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 ETA: this is woefully out of date, unfortunately--follow the fic and ficlets tags for the more recent stories.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: Wait For The Sound
Rating: R/NC-17
Summary: High School AU. The sequel to Got That Crazy Rhythm. First times (sort of) and awkwardness.
Pairing: Bob/Brian.
Warnings: None, really. Teenagers and mucking about with everyone's ages, that's about it. They're seventeen years old here, so potentially underage sex? I never know what those laws are.
Word Count: 2900.
Disclaimer: Bob Bryar is not a girl. None of what happens in this fic is true.
Author's Notes: For

torakowalski, as always, because this verse is all hers. Also I lied to her shamelessly today about this fic, saying it was very stuck.

Thanks to

egelantier and

antihysteric for looking it over; any remaining mistakes are definitely my fault. The title is Mirah's.

( Bob's on the bed, thinking about taking her shirt off. )

So sometimes you're backreading your flist because you're stuck on a section of your thesis that you have to rewrite and you come across fandom-related things that get you angry enough to need to say something before you can go back to work.

Look, my thesis is partly on gendered language and how faily it can be, alright? This is not a time where I'm terribly inclined to be lenient. Please keep the discussion polite and on topic.

( brief note on gendered insults )

So it's

torakowalski's birthday. Most of you don't know this, but Tora was basically my second friend on livejournal, or something like that (we met because I started telling her a story about Bob kidnapping his poor, stressed manager and taking him on a road trip to the Grand Canyon--yes, that story), and she was the third one I met in real life. You guys, she is so wonderful. Hilarious (and she has the best smile) and tiny and great and we spent an afternoon at Foyle's talking about Bob/Brian porn and scandalizing the poor gentleman next to us--and soon I will see her again! I am of the excitement.

This is my poor, paltry offering for her birthday--it is so silly, so silly, but you know how ridiculous I am, darling, and I hope you like it. It's been--you are a good part of why my life is just a little better these days. All the love ever, yeah? ♥

Title: Got That Crazy Rhythm
Rating: PG-13
Summary: High School AU. Bob hates Brian Schechter. No, she really does.
Pairing: Bob/Brian. Background Z/Tennessee and Brendon/Jepha.
Warnings: None, really. Teenagers and mucking about with everyone's ages, that's about it.
Word Count: 1750
Disclaimer: Bob Bryar is not a girl, nor did he go to high school with Brian Schechter or Z Berg.
Author's Notes: For

torakowalski on her birthday. ♥, darling, this is the silliest thing, but I do hope you like it just a little bit. The title is from Dylan's "Had a Dream About You, Baby."

( Got That Crazy Rhythm )

So there's something I can say now that I couldn't say before this weekend. It was good to be up here, good to get time to think, and now I just have a tiny thing I'd like to ask for, on behalf of myself and a lot of others who are hurt and sad and bewildered by the events of the last few days.

In order to do this, I would like to propose a thought experiment.

Imagine, for example, that it was Frank who had left MCR, mostly without an explanation. And then imagine that Leathermouth didn't exist, and Skeleton Crew was run by someone entirely different, so you weren't exactly sure what was going to happen to him. Now ponder what your reaction might be like, and that's probably pretty close to how some of us are feeling.

And I'm saying this because I'm trying to explain what it was like for us to find out that rumor was real. Emotional reactions aren't necessarily logical, and they're not necessarily fair, but they are what they are. The thing is, we think it's wonderful that you guys are able to be sad but calm, excited about the record and supportive of the band (I really do mean that), but we're not there yet. We need some time to be sad and we need some time to be angry and to ache for the music that will be without someone whose influence on the sound we really loved, before we can figure out how we feel about everything else. I trust we can have that, yeah?

So much love, dearlings.

Title: When the Shadows Appear
Rating: R
Pairing: Bob/Brian
Disclaimer: To the best of my knowledge, none of what happens in this story (or immediately preceding its beginning) is true.
Summary: Jesus, this band's fucking hard on their drummers. California, present day.
Warnings: Uh, none. Angst, but things get better.
Word Count: 2330
Author's Notes: Thanks to

torakowalski and

desfinado for looking at this, and to

thesamefire for hand-holding and reminding me how to write sex. Brian's opinions as a POV character are not necessarily the same as mine.

( when the shadows appear )

See, here's the thing. You lot know I will read and write pretty much any pairing, up to and including Lyn-Z/Mac from Veronica Mars and Bob/Batman, right? But I have an OTP, I've come to realize that. An OTP that I can deviate from, sort of, if the story or the idea is compelling enough--emotions and relationships depend on the underlying characterization, after all, and I certainly don't loathe alternative pairings at all (Bob/Batman, for example). But ultimately, I find them so interesting together that I default to writing them when I can, and I love reading them, love it so much.

