2. Kris Allen signs up for Theater 101 because it’s the only open course that fits his schedule. It’s not long before the professor learns what Kris has always known: he sucks at acting. Kris is handed over to the not so tender mercies of TA, Adam Lambert, who teaches Kris about acting, and a whole lot more.
3. Single dad Kris Allen finally bows to the inevitable and hires a nanny to help him take care of his daughter/son.

4. When photographs of Kris Allen kissing another man are posted on-line he refuses to deny that he is gay.

5. Kris Allen is forced to approach Adam Lambert, King of the Vampires in Los Angeles, California to request a favor.

6. Faced with bankruptcy, Kris Allen needed a husband - fast. But despite his advertisement, his only candidate was Adam Lambert. Their marriage would be a business arrangement, nothing more.

7. Adam Lambert has to find a husband, but where can he find the perfect man? He has to be attractive, kind, a good conversationalist . . . and most important, he has to accept him as he is: devilishly handsome, charming and, as far as anyone knows, poor as a church mouse! If the high society discovers his hidden wealth, he'll never find the right husband.
Adam's heart races when he first lays eyes on Kris Allen. He is everything he desires - and more - but Adam is caught in his own trap. Believing that Adam needs to marry into wealth, Kris rejects all his advances, certain he would never marry a poor man like him. As they play out a game of cat and mouse, can Adam convince Kris that he is the man he wants - and that Adam is the husband Kris deserves?

Kris Allen is living with his roommate Danny Gokey, and can't remember a thing before the last eight years. Then one day a stranger turns up at the bar he works at and claims to know him. Kris is eager to know his past, but Danny won't let Kris remember! misura (fanfic - completed)
12. Rancher Kris Allen is tired of being lonely and having nobody but the horses for company. A friend of his mentions a mail order companion service to him and on a whim, he decides to try it.

The situation is complicated due to a past relationship (not necessarily sexual) with Adam.
16. Adam and Kris are actors hired on a Daytime Drama. Adam's character is considered straight, but is actually gay and unwilling to face his true sexually. In real life Adam is gay. Kris' character is gay, but in real life Kris is straight.

Extra hours of rehearsing and playing scenes together on the show bring about an epiphany for both Adam and Kris.

He meets ranch foreman Kris Allen, who shares a cabin with his “wife”. Adam and Kris share some fun and some hilarious times as Kris teaches Adam the so called "ropes" of ranching, and helps Adam deal with the guests and their requests and desires for Adam and other employees.
Adam falls in love with Kris, but refuses to make a move on him because he believes Kris to be married. Kris isn’t sure how to admit his own feelings to Adam, or to tell him that he’s been lying - he isn’t really married, only pretending because prior management required the foreman to be married to discourage guests and foreman from mingling.
18. Five years have gone by since Kris Allen won American Idol, and Kris's label has dropped him. He is out of work and has lost his apartment. Adam Lambert discovers Kris playing at a local club in LA. They have been out of touch for a long time and Kris tells Adam about the hard times he's fallen on. Adam tells Kris he can stay with him until he gets back on his feet, but can he hide the feelings he thought he’d buried years ago?
19. Adam still has feelings for Kris even though it's been years since Idol. When he finds out Kris is divorced and bisexual, he wonders if it's the right time to tell Kris how he feels.

20. Kris is looking for a job, and finds one as a keyboardist on a tour with a group of three singers/drag queens. He finds himself helping out the 'girls' (who are a foot taller than him, and more muscled, and stronger to boot!) by carrying their bags, finding their costumes, getting the gas, etc. The 'girls' love their little southern sidekick . . . although, they aren't too sure if Kris knows they're not female (he keeps opening doors!).
But when Kris starts to fall for Adam, hijinks ensue as Adam tries to be the 'girl' in the relationship . . . at least until everyone figures out what makes them all happy. house_of_lantis (fanfic)
21. Brad (a performer on the brink of his next big break, fresh from a messy break-up, and wanting nothing more than a vacation from the drama of WeHo) and Kris (in a messy breakup by avoidance with his girlfriend Katy, an idealist singer/songwriter, looking for a fresh start) meet up accidentally and decide to switch lives for a while.
Except Adam wants to make up with Brad, or at least be friends, and Kris is there so yeah . . . awkward? But Adam's cute and when Adam decides to show Kris around WeHo, and falls in love with the tiny guy from Arkansas, Kris thinks maybe the whole glitter stalker guy isn't so bad either. And Brad? Oh he's doing fine . . . he really likes watching Kris's neighbor Cale.

