The 37 Days of Gusmas Title/Series: Working it out (A Thanksgiving Visit, part X) Author: BookGirl Prompt: Fireplace Note: This is direct continuation of yesterday's drabble, found here. They made love and were cuddling (though Brian would never admit to either) in front of the fireplace before another word was spoken. “Sunshine, before that enthusiastic welcome I believe I asked you a question.” “I missed you.” “I saw you less than 24 hours ago.” “That does not negate the fact that I missed you.” Brian looked dubious but soldiered on. “Okay. What about the fact that you have a show in a few weeks?” Justin wiggled an arm out of the blankets to gesture at the easel in the corner. “I couldn't paint without my muse.” ( Parts II, III, and IV ) |

The 37 Days of Gusmas Title: Firebug Author: wavingcat5 Prompt: Fireplace Note: Coming into bushfire season here. This is not intended to trivialise those who lost their homes and lives last summer; rather, those events keep creeping into my thoughts, however indirectly. ‘Shoe brush’ says Brian, glancing at my latest thrift store find. ‘Fire brigade-issue. That’s what the F and B stand for.’ ‘Thanks. I never would have guessed that on my own.’ We kiss. Life is sweet now, thanks to Brian Kinney. Who’d have thought? I notice the initials on the brush aren’t stamped. They’re burnt into the wood. It’s a paradox. Fire department marks its property with fire? I walk in later to find him fucking some guy and I’m scorched. I’ve heard sometimes a firefighter is also a firebug. When I come back, Brian is polishing my shoes. |

The 37 Days of Gusmas Title/Series: Surprise! (A Thanksgiving Visit, part IX) Author: BookGirl Prompt: Wrapped Gifts and Credit Cards image
Justin was able to sweet talk the desk clerk into letting him into Brian's suite without much fuss. She thought it was “soooo romantic.” Justin stashed the small wrapped gift in an empty drawer and considered going out to look for Brian. But instead he set his easel in front of the windows and watched the kids sliding down the bunny slopes. He was so focused on capturing the reflection of the setting sun on the snow, that he almost didn't hear the door open. Brian looked shocked for a moment, but quickly gathered himself and raised an eyebrow “What the hell are you doing here?” "Surprise." |

The 37 Days of Gusmas Title: The Holy Grail Author: wavingcat5 Prompt: Image of gift and credit cards Notes: 3-drabble, slightly-cracked homage to another obsession of mine ;P Ted met Blake via online role playing games. As innocent as that sounded, Blake soon introduced Ted to other things. Bright, shiny, small things. From then on, Ted distanced himself from his old friends. ‘Joining us tonight Ted?’ asked Michael. ‘Nah. Can’t afford it.’ Michael was lost for words. A broke accountant was something of a contradiction in terms. ‘Are you okay, Ted?’ ‘I’m legendary! All these deals came up on Ebay this week. Medieval Market Village, Forestmen’s River Fortress, and the holy grail - the Yellow Castle!’ ‘You mean Lego?’ ‘Well, I knew they were missing from Blake’s collection, so -’ |

The 37 Days of Gusmas Title: Economic Summit Author: vl_redreignPrompt: Joy To The World Notes: This is set the same day as the last one, towards the end of the work day. Ted closed the door to his office. He stared at the spreadsheet again, crossed his fingers, and entered the last figures. He clicked ‘submit’, then refreshed the report. His phone rang before it finished. “Ted Schmidt.” “Teddy?” “Oh, hi, Em.” “Sweetie, you sound stressed.” “I’m working on the final quarter figures.” “Oh. That sounds like fun.” “Oh, yeah. You wanna come over and tell Brian that revenue is down 30 percent?” “Well, I’ll leave you to it, bye!” “Wait! Holy shit…” “What?” “It’s up. Thirty percent.” “That’s good, right?” “Fifty million dollars worth of good.” “Joy to the world!” “Yeah.” |

