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. )

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

varcinie for the prompt, and to

mystery_sock for providing background reading :)

( Congressman Petrelli and his aide were waiting for Josh in the Roosevelt Room. )

First time unlucky
Characters: Will/Simon
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1,675
Disclaimer: I own nothing - all characters and situations belong to

c_quinn. She's just letting me borrow them for a while, for which I am very grateful.

This did not go where I expected it to. Also, I'm choosing not to think about exactly how old Will is. So I'm going to hell. Shut up.

( Jump into the handcart with me? )

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.

( He's fifteen blocks from the poodle's place before it takes him )

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

varcinie, 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. )

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.

( And this is the main laboratory )

HALP PLZ
I am blocked on no less than six stories. This sucks.

You can help!

I need drabble prompts, please. I've been reading back in this journal and taking advice from sensible people, and it seems like the thing that works for me when blocked is to ask for prompts and just write short fics. Maybe some of those will make it into the longer stories (to that end, if you have any Claude/Bennet prompts, I'll take 'em, and gladly), but I just need something to get me writing again.

Thanks! :)

Please not to be giving me prompts that turn into monsters k plz thx. Last time I asked for drabble prompts,

fantasticpants gave me something that is currently sitting, stalled, at 3.3K ... ;)

This are serious emptinez
... I haz serious lack of fic to post. Chiefly because last week I got no writing done at all, since Real Life *shudder* took over.

I have 2.5K (and growing) of a (weird) Plaude fic, and at least 1K each of several other stories, but they're all long, damn them.

And I'm trying so hard not to be blocked.

On the positive side, our internetz iz working again.

De nuevo, mi internet a en (?) la casa no functione :-/ Vuelvo cuando puedo ...

Que sera, ~~sera~~ chupa.