( a bit of a love letter )

( people have been writing me stories! )

I'm going to start by I rec the one

lyo wrote for me, Space Where We Meet Is Different From The Rest, because it is a girl!Mikey/Alicia and a boarding school AU, and it is sweet and achy and sharp and fair to the characters and god, I love it so so much. She captures the confusion of figuring out your sexual identity when you're a teenager so well, and how pressure to conform can fuck you up, and I fell more than a little in love with her Mikey. Go read, go read.

This post is also a belated

no_tags reveal--not that it is all that necessary, because as at least three of you guessed, I wrote the one that had talking fish and Lyn-Z being a Real Girl. *grins* There were two things I wanted to do: one was to not write anything too over-the-top (my contrary self wanted to see if I could make them kiss in a way that actually wasn't super-romantic, even if the story was clearly heading toward a place where they fell in love), and the other was to make damn sure I didn't reduce Lyn-Z to a muse (that was mostly an ending problem, feel free to tell me if I managed). Mostly, I had so much fun writing this story, especially because I cunningly figured out that it was for

wasoncedelight (it took no great stealth, her photobucket name is somewhat revealing) and therefore got to write for a darling of mine, at the same time as I could be reasonably sure she would like it. So, dear all, here is a story about Gerard and a mermaid. Sort of.

Title: See You In The Morning Light
Pairing/Prompt: Gerard/Lyn-Z, based on this photo.
Rating: PG
Warnings: No warnings needed.
Summary: What would you do if a strange girl washed up on shore and demanded a kiss?
Notes: Written for

no_tags, originally posted over here. Thanks to

anoneknewmoose and

novembersmith for looking it over and making me fix the ending.

( It was dusk when Gerard got to the beach. )

This is the story I wrote for

popoffacork! Since it is both a rare pairing and a magical realism AU, well, I feel it was sort of obviously mine. I'm reposting it here because I like having all my stories in one place (I'm weirdly organized about very few things in my life, but writing is one of them). I still have to answer all the lovely feedback I got over there, but that'll have to wait until, hmm, maybe when I'm at work.

I had so much fun writing this story, you have no idea. The house is alive! *beams*

Title: Taken My Place
Pairing: Mikey/Ray, background Brian/Gerard, Frank/Jamia and Alicia/Lyn-Z.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Mikey's new roommate is hot, but his house is really fucking weird.

Notes: Written for

dancinbutterfly for

popoffacork. Thanks so much to

novembersmith and

anoneknewmoose for stellar betas. Also thanks to

softlyforgotten for helping me come up with things for the house to do! Originally posted here.

( Taken My Place )

It only took me twelve days...and now I'm really tempted to come up with a wretched pun on partridges in pear trees. I fear I am far too sleepy, though.

Here, darlings, the ficlets--there are superheroes, stories about music, awkward high school AUs, rare pairings, gen, lots of alwaysagirl, gen, Gotham City, and random crossovers. In order, we have the following:

The Right Music, Z/Tennessee, for

softlyforgotten. Z's pretty sure it's her turn to be brave.

One More Time With Feeling, girl!Bob/girl!Brian, also for

softlyforgotten (the trick is to leave me a first prompt and then have the second one be my favorite pairing in all the land). Bob glows when she plays.

I Should Refuse You, Bob/Mikey/Alicia, for

fleurdeliser. Bob isn't used to having epiphanies in the kitchen.

Ready To Go Anywhere, Mikey/Ray, for

antihysteric. Ray has a crush. Frank knows about it.

Temptin' You To Defy It, Lyn-Z/Z Berg, for

unlurkster. This is set in a verse where Z and Lyn-Z go to the same high school, and Z sings in Kitty and Lyn-Z's band. She also happens to be dating Lyn-Z, and prom is coming up.

Should I Wait?, Frank/Gerard, for

ciel_vert. Frank is definitely thinking too much about that one time when Gerard kissed him and they weren't on stage.

In Time, Patrick and William gen, for

airgiodslv. Patrick isn't sure how to do this coming out thing.

Not Afraid To Look At Her, possible future girl!Bob/Frank, for

jrho. Bob is not down with this shit.

Cast Your Dancing Spell My Way, Z and girl!Ryan, for

blindmouse. When Ryan woke up, she'd figured it out. Superpowers!au.

Take The Dark Out Of The Nighttime, Bob/Gerard/Lyn-Z, for

crowgirl13. More of the Bob/Gerard/Lyn-Z in Gotham AU; more epiphanies for Bob.

