Seasonal Suggestions

 

Valentine's Day
Two Guys and a Girl:    Pushing It
The boys look back on a disastrous Valentine's Day.


St. Patrick's Day
The X-Files:    The Wearing of the Green (A Silly "Green" Vignette)
Pendrell has a St. Patrick's Day surprise waiting for him.


Back to School
a Pike and Benny joint:    Up Against the Wall
Benny tries to avoid thinking during the night before the first day of school.


Halloween
The X-Files:    Fascination
Even in costume, it's come as you are....
Two Guys and a Girl:    The More Things Change
The story itself doesn't directly deal with Halloween, but the set-up is from the show's I-can't-believe-they're-doing-this genderfuck 1999 Halloween episode. Is it m/m, f/f, both, or what? As Berg in Sharon's body says in the episode, "You know, I just realized something. I have, like, the best costume ever!"
a Pike and Benny joint:    Carving
Pumpkin stealing, jack-o'-lantern carving, half-assed trick-or-treating, and smut. Your usual Halloween treats.


Christmas
The X-Files:    But Do You Recall...
Mulder gets an unusual Christmas gift. He's even gift-wrapped....
Te told me I'd own her if I followed through on this one. So I've been a proud owner ever since.
[1998 Whammy co-winner for Best Use of Props]
The X-Files:    Paradox and Paradox II: The Willing Victim
Mulder gets kidnapped, and its up to Krycek to save him.
By the way, the holiday display I mentioned in "Paradox II" changed a bit the next year. For Christmas 1999 the family put all the figures at the edge of the roof as if they were going to jump to their deaths.
The X-Files:    Treasures
Krycek gives Mulder a non-traditional gift. Just because you're a federal agent doesn't mean you can't be pretty under your shoes....
The X-Files:    Beggar's Ride
Somehow Krycek and Mulder get the gift of understanding. Watch what you wish for.
due South:    the Above All This Bustle series
No Such Thing as Santa
Ray uses mall Santas, pouchy pants, pasties, and comfort elves as a distraction from the real issue. In conversation, not in... you know.

A Poor Boy Too
Ray's still looking for a gift for his dad, while Fraser's looking for something else.

The Plans That We Made
Ray and Fraser have dinner, musicals, a discussion of our oppressed red-nosed reindeer brothers, and an exchange of Christmas gifts.
Two Guys and a Girl:    Comfort and Joy
Berg's been an unusually good boy this Christmas, and Pete wants to know why.
a Pike and Benny joint:    Christmas at Ground Zero

Sith Academy:    Home for the Holidays
