| 2010 37 Days of Gusmas: Closed // Challenge #184: Sick!fic |
[Jan. 3rd, 2011|08:20 pm] |
WOW! The 2010 "37 Days of Gusmas" challenge is over, with a BANG! $1294 raised for The Trevor Project! Ahhhh-mazing!
The prompts usually change on Thursdays, so we're going to just do a fast and dirty prompt until this coming one. It's challenge #184: Sick!fic.
That means someone's sick, anything from food poisoning to pneumonia. You can do cancer arc stuff if you want to, but as a personal favor to me, no HIV fic, okay? *smootch*
Our battle will be between FUCKING CHICKEN SOUP and YAK SHIT TEA!
 vs. 
Have fun!
Love,
Xie |

[Jan. 2nd, 2011|03:14 pm] |
I'm almost speechless. Folks, the Queer as Folk fandom raised $1294 for The Trevor Project in the "37 Days of Gusmas" Drabble-a-thon!
All the numbers are below, and thanks so much to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) notreallyme10 and kay_jay_dee for helping with the count -- notreallyme's format was so awesome it was the basis for this post!
I honestly did not expect the amount raised to be so huge, and owe an enormous thanks to everyone who pledged and to everyone who wrote and/or beta'd for the writers. I'd like to especially thank those who wrote for all 37 prompts -- jule1122, frantic_quest, rainbow1907, kay_jay_dee, wren_kt7oz -- and brianswalk, who as I posted the other day, threw the support of LJ's drabylon community behind this effort, pledged beaucoup bucks herself, AND drabbled her fingers off! Thank you, Lisa!
Great thanks as well to happier_bunny and besamislabios for allowing me to use ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) qaf_drabbles for this event -- THANK YOU, LADIES!
I'd like to ask all of you to read and comment on these stories, as your way of thanking everyone who has turned out to support The Trevor Project in its wonderful efforts to help and protect LGBT and questioning youth who are being bullied, harassed, thrown out of their families, or are contemplating suicide.
Thank you, QAF fandom, and may we all have a wonderful New Year!
Love,
Xie

[Jan. 2nd, 2011|01:46 pm] |
notreallyme10 has already done her count of the "Gusmas" drabbles, and now I'm going to do mine. If they match, I'm just going to assume that was it, but if anyone else wants to count as well, the more the merrier!
If they DON'T match, then that loud screaming sound you hear will be me. ;)
I hope that soon I'll be able to tell you just how broke you guys made me, and everyone else who donated/pledged! Here we go... |

Title: Home for the Holidays 37: A Happy New Year
Author: frantic_quest
Prompt: December 31: New Year's Day
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
Justin came downstairs to Deb’s mostly empty kitchen, disappointed that Brian seemed to have left without saying good-bye again.
The holiday season was officially over, and Justin felt no closer to being a permanent part of Brian’s life now than he had on Thanksgiving Day.
He gave Deb a weak smile at her sympathetic glance.
The front door suddenly opened and Brian stuck his head inside. “Ready, Justin?”
“Huh?” Justin responded in confusion.
“The fucking holidays are over, it’s time to go home. Aren’t you coming?”
Justin intercepted Vic’s knowing wink.
The New Year was off to a miraculous start. |

Title: Home for the Holidays 36: Booty Call
Author: frantic_quest
Prompt: December 31: New Years Eve
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
It was New Year’s Eve and Babylon was at its decadent best. Brian rested his arms on the rails of the catwalk, surveying the writhing masses of fags hoping to get lucky before midnight.
He was trying to look nonchalant, but his eyes kept straying to the entrance of the club, searching for a blond twat who apparently needed a fucking personal invitation to drag his bubble butt to the party.
Brian dialed Deb’s. “Hey,Vic. Is there a teenaged drama queen moping around the house?”
He listened, then sighed, “Tell him to have his ass out front in ten minutes.” |

