Christmas fic: Canes and Planes and Christmas Pains

[wren_kt7oz]

This is the first of the Christmas fics I wrote for qaf-giftxchnge.

The request was for:

Fic. Fluff/ schmoop, angst, AU, hurt/comfort, Brian/ Justin or Brian/ Justin + Gus family times
I love Hurt!Justin with comforting Brian. I love feuding with lesbians about Gus. I love Justin being disappointed, but Brian coming through in the end..

Wonderfully written. I just wanted to smack the girls.

Thank you. I spent a good chunk of the show wanting to smack the girls, so that sounds about right to me. *g*

I am not sure if I made comment before with this fic but I will say it again you are an amazing writer who totally nails these characters. Any story that features some anti Michael  Lindsay  Deb so works for me so this was awesome.  I loved Justins POV and I guess because you have met Randy several times now it must help you add some more characterization to your Justins. I loved how Mr Control freak just had enough and decided to stand his ground with Lindsay and Mel because he wanted his family Justin and Gus with him on a day that they love. Brian may have never liked Christmas before but Justin and Gus changed that for him and he is learning to understand the attraction with them. Brian will always get antsy with too much family or too much as he sees it hetro bullshit but he will suck it up for Gus and Justin.

Thanks, Chris. That's a very kind and thoughtful comment.

I think that having been lucky enough to have spent at least a little time with Randy over the past few years has helped me "hear" and "see" an adult Justin in the physical sense. I can "hear" Justin's grown up voice, a little deeper, a little more resonant than his younger self. And have a sense of the more pronounced physicality of his adult body. That sort of stuff.

I hadn't thought about that before, but it's probably true.

Lucky me.

That was fantastic! Love that Brian surprised Justin by being there for Christmas dinner and bringing Gus.

Thank you. I figure Brian, bless his little control freak heart, would find it hard to leave Justin when he was still limping around (who would make sure he used the cane?). So this, for him, is the perfect solution.
