pants to match

Given Time We’ll Find It Strange | PG-13 | 4,000+
Mike Carden/Kevin Jonas | always-a-girl AU!

“I’m overriding your dibs,” Mike says. She didn’t actually mean to say that, but she’s not taking back her words. She even goes on, “And for the purposes of this conversation, dibs means I’m getting into her panties.”

a/n: sodamnskippy kink bingo is awesome. I wrote this today. Please forgive any errors, these two make the cutest girls EVER. Title from TMBG's Pet Name.

( Given Time We’ll Find It Strange )

There should be more figure skating RPS. Just saying.

Also, I would like something long and satisfying that is in a random fandom that I don't normally read. Which is tough, since I read in just about everything. I've read Deadliest Catch RPS, folks, I mean it, I will read ANYTHING. So long as it's well written, at least.

I am writing Gabe as a demon. There are demons and angels and I make up a lot of shit. I don't know, it's kind of not like stuff I usually write. Should be done soon, probably around 13 or 14 thousand words.

Annnnnnnd I just spent twenty minutes trying to come up with a teaser for you that won't give too much away. Nothing doin. Ah, well.

Oooo, men's figure skating!

ETA: Since y'all are giving me awesome random fic, here is some awesome random fic that I have enjoyed in the recent past!

la gare du nord - Josh Harris/Jake Anderson, Deadliest Catch, NC-17, ~40,000 words of unexpected fun.

there's space in the spotlight for everyone - Johnny Weir/Stéphane Lambiel, figure skating AU, NC-17, 36,000+ words of pure delight.

Geniuses 'verse - Jason/Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes/Foxtrot crossover, which everyone has probably read already.

Here you go, folks, more of my wonderful speaking voice, now with bonus cat yowling. That's right, one of my cats - specifically Maude - had really, really, really wanted into the room while recording this, and I naively thought keeping her out would be less of a hassle. At one point she even starts jumping at the door handle. I'd redo this, except I'm pretty sure it's one of my best readings, so whatever! It's a comedy, the cat yowling will just make it funnier. Please comment if you download - enjoy!

When You Know It’s Meant To Be | PG-13 | 12,000+
Mike Carden/Kevin Jonas | In which Kevin realizes Mike is his Disney princess, and Mike realizes Kevin would look hot naked.

Mike grins. “So here’s the thing,” he says. “It’s just like kissing a girl, only you’ve got some harder surfaces to work with.”

There’s a muffled, “Oh my god,” and Kevin brings up his other hand so he’s kind of covering his whole face, laughing more now, and Mike takes advantage of his distraction by slipping his fingers up under Kevin’s shirt.

A/N: Okay, so I think this is my favorite thing I’ve written since Dancing Without Warning. You can call this a canon AU, or, if you’re delusional like me, you can call this FUTURE FIC. Kevin would totally realize he was gay on his honeymoon, right?

Title comes from Selena Gomez and The Scene’s Naturally. If Kevin/Mike were a poppy techno dance tune, this would be it.

The Story So Far | PG-13 | ~12,000
Mike Carden/Kevin Jonas | Take your high school AU and spin it:

William’s mouth curves up at the corners and he says, “I like you, Jonas. There’s something delightful about you, look here.” Reaching out, he grasps Kevin’s wrist with long, soft fingers. He holds his hand up and blows lightly across his palm and a blue flame sparks to life, hovering in the air above his skin. “Wonderful chemistry, you’d make someone a very pretty familiar.”

A/N: [written for starflowers, who wanted "Sexual tension! Predator!Mike! Misunderstandings! High school melodrama! Bonus points if the Panic! boys make an appearance! Or Ryan! Mikey!" - originally posted at sodamnskippy for the 2009 Christmas gift-fic exchange.] So, okay, this is completely ridiculous. I hope you like it anyway, oh mod-pal of mine. I used to think you were amazing, back in the Harry Potter fandom, and now I still think you’re amazing, but also a complete sweetheart and kind of a spaz, and that just makes me like you more. Happy holidays! I’m glad I got to write this for you :) (also, can’t forget: major, awesome thanks to insunshine for the beta!)


( The Story So Far )

Let's make a list for the new year!

1. technically, it's 'another think'
2. passed/past are not interchangeable
3. 'no one' is two words - I blame E.E. Cummings for this, noone looks weird, so people were all, 'let's put a hyphen in!;' no, no, this is wrong.
4. the timeless classic: there/their/they're; know them, love them.
5. says/said are the best choices! I think it was chopchica who opened my eyes to this wonder - they disappear! You can use them all you want, and they never trip anyone up. Use them, and you shall understand.
6. actual names are awesome. There is no such thing as using a name too much. (I mean, unless you go crazy, there's some sort of line there.)
7. leave your crazy formatting at home, I want to read capital letters - it's not clever to use 'i' instead of 'I' or 'lorenzo' instead of 'Lorenzo.'

um, more?

