ALPHAS
Without Packages, Boxes, or Bags [Kat, ensemble; 5891 words; December 2012]
About thirteen Christmas episodes of various TV shows later, Kat makes herself a cup of cocoa in the kitchen and declares, "We should have an office Secret Santa exchange. You know, get into the spirit of the season."
AMERICANO (SONG)
hablando de mi generación [OFC/OFC; 3178 words; December 2011]
Before she takes up with Gaga, before Americano means anything but an order at Starbucks, Carmen streaks her hair red in what she tells herself is an act of rebellion but is mostly a way to get her parents off her back about taking voice lessons.
ARTHUR CHRISTMAS
So Tender and Mild [Arthur/OFC; 699 words; December 2012]

THE AVENGERS (2012)
we were gambling to win [Clint/Natasha; 528 words; July 2012]

ninety percent humidity [Clint/Natasha; 169 words; July 2012]
Natasha shuts the window and starts squeezing the rain out of her hair, careless of the carpet. It's just one of many hotel rooms.
a love story in five scars [Clint/Natasha; 2118 words; August 2012]
"Nice scar," Clint says, tapping his thumb. "Does it have a story?"
you are a fever [Clint/Natasha; 856 words; August 2012]
Their first mission post-Avengers asks them to pose as a wealthy couple at a ball. Clint just arches an eyebrow and says, "I'll get my tux re-fitted."
the next tornado home [Clint/Natasha; 564 words; August 2012]
"Take a picture," Clint tells her, and winks. Natasha rolls her eyes. She never flirts much on vacation, says it reminds her too much of work. She shifts closer to him, though, pressing her arm against his despite the heat. He wraps an arm around her waist; she slides a hand into his back pocket.
BARE: A POP OPERA
Give Me My Sin Again [Peter/Jason; 885 words; December 2009]

your devils and your deeds [Peter/Jason; 274 words; July 2012]
Every girl who's ever acted alongside Peter in a musical has had at least a little bit of a crush on him. Peter's never figured that out and Jason has never told him. It's one of Peter's sweeter qualities, his inability to see the effect he has on people.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
The Chandrasekhar Limit [Kara/Lee; 2663 words; June 2007]
The laughter that spills from her lips is shaking and fractured; he has damaged her again, ripped another piece away. At the very least they have equal effect on one another, one trembling moment of joy for every two shreds of their torn selves gone to more holes in space.
BLACK SWAN
swallow her whole star intact [Lily/Nina; 1977 words; December 2011]
Prince Charming probably had better lines, but Nina laughs and sways against Lily, pressing her shoulder against hers.
BOMB GIRLS
Sing Hallelujah [Betty/Kate; 682 words; May 2012]
Betty is dimly aware of Gladys clutching her arm, beaming, but all she can see and hear is Kate, standing tall and radiating joy. She’s only this unguarded when singing; she’s only this unafraid when singing.
than a speeding bullet [Betty/Kate; 118 words; January 2013]
“Just a few questions for the Bomb Girl and the Songbird,” Gladys says, flashing them a perky smile over her notepad.
BODY (MOVIE CONCEPT)
The More We Get Together [Bodyguard/Kindergarten Teacher; 14,806 words; December 2012]
Owen leads him to a living room featuring a brown sofa, a matching loveseat, a nice glass coffee table, a flat screen TV, a sizable bookcase next to an equally sizable DVD rack, and piles of teaching supplies on every available surface, including the floor. That would be the "kindergarten teacher" portion of the profile, then. Why a kindergarten teacher is receiving death threats, Samuel has no idea. It's what he's here to find out.
THE BOOK THIEF - MARKUS ZUSAK
The Book Seeker [Liesel, Max; 3294 words; December 2009]

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
In Time [Buffy/Angel; 1607 words; November 2009]
Just like that, you fall in step with her, fall back into more old ways. Your history together is like gravity: an undeniable force.
CLOVER
the snow carefully everywhere descending [Gingetsu/Ran; 1200 words; December 2007]
Ran, always able to sense his presence, turns to smile at him, smile warmer than the buzz of electricity but with more fidelity than the flickering of candlelight.
When Soft Voices Die [Gingetsu/Ran; 533 words; June 2009]
Still, singing with the radio is almost like having a conversation: he has to wait for the right time to come in, has to balance his voice with others', has to be careful not to disrupt the harmony. It's a good metaphor for the conversations he keeps having with Gingetsu, where he considers his words so long that they never seem to make any music at all anymore.

