Fandom: Lost
Characters/Pairings: Jack, Sawyer.

Title: You Look Different In The LA Sun
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Addison/Erica
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 686
Summary:She'd ask the other woman what the hell she’s doing, jumping into bed with her friend’s very recent, as in two days ago recent, ex-girlfriend, except she suspects that Addison's moral compass is often interrupted by impulse and need.

she almost doesn't recognize her )

Fandom: Dead Like Me
Characters/Pairings: Daisy/George
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 724

Summary:Sheldon comes down with the flu as soon as they get back, and wouldn't you know it all three of his so-called friends find places to be and things they have to do. Which means he tracks her down as soon as humanely possible. And even by the time Leonard finally takes him off of her hands, it's really too late for her.

she's lived this before -- but in reverse )

Title: The Girlfriend Conundrum
Fandom: The Big Bang Theory
Characters/Pairings: Sheldon/Penny
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 704
Author's Note: Part of the Fiction Friday challenge, for the prompt of Texas.

Title: In Our Bodies There Are Cells Shaped Like Stars
Fandom: Lost
Characters/Pairings: Jack/Claire. Various other characters are mentioned.
Rating: R
Word Count: 4,804
Author's Note: Written for [info]gigglemonster . The ending of this is, well, very open, so I may write a sequel. Also, this is way plottier than I intended.
Summary: Post Season 5 finale. There is something about her, this girl that he's never seen before in his life, something that fools him into thinking he knows her.

everything that's happened before will happen once again )
 
 
Stephanie (Amber)
Title: Underground Nightlife (or Five Bars That Aren't Joe's)
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Ensemble. Most of this is character interaction, but there is some Callie/Arizona and Mark/Lexie to be found.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3,192
Author's Note: I have been blocked regarding Grey's for about the past month. This is an attempt to get back in the groove, as prompted by a friend who not-so-wisely wondered aloud, therefore I hope it's up to par. Most of these take place Post Season 5, at some point in the future, though sections 1 and 2 are during Season 5.
Summary: It's not like Joe's is the only bar in Seattle, it's just that there's a reason they go there instead. Here's what happens when they don't.

mistaken identies and ensuing confusion abound )

Summary:Penny knows that being involved in one of Sheldon's habits, one of his routines, no matter what it is, can never end well. And yet she kind of walks right into one anyway.

seems like everyone here has a plan )

Characters/Pairings: Ellen/Laura
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,106
Author's Note: For the prompt vote, over at the Porn Battle VIII.

Stephanie (Amber)
Title: Just Look At The State Of You
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Owen/Cristina
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,508
Author's Note: I'm really not sure how I feel about this, but I'm not letting 1,500+ words go to waste, so i'm posting it. For the prompt shower, over at the Porn Battle VIII.
Summary: Post Season 5 finale. There's something fitting to the idea that they end up in the shower, of all places, once more.


i love you i hate you i can't keep my hands off of you )

Author's Note: I think I'm addicted. For the prompt roadtrip, over at the Porn Battle VIII.
Summary:There are three factors that led to this moment in time, this very surprising, mildly terrifying moment in time, one which she will never, ever, mention to anyone.

keep your hands to yourself )
 
 
Stephanie (Amber)
So you all probably now that the porn battle is currently happening. And anyone who knows me knows that I write 10+ pieces usually. So, um, prepare to be inundated with fic. I'll be posting two-three to a post, to cut down on spam, because I want them to be archived here and not at DW. That said, some of this stuff (re: most of it) won't be my normal Grey's/Lost so be prepared for smaller fandoms. On the plus side, I'm this close to done with my epic Grey's fic. Look for that this week.

Title: Too Unschooled To The Rules
Fandom: RPF (GA/BSG)
Characters/Pairings: Kate Walsh/Katee Sackhoff
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,416
Author's Note: I have never really done RPF before, so, um, yeah. Popping the cherry. Also, for the prompt flying, over at the Porn Battle VIII.
Summary:So she’s here. Alone. And so is Kate, recently divorced Kate, who was a little lonely when they first met a few short hours earlier, and now is just a little forward and a lot drunk.

Fandom: The Big Bang Theory
Characters/Pairings: Sheldon/Penny

Summary:Spoilers for Season 2 finale. Three months later, when she hears the first signs of life in the apartment, she actually finds herself feeling something close to excitement that they're actually home.

i've never felt so alien )

Title: Given That Our Blood Is Just Like The Atlantic
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica
Characters/Pairings: Sam/Ellen, hints of other pairings.
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,161
Author's Note: Trying to get out of the rut I'm in with that Grey's fic, by writing different fandoms. Here's to all two of you that will read this -- thanks to [info]crickets for the handholding.
Summary: Spoilers for Season 4.5. The seasons have started dictating their actions, and he isn't ever really surprised by that. It's cyclical like that.

1) To everyone in the U.S. -- enjoy your Memorial Day! Cookouts are not in my future however, with the threat of thunderstorms in the forecast.

2) I posted 25+ songs here @ [info]souredfairytale. Because I felt like it.