Stay While The Night Is Still Ahead, girl!Brendon/girl!Spencer, for

bayleaf. Set in the same verse as the Z-and-Ryan one above. Spencer wants Brendon to stay.

Not Alone In The Dark, Kon/Veronica Mars, DCU/Veronica Mars crossover for

jamjar. Kon has been at Neptune High for a while now, but it's kind of lonely.

Stuck Inside A Mobile, Jon and Tom gen (and a random AU), for

halflinen. And off they go, down the rabbit hole...

( in the New York City where music is not allowed. )

So I woke up to four snowflake cookies in my inbox, and over the course of the day I ended up getting another five, and man, it made my day. I didn't get any other writing done today (I know, I know, bad Vee), but I did manage this silly thing just now.

nokomis305,

sunsetmog,

modillian,

bexless,

liketheroad,

halflinen,

thesamefire,

delphinapterus, and

bunnymcfoo--this one's for you. It is ridiculous, I am ridiculous, but I love you lot. And technically one of you isn't reading fic right now, but I hope she will take this in the spirit in which it is intended.

Title: T'is The Season
Pairing/Category: Gen
Word Count: 400
Warnings: None
Characters: Gerard, Lyn-Z, Joe Jonas, Jon Walker, Spencer Smith, Greta Salpeter, and Brendon Urie. Mentions of Nick Jonas and Mikey Way.
Summary: Um, the one where they're working in the bakery part of the workshop that makes the winter holidays happen (not just Christmas!). Gerard gets stressed, Joe Jonas knocks over cookies, and Greta sings. That's mostly what happens. This has no redeeming virtues apart from its cast.

( It was a week before things would officially get completely fucking crazy. )

So it's

wasoncedelight's birthday. Darling, darling, I've had so much fun with you in the past nine months or so--all the commentfics, the babbling, the writing talk, the everything. I love you. Today should be a great day, because you more than deserve it.

I wrote you a tiny thing, a ficlet I've owed you for a while. It's Frank gen, before my big bang happens, and I hope you like it, dearest. ♥, so much, okay?

Title: Make It Deep (So It Always Shows)
Pairing: Frank gen
Warnings: None! (that's a first for this verse)
Word Count: 405
Summary: AU. Tattoos are forbidden, music is forbidden, anything fun is forbidden, is it really any wonder that Frank gets himself expelled and takes off for New York City?

( A visible tattoo may not have been the best idea ever. )

I had two posts to make today; this one is the one I shouldn't need to make. Today is the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women. It's a long name for a day and a hefty undertaking, unfortunately, because this is a world where women get hurt. And I can't actually write a post about this, because the terrible things that happen to women, it's the thing I carry and don't know what to do with because it hurts so goddamn much.

And by that I mean I know too many women who have been hurt by somebody, I've taken too many phone calls, you know how it goes, but I can't stop taking the phone calls or hearing the stories, even when I have no idea what to say. Really, there isn't much you can say except "I'm so sorry someone did that to you" and "I'm here" and "I love you."

So here is a story of mine. A ficlet, really. It'll have to stand in for meta, today. Let's just all agree that this fucking bullshit needs to end.

Title: On Your Marks
Pairing: Alicia gen.
Warnings: reference to past rape and violence.
Word Count: 975
Summary: AU. Alicia is fighting a revolution and she is a former prisoner of war. She wasn’t expecting to see one of her jailers again, let alone as one of their prisoners, but that's okay, she has things she needs to say.

A/N: Technically, this is set in my Big Bang verse, but all the context it needs from that is in the summary. Also, this is in no way intended as a commentary on what victims of sexual assault should do/need to do/or what closure should look like, this is a story I needed to write and something I need to post today. ETA: And I forgot to say,

thesamefire looked at this for me back in June when I wrote the first half, and she told me the thing I needed to fix the ending. Thank you again, darling.

( Oh, yes, she knows this man. )

I'm done! At last, at last. I kind of had a little too much fun with these, let's just put it that way, and therefore they are All Over The Place. We have superheroes, a weird sort of fairy tale, a ball (complete with stupid shoes), steampunk, a crossover with ATS, Bunny!pov (yup, I wrote a story in the pov of Mikey's cat, feel free to laugh) and a lot of other strange little universes. No warnings, I don't think, apart from very vaguely implied off-screen violence in the girl!Gee/Amanda ficlet and past original character death in the Bob/Gerard/Lyn-Z one. Oh, and Alicia is dead in the one where she is a ghost. Obviously.