In other breaking news: it is freezing outside.

Also, great things are happening over at sodamnskippy.

* MY KNEE HURTS. HURTS, HURTS, HURTS. APPARENTLY I WRENCHED IT BY GETTING MY ANKLE CAUGHT ON A BABY-GATE? THUS PROVING THAT I AM OFFICIALLY OLD. MY DAD IS DRIVING ME TO WORK, HOW PATHETIC IS THAT? HE LIVES 25 MINUTES AWAY FROM ME AND IS RETIRED. I FEEL KINDA BAD.

* nunshavingfun HAS CONNED ME INTO WRITING SOCKO/SPENCER SHAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED. I'M AS BAFFLED AS YOU. /ICARLY

* GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON OR WHATEVER OF SUPERSATURATION WILL HOPEFULLY BE UP BEFORE XMAS. THERE IS BRENDON AND SPENCER AND ZACK HALL AND STERLING KNIGHT AND TINY CLONES AND DISTURBING IMAGERY SUCH AS LITTLE BRENDON CALLING RYAN MOMMY.

* I'M ONLY ABOUT 2000 WORDS INTO MY sodamnskippy GIFT FIC, WHICH IS SAD-MAKING, BUT I'VE DECIDED THAT JON WALKER TALKS TO CATS IN IT AND IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT ZAC EFRON WANTS TO EAT KEVIN'S SOUL.

THAT IS ALL.

I really really really wanted to write a cheesy romantic Hallmark Christmas AU! You know, where Spencer is having the worst Christmas Eve ever, and he has to deal with shit at work and seeing his ex (Patrick) at the holiday party and his best friend, Frank, who is SO ANNOYING even though he loves the little shit - and for the purposes of ANGELS, Ryan is dead and Jon Walker is MAGIC, because this is HALLMARK - and Brendon has a crush on him, only Spencer is totally not interested, Brendon drives him even more crazy than Frank. And Brendon's all, "What are you doing for Christmas?" because, see, Brendon's got no family, or at least none that want to see him, and Spencer just wants Brendon to leave him alone, so he's all mean to him - he doesn't know about Brendon's sad life, because Brendon's so HAPPY all the time - and Spencer has to do last minute shopping and he's all HARRIED and he doesn't HATE Christmas, but he really could deal without all the bustle this year. And ANYWAY, Jon Walker is the new coffee dude at Spencer's favorite coffee place, and he's all MYSTERIOUSLY AMUSED by Spencer and TOO AFFABLE and he knows Spencer's order before he gives it to him, and then, I don't know, Spencer runs into Brendon outside the coffee shop and he's SUPER MEAN to him for some reason and Brendon's all "...?" and TEARY EYED and he doesn't know what he ever did to Spencer to make him hate him so much, and Spencer's all sigh, whatever, "I'm sorry," and Brendon's all sad smile and, "It's okay," and he walks off and Spencer's like, "Shit, I suck," and the next day, Christmas Morn, he feels even WORSE about Brendon, just thinking about his face, so he looks up his employee crap at work and finds out where he lives and he goes over and Brendon's all ALONE, but he's all buck up, camper and he LIES THROUGH HIS TEETH and Spencer doesn't realize until later that night that he's basically made Brendon's holiday HORRIBLE, and he's UPSET and he finds himself outside of the coffee shop and Jon Walker's all, "Hey," with a cigarette and a cup of coffee, mysteriously THERE, and Spencer finds himself spilling out the whole story and how he feels sucky and his family's mad at him and everything's just WRONG and Jon Walker's like, "You could have a do-over," and Spencer's all, "...?" and Jon's like, "A Christmas do-over man, everybody gets one, haven't you ever watched the Hallmark channel?" and then he touches Spencer in the middle of the forehead and everything goes black, and Spencer wakes up in his bed on Christmas Eve morning and he feels like there's something OFF, and he gets deja vu all morning, and then he sees Brendon and it HITS HIM and he's like HOLY SHIT JON WALKER. AND STUFF GETS FIXED.

And then at the very end Jon Walker's in the coffee shop by himself, cleaning up, and he's all, "So are you happy now?" and Ryan MATERIALIZES because HE'S A GHOST AND JON WALKER'S HIS BEST ANGEL PAL, and Ryan's all deadpanned, "Of course," and everything is awesome again. AND THUS JON WALKER SAVES CHRISTMAS.

THIS IS ALL I ACTUALLY WROTE BEFORE GIVING UP:

( It isn’t that Spencer doesn’t like Christmas. )

HI ALL! I happened to have received a monster amount of virtual gifts today, and I just wanted to thank everyone for their awesomeness and well-wishes! You guys are amazing, you always manage to make me smile, no matter what kind of mood I'm in. My holiday just got brighter; massive love, folks, love and warm fuzzies and robots and puppies and unicorns in hats. I don't know who organized this, but thanks so so much to everyone involved *HUGS*
