My one story in the hell year just passed is largely the fault of Will Smith and Tom Holland. The rest of the responsibility belongs to Sparcina, who posted an irresistible prompt.

Transformations (Spies in Digsuise, Walter Beckett/Lance Sterling, c. 2500 words, Mature)

One night, after coming back from a short op in Barcelona, Lance and Walter came home together and immediately flopped on the couch to watch the latest episode of the Great British Baking Show. Halfway through the signature challenge Lance realized three things: the kid was asleep with his head in Lance's lap, a position he'd assumed at the start of the show with absolutely zero self-consciousness, Lance's fingers were idly stroking through his soft hair, and Lance had known ahead of time that this was going to be Pastry Week.

The worst part of it was, he wasn't sure which of these facts concerned him the most.

Happy new year, everyone. Let's hope 2021 sucks less. <3

Like many people, I have recently come down with goodomensitis, and the only cure is to wallow in it until my fingers get all pruney. Stage 1: squeeing endlessly. Stage 2: vid. Stage 3: heaven and hell help me.

Help, I've jumped in a time machine and gone back to the Eighties.

A Bar of Soap and a Belt Sander
Dan Fielding/Harry Stone
Night Court
Rated Explicit, c. 2800 words
Read: on my site on the AO3

Since Dan had quit being such a – well, such an unremitting bastard – every waking minute of the day, it'd been getting harder for Harry to keep himself from wondering what it might be like to do more than look.

It's been another LONG time, I know. I'm tentatively hoping this is the start of the return of my writing mojo. Set after the sixth season episode "Danny Got His Gun, Part 3", in which Dan goes missing in Alaska and is presumed dead. He returns, and then this happens, and yeah, I decided to go there - finally. I was a fan of the show in its original run, but haven't actually written for this obvious pairing until now.

Arse Over Teakettle
(Note: You must be logged in to AO3 to see this)
Jeremy Clarkson/James May
The Grand Tour RPF
Rated R, c. 4000 words

Jeremy's relationships tend to deteriorate once the shagging starts.

It's been a LONG time, I know. :( Set before, during and after Hammond's crash in the Rimac, and uses the accounts of the day from Clarkson and May's DriveTribe blog entries.

I started writing this before the BBC announced it wasn’t renewing New Blood for a second series and after an appropriate mourning period I picked it up again because Rash and Stefan should always live on, bantering and shagging.

If you haven’t seen the programme, this short vid will give you an idea of who these cuties are.


Overshare
(Arrash "Rash" Sayyad/Stefan Kowolski, c. 3700 words, NC-17)

Hard on the heels of Rash's discovery that Stefan was drunkenly expressing his feelings through the Polish equivalent of classic rock came the realisation that there could be any number of people – including, to his utter horror, his sister – who might be the object of Stefan's affections. While it was true that Stefan flirted shamelessly with Rash on a regular basis, it was also true that Stefan flirted shamelessly with everybody and everything. There were probably inanimate objects that had been on the receiving end of the Kowolski charm. For all Rash knew, Stefan's drunken warbling could be aimed at one of the Trafalgar Square lions. Or any number of random plane trees along the Embankment.

Here's another one from the WIP vaults, finally done! This one is...wait for it...a bachelor auction AU.

Hang on, where did everybody go?




Love for Sale
(Merlin/Arthur, c. 16500 words, PG-13)

Somewhere in the back of Arthur's brain, a voice was screaming about a distinct flaw in his logic, but that didn't stop him from yanking the door open and saying to a startled-looking Merlin:

“Buy me.”

So I may have a few WIPs that have been sitting around for far too long, and I'm trying to make 2016 the year I get some of them finished. This one was the closest to done, so I'm happy to say it's first out of the gate! Hope you like it.

Auspicious Beginnings
(Merlin/Arthur, c. 9300 words, R)

The course of true love and all that bollocks.

*waves* Anyone got Stan Rogers' "Down the Road"? You'd be doing me a very great favour. :) All comments screened and all help gratefully accepted.

ETA: Got it, thank you so much! :)

Yuletide reveals are up, and I can now say that I wrote Rocky Mountain High (also now available at my website, just under 5000 words of Selfie post-show silliness. It was a lot of fun rewatching the eps (oh Selfie, you left us too soon) and getting a feel for the voices again.

Yuletide is here and FOR THE LOVE OF CARS is now a fandom! My Yuletide gift is How It All Began, a sweet little getting-together story - and probably the first story in the fandom ever! I FEEL SO PRIVILEGED TO HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS HISTORIC MOMENT. :) Thank you so much for sharing it with me, kind author!

(If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, check out my Dear Yuletide letter a couple of posts back, and this).


And if you like, please feel free to comment to this post either in DW or LJ if you want to guess which story I wrote! :)
