Fills (made as a reply to the original prompt) should use a header including:
  FILL - title, character/pairing, rating and warnings (if applicable), [Part # / #] (if applicable)

• (*Note that fanworks requiring more than one comment due to length should include the header in each new comment with the appropriate part number)


• (*If you need to post your fanwork in multiple parts, please make Part Two a comment to Part One, etc) [please note that you cannot have over 650 words in your comment.

ETA 1: While we love crossovers as much as the next fan, we would prefer if you kept your prompts strictly within the QAF 'verse and its characters for this particular fest. Considerations for crossovers will be made for future fests.

FILL – It’ll Be Okay. Jenny's first day of kindergarten, Rating: G

“Daddy.” She huffed out a huge sigh. Michael couldn’t help but look down at the little girl on the other end of his hand.

“JR.” He was trying to remain calm. But there was something so wrong with the idea that his little girl was starting kindergarten. He was more than happy the girls had come back to the States. But heart-breaking moments like this one made him think maybe it was easier, sometimes, when they were in another country. Then JR’s little hand squeezed his, and he knew he was wrong. Even the pain was better with them here. He smiled as he squatted down to her level.

“What’s wrong, princess?”

“I don’t wanna go.”

“Why not?”

“I want to say wif you ‘stead.”

“I’ll be here when you get out, and I’ll come pick you up. Promise.”

He glanced up at Mel, noticing she was fairing much better than he was, but even she looked choked up.

“But you’ll read the comics wifout me.” This seemed to genuinely concern her.

“I won’t. I promise. I’ll wait for you.” He forced a smile. “And there’s a new shipment in today! I’ll save them just for you.”

“But,” she pulled her hand out from Michael’s and crossed her arms in front of herself. “I still don’t wanna go.” She looked up at Mel. “Can you tell him I don’t hafta go?” Her eyes were pleading with her mother, silently.

Mel bent down next to Michael. “We talked about this. You have to go. And we will all be here when you get out.” She looked at her watch. She was going to have to push that meeting back. But she would be here.

Gus came flying out of the front door, his vintage Spiderman lunchbox Michael had given him for Christmas clutched in his hand. “Are we going or what?” He was grinning. “Do you think Dad will drive us? He said he would.”

Mel rolled her eyes as she stood up. “Gus, I think your father might have had a meet---“ She trailed off as Brian pulled up in his Stingray, her eyes rolling even harder than she knew was possible. “Of course.” She glanced over at Michael who shrugged.

Jenny’s bottom lip had made its way out and was quivering as Michael glanced back down at her. He held his arms out and she let herself be swept up in his hug for just a moment. Then her eyes focused on her big brother who was staring at her.

“Come on Jenny Rebecca.” He held his hand out. “It’ll be okay. We’re going to the same place.” Her eyes brightened up, and she used her hand to shove back from Michael.

“Okay!” She kissed Michael’s cheek softly and grabbed for Gus’ hand.

“Wait!” Michael and Mel both yelled. “You were going to ride with us?” Mel motioned towards the minivan.

“But Mooooooooooom,” She sighed. “Unca Brian’s car is way cooler. And it’s my first day.” Her tiny hands made their way to her hips.

Mel groaned. “Let me get the car seat for you, Brian."

Brian was torn between the utter horror of a car seat being put into his Corvette and the silent victory he had just won.

“You guys can follow behind us.” Brian smirked at Mel and Michael as he climbed into the car and shut the door. “Race you?”

JR and Gus erupted in yells of triumph while Mel and Michael both yelled out, “NO!”

Brian glanced in the backseat at both the kids in the rear view mirror. “Keep your hands inside the ride at all times and remember to tip your driver.”

Gus winked at JR. “Told you, it’ll be okay.”

She held her little hand out for Gus, who quickly grabbed it.

FILL - Hopeless, Brian/Justin, 5 years into their relationship, they finally have their first proper date, Warnings: mostly fluffy silliness...a bit of 'twist' on the prompt.

It was all a setup.

He should have known this was not Brian's doing. It was one thing for Brian to randomly buy him a house and propose marriage, but it was altogether another thing for him to actually plan a *cough* romantic *cough* date night.

The other day when he got home from the studio, he found a single yellow tulip on the kitchen table that had a note saying he should meet Brian at 7pm on Friday night at Crave. He knew Brian was in town for business, but so far they hadn't had a chance to connect.
---
"I'm so glad you picked my new favorite restaurant," Justin gushed after embracing Brian when he got to the table.

Brian quirked his eyebrow, a mildly confused look on his face, but then quickly schooled his features once he realized what might be going on. He wasn't sure if he should kill Daphne or buy her some expensive thank-you present. Really, it all depended on Justin's reaction when he found out the truth.

"Of course. Only the best for my Sunshine," he teased. "Look, I have to be honest. I didn't exactlyplan this date. We've been setup... by Daphne."

A thousand emotions rushed through Justin's mind: surprise, confusion, irritation, exasperation, relief, understanding, love... He reached across the table, holding onto to Brian's hand. "Thank you for being honest with me.

"Now, are you gonna help me get back at Daphne?" Justin wore a huge devious smile that Brian couldn't help grinning back at.

They schemed all through calamari appetizers and a bottle of red, but all they could come up with was making out and fucking all over the apartment while Daph was there or likely to catch them in the act. However, they didn't think that was very revengeful as she would probably end up enjoying it all a little too much.

"Shit. I think we're losing our touch." Brian lamented.

"Oh! Hey! I bet the best way to get back at her is to not say anything at all. She'll probably burst at the seams wanting to gloat about her awesome 'plan' for our date."

"Well aren't you just a clever devil."

Justin rolled his eyes. "And you're ridiculous. Let's just get dessert to go and we can get started on ignoring Daph while not sharing our cheesecake with her."

"You're having way too much fun with this now. Don't you think you owe her your debt of gratitude for finally getting a chance to go on a 'real' date with me. I'm quite the catch, I'll have you know."

"So what, now you're defending her? Betrayed by my best friend AND my boyfriend in the same night." Justin of course was only feigning the queen out, but it was fun joking around about it.

"Are you done?"

Justin nodded and Brian leaned in, kissing him deeply and hoping it would distract him enough to forget about Daphne's demise for a while.

A/N: The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine... so the sentiment works either way...
