( Chasing after Train Wrecks )

Two Americans—well, one American and one man everyone assumed was American—looked daggers at each other as they sat next to each other.

“These are demons,” Dawn Summers said. “They pretty clearly fall outside of Torchwood’s jurisdiction.”

“Torchwood was founded over a werewolf,” Captain Jack Harkness pointed out.

“An alien werewolf,” Dawn responded right back. “These are demons, which places them clearly under the Council’s jurisdiction.”

“Demons which come from the sky. Which makes them aliens. Which gives us jurisdiction.”

Harriet Jones looked from the one American to the other and sighed. “Miss Summers. Captain Harkness. As far as I can see, both of your organizations have jurisdiction, but the fact is, we have an invasion of Queller demons on our hands and I don’t really give a damn who stops it as long as it is stopped. Do I make myself clear?”

Both nodded.

“Then get to work.”

“We don’t have to listen to her, you know,” Jack said as soon as they had exited 10 Downing Street. “We both answer directly to the Crown, technically.”

Dawn looked at her counterpart uncertainly. “You’re saying we can work together . . . to not work together?”

Jack made a sound Dawn could only describe as a harrumph. “It sounded much more reasonable when I said it.”

Eventually, they had sex. But that’s a different story.

Because everyone needs a Shakespeare icon which also makes a point about fannish meta.

Title: Imagined Grace
Fandom: Astonishing X-Men
Pairing: Emma Frost/Kitty Pryde
Summary: If Emma Frost were the sort of person with qualms about using her telepathic powers, she supposes, she'd view entering Kitty's dreams as some sort of violation. PWP with no redeeming value.
Rating: R/NC-17
Word Count: 252

( But Kitty's having the nightmare where she’s shown up to teach her class naked again, and Emma’s glad she isn’t that sort of telepath. )

Title: To Quote Lear
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Wes/Lilah
Rating: R
Summary: Closets are for secrets.
Author’s Note: seekingxanadu wanted Wesley meeting Spike between BtVS seasons 6 and 7, no NC-17. I ended up writing a fic more up his sister’s alley, I’m afraid.

( To Quote Lear )

Title: Soldiers in Disguise
Fandom: Harry Potter (Yes, you read that right.)
Pairing: Hermione/Snape
Rating: G
Word Count: 307
Summary: Alternate universe. For bethbethbeth's The Snape-a-rama Instant-AU Challenge. The request? "Snape: a soldier recovering from shell shock. Hermione: a young nurse confronting the dangers of war. 1917, the battlefields of France -- is this any time for love?"

( Soldiers in Disguise )

I almost feel tempted to continue this, but I really should actually, you know, read the books then, shouldn't I?

For booster17, who wanted Lilah on her knees, any pairing. Rated R for dystopian evil.

( On Her Knees )

Y'know, you can still sign up for a ficlet here.

( Nude Swimming! )
