In the town of Modest, it was ten thirty in the morning. The toilet paper factory the town’s economy rested upon was up and running, steam billowing from tall towers rising high above the entire town.*

Spencer and Ryan looked at each other for a moment, and Ryan nodded. (It’s always Ryan’s call; everything about the project has to go through Ryan first because at this point, Ryan basically is the project. His entire life has been leading up to this, he thinks. This is his life.)*
When you work in retail in a quiet shopping center, there’s not a whole lot to do except gossip and fall in love. Luckily, the latter provides the former, especially when there’s a love hexagon involved.*
Rodney was like a planet, he drew people into his orbit; graduate students, students, colleagues; and spat them out again, often dazed, usually bitter, but always better scientists for it.*
Sometimes things just happen.* To find this eries, go to the HP section and scroll about halfway down the page.
Frannie’s got a romance novel with a big strapping Mountie on the cover, shirt hanging open, hair blowing in the wind, you know the kind.*
There are a lot of things John hates about his job. He hates the Wraith. He hates the Replicators. He hates losing people. He hates it when villagers who have only just worked their way up to inventing gunpowder shoot at his team. He hates turning into a giant scaly insect. (It hasn’t happened again–yet–but John is nothing if not a pessimist when it comes to turning into giant scaly insects.) But most of all, John hates debriefing Major Bryar’s gate team.*
Ryan has very rarely been content with his life. He’s been happy and he’s been morose and he’s been everything in between, but he’s always strived for something more. It’s never really been enough.*
Neither Brendon or Spencer are answering his calls, and it’s frustrating. Because Ryan knows their house will be toasty warm, and he wants in.* Follows Talks Like a Gentleman.
This is a story about something that could maybe happen to Frank Iero after his band breaks up.*

Bob feels more like himself on Friday, so of course that’s when Ross sets his room on fire.*
“Are we together?” asks Patrick and what Pete hates most about him is how hesitant he sounds. “It looked. I mean. I thought we might be.”*
Patrick stood clutching his guitar-case and duffle-bag, gazing blankly at the buildings trying to hide among the trees. Typical summer camp at its campiest, just like he always saw on TV; he made a face, turning to look at his mother’s worried expression.*
Patrick was tired; that kind of tired where you just stand around stupidly, blinking at the tiny room with its tinier beds, while your band-mates staggered about, throwing down their bags and rooting around for toothbrushes and maybe a change of clothes. Or in Pete’s case, actual underwear he’d put on because he was going commando under his tight jeans at that very moment.*
Once upon a time, in the middle of the night when the band had a rare night off on the road, Joe said, “Patrick. You gotta come over here.”*
Brendon turns into a koala while on tour in Australia. Really. There’s not much else I can say after that.*
Sometimes your suddenly sentient action figures need to teach you valuable life lessons. Just saying.*
Some people are really good liars. Some people can lie like breathing, they can look you straight in the face and sell you on a green sky and a moon made of cheese and send you away happy.*
Pete’s doorbell rings at 5:26 p.m. on his thirtieth birthday, roughly four hours before any of his friends are supposed to show up to help him get blitzed out of his mind. Pete is far from opposed to pre-gaming, but four hours is kind of pushing it. Like, even Joe’s not there yet.*
“Dude,” Pete says, dropping down onto the lounge couch next to Patrick. “Dude, did you know we’re playing a bar show in Billings?”*
Spencer couldn’t remember when they’d had the baby discussion. If he had to guess he’d say it must’ve happened some time after Brendon packed up his Chicago apartment and moved to Vegas to live with Spencer. They went through a whole laundry list of discussions that weekend though, ranging from how Brendon liked cold showers in the summer, to how Spencer really hated lukewarm soda.* Pseudo sequel to Shattered Glass and Sounding Drums.
One of Mikey’s wacky inventions gets used by accident. Mayhem and toddlers ensue.* Sequel to the Negotiation Limerick File.