Verse [Neil/Todd; 960 words; March 2005]
Every line of poetry I could ever write marched unevenly up and down his forearms, danced over his shoulderblades.
In Motion [Neil/Todd; 1141 words; December 2009]
Writing lovesick poems about his roommate should probably worry him more than the fact that said poems are terrible, but Neil has given up trying to make sense out of his feelings.
DELILAH (DRESDEN DOLLS SONG)
Never Met a More Impossible Girl [OFCs; 1063 words; December 2009]
You've learned to live with the helplessness, learned to just do damage control, but every time you help her, you feel like you're betraying her.

River Song always looks gorgeous, but Amy loves a good red dress, especially on a lady with a wicked grin.
FIREFLY
Speechless [Mal/Inara; 422 words; May 2007]
Nothing about this should be enjoyable, yet here she is undone and honey hot, Mal underneath and the stars outside.
someone to watch over you [Simon, River; 410 words; May 2007]
Tonight she murmurs, If I ask for the moon you don't have to give it to me.
mo(u)rning [Wash/Zoe; 159 words; May 2007]
Maybe they work together so well because Wash knows when to give and when to take, when to speak and when to keep his mouth shut.
Wife Soup (The Best Served Hot Remix) [Wash/Zoe; 2061 words; April 2011]
As the sign above the sink proclaims: "I cook, you wash." Every time Wash takes note of the sign, he makes the same joke to his mother about thinking his real name was Wash, he heard her say it so often growing up.
FRINGE
everything in its right place [Red 'Verse Astrid; 1119 words; December 2010]

"I'd change the whole damn world for you if I could."
Out of Place (Sweet Dreams Remix) [Rachel, Quinn; 504 words; April 2011]

Keeping Score (Brown-Eyed Girl Remix [Santana/Rachel; 1269 words; April 2011]

Red Light [Santana/OFC; 1034 words; August 2011]

he's such a tender sender [Sam/Mercedes; 581 words; April 2012]

To Save the World (Tick Tock Remix) [Kurt/Blaine; 1531 words; April 2012]
They say bad things come in threes, but apparently so do good things: in the same week that the entire glee club decides that they should walk Kurt to class and Kurt wins an eBay bidding war on a vintage scarf, Blaine makes an off-handed reference to preferring brown hair.
A Place Much Simpler Than This (A Foggy Lullaby Remix) [Quinn; 420 words; April 2012]

that party dress is such a mess [Quinn, New Directions girls, Kurt; 1102 words; April 2012]
This has to be some kind of sign, or it would be if God cared enough about high school dances. God’s made it pretty clear that He has much greater things to worry about.
Keep on Chasing a Dream -- WORK IN PROGRESS [Ensemble; ~10,000 words/chapter; started May 2012]
It's funny the way music can bring people together, create something so strong that you're still whole even when one of the music makers leaves. A spectacular year indeed.
feeling the blues about it [Brittany/Santana; 246 words; July 2012]
The fourth time Santana says that she needs more kissing practice, so come here, Brittany can taste the lie along with her lipgloss.
all the misfits and the losers [Ensemble; 529 words; July 2012]

GRAVITY FALLS
If You're Down to Get Down [Wendy, Mabel, Dipper; 2393 words; December 2012]

You Really Got a Hold On Me [Remus/Sirius; 2634 words; December 2005]
Sirius hurricaned his way through life (making "hurricane" a verb in the process) and left his survivors dazed, picking through the wreckage for what they could salvage. Thus far, Remus had lost his heart, his dignity, and now it looked like his mind as well.
A Different View [Remus/Luna; 2026 words; January 2006]
"I think you're entitled to know the shape of happiness," Luna says, sounding not quite so removed from reality as usual, tilting her head so her blonde hair slides off of one shoulder, tumbling down her back.
Once Divided, Twice Whole [Padma/Cho; 1304 words; February 2006]

Human Constructs [Draco/Ginny; 2621 words; March 2006]

as means the moon [Marietta/Luna, Luna/Cho; 2351 words; March 2006]
Luna was often disappointed by dictionaries; they seemed to have no sense of the weight of words at all.
in my arms flowering so new [Neville/Ginny; 3038 words; May 2006]
He came with all his world in bags, secret things that had yet to take root.
Next Time, Hold the Lace [Remus/Sirius; words; August 2006]

Time Out [Sirius/Lily; 1818 words; August 2006]
Nothing could come of something born in June, conceived in secret. Lily crossed the distance between them.

