because i want so badly to be one of the cool kids

[littleboycalico]

Stolen from therumjournals, zjofierose, the_deep_magic, and others on my flist:

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Choose one (1), and I will post a random line or two.

And like therumjournals (can I just BE her when I grow up?), I'll give a little blurb, relative word count, and the odds of me finishing it. A couple of them are dead,

You know what's coming don't you... Bone ;)

[littleboycalico]

Gee, how did I know you were going to pick this one? ;) Although, you are ruining your own surprise by picking it!

This is a Matt Bomer/Chris Pine fic (hence Bone) and 100% will get done relatively soon. There's about 700 words at the moment, and will be the usual 3-4k fic.

Chris scrambles to the other side of the door to check on whomever he’s plowed over and finds his frequent audition rival rubbing his shoulder.

“Hey, sorry, man,” Chris offers as he cringes. “Didn’t see you there. Are you alright?”

“Yeah, no, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been standing where no one can see me.”

Chris watches the muscles in his sculpted forearm flex as he pockets his own cell phone. It doesn’t even occur to Chris that he’s staring until he sees a hand extended toward him, prompting him to blink and look up.

“I’m Matt. We’ve see each other around for a while so maybe it’s due time to introduce myself.”

Tease!

[zjofierose]

ooh, ooh! papa don't preach!

also, LOL, that looks a lot like my organization system. hee!

[littleboycalico]

Oooh, bb, this is one of the dead fics! The plot was that a random ONS leads to Chris unknowingly fathering a baby, whom he meets only after the child's been born and is about to be given up for adoption. Against the advice of his agent, publicist, and even family to some extent, he adopts the baby. He's been having an on and off thing with Zach for a couple years, so there's the element of how Zach deals with this new development in Chris' life.

Anyway, I had been wrestling with this fic for about half a year, outlined it, but only managed to write about 1800 words. I felt like were too many emotionally heavy issues and I didn't have the time to really sit down and do this fic justice. And in the meantime, the_deep_magic wrote an amazing, hot, and fun fic that fulfilled my Pinto with baby cravings.

Chris watches as his son watches him back. Even at this young age, his wide eyes are searching Chris’ face, studying and making sense of his features

[eefreeboo]

Please to be letting me see whatever you have of this *pintopuppydog eyes*

[littleboycalico]

lol, I'm pretty sure you've seen all of what I have? But I can show it to you again if you want. :D

[marlee813]

Hug it out bro. :D

[littleboycalico]

lol, this is a plantonic Pinto friends fic. It was supposed to be a 5 + 1 collection of short moments where Chris leans on Zach for support and the final one was going to be Zach leaning on Chris. There's about 1200 words right now, and it's in first person Zach's POV, which I'm not totally sure I'm digging, and it's possible that there is another wip that could fit as one of the five. Probably only 25% chance it'll ever get finished.

He’s mumbling something into my tear-dampened shirt

Capri Sun!

Did you know that ALL of them contain pear juice?

[littleboycalico]

ALL OF THEM? Why is pear juice so amazing?

LOL, so this is crackfic. It's a Pinto friends fic where they get deaged and John Cho is designated (by Karl) to be their babysitter.

“Whose children did you kidnap?” Kerri's tone gets more desperate. “No, really, John,” she gestures with the spatula. “If FBI agents or, or, or Child Protective Services, I don’t even know who has jurisdiction, if any official looking person storms through that door

[the_deep_magic]

My guess: pear juice is cheap.

Kerri shakes her head. “Why am I holding this?” she mutters to herself and tosses the spatula in the sink.

This made me laugh really hard. HAND, WHY ARE YOU EVEN HOLDING THAT SPATULA. WE ARE NOT BAKING.

[therumjournals]

OMG I NEED THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE? YO MUST BE THE ONE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!

[coeurdesoleil]

Kite :)

[littleboycalico]

Hee, this is a Pinto fic, kind of angsty but I had a fluffy ending planned. The plot is that Chris and Zach fool around a lot casually, until Zach beings to have ~feelings~ and realizes he wants more but is afraid/doesn't know how to bring it up with Chris, who is a relationship-phobe.

It's been outlined, only about 800 words at the moment, and probably less than 25% chance of it getting finished.

“I’m not drunk. I need you to know that,” he’d said, pink lips grazing Zach’s cheek. He felt Chris’ hand fumbling at his belt

[coeurdesoleil]

I am so glad you have a fluffy ending planned, even if it might never get finished, because this was sad. Lovely but with an achy undertone.
