Somehow, Brian doesn’t hate it as much as he thinks he should.
Of course he doesn't ;) (Not that he would admit it out loud ;) )
Thank you so much for this extra special treat Wendy :) I KNOW how tempting it is to continue writing those festive B/J drabbles/one shots (ESP when the QaF extended family is quite a multi-cultutal one :) It's part of the fun of being a QaF writer
Yes, the QAF family is indeed a multi-cultural one, and all the better for that.
But of course the boys themselves are clearly from a well-established Christian tradition, even if they're not particularly religious, so Christmas stories are very canon-compliant I think.
And you're right, it is part of the fun of being a QAF writer.
Thank you. Yes ... it's funny, because while I actually kind of enjoy Brian's more acerbic side, there's no doubt that in his own way he's a very loving man.
We see that even from the first episode with his "Wendy" talk with Lindsay, and in the way he holds Gus and the "first night on earth" line.
It's that contrast that makes the character so completely real and, at least in my case, compulsively addictive.
Yes. Brian does love often or easily, and he has trouble expressing it in any of the conventional ways; but when he does love, he loves deeply, unselfishly, and, I suspect, forever.
That's the Brian I keep trying to find, to write about.

I do love doing drabbles.
I think it's the 100 word discipline that inspires me.
And I love teasing Brian. *g*

It's so much fun to play with.
