Title: First snow
Author: Xie
Prompt: First snow
Justin felt Brian lying against his back. There was just enough light that he could see snow falling outside their bedroom window, sugaring down onto the bare branches of the trees.
"The first snow," he murmured to Brian, then drifted back to sleep.
Then he woke up. He lay there for a long time, his eyes closed, but the dream was gone.
The floor felt cold as he walked to the window. There was a tree between his apartment building and the one next door; its leafless branches traced dark lines against the other building's brick wall.
It wasn't snowing.

Title/Series: Cyber Monday! (A Thanksgiving Visit, part V)
Author: BookGirl
Prompt: Bah Humbug
Brian woke up to the sound of typing. A one-eyed squint revealed a naked blond snuggling with his laptop. “What in the hell are you doing?” He asked roughly, “It's 4 AM.”
“It's Cyber Monday!” Justin whispered excitedly.
Brian furrowed his brow, or at least tried to. It was a little early for facial expressions. “Unless that has something to do with porn, you and the laptop need to get out of my bed.”
“You always say Christmas is really all about commercialism, I'm just trying to prove you right.”
“Well Bah Humbug,then.” Brian muttered, slapping the laptop closed and diving on Justin.

Title: Old Friends
Author: vl_redreign
Prompt: Bah!Humbug!
Notes: Same timeline, shift in POV. And mention of an old, much missed friend. This thing took off on me, and I had to cut out almost 40 words. So, unbeta'd.
Lindsay stood at the backdoor and stripped each child, wrapping them in terry robes and leading them to the kitchen table, where hot chocolate awaited.
Marie entered, carrying her youngest, followed by Mel.
“I’m so glad you guys are here,” she said. “Dusty loved the holidays.”
“Do you remember that year when she and I were insane enough to do the Black Friday sales?”
Marie laughed. “That was a nightmare!”
“I told her she was nuts to go,” Mel added.
“I miss her still,” Linds said softly.
“Well, she’d want us to enjoy ourselves. No ‘bah humbugs’ in this house.”

It's like I forgot how to multi-task. LOL
I'm rushing around trying to get ready for my vacation (I leave on Sunday). Eventually, I'll be at this fabulous spa for a few days before heading to my sister's.
I CANNOT WAIT.
However, before I can go, I have so much to do. All the presents have to be wrapped and packed for them for xmas and my nephew's first birthday. I have to get the pet sitter in here so I can show her what she needs to do with Champ.
I have to finish laundry, pack, finish decorating the house for the holidays (so it's all done when I get home) and somewhere in all that, I MUST get my hair done. Oh and did I mention that I have to work too?
So, instead of focusing on all of this, I ordered myself a bday present, the BLACKBERRY CURVE 8330 and I got it in red...to match my car. ROFL. I'm just kidding, it was either that or orange and since I'm a diva, I went with red.
WOOHOO my enhanced license came so I can easily cross the border into Canada and back, so it's official, I've got all I need for the trip.

Title: Thankful
Prompt: Thanksgiving Day
Notes: I know I'm being glib about Thanksgiving, but it's a very Australian trait, so plze forgive! Tweaked very slightly from the original posted at ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) qaf_drabbles for the 37 Days of Gusmas drabble challenge. There's lots of good stuff going on over there. Check it out!

“Happy Thanksgiving!”
“Hey, Sunshine. You too. Or was that yesterday for you?”
“It would have been, but Australians know nothing about Thanksgiving, and care even less. Besides, it’s too damn hot here for turkey.”
“Poor Justin. Suffering for your art.”
I snort. “Shut up. I know I shouldn’t complain; the weather's great and I’ve sold three pieces already. I just wish I was there.”
“No worries, mate!” Brian says in a god-awful Australian accent. “I’ll stuff your turkey when you get back.”
I laugh. “Maybe I’ll stuff yours too.”
He lowers his voice. “Well, there’s something to be thankful for.”

Notes: Of course, Brian is the cynic in this drabble.
I also wanted to post a B/J ice skating story, but it's not working out. Can I pimp my need for a beta here?