Title: Home for the Holidays 35: Regret
Author: frantic_quest
Prompt: December 30: "It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets." ~William Thomas
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
Brian stood before the window, cigarette in hand, watching the city below rushing to get ready for the start of a new year.
He wasn’t a nostalgic man, but he considered himself honest, and the past year had caused him to question some long-held beliefs.
He’d never admit it in the cold light of day, but something deep within his core had shifted in ways that he knew he could never reverse.
Gus had innocently started the process, with Justin somehow close behind, and Brian’s only regret was that someday their eyes would reflect the disgust and disappointment he deserved. |

| Gusmas 2010 - The Real Meaning of ... |
[Jan. 2nd, 2011|02:30 pm] |
Title: The Real Meaning Of ...
Author: Prompts: Drabbles for all 37 prompts
Notes: These form a single, if somewhat episodic, story that uses all 37 prompts - in order, even). To be honest, I'm kind of double-dipping here. I'd committed to doing a story for the Moonshadow Tribe Holiday challenge, which this year was "The Real Meaning Of ..." I hadn't been able to come up with anything, except a vague feeling that I wanted this to be a new Justin!Rage story, until I found this challenge yesterday. I looked through the prompts and suddenly it all flowed together. So, a classic case of two birds with one stone.
Warning: For those not familiar with my Justin!Rage stories, parts of this won't make any sense at all. Briefly, they are set in an AU where Justin and Brian meet later and under completely different circumstances. Justin has some kind of "super-power" abilities associated with light, which he uses when the lights on the Christmas tree blow. That's all I can say without giving away major spoilers for those stories (and this tale inevitably does) so if you're interested in reading them, I suggest you do that first. They are all here: Justin!Rage Index.
Now let the drabbles begin!

Title: What Love Means
Author: notreallyme10
Prompt(s): Dec. 7: Red Roses
Notes: Thank you Xie!
It took Ethan for Justin to learn that red roses on Valentines Day don’t really mean anything.
But it took Brian much longer to realize that when Justin talks about love, commitment and family it doesn’t have to mean babies, white picket fences and extreme boredom. Instead it means a loft in Soho, spending time with loved ones and the best sex Brian’s ever had.
Roses are nice, but what Justin really wants is a future. And Brian always wants to fuck Justin... now and even ten years from now, so he figures that means he wants a future, too. |

Title: New Dad
Author: notreallyme10
Prompt(s): Dec. 19: Fathers and sons
Notes: Thanks to Xie for looking this over for me!
Michael never had a father and sometimes when Hunter is being particularly angry and hateful he wants to point out that he would have given anything to have a father like himself.
But then he remembers that even without a father, he had a childhood filled with love and affection... maybe even a little too much. And Hunter had none of that.
So he bites his tongue and lets Hunter’s anger wash over him. It’s hard, but slowly Hunter seems to realize that no matter how hard he pushes, Ben and Michael aren’t going anywhere. And then it’s worth it. |

“So what are your resolutions, boys?” Debbie asked as she handed out their breakfasts.
“I’m going to stop worry so much.”
“Good luck with that one, Mikey,” Brian rolled his eyes.
“I’m going to find a way to go back to school,” Blake added.
“That’s wonderful; let me know if I can help.” Ben smiled at Blake. “I want to use mediation more regularly.”
“I’m going to add more flair to my events.”
“More flair?” Ted stared at Emmett.
“You can never be too fabulous,” Emmett shrugged. “What about you Brian?”
Brian raised a brow. “You can’t improve on perfection.” |

Prompt: New Year's Eve
“You could be in Times Square right now.”
“With a million screaming people, freezing my ass off and trying to catch a glimpse of some stupid ball. No thanks.” Justin shuddered, sinking lower on Brian’s cock and making Brian gasp. Justin stretched his arm back and stroked Brian’s testicles. “I have all the balls I need right here.”
Brian laughed, thrusting his hips up and pushing deeper into Justin. “Don’t worry, Sunshine, you won’t miss the fireworks.” Brian thrust up again.
“Shut up and fuck me,” Justin laughed before leaning down and kissing Brian just as the clock struck midnight. |

Ted accepted the sparkling cider Debbie handed him as midnight approached. He took a sip and made a face.
“Too sweet?” Blake asked, sipping his own cider.
“It’s not champagne I miss; it’s the choice,” Ted sighed.
“You still have a choice, Ted, and you make the right one every day you stay clean.”
“Do you ever stop wishing it never happened?”
“Not really.” Blake never lied to Ted. “But I love our life and who I am today. Every choice brought me here, and while it’s not the journey I would have chosen, I’m pretty happy with the destination.” |