Also, in terms of pairings, we have, in no particular order: girl!Gerard/Amanda, Lyn-Z/Alicia, Lyn-Z/Alicia/Jamia, Alicia/Mikey/Pete, girl!Bob/Gerard, Cash/Ian, Kitty/Lyn-Z, Bob/Gerard/Lyn-Z, and Frank/Mikey/Pete.

Title: Kick Your Shoes Off
Pairing: Lyn-Z/Alicia
Word Count: 1242
Summary: Lyn-Z hates balls. And dresses. And the shoes she's wearing. Luckily, she meets someone who can distract her.

Notes: For

airgiodslv. Prompt: costume party or masquerade ball and LESBIAN GHOST PORN.

( Lyn-Z worries at her sleeve again. )

Title: Got To Get To Her Somehow
Pairing: Alicia/Lyn-Z/Jamia
Word Count: 381
Summary: AU. A member of their team is kidnapped, so Jamia and Alicia are putting together a rescue effort.

Notes: For

fleurdeliser. The prompt was trick or treat, so of course I wrote about superheroes.

( Alicia hates Halloween. )

Title: Takes One To Know One
Pairing: Alicia/Mikey/Pete
Word Count: 376
Summary: Alicia dares Mikey to dress up for Halloween.

Notes: For

iamsupernova. The prompt was Alicia dares Mikey to dress up with her and go to some club on Halloween and they see Pete there and HOT DANCEFLOOR SEDUCTION HAPPENS.

( Mikey isn't sure about this wearing a dress thing. )

Title: Ghosts In The Machinery
Pairing: Gerard/Lindsey, implied eventual Bob/Gerard/Lindsey
Word Count: 853
Summary: AU. Gerard and Lindsey bought a boat to live on and do their art, but they keep finding odd things.

Notes: For

mahoni. The prompt was Bob/Gerard/Lindsey, in which there are GHOSTS of some sort.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about boats bigger than a three-person sailing boat.

( Gerard snaps awake and hits his head on the bunk. )

Title: Some Day I'll Make It Mine
Pairing: girl!Gerard/Amanda
Word Count: 681
Summary: Gee can't find her brother, and the forest is too fucking deep.

Notes: For

softlyforgotten. The prompt was this video, which is Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

( It's been three days since Gee last saw Mikey. )

Title: The Wind Began To Howl
Pairing: Cash/Ian
Word Count: 440
Summary: Cash has a new bass. It's haunted.

Notes: For

colouredmango. The prompt was Shingai Shoniwa!!!! Haunts some one!! Anyone!!! Bonus points if it is Cash/Ian. Shingai Shoniwa is the super-talented and seriously hot lead singer/bassist in The Noisettes, which, if you haven't listened to them yet, what are you doing?

( Poke. Poke. Poke. )

Title: Take Me Disappearing
Pairing: Gerard/Oz
Word Count: 366
Summary: I'm just going to use the prompt: Gerard fills in as lead singer for "Dingoes Ate My Baby" (Devon injured himself in a bizarre apple-bobbing incident?) at a Halloween night gig at The Bronze.

Notes: For

morebliss.

( Gerard's nervous. No, scratch that, Gerard is really fucking nervous. )

Title: The Loneseome Organ Grinder Cries
Pairing: Lyn-Z/Kitty
Word Count: 460
Summary: Lyn-Z isn't sure about this.

Notes: For

yan_tan_tether. Prompt: Lyn-Z and Kitty on a ghost train! The other installment in this verse is over here

( Investigating a ghost train may not have been the brightest of ideas. )

Title: His Pointy Shoes And His Tail
Pairing: Implied Frank/Mikey/Pete
Word Count: 607
Summary: Bunny wants revenge.

Notes: For

turps33. Prompt: buying costumes for all the pets, because they so would! Um, this turned out quite differently from what I intended.

( Bunny scratches irritably at her left ear. )

Title: Look Out Tonight
Pairing: girl!Bob/Gerard
Word Count: 592
Summary: Bob is really over this tall dark and brooding thing. If he wanted to be impressive, he shouldn't have named himself Angel. Also, Gerard is being a pain.

Notes: For

turloughishere. Prompt: getting attacked by demons in LA somehow leads to getting involved with Angel and his gang.

( Bob stares at Gerard mulishly, pointedly not taking the towel he's holding out. )

I have a tragic affection for rare pairings and gen, especially if the latter is female-centric. Yes, I know, this is a surprise to absolutely no one. I say tragic because there is never enough fic to read--and it's not that I don't like the major pairings; for instance, I hold a great deal of affection for Frank/Gerard (the pairing that got me into this fandom in the first place). But right now I feel like writing rare pairings.