Five years after the end of Omiai, Clark and Lex host their first Christmas in their new house.* Sequel to Omiai and The Oak Tree and the Cypress.

Preseries, Weechester!Fic. A bath time discussion with Sammy makes Dean realize that perhaps life isn’t so bad afterall.*
SGC finally stops calling him by December. Rodney celebrates by writing a final exam for his relativity class so difficult that it reduces four students to tears in the exam hall. Upon reflection, he decides to be merciful and offer partial credit.*
Jim Ellison goes undercover to try to find the runaway paramour, and son, of a crime boss. He’s about to face his toughest challenge yet — riding herd on a class of six-year-olds — and possibly finding the love of his life.*
“General O’Neill never said anything about mad Czech scientists blowing up stills,” he said conversationally. This is easily the funniest thing ever. This always makes me feel better.*
“This,” Rodney said with a finger-pokey gesture and a sneer mostly hidden in the depths of his parka, “is all your fault.”*
Spencer’s day started with high-pitched screaming, and went downhill from there.*
The cat tipped its head back and looked up. “Sam, is that you?” There was a moment, and then the cat nodded slowly, up and down. A clear gesture, “Sam, you cut that out right now. It’s not funny.”*
He was an intelligent, intuitive pet, but he wasn’t going to start sniffing out ZPMs or hidden Ancient weaponry or detailed instructions on how to kill a Wraith with a common household item. A pen, for instance.*
Don’t be sily, John says. You’re Bob and I’m Bing; now get in the car and let’s go find ourselves a Dorothy.*
“But… but why would Canada need spies? It’s one of our major allies,” John insisted. “It- you haven’t even fully broken ties with Britain, you’re hardly a major player in international politics, your army is like, three mounties and a wolf…”*
In which Radek Zalenka tackles crises, both immediate and at one remove.*
When the Princess of Belleville enters the rooms meant as workplaces for the Prince of Belleville, he finds his husband — likely one of the strongest sorcerers in the land, the second (or third, depending on who you ask) most powerful man in the kingdom, and heir to a crown dating back thousands of years — poking his finger delightedly into a hole in the wall.*
They get stuck in fucked up situations all the time. Second in the Ordeals Verse.
Gerard has decided that Frank deserves a circus. Everybody, including all of FOB and PATD, get involved.*
It was the best game William had ever conceived, and to be sure, William had conceived of many good games. But Steal-Everyone’s-Phones-And-Make-Inappropriate-Calls Game was both a great time waster and a time of wasted greatness. Oh yes.*
Brendon shifts his weight from foot to foot, and tries to keep his expression casually disinterested as he scans the bulletin board outside of the student activities office.*
They have nowhere special to go, no larger plan; Dean hangs the Impala’s tires along the West Coast for a while, skirting California. Sam thinks it might mean something in that weird language Dean speaks: his brother’s never managed to communicate in something as tiny as words. Dean would never just ask Sam if he wanted to go back to college; so instead he burns several tanks worth of gas winding along the edges of Cali.*
A fic containing Jensen, Jared, Castle Anthrax, and a spanking.*
Okay, so you know that story going around about Sandy’s roommate talking about how cute and funny Jared is and how they get him to change lightbulbs for them?*
The thing is, if they’d wanted him to actually pay attention to the interview, they shouldn’t have sat him next to the lady with the polar bear cub.*
Frank the lonely barista and Gerard the loyal consumer/art student. Guest appearances by Patrick the shift supervisor and Brendon the romantic.*
The first year they’d been together, Bob had called Spencer on Easter and said, “Happy Easter?” because he wasn’t really clear on exactly what Spencer’s brand of Christianity was. It didn’t seem to involve as much bitterness as Ryan’s, nor as much angst as Brendon’s, but it wasn’t exactly as lackadaisical as Jon’s, either, from what Bob could tell.*
Ray is still looking for a gift for his dad while Fraser is looking for something else.* Sequel to No Such Thing As Santa.
