Title: and you on my mind
Fandom Band of Brothers
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 11,096
Characters/Pairing: Lipton/Speirs
Summary: You say that you don’t want any of Easy to know that you’re in Boston but you give me your address. Following a relationship through the end of the war and beyond.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters--they are based off of the actors' portrayals of characters in HBO's Band of Brothers, not the real people themselves. Absolutely no disrespect is intended.
Author's Note: This fic was written for [profile] jeanquirieplus because she's a baller and has helped me out so many times, both fandomwise & IRL, and deserves to have so much more fic written for her. This fic literally would not exist without [personal profile] uniformly's help and encouragement and handholding through my own insecurities of writing new characters. <33 Massive props to [profile] spirograph for looking this over. :D Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.

Characters/Pairing: Lipton/Speirs
Summary: You wrote, I’m coming to visit—and that was when you met Carwood. The dynamic between Speirs and his son.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters--they are based off of the actors' portrayals of characters in HBO's Band of Brothers, not the real people themselves. Absolutely no disrespect is intended.
Author's Note: Can be considered as a kind of continuation of and you on my mind. This writing style is entirely different from the stuff I usually write. It's been going around my creative writing course a bit and I thought I'd try my hand at it without making a fool out of myself in front of my peers there. :) I'm not back from my hiatus by any means--I couldn't get this stupid fic out of my mind so I just sat down and wrote and it. I know I still owe people fics--those will be written as soon as I get out of school! I actually want to expend effort on those haha. This is entirely unedited.

Author's Note: This is for [profile] skylilies who was having a bad day. <3 This is complete and unabashed fluff intended to cheer her up--I've never written these characters before and hope I'm not too far off the mark. :)

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,466
Characters/Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Summary: Arthur meets Neal Caffrey.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters within--I just like playing with them.
Author's Note: Based off of this prompt on [personal profile] inception_kink: There's only one person in the world that Eames wants to approve of his and Arthur's relationship, and that's his BFF Neal Caffrey. Bonus points for Neal completely adoring Arthur, but still giving the whole "If you hurt him..." speech. Extra, extra love for some Neal/Peter, as well.
ETA - podfic of this fic can be found here courtesy of the talented [personal profile] fishpatrol

There’s a reason why Arthur has never condoned bringing Eames along when contacting his sources. )

Summary: President Haldane doesn’t need a First Lady. He has Edward Jones. AU
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters--they are based off of the actors' portrayals of characters in HBO's The Pacific, not the real people themselves.
Author's Note: I. Uh. This fic. NOT SURE WHY OR HOW I WROTE IT. I honestly can't come up with a good excuse for it since out of all of the fics I'm supposed to be writing...this is not among them. REGARDLESS, the boys in this verse are serious GQMFs (LIKE THEY SHOULD BE IN ANY VERSE) and I foresee like 30000 million other fics about them in this universe if I have the time to write them. This is also the same verse I'll be using in the epic Speirs/Lipton fic I'm writing for [profile] bachaboska later this summer so some elements of this fic will be explained with that one. Thank you to [profile] skylilies and [personal profile] haydncal for the cheerleading! <33333 Unbetaed.

Title: those long freedom years
Fandom: Dragon Age 2
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 14,379
Characters/Pairing: Fenris/Male Hawke
Summary: This is the truth: Hawke has too much power over him and he's scared of running from one master to the next.
And this is the sad, pathetic truth: Fenris is too broken to know how to be what Hawke deserves.

Author's Note: This is both because of and for the lovely Adri who I'm sure is laughing to herself forever about how quickly I became invested in these video game pixels. I couldn't have asked for a more fantastic cheerleader. <333
Just a warning: quite a lot of liberty was taken with canon conversations; bits have been moved around or rewritten.

Rating: PG-13

Characters/Pairing: Kida/Mikado
Summary: And as if called from somewhere far away, those eyes would open—a slow flutter of lashes before pale green eyes fixed on his face.
Written: post-1x12, pre-1x13
Author's Note: You know when you are supposed to be doing other things like the 289374823 other fics you have planned (or possibly you know SCHOOLWORK) and then one idea blindsides you like a 2x4 to the face and you're like "Okay, I'll just write it, it probably won't take more than 500 words" AND THEN YOU WRITE 3000 AND WONDER WHERE THE TIME HAS GONE? guys this isn't even my proper fandom!!! D: BUT I COULDN'T RESIST.

Title: Endgame
Fandom: Durarara
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,920
Characters/Pairing: Kida/Mikado
Summary: “We could be great together,” Kida murmurs. Mikado stiffens slightly but he doesn’t say anything at all.
Written: post-1x12, pre-1x13 -- but spoilers for Kida's past
Warning: underage sex, a lot of hate and fucked-up-ness on Kida's behalf
Author's Note: the prompt was Kida suspecting Mikado of being the Dollars leader before it is revealed to him, (due to Mikado acting leader-esk and bone chillingly awesome at times, or something) and combating hate and betrayal and the fact that he really loves Mikado as he knows him, but not knowing what to do if the Mikado he knows isn't all there is to his friend. I took this prompt and COMPLETELY ran with it and screwed the characters up until they were unrecognizable. \o/

It’s unfair, Kida thinks, it’s unfair and maybe Kida is a little fucked up in the head because it shouldn’t be this consuming, shouldn’t make him this irrationally angry. )

Summary: Eames is a little possessive.
Disclaimer: Characters are not mine.
Author's Note: This fic was written for [personal profile] cobweb_diamond who writes so many amazing fics for the Inception fandom. I wanted to show a little love by picking up one of her prompts that didn't make it to the kinkmeme on time. The prompt was collar bars and in excellent taste. 8DDD Sorry if I ran with it way too much lololol.

