Title: it's a badass afterlife
Characters/Pairings: Castiel, Ash, Jo, Ellen, Gabriel + others; Dean/Castiel
Rating: PG13
Word count: 6177
Warnings/Spoilers: slightly crack-ish, but I think it's the only warning I can give. Spoilers up until 5x22, and especially for 5x16, 5x10 and said 5x22. It goes slightly AU from the ending though.
Summary: the one where when the new boss in Heaven walks inside Ash's bar with plans. Reunions happen, matchmaking happens, hacking angel radio happens and it's generally an awesome afterlife, all things considered.
A/N: written for polyonymous for castielfest; there will be another one coming as soon as I have it beta-ed, but for now have this. ;) The prompt was: Castiel takes to loitering at Heaven's Roadhouse with Ellen, Jo, Ash, and company. Bonus points for Gabriel. This is slightly crack-ish. But I had fun with it. I hope it fits the bill! :D Thanks to pnr for looking it over before I posted it.

( -Dr. Badass: joint owner, Enochian expert, computer genius; and he gives archangels pep-talks, too. - He’s so putting that on his business card, next time he decides he wants one. )

Oh dear WHAT HAVE I DONE FF WHAT HAVE I DONE. The luau is already making damage here.

: the perks of being a space pirate
: light NC17
: Charlie/Desmond, then ORGY. And when I say ORGY, I mean ORGY. In capital letters.
: 6500
: the Lost/Firefly fusion where Sawyer has a ship, Miles is his second-in-command, Desmond is the ship's priest, a bunch of other people are there, the key word on the ship is free love and Charlie is the musician Sawyer just hired. And where the hero of Canton is Sayid, but he hates that song.
: er, AU? For Lost none really, for Firefly general premises and some stuff but really, it's a fusion so no one from Firefly actually appears.
: I don't own anything. Joss Whedon, please forgive me for this. Darlton not so much.
: the gracious Queen toestastegood asked for 'the future' lostsquee luau. Today, I spent six hours in a library copying notes regarding Kant. I had the idea while doing that. Obviously it probably means I need my head checked, but still. I also wrote it while listening on repeat to the original Hero Of Canton song, and I probably shouldn't have. This is crack, sort of, so my only advice would be: don't take it too seriously. And I hope it fits the bill. ;) and since I'm here, using for au_abc, outerspace, and au_bingo, criminals. Oh dear what have I done. Also: all the planet names were used on Firefly and Wikipedia says it. I don't have the imagination for coming up with that kind of stuff.

( Our love for him now ain't hard to explain, the Hero Of Canton, the man they call Sayid. )

This = my fic for scifibigbang. [And I'm sort of using it also for another table. *cough*]

Title: Devil's Arcade
Art: totally awesome art by divka
Pairings: Desmond/Sayid (main), Jack/Sawyer, Boone/Charlie (both sort non-explicit but there); most canon (male) characters appear. Sawyer/Kate and Desmond/Penny are sort of referred to, but they're both backstory.
Word Count: 32800
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: The rating is not only for a sex scene, but I went for it mostly because since it's a war fic it gets very violent, there's some gore, a full battle description, probably touchy/triggering subjects and everything that goes with the setting. (Though it's not a death fic.)
Summary: WWII AU; Desmond and Sayid (plus Charlie and Sawyer) are British soldiers at El Alamein. This follows them and others (Jack, plus Boone) in their unit from 1942 until 1945 (and sort of later, too).
A/N: first of all, endless thanks to elliotsmelliot who did an awesome beta-ing job for this in a very short time and whose help was just priceless beyond any possible description. Thank you so much again for it. And to divka who did the awesome art and who had to stand my complete and utter failure-ness with PMs. Also, this is the result of brainstorming over one fic idea for a year and a half. I just hope it did end up being a good effort. ;) Also, title stolen from Springsteen. Yes, I know you were all totally NOT expecting it.

Prologues [England, Iraq]; Part I [El Alamein - first]; Part II [El Alamein - second]; Interlude I [Tunisia]; Part III [Italy - Sicily]; Interlude II [Italy]; Part IV [Italy - Cassino]; Part V [Italy - Rome]; Part VI [Italy - Rome and Reggio Emilia]; Epilogues [Paris and New York]; Notes and references and research post; art by divka

Title: A Job Well Done
Rating: PG13 for some swearing
Pairing/Characters: Dean/Castiel, John, Uriel, Sam, Anna, Jimmy, Bobby, God (really), a lot of other mentions.
Words: 2128
Summary: things don't go exactly smooth at the reception of Dean and Castiel's bonding ceremony. Blame a reintegrated Uriel and a not-very-enthusiast John Winchester.
Spoilers: for the whole of S4. Then... crack speculation I guess.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the crack, and not even the basic idea since it was a prompt.
A/N: written for the Dean/Castiel kink meme for the prompt Uriel and John Winchester: probably not the best guys to end up seated together at Dean & Castiel's wedding/bonding/commitment reception. Considering that God has a huge role in this, I probably went blasphemous. Also, crack. Using for sacred_20, sanctuary. It's set in a church, after all.

