I never wrote fan fiction before, but I got the urge frequently during the run of The Righteous Gemstones, to "fix" terrible plotlines, expand upon minor characters, and respond to the incessant "that doesn't make Kelvin gay" fan complaints. There are 25 on Archive of Our Own, but I've only reposted 18 here:
Before Season 1
How do I Know If I'm G...: Pontius pressures his older brother, 16-year old Gideon, into coming to his sleepover. He invites the "juvenile delinquent" Manny, gets his first kiss, and wonders if he is g___.
During/After Season 1
Kelvin and Keefe under the Christmas tree. After the events of Season 1, everyone thinks that Kelvin and Keefe are boyfriends -- except for Kelvin.
During/After Season 2
During/After Season 3
Bondage doesn't solve everything. There were several hints in Episodes 1-2 that Kelvin and Keefe were into BDSM, so I wrote a story where they guys break up during a BDSM scene, then reconcile when Kelvin arranges for Keefe to get a job as manager of the Gemstone Health Club.
Kelvin's Rebound Date with Percy. Percy appears in just one scene, as an interior designer working on the church board room. In this story, Kelvin is distraught after the Episode 3.4 breakup, and his siblings suggest that he move on...with a date with Percy.
Gideon Moves out of the Friend Zone. After the Episode 3,4 breakup, Gideon gets the nerve to ask Keefe out. They have a hookup, but is that enough to move out of the friend zone?
The Kiss Heard 'Round the World. The day of the Episode 3.8 Kelvin/Keefe kiss, seen through the eyes of Amber, Gideon, Eli, Judy, Keefe, and Jesse.
More after the break
Kelvin and Keefe, Matchmakers. Cousin Karl has just come out, and wants a boyfriend, so Kelvin and Keefe ask their friend Percy to help them find a suitable candidate.
A Perfect Southern Gentleman, Part 1. Cousin Karl has been dating Percy for three weeks, and is ready for "bedroom things." This story is divided into two parts.
A Perfect Southern Gentleman, Part 2: The KOKK House
Montgomery Boys Manscaping: "If you've got a dick, we're on it." This got me banned from Tumblr: they thought it was a real ad.
During/After Season 4
Gideon Gemstone and the Return of Scotty Steele. After his terrible sermon/college lecture, Gideon asks for help from former theology major Clay Chang. And he meets his ex, Scotty, now working on Baby Billy's Teenjus tv series.
Pontius Gemstone and the Boy Named Stacy. I was upset over the murder of Gator Farm employee Stacy in Episode 4.8, so I wrote a story where Stacy survives, and starts dating Pontius.
"Dad Can't Know I'm Gay". Abraham, Jesse's youngest son, had only a few queer codes, but no expressions of heterosexual interest, so I thought it would be fun to make him gay, and give him a romance with Pontius's skating buddy Ash.
"My Three Gay Sons and...ugh...Vance Simkins". Jesse already knew that Pontius was gay or bi, but when he visits Kelvin and Keefe's Queer Youth Night, he discovers that Gideon and Abraham are gay, too. Also his arch-nemesis Vance Simkins picks up Cousin Karl.
Pontius Gemstone, the Boy Named Stacy, and the Erotic Alphabet. About six months after the events of Season 4, Stacy and Pontius go through the erotic alphabet, and Pontius finally uses the L-word.
Gideon Gemstone's Secret Life, Part 1. About a year after the events of Season 4, Jimmy Olsen visits the Gemstones at the Lake House to do a human-interest piece for The Daily Planet. His superpower: everyone who sees him falls in love with him. Except Gideon.
Gideon Gemstone's Secret Life, Part 2: Keefe singing, Jimmy twerking, and Gideon in his underwear
