Why This Must Be Read: A charming Christmas story of John and Rodney visiting the Millers, just when Jennifer's breaking up with Rodney and DADT's being overturned. John might even make a move if he can ever get free from playing a plastic guitar in Madison's Lego Rock Band game. Excellent snark and (of course) a happy ending.
"Sit," said Rodney, pointing toward the living room. "I'll make eggnog."
John sat on the sofa, a little dubious; there was eggnog already in the fridge, so "making" it just meant mixing in the brandy. Sure enough, when Rodney handed him a cup, John barely tasted it before his tongue went numb. "Jesus, Rodney," he said, "I could light this on fire!"
Right on cue, Rodney's chin went up, but he seemed almost to remind himself to relax; he smiled a little, nervous but real, and clinked his glass against John's. "We'll be back on duty before you know it. Might as well seize the day."
"This smells like about three days' worth of seizing," John said, but he drank. After the first bracing hit, it tasted all right.