A/N2: Well, this is it for me! I had loads of fun being here again, thank you all for being so welcoming. Thanks go to Xie for putting this wonderful idea together and helping out the amazing Trevor Project. *smooches & hugs*
See you in drabylon!
All Is Calm
Emmett’s antics redefined the term screaming faggot when Brian shoved snow down his pants. Defending the fair damsel’s honor, Brian was promptly tackled into a snowdrift by Michael and Justin. Ted, who had nestled himself into an easily defended corner of the yard, was feeling left out so commenced to bombard Ben with little white projectiles, surprising them both with his deadly accuracy.
Watching her boys from the kitchen window, Deb snuggled deeper into Carl’s embrace.
“You’re awfully quiet,” Carl murmured in her ear. “Should I be worried?”
“Nope,” she replied smiling serenely. “Everything is just as it should be.” |

A light smack on his butt roused Justin from his deep slumber and he mumbled a feeble complaint.
“Rise and shine, sonny boy, it’s a new year. You better get used to getting up early now.”
His next complaint was cut short by a gentle bite into his left butt cheek.
They met Daphne at the breakfast table, both greeting her with kisses on her smiling face.
“Shoveling down huge amounts of food again?” Brian teased her.
“Happy New Year, Daphne,” Justin beamed at his best friend.
“Happy New Year! This will be the most exciting year of our lives.”

“You should talk to Lindsay, Brian. She’s been acting weird. Did you know that she didn’t want to stay with us at first? I overheard Mel and Michael talking about it.”
“Yeah… Mikey told me.”
Brian sighed.
“Linds should get a life… and keep her nose out of ours. She doesn’t say it out loud but she has a problem with the baby. Afraid that he might replace Gus in my life.”
Justin nodded. “And her.”
Brian held out his hand to him with a crooked smile.
“It’s almost midnight, Sunshine. Come on, I saved the last dance for you.”

Distractions:
“Weren’t you going carousing with Emmett?”
“Silly me,” Justin quipped as he removed his coat and scarf. “I wanted to spend New Years Eve with you.”
“I don’t have time for distractions, Sunshine,” Brian reasoned in vain as Justin peeled away his sweater.
“They say what you’re doing at the stroke of midnight correlates directly to the rest of your year. Now the question is,” he purred as he teased his zipper down, “what would you like to be stroking at midnight?”
“Fine, one quick distraction,” Brian conceded as he kicked off his shoes, “then I have work to finish.” |

Title: Wisdom Comes Cheap

Prompt: Fortune Cookies
“Come on Emmet, read it,” Michael urged.
“And don’t forget ‘in bed,’” Ted added.
“That’s a stupid tradition,” Emmett made a face. “What happens when you get ‘Before success comes many failures,’ or ‘If at first you don’t succeed?’”
“If the fortune cookie fits,” Brian smirked.
Emmett threw his cookie at him, but then smiled. “Ohhh, maybe there is something to this. ‘Your talents are great and varied,’” he read.
“Hand it over, Honeycutt. That one’s mine.”
“Sorry, Brian, looks like you stuck with,” Emmett grabbed Brian’s fortune and read it. “‘You walk your path alone.’”
“In bed,” everyone chorused. |

Title: Just One Stop
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Photo of Pittsburgh
Brian pressed his forehead against the window as the plane began its descent. He never thought he’d be so happy to see fucking Pittsburgh.
After days of personal indignities and medical procedures, he’d wanted to run from John Hopkins, but all he could manage was a slow walk. It had taken every bit of his pride just to keep from limping.
Finally, he was home. He wished he’d taken a cab to the airport because he didn’t have the energy to drive. All he wanted was a drink and his bed.
But first there was someone he needed to see. |

Prompt: Words are cheap
“Three fucking years,” Debbie stared at the marker and blinked back tears.
“Every day, Vic, every day I miss you and love you, and I’ll never stop being sorry for the things I said.”
Debbie wiped her eyes. “You to know I’m taking care of Rodney and the guys at Grassi House, don’t you? And because you were right about what I needed, I’m loving Carl like I was so afraid to before and trying to let Michael have his own life. I do it for both of us because all the ‘I’m sorry’s in the world don’t matter now.” |

