Crossover with The Sixth Sense.
No one suspects Arthur. He’s too practical, too organized, too sensible to believe in the supernatural.
Based on the kink meme prompt: Arthur’s real name is Cole Sear.

Derek explained the situation as clearly as he could while leaving out his own relationship with the boys, the alcohol at the party, and the fact they knew Jackson was responsible. Or that any werewolves were involved. Or that Stiles had turned out to be such a responsive little perv.
College AU complete with fake boyfriends.
“Eames, I don’t know what dictionary you’re working out of, but my definition of ‘favor’ does not entail asking someone you despise to play escort to your family’s Christmas party.”
Eames glares at him. “I’m not asking you to play escort, merely be my date.”
Jeff turns into a kitten. Very cute, but definitely chatfic, so don’t read if you’re not into that.

Around the third post-game interview in a row that Jonny brings Patrick up for absolutely no reason but his own, Patrick realizes Tazer’s in full-on, gay-ass love with him.
In which much ado is made about possibly innocuous line-changes, boys are dumb, and Jonathan Toews attempts to woo Patrick Kane via signed copies of Twilight.
In this AU, Patrick Kane has to quit hockey at 14 when his parents can’t afford to pay for it anymore. When the series begins, he’s living in Chicago and working at a CVS, earning (barely) enough money to make it through school and pay for his apartment. He still loves hockey, so when Jonathan Toews walks into his store one night, he recognizes him.
This series is amazing. Wonderful. Awesome. Lovely writing, great characterization, nice attention to detail. The slow build of Jon and Pat’s relationship is great.
The changes in Pat’s life that make this story AU have changed his personality in clear ways, but he’s still recognizably Pat Kane in other ways. One of the things I like about the series (and which becomes explicit later on) is the contrast between the ways Pat is different, and Jon isn’t, since his story hasn’t really changed.
This series is not yet complete, but each story stands well on its own. (I read the first story before the second was posted, and it wasn’t clear to me that the story was only the first in the series–though I was incredibly happy to find out that it was!)
Wherein Sidney Crosby gets laid, and Russian diplomacy saves the day.
On the one hand, the Russian hockey players in this story are not very believable. On the other hand, they are very funny. It’s a good trade-off if you’re willing to suspend your disbelief.
The one thing I wasn’t happy about was the writing. It’s not terrible, but there’s something about the way the characters talk without ever really saying what they mean–without ever really communicating anything at all–that got on my nerves. I still like the story, though, and it’s something that might not even be a problem for most people.
Modern AU. Merlin, a diabetic, is stuck in an elevator with Arthur when he goes into insulin shock. After that, he can’t get rid of him. The details about what it might be like to live with diabetes seemed accurate to my very limited knowledge, and they made the story more believable and far more interesting.
I hope very much that this is going to be finished. I like the portrayals of Felix and Mildmay, and I like the OFC, who I think is remarkably like a female character Monette would have written.
We’d been living out in the country for the better part of an indiction before Felix started to show serious signs that he was bored to tears. I was actually kind of liking the peace and quiet, but I guess I should’ve known that couldn’t last long.
Worth reading even incomplete. Gen so far, het probably to come. Quite funny in places, too.
My Chemical Romance
Gerard and Mikey, dealing with their issues. Some unrequited Frank/Gerard that is resolved in the sequel, Knocing Around the Prickly Pear (10,205 words). The sequel is good, but the first story is better.