( Here's a thought: how about you telling me what you're going to do to keep your horny little feather-brained bastard of a brother away from my son? )

Title: I've Been Everywhere 14/14
Rating: NC17 (yes, yes, that's it.)
Pairing: full on Jack/Sawyer, finally ;)
Word counting: 5883 this part, 50000 ca overall.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine and all the folk songs used here are not mine. The places really exist and I've never been there.
Summary: Sawyer is a rambling musician during the Dust Bowl, Jack a former doctor from L.A. traveling with him.
Thanks to: elliotsmelliot for the great beta job for which I can't be grateful enough and to fosfomifira for the title. I'd still be searching for one otherwise.
A/N: the songs referenced are I Ain't Got No Home as usual and This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie in its original, uncensored version. ;) Then... ah, I can't believe this took six months to get done but well, it's here, it's done, I'm insanely proud of it and I just hope the end lives up to everything. Thanks so much again to elliotsmelliot whose help was truly priceless and to everyone who stuck with it until now. ♥ And... wow. It's done. Now I'll go have a toast to Woody Guthrie. ;)

Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, Part X, Part XI, Part XII, Part XIII

( He doesn’t know why he’s realizing it just now; it doesn’t feel like some passing attraction, not when that knot somewhere inside him is still there and at every touch of Sawyer’s fingertips he feels like he’s going to burst. )

A/N: The song referenced in the beginning and the end is My Oklahoma Home, a traditional from the time which I only have by Springsteen and maaaybe Pete Seeger but I'm sure there are older version. The girl with whom Jack dances is the one from The Hunting Party which here is Gabriella instead of Gabriela because Gabriela in Italy does not exist. It's with two ls, dammit. The other two songs are Old Dan Tucker and Chicken Reel, which you can find done by a bunch of people and which are actually the same tunes in the dancing scene of The Grapes of Wrath, but I chose that stuff not consciously. Then I found out and had a laugh. And that'd be it. Next chapter (and last) should be out tomorrow or the day after at latest and it features the porn. Sorry for the wait. ;)

Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, Part X, Part XI, Part XII, Part XIV

( “What fun. You got a first class bitch, I had the most amazing girl and mine is dead and yours has your money. Ain’t this just a fun world?” )

By the way: this is the last really gen one. Slashing somehow begins next chapter.

A/N: The song referenced in the beginning and the end is Do Re Mi by Woody Guthrie (you can also find an excellent John Mellencamp cover).

Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, Part X, Part XI, Part XIII, Part XIV

( See, Jack won’t ever, ever tell Sawyer or anyone because he just doesn’t talk about his old man to anyone as a rule, but before they found him dead in some alley in Salinas some fifteen years ago with a suspiciously empty bottle of whisky by his body, he had a thing for gambling that was second just to the thing he had for drinking. )

A/N: Sawyer's quote about folk music being basically stealing was half stolen from a Pete Seeger interview but I figured he'd know best. The song of the title of the chapter and the one referenced at the beginning is Philadelphia Lawyer by Woody Guthrie. Also, I didn't come up with the way to cheat at roulette Jack uses here, it's all on Wikipedia.

Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, Part VII, Part VIII, Part IX, Part X, Part XII, Part XIII, Part XIV

( Firstly, I find that you can actually play the piano and then I find out that you’re also a professional gambler? What’ll be the next, that you won the Nobel prize for literature? )

Exam done, I've got two weeks before the last one, and I'm not even as sleep deprived as I should be. Which means I'll go on with this and tomorrow I'm writing for some of the birthday fics I owe.

A/N: okay, sorry if this gets long. First: you remember that poll re Jack's singing/dancing abilities? This is half of the reason. Then: the songs referenced here are all traditionals except for Love in Vain by Robert Johnson (there's also a version by the Rolling Stones) and then this song by Woody Guthrie called The Company Doctor whose lyrics you can find all over the place but which I don't have and couldn't find, so I guess they are just around and that if it ever was some actual song he never recorded it, but it was so perfect that I had it in anyway. And that'd be all.
