Title: I Just Dance [3/?]

Pairing: Kirk/Spock eventually, Chekov/Sulu
Word Count: 2,856
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Don't own, won't ever, wish I did.
Summary: AU So You Think You Can Dance. Kirk is a tapper and everybody keeps telling him tappers don't win. Insert reference to no-win scenarios here.
Notes: Music references: Jim and Sulu's duet is OK Go's It's Tough To Have A Crush. Nyota and Spock's salsa is to Celia Cruz's Rie Y Llora because of how much I deeply love her.

Part I / Part II

( 'I concur that you are not--' Spock sniffed slightly, pronouncing the next word with delicate disdain '--sparkly.' )

[EDIT: This is my pet project. I will update it when fic makes me squee.]

I have been keeping this private for ages on my Private Person lj but I thought the public (which never actually sees this journal so, yeah) would benefit from my painstakingly accumulated list of awesome. You will note--if you are there, which is already as unlikely as Jodie Foster being the representative of the human race to aliens but it's still an awesome imaginary scenario so I will stick with it--that I speak to myself a lot. I tend to do that. Especially because of the existential crisis that is speaking to a public thing you think the public isn't reading. I will warn (assuming the existence of) you that, like, 99.999% of this is slash. I think one or two women may have made it on but it was against my better angels.

Notes: So I have no idea how epi-pens actually work or if that's even how you spell it. I also only know what a Pirouette piquée because of the American Ballet Theatre website.
The only music reference this time is Looking for Donna from Hair.

Part I

( Mary Murphy had put Nyota on the Hot Tamale Train two seconds into her first solo. )

Summary: So You Think You Can Dance AU.
Notes: I don't know why this happened or why I spent so much time on it. I mention a lot of music in this fic, obviously, because of the dances. So far, here's what you need: Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog, Fred Astaire's sand dance in Top Hat [which I couldn't actually find a youtube clip of so that's just the trailer], and, thought I don't specify the version, I was thinking of Placido Domingo's Nessun Dorma.

Title comes from a Fred Astaire quote: "I have no desire to prove anything by it. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance."

( The guy gave Jim a big grin, like a kid's toothy Will-You-Be-My-Friend smile, and then kicked his foot up to his ear. They were sitting on the floor at the time so it was a bit more surprising than it would have been if they were standing. )

Current Music: Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog

Title: An Unexpected Reboot (2/2)

Pairing: Gus/Shawn
Word Count: 2,922
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Don't own, won't ever, wish I did.
Summary: An IT Crowd AU. Shawn and Gus are the IT division of a major corporation. Abigail may have told the teensiest-tinest lie on her resume--she claimed to have "extensive knowledge of computers" when she ought to have said she "had been in the same room as a computer once or twice"--and now she's in charge of their department.
Notes: I collected pickup lines from all over the internet. It's amazing how you can type [random word] + "pickup lines" and always find something. My favorite one that I didn't get to use was "Your mouth says, 'Shields up!', but your eyes say, 'A hull breach is imminent.'"

( Please. My milkshake brings all the girls to the yard, Gus. )

Notes: If you haven't yet seen The IT Crowd (I hear there's a US remake that should be avoided like the plague), you ought to. Also, this is my first time posting to this community so feel free to slap on the cuffs if I done wrong.

( Shawn looked at the phone. Then he looked at the pineapple smoothie in his left hand. He looked back at the ringing phone. Then he looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex figurine in his right hand. )

Title: The Only Two Tragedies (Epilogue)
Author:

Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Lancelot
Word Count: 1,541
Disclaimer: Don’t own, won’t ever. It’s all a lie.
Summary: Merlin is a British artist working at a coffee shop and Arthur is a high-and mighty PR mogul's son. After the former won the latter's modeling services in a drinking contest, Merlin and Arthur awkwardly and tentatively edged towards love.
Notes: Because the not-quite-an-ending was not the popular choice, I have returned with paintings, cheese, and Sophia. I don't do perfect happiness well (or at all) so this is the closest I could get.

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, and the Epilogue

( 'God, it's not like I would want to be the reason for breaking up something as hot as that,' Sophia said, waving a hand vaguely in their direction, 'By all means, I can wait.' )

Title: The Only Two Tragedies (AU 4/4)
Author:

Rating: PG-13 (for the presence of alcohol—shock!)
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur (eventually), slight Gwen/Lancelot
Word Count: 2, 238
Disclaimer: Don’t own, won’t ever. It’s all a lie.
Summary: Merlin is a young British artist living in New York but has, of late, lost his inspiration. While he’s looking for his missing spark, he winds up challenging Arthur, wealthy son of a PR mogul, to a drinking competition and ends up winning himself a less-than-willing model.
Notes: This is the final chapter! Congrats to anyone who managed to keep track of all the parts, if anyone actually did. In case it's been lost, the title comes from Oscar Wilde: "In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." Also: Sophia stole the show in the eleventh hour.

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, and the Epilogue

( He felt the universe setting him up for a giant, lifelong practical joke. )

Title: Helluva Thing
Summary: Remus reviews the how's and the why's of him and Sirius the year after they graduate from Hogwarts.
Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
Author's Notes: Amazingly enough, after writing a total of four (or was it five?) fanfics that experiment with narration, I have once again written a fanfic that experiments with narration. It is my first Remus-as-narrator fic, and I do adore Remus. I just keep going through the fanon story and making up scenarios in each era... I've already covered MWPP era, post OoTP, post PoA... Really, all I had left was the time immediately after Hogwarts. By the way, Remus and Sirius are the only characters here except for an amazingly original plot-device set extra. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( More archival. No judgements, please! I mean, you CAN judge...but it wouldn't be nice. These were written YEARS ago. )

Current Music: Priscilla Ahn- A Good Day

Title: The Time of Day
Spoilers: None. Written between Order of Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince.
Summary: Remus/Sirius at school. James wonders why Remus and Sirius have been waking up so early.