If I hear ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ one more time, I will not be responsible for my actions.*
Sometimes when Pete needs to get out of his head for a while he goes over to the track. Not to ride, because when he’s in a mood like this even the things he loves bore him. Just to sit in the grass and mope.*
Brendon doesn’t know what wakes him up. The bus is still moving and it looks dark beyond the two inch gap left between his curtain and the wall. But something woke him up, so he lays still and listens. He can just hear the tinny sound of Jon’s ipod above him, and Ryan’s rustling around in his bunk. He hears a high-pitched squeak, a low laugh, and then “shhh.” Oh, right, Keltie’s with them.*
Mike answers on the second ring with “What the Hell?” and Kevin knows he’s getting off easy.*
“Wait, you’re the psychic?” isn’t the best first impression Gabe has ever made.* In the Behind the Sea verse.
It begins with Spencer sitting in his boxers and an old t-shirt in their kitchen, drinking a cup of coffee and frowning over some paperwork. “Fucking math,” he grouses, tapping one bare foot against the floorboards. Brendon is pretty fond of their floorboards; he’s not a crazy interior decorator, like some people, but he likes to think he has a certain touch.*
Brendon’s more of an in-your-face naked guy, while Mike’s nakedness sneaks up on you out of nowhere. It’s like Kevin doesn’t realize Mike isn’t wearing pants until he realizes Mike *isn’t wearing pants.*
William is not entirely certain how this happened, how he became a veritable magnet for downtrodden orphans, but he’s going to blame John.*
“Notice how the skinny tie makes him look less like he’s carrying shrunken baby heads around in his pockets.”* Follows Dancing Goes All Night.
Spencer glares at Ryan, who is slowly turning purple and clutching the table to hold himself up, his body shaking with laughter, and decides that he really, really needs a new best friend.*
Sam ran away from everything life as a Winchester promised, trying to find his place in the world. But when Dean showed up at his door, needing a place to stay, he realized that without Dean, no place was home.*
Heero Yuy’s mission planner: Date AC199. Mission objective: Finding compatible mates for Gundam Pilots 2, 3, 4, and 5. Timeframe: undefined. Difficulty: Moderate, despite lack of personal information on the subject of romantic affection. How hard can it be to get people to fall in love?*
A series of one-shots in response to the 5 Things That Never Happened challenge. Each chapter covers something that didn’t happen between Booth and Brennan, but could have.*
Dean waits in the waiting room and does waiting room things, such as angsting and reading Cosmo and anthropomorphizing chairs and failing to recognize that the universe is trying to tell him something.*
Spencer and Ryan looked at each other for a moment, and Ryan nodded. (It’s always Ryan’s call; everything about the project has to go through Ryan first because at this point, Ryan basically is the project. His entire life has been leading up to this, he thinks. This is his life.)*
A series of one-shots in response to the 5 Things That Never Happened challenge. Each chapter covers something that didn’t happen between Booth and Brennan, but could have.*
Romanies in America, missing children, and a power that threatens everything between Sam and Dean.*
‘Dear Ambassador Spock,’ Jim writes, ‘The new Spock thinks I am a total asshole and that sucks.’*
The first thing that registered was the noise coming from somewhere in the neighborhood of Dean’s bed, this whimpery little nn nnn! noise that mean whatever he was dreaming about was either really awesome, or really horrible.* I totally made up this title myself because it was untitled and I needed to call it something.