IN THE HEIGHTS
la nostalgia [Vanessa; 171 words; January 2013]
It drives Vanessa crazy that everybody calls the ship La Nostalgia, even after Usnavi explains that NOS-T4LGY4 looks kind of like the word, and what better name for a ship of people who have only ever known a spaceship for a home but never stop hearing about the old country.
THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES
Seven Wishes for Charlotte Lu [Charlotte; 3276 words; October 2012]
Charlotte graduates magna cum laude with the sun at her back and a portfolio dubbed "impressive" by one interviewer. Charlotte's proud of the interview series she did back in sophomore year, but everything else plays back like she forgot to splice in the last few seconds, like it's not quite complete.
when lights close their tired eyes [Lizzie/Darcy; 2878 words; January 2013]
There's a light on in the unofficially dubbed "nap room," but that's hardly unusual. The company hosts many workaholics, some of whom keep the same terrible hours he does. Darcy toes off his shoes outside the door, tiptoeing now in case whoever is still here has fallen asleep. He stops himself from dropping his shoes from suddenly numb fingers as he sees who is still at Pemberley Digital at well past midnight on a weekday.
by the way she bends [Caroline/Gigi, Lydia; 3172 words; February 2013]
"Not really," Caroline says. "I have the Internet. Are you serious about commissioning my services?" She profiles all her clients; she's very good at it. Gigi just doesn't seem the type to hire an assassin, however much certain people in her past deserve to die.
LES MISERABLES
Silence [Enjolras/Grantaire; 150 words; January 2013]
“You didn’t have to say anything, you know,” Grantaire says, doing his best to make his drunken collapse into the nearest chair look anything but. His head is pounding and it’s not even from the inevitable hangover; no, now that he’s taken to brawling in the name of justice, he got his head slammed into a wall.
there are roads left [Enjolras/Grantaire; 376 words; January 2013]
Enjolras hears their words without heeding them. He has never wanted what they have made of him. Revolution makes heroes of ordinary people, yet now they treat him as one extraordinary, one apart.
LOST
Taste of Poison [Shannon/Boone; 1398 words; June 2005]

MERLIN
blanket girls [Morgana, Gwen; 420 words; July 2009]

NANA
Imperfectly [Nana, Hachi; 1320 words; November 2011]

PRINCESS AND THE FROG
Home Cooking [Tiana; Lottie; 1188 words; December 2010]

PRINCESS TUTU
Beginnings and Ends [Fakir/Ahiru; 934 words; March 2006]

REVOLUTIONARY GIRL UTENA
Moonrise [Utena, Anthy; 1161 words; September 2003]

RIVER MAN (SONG)
Lilac Time [OFCs; 2580 words; December 2011]

RPF
Find Your Jesus, Find Your Kubrick [Lady Gaga/Taylor Swift; 2006 words; December 2010]
Taylor feels sort of like Alice in Wonderland, only she’s jumping down the rabbit hole instead of tripping her way into it, which she thinks makes for a more interesting story.
SHAKESPEARE
Double Entendre [Hamlet/Horatio; words; November 2004]
There's more to understand in understanding, and mysteries to be seen rather than heard.
our moonlight revels [Titania/Ophelia; 266 words; November 2006]

Sea-Change [Prospero, Ariel, Miranda; 522 words; December 2009]

SUPERNATURAL
whatever we lose (like a you or a me) [Dean/OFC, Sam; 4113 words; August 2007]
Everyone has secrets, he thinks, looking at her hair hanging in wet strands around her face, and isn't surprised when she kisses him like she's been walking a knife edge her whole life, like this is just another crazy thing to do for the sake of crazy things.
the last descent of their last end [Dean/Bela, 1220 words; May 2009]

TELEPHONE (MUSIC VIDEO)
Hello Hello Baby [Honey B/Lady Gaga; 1360 words; December 2010]

Their celebration of Thor's return lasts for all of fourteen hours before Jane is off chasing stardust again.
By This Losing Day [Sif/Loki; 2370 words; May 2011]

TOKYO BABYLON/X
No Angel Came [Subaru/Kamui; 2999 words; February 2004]
Subaru's glance is so dispassionate that Kamui flinches from it, as though some part of his inner self is drained away in the face of such absolute apathy.
Room to Breathe [Seishirou/Subaru; 809 words; July 2004]
He had expected it to be an annoyance, this subtle blending of space, a small price to pay for the aesthetic pleasure of Subaru's company. The Sakurazukamori moves alone, acts alone, works alone, is alone. Yet if two people can find a way to share the space of one, how can they prefer to be solitary?
Coming of Age [Saya/Kyougo; words; August 2004]
"I came to talk to you because you're lonely," she said simply, not questioning the knowledge given to her by the dreams, patiently sketching out the best way to manipulate this man, this kind young man.
Nobler to Have Suffered [Seishirou/Subaru; 1035 words; February 2006]
"How like you to make something beautiful," Seishirou murmured, and Subaru closed his eyes and leaned back into the quasi-embrace; it was inevitable, like a progression of chords.

