Um, as always, I bring shocking news. I wrote All That's Best of Dark and Bright, which, yes, it has girls and quiet moments of emotional intensity and an authoritarian regime and magic. I'm not predictable. *grins*


Title: All That's Best of Dark and Bright
Pairing/Prompt: 57, The Like (gen or any pairing--Z/Tennessee), college shenanigans OR Brendon/Spencer, supernatural creatures.
Summary: Z had been waiting for months. A story of werewolves, love, and the beginnings of rebellion.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None besides implied violence.
Word count: 1100
Notes: It appears I wrote both the prompts. Kind of. A little bit. The title is Byron's.


( All That's Best of Dark and Bright )

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 )

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...
