What Are You Looking For?

[cross-posting from T_G with Fishie's blessing so that I can have my co-written fics here too. ~m]

Title: Forget Everything You Think You Ought To Be
Rating: NC-17
Authors: machka and celticfish
Pairing: Neal/Andy.
Summary: Sometimes, you don't have to see to believe.
Word Count: 2904
Notes: Oh, look. Your mods like fic. We also like to write fic. And we are firm believers in "Needs moar Skibmann," so we took matters into our own hands. Well, one of us did, anyhow. The other did a very good job of holding still. ;) Title once again shamelessly stolen from Mike Kelly's "Fall Asleep With Me". This story contains fully consensual verbal bondage in the context of an established relationship. Thanks to courts576 and smackmydishup for reassuring us this didn't suck. :)
Disclaimer: Fiction. Most likely never happened. All events are products of a rich fantasy life, and nothing more, nothing less. Real people exist with these names; but these folks here are fictionalized characters, and not directly intended to represent the actual persons mentioned. Any similarity between the fictional version of the persons portrayed herein and the actual persons is somewhat intentional, but as far as we know, none of this ever happened, except in our minds. Dammit. (Unless it did, and then it's strictly a coincidence.) TL;DR? Fiction, don't sue.

( '...D'y'trust me?' Neal said in a low voice.  )

Title: Close Your Eyes While I Touch Your Body Real Slow

Notes: Our first attempt at a co-write, whee!!! It's not as easy as you'd think to write a fic via IMs, but hey -- expanding horizons, trying new things, all that jazz. XD Title is a composite of lyrics from Mike Kelly's "Fall Asleep With Me," the song that inspired this fic. The authors thank courts576 for the drunken quick beta, but please note that any and all mistakes herein remain our own.

( Outside there's way too many questions...this bed may be our only weapon... )

Notes:Written from Andy's POV. And hey -- David doesn't even really figure into this in the slightest. HOW DID I MANAGE THAT??
:-O
Takes place after an unspecified "Declaration" show -- you can place it wherever you wish, but DAMN the Biloxi show would surely qualify as kick-assed enough. :)

Notes: So! This has been sitting on my hard drive since September, when I decided that it wouldn't fit into the chapter of Anodyne that I was working on at the time ("Busted," for the record -- so linearly, it falls between parts 2 and 3). Since I tend to write in scenes, I figured I'd go ahead and throw it out there for all you peeps waiting on Anodyne updates...Kind of like throwing a bone to a starving dog, I know, but it's all I got at this time. *blush*

Notes: Dandy through Jeff's eyes. As noted above, this falls into the Anodyne universe, but it runs parallel to the current storyline rather than linearly.

Also? For celticfish's birthday fic celebration! :D HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Sister of My Heart!! *throws confetti and streamers* Sorry it's so short, but the Muse is being a bitch-h0r again...at least it's something from Anodyne...?

Oh, and misskatieleigh? This is all your fault. :P Thank you for looking at it and giving me your opinion. :)

Notes: I have been struggling mightily with my Muse over Part 3 of this series -- I had a prompt that I was trying to write to, and all She wanted to do was sit in the corner and sulk until I wrote the scene that She wanted me to write.

Once I started writing it for Her, it kind of took on a life of its own. *facepalm* It's still very much related to this series, although it doesn't fit the prompt I was trying to write... And because I haven't updated this fic in, like, forever, you guys are getting a bonus chapter out of it. :D And it's long. Very long. Oops. :D

Special thanks to annie2791, for trying to kick the Muse's ass; and my beta-fish, celticfish, who only saw parts of this, for lying and telling me those parts didn't suck. LOL

Sooooooo...Part three of what has now grown to be an expected eight-part IDEK-anymore-how-many-parts serial fic.

Notes: ANNIE MADE ME DO IT. *points wildly in Annie's direction, OMG*

And because that's all I do lately, and I know it pisses people off, it's written in 2nd person from Bryan's POV. I CAN'T HELP IT, DAMMIT.

( Corrupted in an uncorruptable way... )

Notes: Written for prompt #13 on my Prompt Table of Doom; [Hold].

Part two of an expected six(hi, now it's) seven TRY TWELVE- No-fucking-clue-how-many part serial fic. I'm only posting this part this soon because it's done, so don't go getting all spoiled or anything, because part 3 hasn't really even been started yet, sorries. :P

And as before, it's all courts576's fault. *points*

Big ol' hugs and smooches to celticfish for being my ß-fish and cheerleading on this.

Notes: Written for prompt #30 on my Prompt Table of Doom; [Enchant].

Part one of an expected six (now) seven TRY TWELVE part no-fucking-clue-anymore serial fic. Written from a college-aged David Cook's perspective.

Furthermore, I blame courts576 for this, because she's the one with the 30-prompt table that she's working on, and that of course got me contemplating my own...but I had to be difficult, and create my own randomized table... and immediately several "story arcs" popped right out at me, and...well...shit.

...Yeah.

Big ol' hugs and smooches to celticfish for ß-correction and cheerleading on this.

Notes: IDEK anymore, I swear... I guess you could call it backstory for "Broken Trust" and a follow-up to "Safe"...

Starts in the near-present, regresses into the past, and ends in the immediate present -- sorry if it's confusing, but that's the way it came to me. *shrug*

III. Spring is set in 2008
II. Summer is set in 2007
I. Winter is set in 2006
...And the fall (Summer, again) is once again 2008.

Also? I have no idea how this damn thing got so long -- Winter just got away from me completely... *facepalm*

( And it's all right if you stay with me tonight, until the rain passes by... )

Notes: *points @ summary*

No, really -- for some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to continue what happens in Andy's apartment after David shows up. For that matter, I started having additional thoughts about formulating the backstory of David and Andy's relationship, which can of course only end in tears... anyway -- *points @ summary*

Written very haphazardly and probably not very good, so you've been warned and all.