Title: There's Big Money in Greeting Cards
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Kwanzaa
Notes: No offense intended toward the actual celebration of Kwanzaa or those who observe it.
“How come they didn’t have Kwanzaa when we were kids?” Michael asked when a commercial filled with several celebrities offering a variety of holiday wishes came on.
“They did.”
“No, they didn’t,” Michael insisted. “Someone invented it a few years ago.”
“Mikey,” Brian looked at him like he was crazy. “No one ‘invented’ Kwanzaa.”
“So how come I never heard of it.”
“Because it was just another obscure holiday taking up space on your calendar until some fucking brilliant ad executive realized it was a goldmine of untapped marketing potential.”
“You mean like Sweetest Day?”
“Never underestimate the niche markets.” |

Prompt: Christmas Day
“Mel, wake up,” Lindsay shook her wife.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s Christmas.”
“Oh, fuck,” Melanie sat up. “Did we forget the stockings or to eat Santa’s cookies?”
When Lindsay didn’t say anything, Melanie rubbed her eyes and realized it was light out. “Where the fuck are the kids? They didn’t sneak down and open their gifts, did they?”
“No.” Lindsay stopped Melanie before she could get up. “I checked; they’re still sleeping.”
“Oh, good.” Melanie snuggled under the blankets and reached for Lindsay. “Go back to sleep.”
Lindsay rested her head on Melanie’s chest and sighed, “They’re not babies any more.” |

Prompt: Christmas Eve
“Debbie wants to know if we’re stopping by on Christmas Eve,” Justin yelled over the shower.
“Are you kidding?” Brian turned off the water and stepped out. “We have Christmas morning at Mikey’s with the munchers, the kids and Debbie, then lunch at your mother’s, followed by dinner at Debbie’s with every fag she can fit in her house. If I’m going to survive that, we’re spending every minute of Christmas Eve fucking and getting drunk.”
“So we’re not going to Midnight Mass?” Justin smirked.
“The only worship I plan to take part in involves my cock and your ass.” |

Prompt: Unexpected guests
“Mother Taylor! What a surprise,” Brian’s voice dripped with sarcasm.
“Brian, I heard Justin was in town so I thought. . .”
“Jennifer,” Debbie waved from the couch where she and Daphne had Justin cornered. “Justin was just telling us about all the celebrities he’s seen.”
“Would you like a drink?”
Jennifer shook her head, but Brian continued to the bar. “More for me.”
Later, Justin snuck away to join Brian and made a desperate grab for his drink.
Brian snatched it away. “You’re on your own. The next time you’re here for a weekend visit, don’t stop at the fucking diner.” |

Prompt: A moment of truth
“Well? What do you think?” Melanie asked.
“I’m not sure.” Lindsay cocked her head to the left. “Step closer to the light.”
Melanie sighed, but did as Lindsay asked.
“Oh, yeah,” Lindsay said with a chuckle. “It’s definitely grey.”
“God damn it.” Melanie yanked out the offending strand of hair. “Fuck, that hurt. The worst part is I can’t even blame Brian.”
“If it makes you feel any better, Justin told me Brian found his first six months ago.”
“Serves him right,” Melanie grumbled. “I wonder if it was on his head.”
“Mel!” Lindsay gasped before dissolving into uncontrollable laughter. |

Author: jule1122
Prompt: Solstice
“You’re quiet tonight.” Ted said as he came to stand behind Blake.
Blake leaned back against Ted but didn’t turn away from the window. “It’s the longest night of the year. All the darkness, the cold, it brings back memories.
Feeling Blake shiver, Ted wrapped his arms around him. “I’ve been told Solstice is also a time of renewal, a new beginning. So let’s light a fire and make some new memories.”
Blake laughed and turned around to kiss Ted. “I love you even when you’re corny. You start the fire, and I’ll make hot chocolate.”
“Don’t forget the marshmallows!” |

