“Can you really think of a reason that Peter would suddenly turn on how he feels about you?” Justin asked, trying to begin the conversation pragmatically. “He knows how your sister is, and she knows, at least to some extent, that the two of you are acquainted now. Don’t you think she’d have tried every weapon she had if she was running a smear campaign against you?”

“I don’t know,” Brian said tiredly, rubbing his eyes. “I wouldn’t put anything past her.” 

--

When Brian's nephew Peter and his girlfriend Alexis come to spend Christmas in New York, things are off to a great start -- until they're not. Soon, it becomes apparent to everyone that old Kinney family scars run deep.

Brian and Justin are spending Christmas brunch at Mother Taylor's. Brian finds himself being the wingman when Justin finds out about Jennifer's recent engagement with Tucker.

Justin and Brian surprise the family with big news on Christmas Eve.

Happy Holidays everyone.  I have an early Christmas gift for you, and I hope you will enjoy it.  This story is set a little over ten years after Justin headed off for New York City, leaving Pittsburgh behind.  It seems that his plan didn't last long, and a decade later he is happily married to Brian.  The only fly in the ointment of their happiness is how much Brian misses seeing his son, Gus far more often than the occasional visits back and forth to Canada.  Justin's dearest wish is to arrange for Brian to receive the best Christmas gift ever, and he is willing to do whatever he can to make that happen.  

I apologize for the delay in getting my holiday story to you, but I hope you will still enjoy it.  It seems that Brian has a problem being around for Justin whenever a big holiday comes up.  They've been living together for several years, and this year is the straw that broke the camel's back.  Brian again misses every holiday for the last few months of the year, so Justin decides it is time to do something about it.  

Many thanks to my wonderful beta, Judy, for her skills, and my dear Granddaughter, Marika, for the lovely banner.

Written for the qaf_giftxhchnge 2018 on LJ.

The request was from sfscarlet and was for:
Fic angst, AU, canon-compliant, hurt/comfort, humor Brian/ Justin- / Gus- Gus is an adult- time could be holiday or family reunion or just visiting B/J- writer's choice. Gus reminiscing about growing up with B/J- Funny stories, harrowing tales, first times, tales about trips they made- anything the writer chooses. Would love at least 2-3 stories ( tales) that Gus shares. B/J could disagree with his memories and they could tell their version- if writer chooses. ( not necessary- just choice of writer)

This is the result. It's set in 2029. I think of this as being loosely Homecoming future, but all that anyone needs to know is that Brian and Justin have been living together in Pittsburgh in a riverside house since Justin's return from New York. Justin and Daphne have a daughter – Dani. Brian, Justin, and Daphne are co-parents, an arrangement which works well for them all. Dani is 16, Gus is 29.


WARNING:A little snarky about Mikey and the Munchers.

*FEATURED STORY FOR DECEMBER 2018*

One revolutionary Christmas Justin's entire world falls apart; and even though he doesn’t realize it, he stops living. As the next Christmas approaches and introduces an equally damaged man; together, will they learn that living is better than just existing?

Beta: Karen, Banner: Nickie

It's Christmas, and Brian and Justin have very different views about their Christmas Tree.

Another little Christmas offering, written while I've been travelling. It's unbeta'd and I haven't even really done a full read through but hopefully there aren't too many errors.

It's set in the Homecoming!future 'verse. Gus is thirteen and Dani is just a few weeks old.

Anyway, here it is.

Gift Request: Brian/Justin gets custody of Gus, don't particularly care how. If you want to go the Lesbian!hate route, that's fine by me.
Summary: Post S5 in an AU where there is no JR (just purely because it simplified the plot). Something has happened in Toronto and Brian gets a phone call that sends him into action.

Justin and a reluctant Brian celebrate the holidays; Brian makes a surprising decision.

Post-514. Brian and Justin are living together at Britin. Brian recieves some unsettling news. 

Smut-mas challenge: Twenty-five prompts for twenty-five days; Spend Christmas at Britin with the boys.

It’s post S5 and the boys have not longed moved into Britin. Brian is away on a business trip just before Christmas, and strange things start happening.

Written in 2007 and set loosely in the Homecoming universe but can be read as a stand alone.  The boys are in the new house and Christmas is coming.

A kinda cutesy Gus fic. If you're looking for grittiness and angst, look elsewhere. Gus wants to see Santa.  He's relying on Dadda and Dus to make that happen.

Christmas, three ghosts - you know the deal.  Except this time it's Justin, not Brian, who receives the visitations.

Summary: Set in an AU in which, after the Babylon bombing, everything goes pretty much back to normal. Mel and Linds re-unite, as, of course, do Brian and Justin, but there’s no running off to Canada, no wedding plans, no bizarro exit for Justin to New York.

When Brian winds up being away from home just before Christmas, he finds out what is most important. Christmas one-shot based on Parent Trap 'verse.