I did promise a second fic post yesterday. I made it, two actually, just not here. Instead I've been writing for the Mark(/or)Lexie ficathon that the fantastic [info]abvj is holding. Because this is what I do in between finishing up the rest of the Support Stacie ensemble fic from Thursday (which will have an epilogue if this works out that will put it at four parts), AND an Alex/Izzie fic that is...very long at the moment. So here's what I managed yesterday/today:

the sex tape incident, mark/lexie, pg-13
technicalities, mark/lexie, pg-13
mistakes we knew we were making, alex/lexie, r

I'll have something more substantial up tomorrow. Until then, happy Monday!

1) The BSG marathon on Sci-Fi is making me nostalgic for the earlier seasons, because Season 4? Is not happy making. At all. And I'm probably turning this off when the finale comes on because it's much easier to remain in my happy place if I still pretend the last 30 mins did not happen. This all of course leads me to remember why I just bought Season 2.0 off of Amazon (for half-price nonetheless).

2) In addition, writing Jack/Sawyer/Claire while watching BSG? Does not work well.

3) The cover of this week's TV Guide makes me happy, even if it is airbrushed to ridiculous levels (but so is everything else these days).

4) The Lost cast is strange. And by strange I mean not as...cohesive perhaps as certain other casts (BSG for example). Because I get the impression that maybe they don't get along that fabulously, they just don't make the news 24/7 like Grey's. I've thought that for awhile, and then I read the Terry O'Quinn/Michael Emerson article (it is beyond strange that those two are friends, given the show, but, you know, that's exactly the reason I shouldn't be surprised) in TV Guide, and this quote from Terry "...ask whether he misses any of his killed-off castmates. Some, for sure, but "half the time when we worked we'd be grumpy and pissed off at each other"" just doesn't sound like a fantastic little work environment over there. No matter how long the days are.

Point being: actors who maybe don't get along so well, kind of shows on screen, and I've always thought the chemistry between a few of the characters has been going slowly downhill for a few years, and I almost think that correlates with various issues they seem to be having with the parade of DUIs, and "i'm kind of done with this show" type comments that have been said/rumored.

5) Can we all cross our fingers that Friday is NOT Dollhouse's last episode? Because I actually like that show now (and I didn't for about the first three or four episodes, so it has gotten better, for all of you who dropped out early).

Title: Just To Stay Like This In The Dim Half-Light Dawn
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Derek/Meredith
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 612
Prompt: Written for [info]_takemeaway_ for the Alphabet meme (b is for breakfast). I'm sorry this is so short, but I had an idea and I don't like writing words just for the sake of them.
Author's Note: This is a new trick for me: MerDer where people are actually happy. Miracles never cease. If there are any errors it's because I wrote this with a very needy dog in my lap.
Summary:Spoilers for Season 5. It's just another morning in a long series of them -- if you forget all about things like calendars and plans that they were never very good at sticking to.

sing me sweet, sing me low, say you'll never let me go )

Title: Grabbing At The Fray For Something That Won't Drown
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Mark/Lexie,
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,024
Author's Note: So, yeah, I tried to stop, and then this happened at 1AM. Willpower = 0. Also, if this is overkill, well, blame it on my current mental state.
Summary:Spoilers for 5.21 - No Good At Saying Sorry. Just because she's acting like everything's fine, just because they had a nice dinner, does not mean that it all still doesn't sting a little

you touch my lips and grab the back of my hand )

No, the computer is still messed up. Getting on the internet is a nightmare. BUT. I am very, very determined so there will still be fic until this is fixed.

Title: So Maybe I'm Crazy (What Are You Then?)
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Lexie centric. Mostly revolves around Mark/Lexie, but there's a little bit of her relationship with Meredith here too.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 832
Author's Note: This is probably the flipside of Almost Crimes, at least I thought about this when I wrote that. So, anyways, I'll stop with the influx of Mark/Lexie soon, I promise. Also, hi, I do NOT write in 2nd person, and yet look what happened.
Summary: Spoilers for 5.20 - Sweet Surrender. There's this stupid skip in your step.

i knew they'd go 'are you having fun or what' )

Title: Almost Crimes
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Mark/Lexie
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 932
Prompt: Written for [info]abvj for the Alphabet meme (a is for absolution).
Summary: Spoilers for 5.20 - Sweet Surrender. Now that they don't have to hide and she doesn't have to be nervous all the time, she's got this feeling like they got off too easily.

Title: It's In Our Family Tree
Fandom: Lost
Characters/Pairings: Jack/Claire, although this is more character-centric than pairing-centric.
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,618
Prompt: Written for [info]crickets as part of the Alphabet meme (r is for roots). Also using it for #20 - Reflection at [info]philosophy_20
Author's Note: Even I think this is weird. And I wrote the damn thing.
Summary:General spoilers for Season 5. Not chronological, not even remotely. Daddy was always full of secrets; you think he'd teach his son to lie better. (He never taught his daughter a damn thing -- one day she'll be thankful for that)

it's between you and me )
