Sugar n Spice Christmas

Share a Gay Christmas.

Do you like your winter holiday fare sugary or spicy? If you like it both ways and are in the mood for gay male short stories that put in you in a holiday mood, habu has both sugar and spice for your pleasure in the form of two very different short stories to mark the season.

“Reluctant Homecoming” is a gay male romance of returning to Christmas roots, set in the American south. The story offers a bittersweet tale of hurt feelings, misunderstandings, and misconnections that are brought to a head and to promises of reconciliation when a young man returns to his family home after a separation of a decade. In a spicy and more raunchy change of mood, “Bought with a Tux” conjures up in habu’s mind Christmas of a long-past decade and life. This story zips out to Tokyo for a raucous Christmas, with a young American government employee on lonely temporary duty in Tokyo from Bangkok over the holidays being mistaken for a high-priced rent-boy—and deciding just to go with the flow.
