How did it get to be December already?

FYI, end-of-year holidays are pretty much my least favorite holidays (other than Valentine's Day). I hate the pressure of gift-giving, and while I appreciate the time off and love to see family, travel around Xmas and NYE is a hassle, especially when my relatives and in-laws live on opposite sides of the country, and both request our presence.

I need to be poked into the card-writing and gift-giving spirit.

So. Prompt me?

Any fandom I've ever written or plotted in (HP, SPN, SPN RPF, bandom, hockey RPF, Criminal Minds, House, GK) or even ones based on a show I've watched but not written in - see my 2010 summary post for shows I've been following. Fandom, character/pairing, one phrase or up to three words, song, picture, or other inspiration.

Guh. So many things I could ask for.

Brad/Nate, surprise. :D

Brad spent half of his life with Jess. He knew all her quirks and foibles, the best way to wake her up in the morning, the things to avoid if he didn't want a fight of epic proportions, where to stroke to soothe or comfort her.

Of course he'd been in love with her. They were a couple for close to ten years, how could he not be? Surely he knows himself well enough to recognize that emotion.

But when Nate strolls through the arrivals gate at Gatwick, Brad’s heart thuds and his stomach unknots for the first time in six months, and he stands there, wide-eyed and stunned, as Nate approaches.

He should have known, it shouldn’t be news to him, but it’s only just now sinking in.

Oh. So spare and sweet.

Less is always more when I'm writing. :) That's my excuse, anyway, since sometimes getting the words out is like pulling teeth.

Oh! Love this.

I love that light-bulb moment of realization perhaps a bit too much, but there's a part of me that imagines Brad thinking this whole thing with Nate is casual, that he's not ready for anything serious, might never be again, until *bam* he realizes that it was serious all along.