Dean thinks maybe, maybe, he could manage to scream a little more.*
“Honestly, Reid. You’re just the kind of person that makes me wanna adopt you and force feed you chocolate.”*
DG is never getting married, ever, which suits Wyatt Cain very well, since he will deny his feelings for her until his dying breath. But Ahamo and Lurline have other plans.*
When Kirk is unable to defend himself against unfounded accusations, Spock steps in to show why you should never mess with a Vulcan—especially one who doesn’t mind occasionally insulting his superiors.*
The aliens were very sorry for nearly killing Captain Kirk, and wanted to fix things.*
He didn’t know who started it but there was a wall on the Northeast Pier that the populace of Atlantis called “The Confessional”.*
So everyone knows Kirk’s a genius, right? Well, knowing and believing are two different things. And that pisses off the crew, who wouldn’t be alive without Kirk’s brand of intelligence and they love him, trouble magnet that he is and all. Kirk, of course, finds it pragmatic if other people don’t believe it (he likes being underestimated) but really doesn’t care one way or the other.
So to the prompt: ?# (anon’s decision) times a member of the crew did something to show off Kirk’s genius to the rest of Star Fleet (like Rand or Uhura presenting Kirk reports in various languages and him writing them in the same and sending it off to SF; Scotty not dumbing down the engineering lingo and asking for Kirk’s input to be sent off to SF for approval and their engineers are WTF? etc etc) and one time they didn’t have to.*
Mm-kay. We’ve all seen how Spock Prime’s pacifism goes out the window when his Kirk was in danger and he gets all, SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT, KILL IT, KILL IT — YOU’RE NOT SHOOTING IT FAST ENOUGH! OH, FUCK, EVERYBODY, THROW ROCKS AT THE JIM THREATENER!* Read the prompt. BEST.EVER.
You’d think by now they’d realize that Parker just doesn’t think the way they do.*
“Elizabeth,” he said, aggrieved. “She calls me. At my house. When I refused to answer her questions, she hacked my Tivo and erased all my backlogged Simpsons episodes. She snuck off-world once disguised as an adolescent Jaffa. With her around, it’s impossible to keep any kind of secret. Frankly, she’s a menace.” Set after SGA’s The Siege Part III. Futurefic for Veronica Mars.*
Fifteen of Jim’s secret talents that came in handy on missions, and one time it was just for fun.*
In spite of all their differences, Sesshoumaru and Kagome discover common ground… on the ice. A whirlwind romance of the Olympic variety.*
Arthur introduces Merlin to Gwen and Morgana for the first time (double date?) and they realise that he’s deaf. Half way through the date/day out Arthur starts signing to Merlin (because . . . the music gets too loud/feedback-y to use his hearing aids or something) and Gwen and Morgana are really impressed at how much dedication he’s putting into the relationship.*
Due to a HILARIOUS MISHAP, Tamaki thinks Haruhi is in love with Kyouya, and decides to hatch a brilliant plan to keep Kyouya from Haruhi and show Haruhi how fickle love is. But who is right for Kyouya, anyway? How much does Haruhi know? Why are the twins so smug? And where did the chalkboard in the garden come from? *
“This looks delicious,” Eames fucking lies, because the only accurate statement would be This looks like intestines, and he would like Arthur to continue to shagging him.* Laughed until I CRIED.
Instead of warning Eames off Arthur, I want a fill where Cobb actually gives him pointers.*
Every Saturday night, every teenager in town tuned into Radio Freedom. Mike’s their biggest fan, and that was before he met their star DJ. Otherwise known as the pirate-radio AU.*
It’s time, probably past time, that Eliot needs to leave. His lovers view things differently.*
Who would have thought that defeating the Wraith was the least of Rodney’s worries?*
Kevin walked down the corridor with his nose in his English notes, trying desperately to sort out his Cordelia’s from his Ophelia’s before the test in first period English. He ducked Macy’s wildly swung hockey stick, stepped around Joe and Stella’s awkward conversation, and opened his locker with an expert tap of his fist.*
Honestly, Gerard only even knows who Panic! at the Disco are because of all the shit Pete is always sending Mikey. Burned CDs, emails full of mp3 tracks, demos in varying stages of completion. Seemingly every single band Pete has any connection to at all winds up on Mikey’s iPod in the end, and it’s almost an accident that Panic’s album is the one Gerard chooses to listen to on the day his own iPod takes a nosedive off the edge of the shelf and directly into Gerard’s steaming cup of coffee, leaving him at Mikey’s (and, by extension, the Pete Wentz Music Empire’s) mercy until he can get it replaced.*
A story about an old movie theatre, fate, second chances and falling in love in the rain.*
Leonard’s book was kind of like the Bible in that way where one line from it could be taken wildly out of context and blown out of proportion.* This is GLORIOUS.