The silence is what Erik enjoys most about the early morning, and this one proves no exception.
somebody's in-between girl [Emma/Raven; 1421 words; July 2011]
When Mystique dreams, it's just the color white, soft and endless and cold as snow.
a sky which beholds [Charles/Erik; 3317 words; September 2011]
All the times that Charles has been wrong about Erik, times as insignificant as this and as all-encompassing as the moment in the submarine, have been a result of what Charles imagines to be true, or what Charles hopes to be true, rather than Erik's actual nature.
break a silver lining [Charles/Erik; 1124 words; September 2011]
There's a name for this, a name in every language Erik speaks, but it's Charles who retrieves the word from his mind, Charles who gives definition to the emotion.
How It Falls [Charles/Erik; 3950 words; November 2011]
It's there, somewhere, the answer to the question Erik doesn't remember asking: in the shadows under Charles's eyes, in the worried frown, in the orange light of sunset on Charles's hair, in the press of their bodies against each other. Erik reaches across Charles to catch his free hand with his, Charles's fingertips cold in his absurd fingerless gloves.
we have reasons, so we say [Charles/Erik; 1190 words; December 2011]
Body language doesn't mean much to Charles, but he can sense the current of feelings underneath, all the love and the anger and the wondering, simple joy that Charles will still permit Erik to touch him after all the injuries he's suffered at his hand.
Mix and Mingle [Charles/Erik; 1922 words; December 2011]

the long walk away [Raven, Erik; 311 words; March 2012]
All Raven can feel as she walks away from her brother is the sand under her feet: soft and warm, like Charles's lips against her forehead.
darling, it's incredible [Alex/Darwin; 321 words; March 2012]
The Xavier mansion has a grand piano, which is probably some unwritten requirement for rich people. It takes Alex a few days to sit in front of it, a week before he finally rests his fingers on the keys.
now you bring me your bruises [Raven/Angel; 323 words; March 2012]
Other people's scars are stories written across skin. One of Raven's skins tells a lie; the other one tells a secret.
The Wonderment of Air (The Laughing Times Remix) [Scott, Ororo, Jean; 2039 words; April 2012]
"Even if we do find a key in one of these rooms, why would it go to a secret garden?" Jean asks in that serious voice she puts on when she's trying to be bigger than everybody else.
you're my home [Charles/Erik, Jean; 286 words; July 2012]
Erik returns from his morning run to witness an impromptu telepathy lesson. Jean is barefoot but dressed despite the hour; Charles, meanwhile, is in a bathrobe and slippers.
sing sing sing [Angel, Alex/Darwin; 370 words; July 2012]
Sean puts on a new record as Darwin takes Angel's hand. She laughs as the familiar strains of "Sing Sing Sing (With A Swing)" begin, laughs more as Darwin steps in perfect time with her, laughs most at Alex's disgruntled expression.

Prayers for the Living -- cowritten with
fahye [Charles/Erik; 29,589 words; August 2012]
The world seems even more of an impossibly large place than it did a few hours ago. Erik and Charles are in Cerebro, Charles muttering to himself as he examines various switches and levers, Erik answering the occasional question about what wire connects to which part. It is the only contribution Erik feels capable of making. The tight line of Charles's shoulders is a needle under his skin, a sharp counterpoint to the all-encompassing need for vengeance. Once again, Shaw has taken something precious from him.
A Cup of Sugar [Ensemble, Charles/Erik, Alex/Darwin; 6182 words; December 2012]
Renovations to the kitchen come last, in part because Charles rarely uses the room and in part because it's Erik's favorite room in the house. The two facts have nothing to do with one another--Erik actually enjoys cooking, and someone needs to keep a houseful of mutants and one stubborn human fed while they argue with various government institutions and try not to burn the house down.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
The Chandrasekhar Limit [Kara/Lee; 2663 words; June 2007]

When Soft Voices Die [Gingetsu/Ran; 533 words; June 2009]
Still, singing with the radio is almost like having a conversation: he has to wait for the right time to come in, has to balance his voice with others', has to be careful not to disrupt the harmony.

