Title: At Her Side

Fandom: The Mentalist

Summary: It had taken some time before he finally gave in to the fact that the best way to keep her safe from Red John was to be with her all the time — waking and sleeping. Even though the emotional implications of that were huge and complicated and probably irreversible.

Rating: T

Pairings/Characters: Jane/Lisbon

Length: 3,300 words

A/N: So, I should not be writing this in the middle of NaNoWriMo — especially when I'm behind — but I did! I've been mulling over this one for a long time. I hope you enjoy.

Title: Anything But Mine
Fandom: Iron Man
Prompt/Claim: #2: Mine; 20_fics, Table 4, Iron Man: Tony/Pepper
Summary: I half expected her to say, “You don’t own me, Tony.” Because she knew that. But somehow I had never seen how she could ever be anything but mine.
Rating: G
Pairings/Characters: Tony/Pepper
Length: 1,000 words
Genre(s): angst, romance
A/N: Ummm, so, it’s been more than a year since I’ve written fanfic, evidently. Wow. I was...busy? I know that does seem rather excuse-like, but I did move three times and graduate college somewhere in there. Not to mention that I’ve been working on mostly original work (three novels down, four in the works?) that I’m hopefully publishing soon. But I do hope that I’ll get to dart back over this way every now and then to the fandom world. Anyway, about the story: I like to think this is an episode pre-Iron Man 2 when Tony is still grappling with the poisoning and realizing what he has. That makes it less depressing because we all know it works out for the better. :)
