9:59 pm	Out of sight, out of mind I have been on sabbatical - apologies. But that can't go on; I miss you guys too much. And I miss writing! So I'm back, although I'm not even sure I can remember how to do this. But I must anyway. So there. Please consider this small offering, originally inspired by c_quinn, as an apology for my total lameness of late: Title: Out of sight, out of mind Fandom: Firefly/Heroes Rating: PG-13 ( Seat's taken, friend. Best look elsewhere. ) (32 Comments |Comment on this)

8:50 pm	Complicated Characters: Hana/Claude/Bennet and some extra little cameos. Rating: soft R, mostly for language Word count: 6,200ish. Blimey. Disclaimer: Yeah, not even close to being mine. Damn it. Summary: He wanted to say that he didn't need her help. That he was perfectly fine as he was, thanks very much. That Bennet, family sodding values notwithstanding, would be back around. He always came back. Regular bleedin' boomerang, Bennet. But it'd been six months, and it wasn't like Claude had ever been all that patient to begin with. A/N: This is mildly AU, since Claude, Hana and Bennet are all working for Primatech at the same time. What? I can dream. He's not bothered, really, when she hits him. Claude likes feisty girls, and Hana is nothing if not feisty. (Comment on this)

8:47 pm	Grounded 2: Payback Characters: Peter/Claude Rating: R Word count: 4,229 (how'd that happen?) Summary: "You know, you could probably turn it down a little," the empath says. "I could hear you yelling from halfway down the stairs. It's like Deadwood or something." Sequel to Grounded. A/N: Revenge is a dish best served cold—but I didn't mean for it to be this cold! Nearly 18 months later, here we are. Enjoy :) Previously ... Peter feels Claude's eyes on him, and his skin burns (Comment on this)

11:04 pm	Title: Talking Points Have Lesser Points (And So On, Ad Infinitum) Fandom: The West Wing Characters: ensemble Word Count: 2,850 Rating: PG Summary: "Yeah, look, the trade deal—it's, uh, looking a little beat up right now." A/N: This sorta' fits into the cracks around 5.19 (Talking Points) and before 5.20 (Crash). I may be taking minor liberties with the timeline; it's hard to tell from canon. ( Donna was in early, but Josh had gotten there earlier. ) (8 Comments |Comment on this)

8:20 pm	Not sure what's weirder: that I wrote fic, or that it was Plaude Title: Scars Characters: Peter/Claude Rating: soft R, largely for language Word count: 1,300 Summary: He wonders how long the long run is. Claude's scar tissue is old and white, but still with a faintly puffy quality in places, not the tight, strung-out transparency of really old scars. If he had to guess, he'd say within the last decade; maybe less. And that takes him back to the whole question of how old Claude might be. Peter runs a finger over the scars on Claude's chest.

2:32 am	Death and Taxes Characters: Claude/Bennet Rating: R, for sex and language. Word count: 4,170 Spoilers: Set between ".07%" and "The Hard Part"; some spoilers for those. Summary: Stupid, is what it is. Can't undo seven years with a taser and a bit of a grope. Don't know what I was thinkin'. Wasn't thinkin'. Sequel to Probability. A/N: Massive thanks to fantasticpants, for the title, all the encouragement, endless re-reads, and general taser-pr0n cheerleading. Thanks too to the guys over at 5_years_gone, for Claude/Bennet inspiration. Y'all rock! Previously ... (  ... so that's it. ) (29 Comments |Comment on this)

2:31 pm	Three Interruptions Fandoms: The West Wing/Heroes (gen crossover fic) Rating: PG-13 Word count: 3,400 Summary: Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman meets with newly-elected Congressman Nathan Petrelli to discuss a mutual and imminent PR problem. (Mah timelinez: let me schmoosh u them.) A/N: This is unbelievably talky; I guess that's The West Wing for you. Thanks to visiblemarket for the prompt, and to mystery_sock for providing background reading :) ( Congressman Petrelli and his aide were waiting for Josh in the Roosevelt Room. ) (20 Comments |Comment on this)

6:58 pm	Probability Characters: Claude/Bennet Rating/Warnings: R, for extensive violence and bad language. Word count: 3,384 Spoilers: Very minor ones up to S2, but virtually nothing past 1.17 ("Company Man") Summary: Even after you've calculated the odds and checked your working, twice, some things are still just ... inevitable. Set between ".07%" and "The Hard Part". A/N: Heartfelt morally grey thanks to fantasticpants for her endless encouragement and suggestions, and to entangled_now, who started the whole taser-porn thing in the first place.

