24. Small Town
[Sports Night || Dan/Casey, Casey/Sally Sasser, Dan/Bobby Bernstein]
Welcome to Port Bowmore, Nova Scotia. Population 700.
Dan and Casey, roommates since college, co-manage the town's sporting goods store. Dan (who is not-so-secretly in love with Casey) spends most of his time hunting the local longshoremen. Casey (who is very secretly in love with Dan) is sleeping with Sally Sasser, the town's ambulance chasing lawyer. When Bobby Bernstein (genderswapped in this story) comes to town to recruit Dan for a GM position at SportChek in Halifax, Casey has to confront his feelings for Dan, or lose him to the 'big city'.
27. Crossroads (tentative)
[Transformer || Starscream, Thundercracker, Megatron, Skywarp, Skyfire, cameos by Wheeljack and Jazz]
Warnings: Realistic child abuse (including their inability to tell what is over-sharing), historically-accurate attitudes, Ojibwe, twist ending that may be squicky, and Starscream
Seekers are human living with abusive father and city cop Megatron in 1935, until he crosses the line and does an unforgivable thing that nearly kills Starscream (on top of being, y'know, unforgivable.) Thundercracker steals Megatron's car, coat, money and children, and drives until he can't see straight. He can't sleep, though, and meets someone who may be the Devil or may just be a crazy dude . The stranger gives TC his (ugly) hat, promising it will bring luck. In the morning, they make it to a small town, sell the car, and buy train tickets to Detroit. On the train, they meet Skyfire, who is either a really nice guy or an angel sent to help them. Three nervous breakdowns later, they arrive in Detroit and set camp at a cheap hotel. Megatron tracks them down easier than they thought (turns out Starscream is kind of memorable). Before he can find them, though, he gets killed in a mugging-gone-wrong while his children watch in a stroke of the Devil's own luck. The Devil returns that night to reclaim his hat and inform TC that yes, the mugging-gone-wrong was not coincidence, and in ten years TC will pay the price for such luck. TC is telling all this to his infant son on the eve of the ten year anniversary, believing he's going to die the next day.
31. Driving Around Chasing Stars (tentative title is currently very tentative!)
[NCIS || Tim McGee/Tony DiNozzo]
Warnings: consensual sex between a sixteen year old and a twenty-one year old.
High School AU. In which Tim McGee is given the car of his dreams, crashes a college party, watches his father go to war and meets cocky college senior Tony DiNozzo.
38. Lay Flowers on My Yesterdays (tentative)
[Marvel 1610: Ultimates || Stephanie (Steve) Rogers/Gail Richards]
Warnings: Violence, Genderswap, non-explicit Femslash.
Captain America, the hero of WWII, is a national icon who disappeared in the North Atlantic and was declared KIA. What few know is that the hero was really a heroine named Stephanine Rogers, who masqueraded as a man in order to fight. She awakes in modern times and must evade SHIELD agents while dealing with a government that's erased her existence, maintaining her gender identity and facing the loss of everything she's ever known.
43. Dancing in the Dark (tentative)
[Star Trek 2009 RPF || Chris Pine/Anton Yelchin is the main pairing. Also heavy on the Zach Quinto/Zoe Saldana. Bruce Greenwood/John Cho is a minor pairing, and there are various incarnations among Zach, Karl, Eric, Zoe, and Anton. Simon Pegg also has a little cameo with Zach/Zoe.]
Warnings: Lots of D/s. Pain play, bloodplay, rough sex, and some very limited discussion of child molestation/abuse (not a focus of the story).
This is a vampire AU set in the present day. Karl and his three children (the vampires he's turned) Eric, Zoe, and Anton live in a house in the New York suburbs along with Bruce and his childe John. Zach, Karl's sire, also plays heavily in the story. The focus is mostly on Anton, who's only been a vampire for three years, and his burgeoning relationship with a mortal (Chris Pine). Chris introduces Anton to BDSM (Anton subs) and ends up moving in with the vampires. It's sort of a vampire coming-of-age story that focuses on power play, control, and mortality. And there's a bit more porn than plot, with heavy D/s themes and the like.
