Brad/Nate || adult || ~2200
Based on the performances of actors associated with the HBO series, meaning nothing about real people.

Follows Out of sync at the beginning. Porn without much plot, but the little dialogue that is present will make more sense if you've read the previous fic. Title from Soundgarden. Unbeta'd, so hit us up if there are egregious errors.

Generation Kill || Brad/Nate || Adult || ~3300 words
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction based on the portrayal of characters in Generation Kill by Alexander Skarsgard and Stark Sands, and is meant to imply nothing about the real people who bear these names.
Summary: When Ray tells Nate to fix whatever's between him and Brad, Nate has to figure out if Ray's fucking with him, and if not, how to get Brad where he wants him.

A/N So, we accidentally created a 'verse based on a random comment. Isn't that the way it always seems to go with us? Oh well, at least it's fun. This is the beginning of... something. Originally written mostly in txtfic. We beta'd it ourselves, so hit us up with any mistakes. Title paraphrased from The National's Slow Show.

( Nate knows something’s Not Right when he gets home, but he’s certain he can defend himself against whatever it is that’s causing the uneasy feeling. )

Oh wow, I do remember the password to this journal! *g*

Hey, everyone! *waves* This is why_me_why_not! I didn't realize that asimplechord and I hadn't posted anything here at all in 2010. What is up with that? Um, well, we've both been busy with RL obligations, and I think we've mostly just been dabbling anyway. There are a few random fics on our individual journals. However! We have accidentally created a 'verse with the Generation Kill fandom! We need to clean it up before we can post it, but I'm so excited to be writing with asimplechord again because she is awesome and takes my ideas and turns them into something more. So, it's something to look forward to. :)

... I think one of us is going to have to get new icons for this lj.

This is fiction. If you know or are any person named herein, please hit the back button. Or, you know, don’t tell us. (I’m looking at you, Tomrad.) Title from All the pretty girls, by fun.

( *facepalm* Working title: Bandboys need no pants. That says it all, pretty much. )

written via text message and IM, self-beta'd

fake, as in not real and never happened

( It started with an IM like this: you know that Ian crashed with Bden & Shane, b/c Shane has family obligations, and Shane's busy with work, so it's up to Bden to keep him entertained. )

Disclaimer: FALSEHOODS AND LIES! Not meant to imply anything about the people whose names are used.
Summary: Werewolf AU of sorts. Tom has been on his own since getting kicked out of William's pack.

A/N: Blame shutyourface. If you see any errors, please point them out. Werewolves are based off the werewolves in the Dresden Files, which is all why_me_why_not's influence. If you are one of those mentioned in this fic, or if you personally know those someones, please hit the back button or at least don't tell us about it.

( Tom's pretty much stuck to himself since he quit running with William's pack. )

Hi! *waves* We're still around! We apologize for not posting anything in a while! We've got several things in the mix, but we've been busy with Real Life and individual stories and all kinds of stuff, but we still love writing together, so there will be more. :)

Self-beta'd, so hit us up with stuff we missed. (or, well, any mistakes are all why_me_why_not's fault!) Also, we are aware that this needs a sequel of some sort; it's on the list. Comments help feed the muses!
Summary: Tom's supposed to be out of town, but when Jon goes over to his apartment, he gets a surprise.

( Jon’s had a key to Tom’s apartment for forever, so when his apartment gets flooded after a minor disaster upstairs, he doesn’t think anything of packing Dylan and Clover in their carriers, throwing some stuff in a backpack, and heading for Tom’s. )

Self-beta'd at oh-dark thirty, so hit us up with stuff we missed.

( That was three weeks ago now, and Brendon was hoping Shane had forgotten about it.  )

Team Naked Pics

bandom ll teen ll Brendon/Shane, Spencer/Brendon ll ~4700 words
This is not true, and is not meant to imply anything about the people whose names are used. Fiction. Disclaimed, yes?


A/N: This started with an IM conversation that went like this:
why_me_why_not: There needs to be fic where Brendon & Shane get into a massive fight and naked pics of Bren leak onto the internet. or someone else is jealous of Brendon&Shane and leaks pics onto the internet and blames it on shane in order to start a massive fight?
asimplechord: I'd definitely be on Team Naked Pics. So, another band member is jealous, or a random scene person? B/c I think Spencer or Ryan could be jealous, even though they don't know that Shane/Brendon is purely a casual fuck-buddy thing. Like, it was FINE when Bden was the only single one and they all had their girlfriends, but the idea that he might be taken by someone else makes them cranky and possessive. And hey, they went to the Pete Wentz School of Publicity. Peen pictures always work out fine in the end, right?



( thus, Team Naked Pics )

So, I posted fic over at my LJ a few days ago, and I always forget to share it beyond my flist. Better late than never, right?

Life Lessons
Bandom (patd) || Brendon/Spencer, Brendon/Jon || Adult || 1618 words
Disclaimer: Not mine, no harm intended
Summary: Brendon was starting to think there might be something wrong with him, with the way he's ready to get hard all over again just from licking the taste of himself off his best friend's lips.

Brendon stood completely, utterly still as Spencer kissed him, rougher and more possessive than any of the girls he had been with.

Autofocus
Bandom || Jon/Tom/Cassie || Adult || 1732 words
Disclaimer: Fabrications and lies, no harm intended.
Summary: He’s sure as hell not expecting Cassie to sneak up beside him in the small bar, snag his beer out of his hand, and call him a fucking idiot. Sequel to 8X10.

Tom knows he’s being moody and unreasonable, but he really can’t help it.

When It All Comes Down
Bandom || MCR, FOB, PATD, TheCab || Teen || 1317 words
Disclaimer: completely untrue, full of falsehoods and lies, no harm intended
Warning: mentions of character death
Summary: There’s a lot of confusion about what was going on. The only thing certain is that people died.
Lindsey pulls the blanket closer around herself and glances at the clock again.

Also, asimplechord wrote me a drabble HERE, featuring Brendon & sugar cookies, what could be better than that?

Lots of love, why_me_why_not
