Fic Masterlist

This is a masterlist of my stories. Listed in order according to when I posted them, with the more recent stories first (apart from where I've organized it according to verse). ETA: this is woefully out of date, unfortunately--follow the fic and ficlets tags for the more recent stories. Sorry! It'll be updated when the crazy dies down.

( Bandom and adjacent fandoms )

Ficlets from my monthly prompts posts:

( MCR )
( Other bands )
( Crossovers )

Title: This Time It Wasn’t the End
Rating: PG-13/R
Pairing: Natasha/Clint/Coulson, pre Bucky/Steve
Contains: Graphic depictions of violence, deals with grief and trauma.
Word Count: 11660
Summary: Bucky Barnes is found alive and Natasha gets her best friend back, slowly.
A story about recovery and love. And guns. And fighting your way back out of hell.
Disclaimer: I don’t own the Avengers.
Author’s Notes: The title is from “Breath of Life” by Florence and the Machine. All of the love and gratitude goes to torakowalski and soemily for freaking spectacular betas on very short notice. Any remaining problems are entirely my fault.

Thanks also to inner_voice for FANTASTIC art, which is here and which you should look at AFTER finishing the fic. Because the last picture is vaguely spoilery for the ending. AND LOVELY. Did I mention I love my art? Tell her you love it.

This Time It Wasn't The End

Stolen from torakowalski because this might be my favorite fic-writing meme:


1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School / College AU

Fandoms: Avengers, XMFC--yeah, something like that. But DC Comics is also fair game, as are Veronica Mars and BTVS. And the Tortall books.

Title: Here It Comes
Fandom: The Avengers
Pairing: Clint/Coulson, mostly gen.
Rating: PG-13, barely.
Warnings: Allusions to past grief. Dealing with trauma.
Word Count: 2000
Summary: Phil is coping. Mostly.
Notes: For torakowalski because it is her birthday (it is! In Sweden, at least) and I love her best. It’s mostly a number of post-movie scenes masquerading as a story. With flashbacks. The title is from Stars’ ”In Our Bedroom After the War”. Spoilers for the movie. Fix-it. On AO3.

Title: Meet Me In The Morning
Fandom: The Avengers
Pairing(s): pre-Coulson/Hawkeye
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 750
Warnings: None.
Summary: Phil isn’t worried. Really, he isn’t.
Author¨s notes: For torakowalski, because she was brave ♥.

( Meet Me In The Morning )

I'm working on this post-movie AU, you see. The premise can be summed up as: "Nope, Raven doesn't leave her brother bleeding on a beach." Alternatively "Vee's attempt at consistent characterization." Or: "Erik broods; Raven and Charles are the best siblings."

Anyhow, this story is getting long and there's a lot of healing and pain and so on and so forth, and the other day I needed to give Erik and Charles a moment of something less difficult, if you will. Post-movie, no warnings.

( Charles wakes up to Erik staring at him. )

Because my WIPs are either full of brooding mutants or dramatic musicians.

Stolen from torakowalski. ♥

Below are some fandom cliches taken from the tropes meme that went around a while ago. Pick one and give me a pairing (and some details if you want) and we'll see what I can come up with.

Preferred fandoms are: X-Men: First Class, Bandom (you lot know what I write), BTVS, DCU and Veronica Mars but I'm open to others as well. AU and genderfuck prompts are always more than welcome.

Each trope can only be picked once; pairings and fandoms can be re-used.

ETA: 3 left! Genderswap, historical AU, and HS/college AU.

Dear livejournal, right now I have a torakowalski and the weather is lovely and we saw X-men: First Class yesterday (lovely tragic gay romance, entertainingly wrong about other things). Tonight I go on holiday from work. It's a good week.

Oh, and there was a story that went up yesterday. I was out between 9 and midnight, so I didn't get a chance to do my own post (meaning my wonderful cowriter posted the whole thing, and you should all gasp in awe, because damn, is she ever amazing), but here it is. Same verse as Why Wait Any Longer, which was posted almost exactly a year ago.

Title: Where We Land
Authors: fictionalaspect and harborshore
Band(s): The Like, Panic! At the Disco, The Young Veins
Pairing(s):: Brendon/Z, Ryan/Spencer/Tennessee, Annie/Laena
Word Count: 55,306
Rating/Warnings: NC-17. One scene contains violent imagery and references to the threat of attempted non-con. Some scenes also contain homophobic language and sexualized insults directed at women. There is no actual dub-con or non-con in this fic.

Summary:Ryan and Z are the resident outcasts of their small Midwestern town, best friends who are fiercely protective of themselves and each other. As junior year starts, Z's trying to get her (struggling) band off the ground, and Ryan mostly just wants to be left alone--but everything changes when Brendon Urie transfers to their school.

master post, full summary, author's notes and wonderful extras are over here

This story, you guys. We've been writing it for over a year, and it's been such a process of falling in love with the characters, over and over again, of falling into the friendship of Ryan and Z, their you-and-me-against-the-world, of writing about learning trust and love and figuring out how to make it alright without glossing over the hard things. What started as an accidental commentfic (fictionalaspect said "Spencer/Ryan/Tennessee" when I asked for a rare pairing, and then we came up with Brendon/Z as a counterpart, and two weeks later we had 17K) grew into something I--it's hard to explain. I loved working with fictionalaspect (so much, holy shit), I love what we made, I'm so glad it's done but I'm also bewildered that this enormous project (for me, anyway--longest fic I ever posted) isn't--we finished it. Here it is.

Summer is officially here and I have five days off from work due to two holidays happening around a weekend. I may have a cold (I can't hear anything), but I am most pleased. So, a prompts post (it's been a while).

Theme: summer. Music festivals, archipelagos, the sea, starry nights, ice cream, you name it. I want a pairing and a summery setting, and if you want, a prompt. Wacky crossovers are welcome as always, and you know what I write, I think. (Or, I should say, anything you've seen me write or be fannishly excited about is fair game, as is original fic.)

It's okay to post twice if the second time is also a fic, right? Ahem. This is, if possible, even sillier than the last one. Pure cotton candy fluff. ♥

Title: Make You Feel
Pairing(s): Z/girl!Spencer
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Word count: 1200
Summary: Z was thinking about a girl. HS AU.
A/N Apparently I'm writing torakowalski silly stories instead of writing my own big bang. But she deserves them! She wrote somewhere over 8000 words on her big bang this weekend, because she's awesome like that.