11:53 pm	The Little Things Title: The Little Things Rating: PG Pairing: Sandra/Bennet Word count: Just shy of 4,000 Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers for 1.17 ("Company Man") Recipient/Prompts: marcal_92/ Pre-Claire and Lyle; Why Sandra fell in love with HRG; Sandra wants kids. Summary: Always the little things, to let her know that he loved her. And so she shouldn't have been surprised, she supposed, that it was also the little things that gave him away. A/N: Written for the rare_heroes Sekrit Santa fic exchange. Profound thanks to fantasticpants, who read this several times, above and beyond the call of duty, and who encouraged me greatly as well as pointing out my silly mistakes (all that remain are mine). The usual credit to visiblemarket, who will forever be my Sandra muse, and who inspired one or two of the moments in here. ( It's always been the little things. ) x-posted to rare_heroes and heroes_fic (48 Comments |Comment on this)

10:56 pm	Proximity Rating: soft R, for language and slash. Pairing: Claude/Bennet Warnings/Spoilers: Moderate violence; no spoilers past 1.17 ("Company Man"). Recipient/Prompts: Written for trollopfop as part of Morally Grey November. I'm so sorry it's late! Prompts were: Broken bottles, glittering under a streetlight. A memory involving tubes and scalpels (not necessarily used on Claude or Bennet themselves). This line, or a variation on it: "You know what the problem is with love? You give away a piece of yourself. And will you look at that, I'm fresh out." Word Count: 8,981. Woah. Summary: He likes his new partner. Likes the way that Bennet, for all his dependence on protocol and the chain of command, isn't quite as impervious to Claude's reckless grin as he'd like to pretend. It's altogether rather promising. A/N: Eternal morally grey gratitude to fantasticpants, who for the longest time was the only thing standing between me and death by plot bunny. I am not worthy. Really. Edit: Thanks to runningondreams for my banner! Son of edit: This story won an award for Best Bennet characterization in a fic :D ( And this is the main laboratory ) x-posted to brave_new_slash, morallygrayfic, paper_pwns_all, heroes_fic and rare_heroes (62 Comments |Comment on this)

4:14 pm	Caesar's Wife Characters: Claude, Bennet (Claude/Bennet if you squint) Rating: PG-13 Spoilers: Through 1.17 ("Company Man") Word count: 5,700. Summary: Bennet's never woken him at five in the morning just to ask him to come to the office. A/N: The story takes place around 1997 (9 years before S1) and was written for fantasticpants, in response to the prompt: Claude/Bennet, "When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk". Grateful thanks to fool_of_ships for throwing out several very interesting ideas when I posted the first section of this as part of a "works in progress" meme a while back, and to entangled_now, who beta-read the story for me and made enormously helpful suggestions. You're all fab :) ( You following B5 over there? ) x-posted to heroes_fic, rare_heroes, brave_new_slash, morallygrayfic and paper_pwns_all (72 Comments |Comment on this)

Summary: Sometimes, life hands you another chance. A/N: Written for liritarofrohan, who supplied the pairing and the prompts paint, unfinished projects, and life isn't a comic.

9:16 pm	Shirt button Characters: Bennet, Sandra (implied Bennet/Claude in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sort of a way) Rating: G in terms of actual content; possibly very soft PG-13 Word count: 750 Summary: People lose shirt buttons all the time. A/N: entangled_now gave me the prompt "stealth tactics, shirt buttons". Thanks! ... although I seem to have turned it into something über-mundane ;) ( Sewing on a button really shouldn't be this hard. ) x-posted to rare_heroes, morallygrayfic, and heroes_fic (58 Comments |Comment on this)

4:58 pm	Abandoned Pursuit Characters: Claude/Bennet Rating: R for smut and language, though as per usual, it's not very explicit because I am a prude. Word count: 1,350ish Summary: They might as well salvage something from the morning's efforts.
