Saturday
(Buffy the Vampire Slayer, (Buffy/ Tara, PG)
Author's Notes: Saved from my dead website and re-posted here. In an alternative universe where Willow is dead and Buffy isn't, Tara and Buffy wallow in memories.

I'm calling this the "Everyone Says I Love You" Challenge. Elizabeth M-for-Miss-Edith Barr and I had yet to put the words "I love you, I love you too" into a fic. Feeling this was a bit remiss of us, Liz challenged me to put the words in a fic with a pair she had chosen. She's a very evil woman, so she gave me Buffy and Tara. This is the result.

The View From Up Here
Figure Skating RPF (Daisuke Takahashi/ Jeremy Abbott, NC-17)
Author's Notes: 3102 words. A tale of Four Continents (Some people just look really hot standing next to each other on a podium). Also, it's Takahashi's birthday so posting seemed appropriate. Title from a charming little ditty entitled "Rhythm of Love" by the Plain White Ts. Thanks to leksa, my beta and remote figure skating coach.

Dear Yuletide gift bearer

Hello! If we've never met, welcome to my LJ (and me!). Nice to have you here. Take a seat, put your feet up, maybe get the bartender to make you a drink. I'd love a Manhatten while you're ordering.

If we have met before, the above also applies, except I really hope you're also thinking, "wow, I'm writing for that BAMF. She rocks," and not, "Oh god, she's such a flake. She probably requested something completely different to what she wants and I'm DOOMED."

With those formalities aside, I should say first off, sorry to not put more information into my requests. I really didn't want to limit your creativity by suggesting there were only certain stories I wanted. For example, I didn't want to check m/m when gen would be just fine (although I think I put m/m on the figure skating. I'll get to that later). I want a good story. I don't care how you do it. And I'm of the opinion that no one writes a good story by forcing themself to write something they don't want to. Really, there's nothing I don't like: m/m, f/f, gen, anything in between, AU, total AU, even mpreg if you do it right (what's right? I don't know - make me believe it?). If you have a story you want to tell, I want to hear it.

Also, I like characters who are flawed, complicated and obtuse. How you put that in a request, I don't know.

But here's the fandom breakdown:

( Talkin Bout Your Generation RPS )

( Mysterious Skin )

Well, that's all I got. It's supposed to be reassuring. Uh. Hope it turned out that way.

The Big Freeze
Figure Skating RPS (Johnny Weir/ Stéphane Lambiel, NC-17)
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction and is not intended to reflect on the personalities or behaviours of the persons mentioned within. Pure fantasy.
Author's Notes: 14 324 words. Undying gratitude to leksa who looks up the weird shit that I won't, joins all my separated words and says, "dude, no," when she should. Where would I be without her?

This story began as a series of prompts from the bordellinos. tangleofthorns suggested a glass slipper, azurejay suggested the noir theme and intl_princess provided the lyrics below. intl_princess also provided a location prompt (London) which I also used, although I’m pretty sure she meant London, UK and not London, Ontario. The noir private detective theme informs the writing style (including a very unfamiliar 1st person past tense narrative) and the plot (and the title). If you’re familiar with the genre you’ll spot lots of tropes. Respect to noir re-inventionist movies like Brick and Bound for the inspiration.

Johnny Weir is a private detective. That’s all you really need to know.

Part 2

Centrifugal
Figure Skating RPS/ Stargate Atlantis (Johnny Weir/ Stéphane Lambiel, Evan Lysacek, PG-13)
Author's Notes: 3358 words. A sequel to Centripetal. 12 years of fanfiction writing and this is the first story I can legitimately call a sequel. I think that warrants a drink. Speaking of drinks, leksa went above and beyond the call of duty on this one and either she deserves a drink or is drunk already. I can't decide. FWIW, a "Triple Axel" should totally be a cocktail. Also, warning for gentle mocking of Evan Lysacek. Purely in good fun. I'm not that kind of person.

adjective
1. directed outward from the center

( Standing in the gate room, with his hands raised above his head, is Johnny Weir. )

Truth Waits
Figure Skating RPS (Johnny Weir/ Stéphane Lambiel, NC-17)
Author's Notes: 2458 words. Truth or Dare and vodka. Circa Festa. With undying thanks to leksa who betaed and listened to me whine about not being able to come up with a title.

( He counts the number of times they’ve been here. )

Centripetal
Figure Skating RPS/ Stargate Atlantis (Crossover, Stéphane/ Johnny, PG-13)
Author's Notes: 2530 words. Inspired by this picture here and much flailing in the comments about how Atlantis would love Stéphane Lambiel (because everyone does). Also, inspired by something aurora_84 said to me in the same post.

–adjective
1. directed toward the centre

( Stéphane wakes up in the morning and Atlantis has rearranged his room. )

Blue Flower
Figure Skating RPS (Mao Asada/ Kim Yuna, PG)
Author's Notes: 1390 words. Everyone hooks up at Worlds. Roses to leksa who betaed.

( It feels like anything could happen. )

Such a Dreamer
Figure Skating RPS (Johnny Weir/ Stephane Lambiel, NC-17)
Author's Notes: 1263 words. Dreams, trains, a hotel room, porn and sex. That's about it. A flip-turn ocelot to leksa who betaed.

I've seen the worst of you too - Uh Huh Her.