76. Buckaroo Zelenka and the Atlantis Cavaliers
[SGA/Buckaroo Banzai fusion || McKay/Sheppard]
Radek Zelenka, known to the world as Buckaroo Zelenka, formed the Zelenka Institute for Aerodynamics, Engineering and Military Planning, to which he gathered some of the worlds finest scientists and thinkers to come work with him. He vowed not only to enhance mankind's understanding of the universe, but to directly oppose Acastus Kolya and his Genii Liberation Front, the terrorist behind the destruction of Prague.
John Sheppard, former US Air Force pilot and closet mathematician, found a home at the Institute, a family in the members of his strikeforce team: Teyla Emmagen and Ronon Dex, and friends he'd give his life for, in the Atlantis Cavaliers.
Rodney McKay had once been considered the smartest man in the world, until a tragic mistake made him persona non gratis. For years he disappeared into a self-imposed exile, before exploding back onto the world stage as the designer of the video game, Stargate, with an AI system that suddenly had everyone seeking him out -- including the Genii.
Who is TOD, and why is he stalking Jeannie Miller?
It's Strikeforce 'Team Pretty' to the rescue, but will they get there in time?
83. Pandemonium
[Bleach || Shunsui/Nanao, Toushirou/Momo]
Warnings: Violence
With the world reeling from a devastating war and an influx of malignant spirits and monsters, Gotei Enterprises has stepped in to clean up the manmade mess -- for a price. Humans, whose genes were altered by the combination of bio-chemistry and nuclear warfare, are deployed the world over: Hunters whose specialized talents enable them to move in and out of society sent to not only hunt those humans using their gifts for ill, but the things that go bump in the night.
Shunsui Kyouraku and Nanao Ise are premiere hunters sent to Paris where shadows are long and something is hunting the city’s denizens. With Momo Hinamori and Toushirou Hitsugaya shortly following to provide assistance, it doesn’t take them long to discover that Paris isn’t quite as idealistic as it seems. With the team separated, they quickly realize that they are not the only ones doing the hunting… and they are each other’s best chance for survival.
94. Memory & Dream
[NASCAR RPF || Kevin Harvick/Dale Earnhardt Jr]
What if fate dealt two legacies a different hand? Different dreams, different lives. The Artist and the Architect.
Ever wonder what might have happened if Richard Childress hadn’t spotted Kevin and gave him his big break, or if the pressure of racing as a legacy was just too much for Junior? We explore these possibilities as the boys start their “new” lives at San Francisco University in 1997.
101. [tentatively] È fatto
[Highlander || Kronos/Methos, implied OMC/Cassandra, implied OMC/Methos]
Warnings: death, allusions to non-con, and pre-planned murder
Kronos mourns the deaths of his family at the hands of his teacher's student, while in Seacouver Methos is unaware of the upcoming storm. As mortal blood spilled leads to Challenge, a hunt is begins as mortal blood recalls Immortal Blood and the death of a city cry for vengeance.
103. The Story of Evil
[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (/Vocaloid)]
The downfall of a tyrant prince. (Fusion between Tsubasa and the Daughter of Evil Vocaloid series.)
109. As the Black Cat Crosses (somewhat tentative)
[Bleach || Heavily hinted Yoruichi/Urahara]
Warnings: Violence, some implied sexuality
In recent years, a menace that have come to be known as Hollows have stalked the land. No one knows where they came from. Only that they devour people. While killing these beasts is not impossible, more effective techniques must be developed in order to handle the threat they pose. The ruling families of many provinces have put their magical engineers on this task, and the Shihouin are no exception.
The Urahara are known even outside the province of their employ for their engineering feats. They have even cultivated a friendly relationship with the ruling family. Kisuke, the son of the lead engineer, has an especially close relationship with the Shihouin heiress, Yoruichi, having grown up in her company.
Yoruichi, ever the helpful friend to Kisuke, decides to secretly procure a Hollow for his research; having a Hollow on family grounds is in no way officially sanctioned. But neither one of them is a big proponent of following all the rules. And in the end, if it helps, what is the harm in it?
But the harm is made clear when the visiting lord Aizen Sousuke discovers this Hollow and levies an accusation that Kisuke and his father are the creators. Justice is swift and merciless in Shihouin territory, and Yoruichi must either find evidence of her friend's innocence or help him escape before it's too late.
