed. |

Title: The Best Intentions Condom: Ben
The Dean rose and shook their hands. “It was a pleasure meeting both of you, and I hope to hear from you soon. Remember, we only have a few openings remaining, and I’d love to see one of them go to Justin.”
Jennifer turned to Craig as soon as they walked outside, “What do you think?”
“Did you see the price? It’s almost as much as Dartmouth.”
“I know it’s a lot of money, but look at this place.” Jennifer held out her arms, smiling as she looked over the beautiful campus. “Justin will be happy here. He’ll be safe.” |

Title: Beacon Condom: Melanie
Emmett entered the diner with a flourish, causing Brian to shade his eyes as he approached. “Honeycutt, what the fuck?”
“Don’t you love it!” Emmett did a slow pirouette, showing off the tight neon yellow shirt he’d paired with his favorite tangerine leather pants. “I look at all those clouds and decided I needed an outfit that screamed. . .”
“Colorblindness?”
“Spring!” Emmett finished.
“You look like the victim of a highlighter explosion.”
Before Emmett could protest, Debbie came over. “I heard it was going to be foggy tonight. Em, are you standing on top of Babylon to guide the queers home?” |

Title: Worth the Wait Condom: Melanie
Justin rarely joined Brian when he entertained clients, but the Ambrose’s had lost a son to AIDS in the eighties and insisted on meeting Brian’s partner. They were a sweet couple, filthy rich, but also dull as dirt.
“If he mentions his colon one more time, I’m going to scream,” Justin hissed as the waiter set their plates down.
“Just keep smiling, and later you can scream as loud as you want while I pound your ass with my cock.” Brian whispered while pretending to brush back a lock of Justin’s hair.
Watching them, Mrs. Abrose sighed, “Aren’t they cute.” |

Title: Smooth Sailing Notes: Sequel to Sinking Ship written for vl_redreign who wanted Ted to fix it! Condom:Emmett
“Brian, I don’t know what to say.”
“A gold watch seemed so cliché,” Brian shrugged, striving for nonchalance.
The premium box seats for Pittsburgh’s Opera Season cost him nothing but money, but securing luxury hotel accommodations and tickets for opening night at The Met proved more difficult. Five years after Kinnetik’s near demise, Brian again had the connections to do it.
They’d made big sacrifices-selling Britin, Justin leaving New York to become Kinnetik’s art department, Ted working essentially for free, Blake filling in where he could. Yet, Ted never once lost faith.
Brian met his eyes, “And you deserve it.” |

Title: Sinking Ship Condom: Emmett
“Fuck.”
“Brian,” Ted began, but Brian held up a hand to stop him.
The reports were clear. It was bad enough reading about Kinnetik’s likely demise; Brian couldn’t stomach Ted explaining it in excruciating detail. And there were other things to attend to, like Ted’s career. Brian’s inattention may have led to this mess, but he would salvage what he could. “Theodore, I spoke to Leo Brown, and he has a comparable position for you at Brown Athletics if you want it.”
“No way. If we go down, we go down fighting, together.”
“Well then, batten down the hatches, Matey.” |

Title: What's in a Name Notes: For noteverything who convinced me this wasn't the stupidest idea in the history of drabbles. Condom: Ted
Brian, Brian, Brian. Daphne was so sick of hearing that name, but he was all Justin talked about. She didn’t get it. He wasn’t nearly as hot as Justin made him out to be, and most of the time, he didn’t seem to even like Justin. All he wanted was sex. Justin could do better. If he just looked around he’d see there were people who really cared about him. But all he cared about was Brian Kinney.
Daphne knew one thing. If that was the face of God, her mother was never guilting her into going to church again. |

Title: Seeking Relief Condom: Ted
Sweat beaded Justin’s face as he waited for the fan to make its next ineffectual pass over him. It was too hot to sleep, but too hot to do anything else so he lay sprawled across his bed, naked and lonely. His mind wandered, and when the fan did reach him again, it was easy to imagine it was Brian’s breath ghosting across his nipples.
Justin reached for his cock and thought about Brian’s tongue, imagined him slowly licking the sweat from his body. His hand sped up, and he came with a groan, now hot and sticky, but content. |

Title: Behind Glass Notes: Thank you to vl_redreign for the quick beta! Title taken from the following lyrics from Morrissey’s song “My Life is a Succession of People Saying Goodbye.” And all of the best things in life Are behind glass Money, jewelry and flesh Condom: Ted
Brian toyed with his cigarette and watched Justin sleep. He was quiet tonight, letting Brian pretend he was watching Justin from doorway of his bedroom. There would be nothing between them; no glass, no guilt, nothing to stop him joining Justin, only distance Brian could close in heartbeat.
Justin stirred, and Brian stepped back, out of Justin’s line of sight, suddenly grateful for the barrier between them. He never let Justin see him, never let their eyes meet; knowing if they did, and he saw Justin’s eyes filled with pain and fear instead of desire, the illusion would be shattered. |

Title: Moving On Condom: Blake
Brian shut the door and ran his fingers over the letters, following their path, remembering how he’d been filled with pride and fear the first time he’d seen them. “Kinnetik.” The name declaring it his in every way, right from the start. In the end, Kinnetik had succeeded beyond even his dreams, and he dreamed big. But now, beyond the doors, there was nothing but darkness. The parties over, the goodbyes said, the boxes packed and shipped.
Brian pressed his hand against the glass one more time before walking away. Justin was waiting, and they had a plane to catch. |

Title: Housesitters Condom: Michael
“How exactly did Mikey con you into watering his plants while he and the Professor are off ‘rediscovering their love?’”
Justin ignored Brian and reset the thermostat.
“Isn’t this Debbie’s job?” Brian rifled through a stack of mail, holding a thick envelope up to the light.
“He doesn’t want her, or you, snooping.” Justin took the mail off him.
“At least I’ll know what to do with the Ben-sized dildo I find.”
Justin snorted.
Brian hugged him from behind before reaching down and cupping his dick. “Come upstairs, and I’ll show you where Mikey hides his toys.”
“Lead the way.” |

Title: Lupe's Last Stand Condom: Emmett
“Come on you little tease, you know you want it.”
Blake looked up from his book, surprised to hear Ted’s voice since they were alone in the house. He walked into the bedroom and found Ted on his hands and knees, ass wiggling as he inched backwards. Blake smelled. . . fish?
“Ted?”
“Lupe’s in the vent again and won’t come out. Not even for salmon.” Ted sat back and threw his hands up, frustrated. “Salmon!”
“Lupe will come out eventually. Perhaps if we ignore her?” Blake eyed the bed knowing Ted would take the hint. He, after all, was no tease. |

Title: Inspiring Lesson Condom: Brian because noteverything asked so nicely:)
Justin shifted uncomfortably in chair as Debbie lectured him about safe sex. He shouldn’t be hard while she talked about anal warts, flavored condoms, and the importance regular testing.
But all he could think about his first night with Brian, when he’d asked about safe sex, and Brian had told to put the condom on him. It was the first time he’d touched another guy’s dick and remembering how hot and hard it felt in his hand made his own cock throb.
“Now go jerk off before you explode.”
Not needing to be told twice, Justin ran up the stairs. |
