Santa's Queer As Folk Workshop

TO: asm614
FROM: netlagd
TITLE: The Love You Take
GIFT REQUEST: Fic -Angst is fine, as long as there is a happy ending. Future-fic is good/preferred too. I am not very picky as long as the plot is believable and everyone is in-character. The gang reacts to marriage equality finally being established in PA. Brian/Justin-centric, but any canon characters may be included. It's okay if it's future-oriented and B/J aren't together at the start, but they should end up that way by the end (but it's more than okay if they've been together and going strong all this time!) :)
NOTE: Post 513 – Future Fic. PG-13 (language, sexual situations). Banner (and beta) by the bestest such_a_steph who always manages to make me look better. Thanks Steph!
SUMMARY: The time has come.

TITLE: Caution: Wet Paint
GIFT REQUEST: Justin/Brian, paint, playful, sexy. Justin's new art project consists of a series of body prints, ♥-shaped (heart) ass prints, to be exact. Watching him at work it doesn't take long for Brian to get ideas. Clothes come off (Brian's), soon they find themselves covered in paint, everywhere, fun turns into hot passion, bonus points for creative use of brushes and other art supplies... For days they will find paint in various body orifices. would not be against all sorts of sexual adventures. (also, bottom or top...don't matter to me). Any time period (gapfiller or post-513).
NOTE: Well, this ended up being post-5.13 and very NC-17. Giftee, thank you for such a fun prompt! I hope you enjoy!

TITLE: Header/Banner
GIFT REQUEST:Header/Banner "I would love a new banner for my profile page with two quotes about writing: ""Whether or not you write well, write bravely"" - Bill Stout ""Fill your paper with the breathing of your heart."" - William Wordsworth. " The background theme can be the artist's discretion, but it would be great if it could features some kind of writing implement (e.g. fountain pen), as well as Brian and Justin - that's the 'write bravely' part.
NOTE: My dear Emily, I hope you like the graphics I did for you and that they're what you asked for. Happy Holidays!

TITLE: Silenced Nights
REQUEST: Angst, fluff, Hurt-comfort, Romance. Brian/Justin, Emmett, Gus, Ben, Daphne. Maybe it's Post-513 and Brian and Justin have an unconventional marriage. It's legal, but they still have an open-door policy, and some of their family tries to tell them why they're wrong for it (i.e. Mikey, Linds, Mel are most likely candidates). That's a specific idea, but really, I'd be happy with pretty much any Brian/Justin story if it includes Gus and Daphne and a somewhat happy or hopeful ending.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this idea. Gus isn't in it nearly as much as I would have liked, mainly because it was hard to fit him into the grown up conversations, but I hope that the end result is at least something like what the requester wanted. (BTW, I love Daphne. It was nice to spend some time with her.)
WARNING: It's not particularly nice to Michael and Melanie, but there's nothing in here that's outside the general tone of what was said and done in canon, and it's not meant to be taken too seriously.

TITLE: Stronger Together…
GIFT REQUEST: Fic. Angst, etc is fine, but prefer a hopeful, if not happy ending. With all the recent talk of a QAF movie, lets go with that. It's 10-12 years post series. Where are the guys now. I prefer mainly Brian & Justin as the central story, but would also like some inclusion of other characters, at least in terms of what they are up to now. Could be a reunion, could be a look back on what happened in the past, or could be ... you decide.
NOTE: AU. R, Porn. 18,000 words. After surviving years in a long-distance relationship, they finally marry only to be separated again. Just as they’re finally about to be reunited their relationship is tested once more. But they’re always stronger together, determined to make things work. Warnings: Love, Passion, Romance and a Little Angst, okay a lot of Angst in the beginning.

FROM: wren_kt7oz
TITLE: Pittsburgh, DC
REQUEST: hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, romance, fluff Brian/Justin - it's the holidays! A time for Christmas carols, merriment ... and cold and flu season. Somebody gets sick over the holidays -- how does everybody pull through?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm not sure this is anything like what the requester might have expected, or wanted, but it's the direction the story took from the minute I started to write. I have to admit I’m a sucker for Brian in take-charge mode, and I did build in some fluff with the kids and the rest of the family. I was even super-nice to Michael. I hope emynn enjoys it because I had a lot of fun writing it.

TITLE: Dance Me To The End Of Love
GIFT REQUEST: Video Not too angsty. Christmas is more for the warm fuzzies. Brian/Justin of course. Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love." So many key scenes between the two have involved dancing that this song seems just right for them to me. And it's so sexy. The original recording is around 2 mins shorter than the more recent live versions - but either is fine.

NOTE: Hope you'll like it. Did my best to get Mickey out of the picture. ;-)

TITLE: Encounters: A Mystery, Told in Drabbles
GIFT REQUEST: Brian/Justin. Some angst, some hurt/comfort... With a happy ending for the boys. It could be cancer, or a big fight.... let's see what the author's muse has to say :)
NOTE: My muse is a bit of a flake and the fic she insisted on writing has very little angst and no hurt/comfort. I hope it makes you smile anyway.