23. Kris Allen thought he knew Adam Lambert, a charming, rakish playboy who was used to men being served to him on a silver platter. In Adam’s eyes Kris was just his utterly efficient, slightly uptight assistant.
Until Kris nearly lost the thing that mattered most to him, and unexpectedly Adam was there to help: he was prepared to marry him! But the catch . . . Adam wanted this convenient marriage to keep Kris not only as his trusty assistant, but also to warm his bed.
24. Though he's super-rich and super-eligible, marriage hasn't been on Adam Lambert's agenda. Instead the handsome tycoon is focused on personal revenge - and Kris Allen, his sworn enemy's son, is central to his plan. Kris will pay for his fraudster father's sins. Adam will ruthlessly seduce him, bed him and discard him....
But when Adam's desire for Kris becomes very real and very strong, one night is not enough. However, making Kris his willing husband might just satisfy his need for vengeance.... adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
25. Kris Allen is under a lot of stress - finishing his album and doing interviews and photo shoots and radio promos - and the more responsibilities that build up, the more control he tries to exert. Until the day Kris meets Adam Lambert, and the soft command of Adam’s voice takes the weight off of Kris’ shoulders for one blissful night. Kris thinks one night isn’t enough, but can he accept the peace he found with Adam on a permanent basis?
26. Adam Lambert and Kris Allen had been in love once, but that was years ago. When they meet up again Kris is determined to maintain a distance between them; Adam is equally determined to win Kris back. kradambomb (fanfic)