Prompt: December 29: Fortune Cookies
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
Brian pinched his nose as he listened to Justin queen out over the lack of fortune cookies in their take-out.
“How could they forget the fortune cookies?” He fumed, stomping around like the teenager he was. “Isn’t that like immediate bad luck or something?”
Brian pulled him over to the couch and pushed him down. “Yeah, it’s like an ancient Chinese curse that only works on bitchy drama queens. Pipe down, princess, you’re giving me a fucking headache.”
“Sorry.” He immediately straddled Brian’s lap, brushing his hair off his forehead gently. “I’m just a little anxious waiting for college letters.” |

Prompt: December 28: Picture of Pittsburgh in Winter
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
Justin had borrowed his mom’s car and driven to a park that had an intriguing view of the river with the city in the background.
It was a somewhat dismal scene given the bleakness of the Pittsburgh winter, but Justin was inspired by the gritty landscape, and sat in the car busily sketching.
He was working on his portfolio, having recently decided that since his dad had missed him at Christmas, maybe he’d be willing to pay his tuition to PIFA if Justin could manage to get a partial scholarship.
Maybe then his dad would be proud of him again. |

Prompt: December 27: Words Are Cheap
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
“Brian.” Justin whispered into the darkness, reluctant to break the mellow spell that sometimes surrounded Brian after he’d fucked some of his demons away.
“My mom told me that my dad admitted he missed seeing me for Christmas. Do you think I should call him?” Justin felt Brian stiffen slightly before roughly dragging Justin to spoon snugly against him.
“Words are cheap, Justin.” Brian’s voice was muffled as he spoke into the nape of Justin’s neck. “It’s a man’s actions that reveal the truth.”
Justin sighed, clutching Brian’s arm closer to his chest wondering if Brian practiced what he preached. |

Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
Brian stalked into the loft, tossing his briefcase on the floor, fingers already loosening his tie as he glanced first at the television, then at Justin, who was sprawled on the couch, apparently too engrossed in a program to even bother to say hello.
Brian’s bad day started to get worse. “What the fuck are you watching on my new 60” Plasma TV, couch potato?”
“Brian!” Justin jumped up and mollified Brian by fawning over him nicely. “I’m glad you’re home. Come watch this special on Kwanzaa with me.”
“Christ! Enough with the fucking holidays already! Come blow me instead.” |

Author: frantic_quest
Prompt: December 25: Christmas Day
Notes: Season 1 Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
Justin woke up on Christmas morning in Brian’s bed, stretching happily as he realized where he was.
Vic had told him Christmas was a time for miracles, and it seemed like he was right about that after all.
Brian had been unusually playful at Deb’s the night before, threatening to introduce Justin personally to all of the kinky toys being used by Deb’s Christmas bondage elves.
Everyone had laughed like little kids when Deb had shrieked at Brian to “Keep your dildos and butt plugs away from Sunshine’s ass,” covering her ears and humming when Justin had announced, “Too late!” |

Prompt: A phone call
“I’m getting married!” Daphne practically shrieked over the phone.
“Wow, Daph. That’s. . .”
“Sudden? Crazy? Romantic?” Daphne interrupted. “I know! And it’s only been six months, but I’m sure, positively, completely sure.”
“I was going to say wonderful,” Justin spoke quickly when Daphne paused to breathe.
“Oh,” Daphne sounded disappointed. “Do you mind if I practice the rest of my speech? I don’t think my parents will take it so well.”
“Ummm, Daphne,” Justin stopped her several minutes later. “You might want to leave out the part about multiple orgasms.”
“Just wanted to make sure you were still listening,” Daphne giggled. |

Title: Unwelcome Reminder
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Fathers and sons
“Kinney,” Brian grabbed the phone and kept working.
“Brian.”
“Mother,” Brian winced.
“There will be a mass for your father on Sunday. I thought you might want to come.”
“Little late for that. He’s been in the ground for over ten years.”
“Don’t be vulgar,” Joan snapped. “The mass is to commemorate his life. Claire and the boys will be there.”
“I know you’re dunk, but you must be high as well,” Brian laughed. “There’s not a damn thing about dear old Dad’s life worth commemorating except perhaps his death.”
The only response was the sound of the dial tone. |