AU in which Kirk is deaf.
So basically he has no dad, is a child with an abusive step-father and distant mother, gets shipped to Tarsus IV and had to deal with that mess, gets shipped back to the abusive step-father and distant mother, grew up to be a brooding and self-destructive teen, gets shipped to the Academy, gets into the mess for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru, gets into the mess with Nero, and then becomes captain of the Enterprise anyway. And the kicker is that nobody (save for Bones and eventually Spock, who figures it out) realizes that Kirk can’t hear.*
Established relationship, they start influencing each other with their fashion choices. Eames is wearing a tightly tailored three-piece, is that color in Arthur’s outfits?*
Bill rescues a bit of grey fluff from the bushes. Maybe it was altruistic; maybe he just likes to accessorize.
Tom isn’t thrilled with the idea of adopting another pet, and neither are their dogs, but his first mistake is thinking his opinion matters.
His last is in trying to assert it.*
The first night Arthur stays over, the alarm goes off at 8:00am. Eames looks over at Arthur, who has half his face shoved into the pillow; he has only one eye open.*
“He’s got to come out eventually,” Rolling Stone observes. *
“French toast, pancakes, steak and eggs — I could make you anything in the world, pet, but no. Egg-white omelette, morning after morning. It shows a distinct lack of imagination.”*
When Adam Lambert showed up at his birthday party, Kris had had enough. He really didn’t know what sort of strange rock star style life Adam led, but no matter how famous he was, Kris was not bending over for a pile of sparkly, shiny gifts.*
After sifting through canine nutritionists, pet psychologists, and professional dog trainers, singer Bill Kaulitz hires handsome dog walker Tom Trümper to look after his babies. Will he get more than just another employee?
Harvey Specter hates kittens. Puppies, turtles, goldfish, guinea pigs – if it’s a commonly kept household pet, Harvey has nothing but palpable scorn for it.* Sequel to Friends? I’d Say Family.
It’s around when Ray wants to hold Walt’s hand like a goddamn teenage girl with stars in her eyes and wet panties that he starts to worry.* I LOVED this.
In the end it will be Charles Xavier who convinces Erik to trust again. (Single Parent AU that is “not as AU as you think”)*
What would have happened if Charles and Erik had managed to recruit Logan?
(In which Logan solves everyone’s problems through snark and BAMFery.)*
Steve’s not entirely sure how seduction works nowadays, but he’s learned from the best.*
A story about first loves and true loves, about friendship, growing up, and growing together. Atlernatively, this is a story about Mike figuring out what he deserves, and learning how to ask for it.*
It blindsides him one morning in the middle of his customary third cup of coffee; Steve walks through the door in loose cotton pants, shirt pulled up to wipe the sweat off his face from his usual morning workout, and Tony thinks: adorable.
Jane and Darcy are being moved to New York to work at S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s a whirlwind of a summer and Darcy doesn’t even have her iPod back, but not for lack of trying.*
[High School AU] People sometimes wonder aloud why Mike and Harvey are friends, since, you know, Mike’s kind of scrawny and more than a little geeky and has a tendency to run his mouth off without thinking about what comes out of it, and Harvey is really just as geeky but is considerably better at hiding it, and he’s a grade above Mike and has an inexplicable ability to stare people into submission that is vaguely unsettling in a seventeen-year-old.*
Brent’s got the werewolf thing pretty well under control after 24 years, but one little concussion and some emotional turmoil centered around his best friend/defensive partner makes things harder than they’ve ever been before.*