Title: Where It’s Snowing
Author: noteverything
Prompt: First Snow
Notes: Unbeta’d...all mistakes are mine. This is for the amazing fun_demented, for more reasons than I could ever say. &hearts
I took the idea from a drabble I wrote last year for the 100 drabbles jule1122 and I did for the 100th prompt in qaf_drabbles. Sort of a prequel, if you will.
“George! You have to come see!” Emmett’s voice rang through the room as he hurried in to rouse George from his easy chair near the roaring fire. “First snow of the season!”
Emmett, dressed all in white right down to his fur-topped boots, was grinning from ear to ear as he handed George his coat and mittens. “It’s so beautiful,” Emmett exclaimed.
George let himself be pulled out into the yard and spent the rest of the afternoon with the love he never thought he’d find, building a snowman with a red scarf and a pickle for a nose.

Title/Series: Missing You (A Thanksgiving Visit, part IV)
Author: BookGirl
Prompt: Holidays on Ice
Note: Quick, dirty and unbetaed. I apologize for any mistakes.
“How is it possible you've been here for 8 hours and my dick has yet to make contact with your ass?” Brian asked sliding the loft door closed behind them.
“Poor baby, next time I'll just let you fuck me right on the table. We can use the gravy as lube. I'm sure Deb won't mind a bit”
“She's seen worse I'm sure. Someone need a drink.”
“What I need is you naked, but I'll settle for a Christmas Ale.”
Brian snorted. “Christmas Ale are you kidding me?”
“Yeah, it's like the holidays on Ice.”

Title: Ungraceful Under Pressure
Author: vl_redreign
Prompt: Holidays On Ice
Notes: frantic_quest gave me the idea for this one. I couldn't resist.
Gus and JR ran around the outskirts of the pond, laughing. Michael alternately pelted them with snow, and watched the spectacle before him.
On the pond, revelations were being discussed.
“Okay, explain to me how you’re so good at ice skating?” Justin huffed.
“Ice hockey. Best way to get back at the jocks in school,” Brian replied. “What I don’t get is, how the country club brat isn’t good at ice skating. Don’t they give you private lessons or something?”
“Or something. Good thing my ass is bouncy. Came in handy a lot.”
“So that’s how it got so big!”

| Oy Vey, I need Jewish icons! |
[29 Nov 2009|10:30am] |
Hi everyone!
I just realized I have almost no Jewish icons! which would have been just fine if I wasn't Jewish, but I am, and therefore must have more jewish icons!
I was hoping maybe someone would be willing to make me some icons with Jewish references, like when Mel says "that's right, blame the Jew" or maybe some with Ted in the Gay-Jewish-bar night party or whatever it was in season 5... if you need more, I can give them to you on the comments.
Thanks in advance!

Title: First Snow...or Not (A Thanksgiving Visit part III)
Author: BookGirl
Prompt: First Snow
“Hey kids, look! The first snowfall of the year!” Michael gestured excitedly at the window.
“It already snowed lots in Canada, Uncle Michael.” Gus announced, clearly unimpressed.
Justin smirked. “In New York too.”
“Really?” Gus asked, staring up at Justin.
“Yep.” Justin smiled and scooped Gus up in his arms. He drew snowflakes on the frosted glass as he spoke. “In fact I bet it starts in Canada and then sweeps down to New York. It's like we're sharing the same snow.”
“Cool! Is that why you and Dad were so late for dinner? Because of our snow?”

Title: Irreconcilable Differences
Author: vl_redreign
Prompt: First Snow
Notes: So far these are falling in chronological order. Not sure if that will continue. We'll see! Oh, and no beta, so this is entirely my fault.
Brian rolled over and landed in a cold spot. He opened his eyes and stared at the place where Justin’s warm ass should have been.
He shoved his hair out of his eyes, grumbling. First, Justin slipped into a tryptophan-induced coma. Then, Brian had to wake him to punish him severely for his lack of decorum.
Well, that depended on one’s definition of punishment.
And now he was gone.
“Hey.”
“Where the hell were you?”
“Calling Mel and Linds, and Michael.”
“Why?”
“First snowfall. We’re taking Gus and JR to the park.”
Maybe he could bury Justin in a snowbank…
