Queer as Folk Holiday Gift Exchange

Well, I guess I'll sign off for another year (unless a couple more missing fics roll in...)

Gifters are free to post their stories, etc to their own journals and other places around the interweb. If you crosspost your fic to AO3, there is a "community: qaf_giftxchnge" tag, plus there's also a 'collection' for it too (qaf_giftxchnge).

I hope everyone had fun creating and reaping the benefits of these creations! :D I did some begging and some arm twisting of people into agreeing to double duty (or more!) to get as many works as we did this exchange, so thank-you so much to everyone that was able to contribute to our little corner of fandom this year.

And now for a little poll (comments are screened if you want elaborate on any of the questions)

[Poll #1951977]


Thanks again to everyone for their participation!

TO: jule1122
FROM: sangwin
TITLE: New Year
GIFT REQUEST: Fic. Post-series. I would love a Ted/Blake fic showing how they finally make things work, but I would also enjoy an ensemble type story that they were part of as I adore all the characters. Of course, a good dose of Brian/Justin is always appreciated.

FROM: xheartrockx
TITLE: 500 Miles (1/2)
GIFT REQUEST: Fic - Post-513 - NC-17 is appreciated but not necessary. Brian and Justin are on a road trip. Why they are on the road, what they're doing and who else is involved or not, that's all up to you.
NOTE: First off, huge thanks go out to mander3_swish, not only for hosting these festivities but also for kicking me and my muse in the butt about this fic. It wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her. Unfortunately, it’s not here entirely yet and this is just part one of two. I hope to get the rest into a presentable form by the end of next week and post a link in the comments here. Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy what I came up with.
SUMMARY: Brian struggles with the long-distance relationship. So he does what he always does – he pretends not to care and throws himself into his work. At the launch party for Kinnetik NYC, he runs into Justin again. Both are invited to spend Christmas in Toronto. When a blizzard hits, they are forced to share a car. Could this be the perfect opportunity to deal with their troubles?
WORD COUNT: 3160

TO: selenebj
FROM: delvalmom
TITLE: Never Say Never
GIFT REQUEST: Future fic. Brian and Justin. Justin wants kids, Brian doesn't
NOTE: About 2,900 words. This may have come out a little fluffier than selenebj wanted, but in my head canon Justin wanting kids and Brian not, would never come between them for reals. I hope it satisfies, nonetheless.

TO: mander3_swish
FROM: lupin111
TITLE: Rome
GIFT REQUEST: Fic. AU, angst maybe?, lots of sexual tension/chemistry. tattoo artist Justin. Brian comes in for a back piece (or whatever)....could even be a giant set of wings ;) Why Brian is getting the tattoo is up to you. [I'd imagine he'd have to be there for multiple sittings]
NOTE: I hope this is close to what you wanted. I didn’t think it would be so hard to start writing again, but it was, and I struggled and missed about four deadlines. I hope the story is somewhere in the vague area of what you expected. If it is, I will do an angst-filled Part Two/extended epilogue. Merry Christmas, and I wish you all the very, very best for 2014. May it be full of wonder, joy and magic.
BETA: xrifree

NOTE: About 3,300 words. Jealous!Justin, post-513, angst - mentions of cancer. I hope everyone enjoys it. I hope you had very happy holidays!!
MOD NOTE: Dear Tita, You didn't ask for anything in return for gracing everyone with several new qaf videos this holiday season. While this doesn't feature a guest appearance by the always fabulous Adam Lambert, I hope you can accept this in thanks. So Thanks!

TITLE: Jericho
GIFT REQUEST: Video. anything but mpreg. Other Specifications: Brian and Justin, of course. And I'd love something to Rufus Wainwright's Jericho.
NOTE: Erm, I'm not sure if it's even possible to knock up Justin (or Brian) in a vid...oh WAIT!! Come to think of it, I think I just got an idea...naah, just kidding. LOLOL ;-) I really hope that you'll like what I created!

FROM: wren_kt7oz
TITLE: Kynergy
SUMMARY: The request was kind of long, but the gist of it was that Brian and Justin should be occasional fuck buddies and then Brian should realize he wants more when Justin decides to start dating because he’s now ready for a relationship.

I tried to write that. I really did. But the story just wouldn’t go that way. I battled with it for a week or so, and in the end it kind of wrote itself and this is how it came out. I hope you like it, honey, because I was so thrilled to be the one to present you with your "gift".

REQUEST: Fic. Hurt/Comfort and general Angst is fine, but with a Happy Ending. Post-Series. Brian/Justin-centric. Also wouldn't mind the inclusion of Daphne, Jennifer, and Gus. Any other series regulars are fine too.