So prompt me, if you will: a rare pairing or gen--bonus points for involving femmeslash or really wacky crossovers, but, like, Ray/Mikey is also always fun. I assume most of you are familiar with the fandoms I write (MCR, MSI, other bands work too, BTVS, Veronica Mars, DCU...) and you also know I welcome a challenge. Oh, and give me a Halloween-related prompt, please.

ETA: I reserve the right to stop when I want to, as usual. But for now, carry on, carry on. *grins*

And I'm almost done with my technical translation, even though there were a lot of prompts and a lot of difficult technical terms. I also finished my website editing, realized I have half of the project plan due in two weeks written already and the rest outlined, wrote an abstract draft and did a teeny-tiny translation. Those were some productive four days.

I also managed to make time go to dinner with a friend yesterday, where I got embarrassingly tipsy on one glass of wine (these days, I am what they call a Cheap Date), but the funniest part came before the eating/drinking: we got carded. In Sweden. Where you can drink alcohol at 18. *dies laughing*

But the commentfics! There are a lot of stories about soup, a few about leaves, one about tea, one about a blanket fort, one about a lobster, and one about a tough day at work. I wrote, in order:

Gerard and Mikey gen for

giddy_london. Mikey wakes Gerard up before noon. Gerard is not happy.

Bandom/BTVS, Bob/Willow for

crowgirl13. The Hellmouth is a lousy place to live but sometimes it works out okay.

Bandom/Criminal Minds, Alicia/Mikey/Reid for

iamsupernova and

absenteye. Mikey meets someone at Starbucks and takes him home.

Bandom/Veronica Mars, Veronica and Gerard gen for

strange_bt_true. Veronica receives some unexpected help.

Bandom/BTVS, Brian/Gerard for

brilligspoons. Gerard thinks the Slayer is awesome and Brian is jealous.

Bob/Frank, Halloween for

anoneknewmoose. Frank has decided that Bob and him are going as Dr Frankenstein and Frankenstein's monster for Halloween. Bob is not a fan of this plan.

Bandom/DCU, Bob/Bruce Wayne for

mahoni. Bruce is roasting pumpkins and Bob is amused. This one has a whole backstory of Batman rescuing Bob from things and Bob figuring out his identity, etc etc.

Bandom/Veronica Mars, Lyn-Z/Mac for

antihysteric. Mac is nervous and Lyn-Z builds a blanket fort. This one might be my new favorite pairing.

Bob/Patrick, raking leaves for

morebliss. Bob and Patrick get conned into dealing with the leaves in Patrick's parents' yard and I almost write porn.

Amanda Palmer and Gerard gen for

enhendi. Set in my big bang verse where they're all revolutionaries, and sometimes Gerard can't sleep.

Cash/Ian, vegetable lasagnas for

colouredmango. Wherein Ian likes to watch Cash when he cooks.

Original fic, Kit/Aria/Rick for

unlurkster and

softlyforgotten. On why soup can be magical, even when life is awful. Or part of a modern fairytale, if you will.

Gerard and a lobster gen for

blindmouse. Gerard talks to a lobster.

So I'm making soup, and that made me think about writing. (Shut up.) I haven't felt like working on any of my longer fics for a while (for those of you keeping track, the current priority order goes: 1. Brian getting hypothermia, 2. the Theatre Production, 3. Ray/Mikey college AU of awkward pining, 4. Big Bang sequel), but now I want to write short things. Tiny bits of warmth for the fall, if you will.

So here's what I want: give me a fandom or a crossover--bandom, BTVS, Veronica Mars, DCU, others if you feel like giving me a REALLY wacky crossover (hint: I love it), a pairing or character, and a prompt quote or picture. I want the prompt to have something to do with fall, friendship, or warmth, or all three. So if someone feels like linking to a soup recipe, that's totally okay.

♥

Two stories I've been rereading for the past couple of days:

mahoni's Vertigo, which is a wonderful, wonderful story about Bob getting kidnapped in Gotham and rescued by you-know-who. I mean, okay, her Bob pov is perfect, the story is scary (it would be scarier if we didn't know Batman was on the case), and the ending is, ow, oh, THIS BAND. In addition to those awesome things, I love all superheroes and especially this particular dark and brooding one with his family of misfits, so I adore this story to bits. PERFECT.

which_is_golden's Bruises To Prove It, which is an Ashlee Simpson AU, about her as a boxer. Oh man, I can't tell you how much I needed to read this story this week--it's triumphant and lovely, sharp and sweet and amazing. Adjectives are stupid--I finished reading it and promptly had to read it all over again. Just read it, just read it. I want more stories like this forever.