a sky which beholds [Charles/Erik; 3317 words; September 2011]

It's there, somewhere, the answer to the question Erik doesn't remember asking: in the shadows under Charles's eyes, in the worried frown, in the orange light of sunset on Charles's hair, in the press of their bodies against each other. Erik reaches across Charles to catch his free hand with his, Charles's fingertips cold in his absurd fingerless gloves.
we have reasons, so we say [Charles/Erik; 1190 words; December 2011]
Body language doesn't mean much to Charles, but he can sense the current of feelings underneath, all the love and the anger and the wondering, simple joy that Charles will still permit Erik to touch him after all the injuries he's suffered at his hand.
Mix and Mingle [Charles/Erik; 1922 words; December 2011]
"I'm not waiting around for anyone," he mutters. "Have you put your mistletoe theory to test? Don't answer that, I don't want to know."
the long walk away [Raven, Erik; 311 words; March 2012]
All Raven can feel as she walks away from her brother is the sand under her feet: soft and warm, like Charles's lips against her forehead.
darling, it's incredible [Alex/Darwin; 321 words; March 2012]
The Xavier mansion has a grand piano, which is probably some unwritten requirement for rich people. It takes Alex a few days to sit in front of it, a week before he finally rests his fingers on the keys.
now you bring me your bruises [Raven/Angel; 323 words; March 2012]
Other people's scars are stories written across skin. One of Raven's skins tells a lie; the other one tells a secret.
The Wonderment of Air (The Laughing Times Remix) [Scott, Ororo, Jean; 2039 words; April 2012]
"Even if we do find a key in one of these rooms, why would it go to a secret garden?" Jean asks in that serious voice she puts on when she's trying to be bigger than everybody else.
you're my home [Charles/Erik, Jean; 286 words; July 2012]
Erik returns from his morning run to witness an impromptu telepathy lesson. Jean is barefoot but dressed despite the hour; Charles, meanwhile, is in a bathrobe and slippers.
sing sing sing [Angel, Alex/Darwin; 370 words; July 2012]
Sean puts on a new record as Darwin takes Angel's hand. She laughs as the familiar strains of "Sing Sing Sing (With A Swing)" begin, laughs more as Darwin steps in perfect time with her, laughs most at Alex's disgruntled expression. She'd tell him she's not about to steal his man, but he might take it the wrong way.
Prayers for the Living -- cowritten with
fahye [Charles/Erik; 29,589 words; August 2012]
The world seems even more of an impossibly large place than it did a few hours ago. Erik and Charles are in Cerebro, Charles muttering to himself as he examines various switches and levers, Erik answering the occasional question about what wire connects to which part. It is the only contribution Erik feels capable of making. The tight line of Charles's shoulders is a needle under his skin, a sharp counterpoint to the all-encompassing need for vengeance. Once again, Shaw has taken something precious from him.
A Cup of Sugar [Ensemble, Charles/Erik, Alex/Darwin; 6182 words; December 2012]
Renovations to the kitchen come last, in part because Charles rarely uses the room and in part because it's Erik's favorite room in the house. The two facts have nothing to do with one another--Erik actually enjoys cooking, and someone needs to keep a houseful of mutants and one stubborn human fed while they argue with various government institutions and try not to burn the house down.

The Curse of the Bambino (And Other Love Stories) [Glasses Guy/Jock Guy; 1209 words; December 2010]
It starts with a little white lie: “Oh, yeah, I’m totally nuts about baseball. I watch it whenever I can.”
A Real Florence Nightingale [Glasses Guy/Jock Guy; 1286 words; December 2011]
"Ooh Mister Darcy ooh," Devon says, because it makes sense at the time.
CROSSOVERS
Pandora's Gift [Chronicles of Narnia/Veronica Mars; 1058 words; January 2007]
Okay, so she's a dead ringer for her grandmother, the real Susan Pevensie. But why the fake IDs? Why steal Grandma's name anyway? And why dump a rich guy, unless he can't help but be an asshole even when he wants to be good?
bending in time... AND SPACE! [Avatar: The Last Airbender/Doctor Who; 368 words; November 2010]
"I mean, who needs a big box to bend? And why does it feel like it takes up more room than it actually does?"
trespassing [Doctor Who/White Collar; 169 words; November 2010]
"You don't seem surprised by the concept of aliens in New York," Neal said, indicating the Doctor with a tilt of his head.