Disclaimer: Characters within are entirely fictional and no absolutely disrespect is meant towards the real people. All events are fictional.
Author's Note: Porn. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this fic. I swear to god this pairing has incepted me. They would make the hottest OT3 in the world. WILL BE BACK TO WRITING REAL FIC SHORTLY.

Characters/Pairing: Marcus/Esca
Summary: Marcus thought he knew who Esca was. A fusion of The Eagle and Jumper with elements from GI Joe.
Disclaimer: Characters are not mine.
Author's Note: This fic was written for a prompt at [community profile] the_eagle_kink found here which requested a fic that was based off of this amazing fanvid by [profile] bachaboska whom I absolutely adore. ♥ I kind of jumped at the chance to write a fic based on her fanvid because the premise was awesome and the vid was so seamlessly put together and invoked all sort of plot bunnies. So now we're even on the whole inspiring each other to complete fanworks deal. ;D And of course, massive props to the OP who asked for it because otherwise I might not have gotten the kick to write this. And thank you to all of the lovely commenters who left feedback throughout the duration of writing; I truly appreciate each and every comment! :)

Characters/Pairing: Marcus/Esca
Warnings: consensual underage sex
Summary: Marcus doesn't celebrate his birthdays any more. Prequel to never meant you harm.
Disclaimer: Characters are not mine.
Author's Note: This fic is a prequel to never meant you harm and I highly suggest that the original fic be read before reading this one. I was originally going to make this a single supplementary fic with both prequel and sequel stuff in it but then I decided to make them two separate fics so there's a post-fic piece also in the works. Unbeta-ed.

Title: Burnout (Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?)
Fandom: White Collar
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 19,281
Characters/Pairing: Neal/Peter, Neal/OMC
Warnings: explicit non-con; general mindfuckery
Summary: It was easy to pretend that it wasn’t Neal Caffrey undergoing this ordeal, just somebody who looked and acted just like him.
Written: post season 1
Author's Note: Written for [profile] collarkink for the awesome prompt: Peter and Neal are both taken by a bad guy (new or old) who wants Neal to work for him. Baddie physically tortures Peter so Neal will agree to forge things and help plan cons, even though these cons actually involve violence not just stealing and people are getting hurt. Basically Peter wants Neal to stop helping since he would rather suffer than have them participate in people being hurt - he understands Neal's reasons, but he believes that as an agent he puts his own safety behind the safety of ordinary citizens. So he is sympathetic to Neal but also truly angry that Neal is doing this. Neal sees Peter's pov but when it comes down to it, friends (Peter) come before strangers, so Neal refuses to let Peter get beat on or tortured, even if he feels awful about what he's doing. Bonus if Neal also has to sexually service baddie (otherwise they'll deny Peter food or medical treatment) but then Peter doesn't find out until after the fact. Original posting can be found here. Unedited because I can't look at this thing any more. >_>

Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: When Mary dies, John finds himself in financial trouble without a home for himself and his young son. There's not much choice except to turn to his ex, Sherlock Holmes.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: I was intending this fic to be a quick 2k words...and you know how that goes. A hundred million thanks to the amazing Lulu for being the best and quickest britpicker ever. She fixed up this fic and made it infinitely better. ♥ ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.
Kinkmeme prompt: John and Mary have a son, Hamish, then Mary gets ill and dies. John, who wasn't previously on speaking terms with Sherlock, moves back to Baker Street with Hamish in tow because he can't afford anywhere else on his own. Sherlock is surprisingly wonderful with the kid, and supportive of John (in his own, asshole-ish way). Reconciliation, and formation of a makeshift family unit once more in 221B, please?
Burn Down is intended to be set in the same universe and to provide background on why John and Sherlock fell out of touch, but the two can be read separately.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: So if I were to title this fic truthfully, it would be called "SCIENCE!!" And if I were to summarize this fic truthfully, it would be "In which I proceed to be completely self-indulgent with science! Also, SCIENCE." I would like to point out that I only really have an adequate knowledge of immunology, so not at all an expert in neurology. I am forever indebted to the fantastic [profile] anonbegone for her beta/britpick/putting up with me. ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.

All the comments that I'm going to make about the fic will be in this maroon color. And I am...not British so will be using my American spelling throughout. And it's also been like, five full months since I wrote this fic? So let's see how much I even remember about any of this any more lmao.

Author's Note: Written with this prompt in mind. I. This fic. I'm not sure where it came from.

Summary: When John is recruited into the MI6 to track down a security leak, he didn’t expect it to get this out of hand. At least he has Sherlock Holmes. Skyfall fusion. Sequel to us against.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Normally I like writing fics in the same verse that can be read alone, but in this case, it would probably be a good idea to read us against first to understand this fic. The Sherlock and John in this fic are around 24-25 years old. This fic was partially inspired by and borrows shamelessly from Skyfall. I feel like I should apologize for the copious amounts of sex but I'm probably not going to. I'm forever grateful to Helen for her suggestions and Britpicking advice which made this fic a million times better. This fic would literally not exist if not for Julia who patiently endured my endless whining and singlehandedly cheerleaded my lazy muse on to the end. <333
