OK, so I'm about to do something I usually avoid. I have a series of drabbles which add up to create a gapfiller--specifically, "How did Justin get Brian to take him home in Episode 107? (The infamous "pierced nipple" episode.) I usually avoid linked drabbles because if you can't tell it in just one drabble, you're probably cheating and writing a ficlet instead of a drabble.

So, I'm cheating. HOWEVER, I did make a sincere effort to make each drabble stand completely alone. Yes, they do add up to tell a story, but I hope you'll agree with me that each one tells a story of its own. (And each one is exactly 100 words!)

All of these were written for Written for QaF Drabbles. The prompt was to set the drabble at Woody's.

I wrote a drabble for qaf_drabbles, and I thought I'd post it here too.


Title: Just Shoes
Author: mysid
Timline: post-the post-513 reunion
Prompt: leather


Justin carefully held the palette far enough to one side that he wouldn't get paint either on himself or on Brian while they kissed hello. He didn't account for the palette knife slipping off and hitting the floor with a clatter.

"Oh shit! I'm really sorry," Justin said as he dropped down on one knee to wipe the spatter of bright blue off Brian's Prada loafers. The paint wiped off the highly polished leather with ease, but the stitching threatened to become a permanent cerulean accent.

"Don't worry about it. They're just shoes. But as long as you're down there…."

Caffeine of Choice

James and Peter were traditionalists. They liked their caffeine in the form of tea, thank you very much. Although James would occasionally add lemon and honey, Peter firmly preferred milk and sugar.

Sirius's new favourite was coffee. He said that tea was for society matrons, offered primarily so they could show off their family china and monogrammed silver. Coffee was for the young and rebellious, like the disillusioned American expatriates in a Muggle novel he'd read. (Remus suspected that Sirius simply enjoyed ordering it "strong, hot, and Black.")

Remus allowed his friends to argue while he savoured his hot chocolate.

I'm a contrary creature. Give me a prompt that calls out for angst, and I just might go for comedy. Written for sirius_remus100.

The sirius_remus100 is celebrating Valentine's Day with the prompt "Valentine's." I decided to let James play Cupid for the puppies.

I love the way that reading fics often inspires other fics. Two of you (I'll explain at the end) inspired this:

I decided to combat my writer's block by responding to a prompt over at sirius_remus100.

It's a tame little drabble, and you can read it here.
