It's been a long time. Thanks to those of you who have sent emails, commented on old fics here or on LJ, or sent IJ nudges. And thanks for the recs at retread! All the kind words made me smile. I owe many replies and feel bad about not responding. I promise to fix this soon.

I probably shouldn't say this, but I've felt the urge to write recently. Not sure I still have the ability and energy, but the boys are nagging. If I do write, I will post the stories/drabbles here as well as on LJ.

Hope everyone is healthy and happy!

These drabbles were written for severina2001. Thanks to firehead30 for her beta of Respite (it happened so long ago, she may not even remember!).

( Diversion )

These five drabbles were inspired by a photo prompt courtesy of the Drabylon community. The timeline is 507-510. The title is from the poem, I Died for Beauty, by Emily Dickinson.

They're dedicated to youbetterwiseup. She knows why.


( And So, As Kinsmen Met A Night )

when you can have a shiny, new QaF pairing?

Here I was trying to figure out why Cynthia/Daphne work so well in gmta_nz's new series of drabbles, Not a Lesbian, But a Big Fan, when stephmck demystified it for me. She said she's never been able to picture the type of man Cynthia would go for, and I realized that neither have I. Add to that, one adventurous and enthusiastic Daphne Chanders, and you get a surprisingly sexy fit. I hope to see more of these two soon.

Title: Against All Odds, the Camping Trip is a Success
Author: Jude
Timeline: Future
Rating: R
Condom: Justin

( Against all odds, the camping trip is a success )

I've been wanting to write them as good angel/bad angel for a while now.

( Playing With Fire )

gmta_nz has written a beautifully nuanced Michael/Justin friendship fic. It's fueled and framed by death but you nearly forget to grieve because of the hope and healing in the end.

Read What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted here.

If you're a fan of the movie, The History Boys, and like me, were left wanting in the Dakin/Irwin department, then I have a treat for you!

The talented and generous mclachlan has written a fantastic fic featuring these two meant-to-be's. Read Underneath the Underneath here.

Thanks to Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, which I finished last week, and secretsolitaire's pom-pom waving, I was inspired to write some death of my own.

It is Brian/Justin and it is death.

gmta_nz wrote mine down.


Four Venetian Drabbles

A fluffy drabble written for LJ's recent Drabylon challenge.

( Deja Vu )

After four years of writing about the men, thanks to the On the Road prompt at qaf_drabbles, I was finally inspired to write about one of the women.

to all the amazing people who left me sparkly love at severina2001's Love Extravaganza. This doodle is my valentine to you and to everyone in the QaF fandom. ♥


( It's February 13th at five minutes before midnight, and Justin is suddenly thirsty for champagne )

This is dedicated to secretsolitaire who is going to Mississippi in the spring to help with hurricane rebuilding.

( Leaving Hazlehurst )

This fic was written for the lovely sra_black as part of the 2007 qaf_giftxchnge. She requested Brian/Justin.

Go join the community, if you haven't already, and read, watch and admire! There's lots and lots of shiny goodies.

( Geography for Beginners )

Mermaid!Brian and Seahorse!Justin have gone deep, but Seahorse!Justin convinced Mermaid!Brian to come up for air, for just a few seconds, to wish everyone a ( Happy Gaymas! )

( Or if you prefer, Pulsing Starfruit )


Inspired by court1429. She's evil.

( Ted and Lupe hear the news )

Inspired by demented_queen's recent Justin Challenge fic, Everyone Needs a Little Boost Sometimes. This one's for you, Maria!

( Marking His Thing )

Blame this one on LJ's url_girl who mused about Brian sliding across the floor ala Risky Business while wearing his bunny slippers.

(  She said, ''Just a blur of pink bunnies and an elephant in a dark forest of pubes! *whooooooosh!!!*'' )


And this rests solely on the shoulders of the crack-smoking denizens at qaf_crackfic.