The 37 Days of Gusmas Title: Safe Author: wavingcat5 Prompt: Joy to the world Now I let Brian see me scared. To tell you the truth it brings out the best in him. I’ve never seen him so natural as when he’s protecting me, helping me recover, and making me believe I can. He still clowns his way out of affection. ‘You know how much I love sex in public places’. The last four words roll off his tongue too easily, too strategically. I think of the first six and the way he kissed me before he said them. They make me feel safe. The world is carrying me and I float on home. |

The 37 Days of Gusmas Title/Series: 'Tis the Season (A Thanksgiving Visit part VII) Author: BookGirl Prompt: 'Tis the season Note: Brian and Justin refused to work with me tonight. Brian kept going OOC and Justin was all whiny. I got this one little drabble out of them and then sent them off to bed without supper.
'Tis the season for drama, Justin thought with a sigh. He stared at Brian still staring off into the dark night. He yawned and padded quietly over to him. Justin placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and squeezed. Brian was like a scared animal when he was like this. One wrong move and he could go feral for days--drinking, tricking, and tripping out without coming up for air. That's not what Justin wanted with the two days he had left. Hand seemingly safe, he rested his chin on Brian's shoulder. “It's not that I don't want to.” He whispered. Brian just nodded. “I know.” |

The 37 Days Of Gusmas Title: Clemency Author: vl_redreignPrompt: Tis The Season Ted stepped into Cynthia’s office and closed the door. “Okay, what?” “I just…huh?” “You look…scared.” “I am. And you should be, too.” “I’ll bite. Why?” “Brian called, he’s on his way…from the airport.” “So… oh.” “Yeah. I’m going to warn the art department.” “Good idea.” She grabbed her coat. “Where are you going? “ “To purchase a stay of execution.” Brian slammed the door to his office, tossed his coat on the sofa, then yanked the door open again to yell at…someone. He was greeted by Cynthia, holding a grande quadruple shot mocha. The cup read, ’Tis the season’. “Thanks, Cynthia.” |

The 37 Days Of Gusmas Title: Oh, Sonnyboy Author: vl_redreignPrompt: Ski Jump Image Notes: This drabble got knocked up (Brian did it!) and refused to be contained in 100 words. So it's a double, but only part 2 counts. Thanks to xie_xie_xie for the beta, and for this wonderful drabble challenge. I can't remember the last time I looked forward to writing something. *hugs* I Brian watched as Gus latched onto Justin like a spider monkey. He was going to miss him. Both of them, actually. Justin moved on to Melanie and Lindsay, and Gus came to him. Brian picked him up, mindful that in another year or so, Gus would run before allowing himself to be held like a baby. Brian held him tight and inhaled his special little boy smell. “Dad, why are you sniffing me?” “I wasn’t sniffing you, I was inhaling so that I could do this,” he said, blowing a raspberry against Gus’s neck, sending his son into hysterical giggles. II “Dad, I know what I want for Christmas.” “Let’s see…a pony? No wait, a really cool car like mine.” “No! Wait, I can have a pony?” Brian could hear Justin chuckling close by. “I was just kidding. So, what would you like?” “My friend Charlie’s dad took him and his brother skiing for Thanksgiving. Can we go skiing?” “Well, that would depend on your moms.” “Can you ask them? Please, Dad??” “But what if your Mama beats me up?” “She’s just kidding when she says that.” Now Justin was laughing hard. “I’ll see what I can do, okay?” “Thanks, Dad!” |

The 37 Day of Gusmas Title/Series: Getaway (A Thanksgiving Visit VI) Author: BookGirl Prompt: Ski Jump Image Note: Quick, dirty and unbetaed. I apologize for any mistakes. Note II: Seven Spring is a ski resort near Pittsburgh. “What the hell is that?” Brian turned away from his computer screen to see Justin roll out of bed and walk down the stairs. “Ah Sunshine, you've emerged from your cyber shopping trip. Get any bargains? A bubble-butted nutcracker perhaps.” “Whatever. Someday people will tire of your extravagant gift cards to high-end boutiques and then you'll need me.” “Keep dreaming, Sonny Boy.” Justin looked back at the screen. “I ask again, what is that horrid picture?” “This is Seven Spring's latest ad campaign. At least they realize they need me.” “What is he wearing? Are they trying to repel skiers?” ( Parts II and III ) |
