308 – Anticipation
Brian looked at the clock; Justin would be there soon. He knew what Justin wanted, and now Justin knew he wanted it, too. He’d let Justin make his pitch, make sure Justin knew what Brian was prepared to give. Brian had known how this would end the moment Justin first showed up in his office, but he hadn’t made it easy. But today Justin had finally proved himself up to the task. The earlier kiss had erased the last of his doubts.
His cock stirred at the thought of having Justin back in his bed. Brian heard footsteps and smiled.
309 – Celebration
The lights flashed, the music throbbed, and Justin moved with him to the beat. Brian couldn’t take his hands off him; he held Justin’s hips, keeping him close. He felt Justin’s lips on his throat, felt his smile. They kissed, and for a moment the world faded.
Then the beat was back, grounding them, tying them together. Brian’s hands skimmed Justin’s back, coming to rest on his shoulders. Justin laughed and Brian felt his world light up, his joy contagious. They moved together, always touching, always connected.
They kissed again and confetti fell from the sky. The moment was theirs.
310 – Discovery
Fuck what you believe in.
The words echoed long after Justin left. Brian had known immediately that Justin was Emmett’s Gay Avenger. He’d also known he’d have to put a stop to it. But Justin wouldn’t stop; Brian knew that, too.
Justin was young. He still he believed good triumphed over evil if you fought hard enough. But Brian knew better. Brian believed in survival. It was every man for himself, and Brian would do what he had to, to stay on top.
Justin would figure that out eventually, but until then he would keep fighting, doing what Brian couldn’t.
311 – Revenge
Brian could talk himself out of almost any situation. Words were his business – but they weren’t enough to save his job. He could spin it a hundred ways and it still came back to the same thing: he was working against his own client. And he was a fag, too.
Stockwell had taken his job, and piece by piece he also was taking Liberty Avenue. If he had his way, there would be nothing left of Brian’s life. But Brian wasn’t going away without a fight. One swing of a hammer couldn’t fix everything. But it sure as fuck felt good.
312 – Patience
Brian ordered another drink and drummed his fingers on the bar. Justin placed a discreet hand over them.
“Come here often?” he purred.
“Justin,” Brian rolled his eyes and looked back at the door.
“You won’t miss him, but if you don’t entertain me and keep regular clientele at bay,” he eyed the men who had moved closer to their position. “You’re going to owe me 200 blowjobs.”
Brian leaned over and whispered in Justin’s ear, “When this is over I’m going to suck you dry then rim you until you’re hard again and fuck you until you see stars.”
313 – Desperation
Brian pulled Justin closer, laughing at the absurdity of it all. He had no job, no hope of defeating Stockwell, and now the art career Justin had fought so hard to salvage was gone. They were both well and truly fucked.
Justin signaled for another round, and Brian figured, why the hell not. They might as well keep drinking. They’d pay for it the morning, but it’s not like they had anywhere to be.
He raised his glass to Justin’s in a silent toast. They had nothing to celebrate, but somehow sitting here with Justin, that didn’t seem so bad.
314 – Relief
Justin dragged him into the street, into the heart of the celebration. Brian watched the people around them as they cheered, danced, and laughed. They’d won. Everything they’d sacrificed had paid off and led to this moment.
Brian didn’t quite feel part of it. Once Stockwell’s defeat had been announced, he’d felt relieved but drained. This victory had cost him everything. Justin laughed, catching his attention. Not everything, he remembered, wrapping his arms around Justin. He turned them both in a circle, taking it all in. This is what they had fought for. Brian kissed Justin, and let himself feel.
This is one of the more insane writing experiences I've had. Xie emailed me the last day of the challenge because she wasn't sure if she ahd a story for this banner and wondered if I would write something. In the end the very talentednot_yet_defined sent in a fabulous S3 AU, so make sure you read it.
I love late S3, andsra_black's banner really captured the emotion of those episodes. I didn't have time to write the type of story the banner deserved so I thought I'd try to write some drabbles that would focus on those emotions. Since I love all the episodes, I decided to do one for each episode in the arc. There were several problems with that idea. 308-314 doesn't seem like a lot of episodes until you try to write a self-contained drabble for each one. I quickly realized I needed to watch key scenes in this episodes which cut way into my writing time in addition to many RL interruptions. I also forgot that drabbles are very hard to write.
I ended up finishing the last drabble about 5 minutes before I had to leave. I then sent them to poor Xie in a drama queen email with no header as I ran out the door. She became my beta by default, and I am very grateful she handled my freak out so sweetly.
