Summary: Dorian's studies are disturbed.
Author's Notes: For Black Emporium 2016, for sparkleymask. Oh schoolboys, what would we do without them?

( 'No, it's okay,' he says quickly. )

Fandom: Community
Relationship(s)/Character(s): Britta/Jeff
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 560
Content Notes: sex, apocalypse au
Summary: Everyone else is dead and everything is meaningless, so what does it matter who makes what noise and when?

Title: Such A Depressing Box of Tapes
Fandom: Supernatural
Relationship(s)/Character(s): Sam/Dean
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 600
Warnings: set during Mystery Spot, so have some canonical character death
Summary: Dean dies on a Wednesday and doesn't come back. Relearning to live after that is a struggle for Sam.
Author's Notes: Written to go with this art, 'cause there ain't no party like a badbastion livestream fandom party. (art nsfw!)

Sam wakes up two minutes before the alarm and turns it off before it can blare in his ear. He can't stand hearing the classic rock every morning, but he tunes to the classic rock radio station first thing in every new motel room, right after he locks the door and remembers how to breathe again.

( It's been forty-one days since Dean died for the last time. )

Title: Tunnel of Love
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Sam/Castiel
Rating: G
Word Count: 300
Summary: And what happened in the Tunnel of Love was not exactly what Sam had in mind.
Author's Notes: Written for the Sassy OTP Valentine's comment fic meme, 2010.

---

The Tunnel of Love, Dean had pointed out, would be a much more appropriate place for Sam and Castiel to be making sappy puppy eyes at each other. Sam only had to think about it for three-hundredths of a second before he agreed.

( The darkened tunnel, romantic swans and tinkling music would be great for getting Cas in the mood for more than eyes, wink wink nudge nudge say no more. )

Author's Notes: Written for 5 Acts, January 2011. Beta'd by maskedfangirl. <3

Sometimes, it all seemed like too much. Sometimes, the weight was too heavy, the memories were too strong, the self-loathing was too overwhelming.

( Sometimes, he was a melodramatic fuck and he hated himself for it. )

Title: Dragon's Deal

Hardison woke up suddenly, from a deep, warm sleep and a strange dream. It took him a full three quarters of a second to realize he was not in his own bed, and an additional half of a second to realize that his strange dream was, in fact, a strange last night.

( 'You're sneaking out?' he asked, when he heard the door swing open. )