28. After 25 long years of silence about it, Kris Allen's parents tell him he has a long lost twin brother somewhere far away from Arkansas. Kris decides to go look for him and finds him in LA, together with his very handsome boyfriend Adam Lambert. Kris doesn't let his brother know of his appearance, but he does try to get closer to Adam.
Things get awkward when Kris falls for Adam. After a while Kris has enough of his little game and confesses to Adam who he really is. Who will Adam choose? His old boyfriend, or his (almost) identical twin brother, who, Adam has to admit, is a lot nicer than his current boyfriend.
29. Kris Allen didn't think his life was supposed to go this way. He went to church on Sunday, he helped him Mama at bake sales, and even if there was that one time he tried pot at college, there was just not a lot of rationale for why his life became so... universally odd. But one late-night run to the 7-11 to pick up dinner and a pint of ice cream for his ex-girlfriend (seriously, he gets dumped and still needs to be the shoulder she cries on? that should have been his first clue....) and then with a beam of light he's on a journey half way across the universe with a sparkly alien who intends to make Kris his mate. Arthur Dent has nothing on this romance.
30. Adam Lambert is a warrior King with a penchant for rhinestones and white leather, on a planet where battles for power are played out not on the battlefield but through singing competitions. Kris Allen is the baker and chef on a space ship who are exploring different worlds, much like that funny television show from the 20th and 21st centuries. Except, Kris's crew search the universe for new flavors and culinary finds. Who knew that singing while picking Royal berries was going to cause such an international incident? Kris hopes Katy understands that he has to divorce her and become consort to a guy for the sake of diplomacy and culinary evolution. Yeah, he doesn't think so either....
31. Adam Lambert rejected a recently-divorced Kris Allen. Then he might have ran away to Europe for a month. And maybe found himself on the cover of a few magazines for some less-than-stellar stuff, but it was a less-than-stellar month. But he's back now, he's willing to be a man. He's willing to be the man Kris wants to marry, or whatever it is that Kris wants. But it looks like Adam has competition. Since Kris seems to have run into his ex's sympathetic and fishnet-clad arms! Doh! Now Adam has to try and win back Kris's trust and try and avoid more scandal when he can.
32. Kris Allen is a political science major on a trip to the desert with his study abroad group. An unexpected sandstorm leads to more danger and adventure than Kris could ever expect. Especially when he finds himself at the mercy of Sheikh Adam Lambert, but like any poly-sci major Kris isn't willing to let himself be steam rolled. Even if he allows the slippered shoes, and the bracelets, and fine, he'll put on the transparent pants but that's it! He's serious this time!
Sheikh 'Adam' Adammual is a leader bored with the luxuries afforded him. Finding the virginal Kris to be more than just entertainment, but the key to becoming a better leader...and also the key to Adam's heart.
33. In Ancient Scotland, headstrong and beautiful Scottish prince Kris Allen is abducted but does not easily surrender to Adam Lambert, the Duke of Claymore, known as "The Wolf". Adam’s very name strikes terror in the hearts of his enemies, but proud Kris will have nothing to do with the fierce warrior who holds him captive, this handsome rogue who taunts him with his blazing arrogance. Boldly he challenges Adam’s will. Soon he finds himself ensnared in a bewildering web...a seductive, dangerous trap of pride, passion, loyalty, and overwhelming love. Kris must fight between what he thinks is right and his growing love for his captor.
34. Adam Lambert is the bodyguard hired to protect Kris Allen, who makes it difficult by being clueless of the dangers around him, as well as accident prone. Can Adam find the man who wants Kris dead, or will his developing feelings for the other man get in the way? lady_michaelis (fanfic)
35. Okay, so Kris Allen is a Knight-level boyscout, looking to earn his last courage-badge before he turns 25, the last year they'll allow him to remain in the league. He just needs to do something amazing. The easiest way to earn a badge was princess-saving. Matt had saved princess Meg from the Anoopister monster and his other friend Cale had already saved his princess too! Kris's own princess, Katy, wasn't really the damsel in distress type, though. In fact, she had actually helped Kris earn his sword-fighting badge and wrestling-alligator badge, and stuff. So, Kris was left with the other option - defeating a dragon. The only dragon in the land is Adam Lambert. But Adam isn't a typical dragon and things get complicated, especially when Adam decides Kris is his treasure!
36. Kris Allen is like a baby seal. No, seriously. Adam Lambert has watched Kris go up to angry anti-gay protestors with bats to talk about peace and love and shit. Kris has climbed a 15 foot tree to get a kitten. He has even run into traffic to get a kid's wayward balloon. It's terrifying what his tiny southern friend will get himself into. ADAM CAN NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. So, he puts Kris on a leash. He did not take into consideration the consequences of this. kira_dark_wing (fanfic)
37. Adam Lambert's living an unusual life. As an openly out Rabbi-esque/spiritual leader/yoga-instructor Adam's pretty good with life and god and karma. Fate's got a funny sense of humor but Adam's confident he's settled his karamic debt. So when the guy of Adam's dreams shows up, the last thing he’s expecting is to become the spiritual counselor to the nicest, most adorable CHRISTIAN guy ever... who just happens to be confused about his sexuality.
38. Kris Allen is a personal trainer, recently relocated to LA, uncomfortable with his lack of 'LA style' or knowledge on what a 'scene queen' is. Adam Lambert is the slightly pudgy jaded singer needing to shed a few pounds for a role. It's a little embarrassing, okay a lot embarrassing, to have a cute totally earnest guy encouraging you while you're working off post-breakup Ben and Jerry pounds. But love doesn't come by having a 32 inch waist, yet it does come when one's heart is open.
39. Twelve year old Kris Allen is married off at midnight to the fifteen year old son of a sinister Duke , who is then exiled for an unpardonable indiscretion. Nine years later, Kris is living a peaceful existence, unaware that the disturbing dream he had as a child is in truth reality and that he is married. When Kris rescues, and falls in love with, a wounded duelist he has no idea that Adam Lambert, the handsome stranger with the blue eyes who sweeps him off his feet, is in truth his husband.
40. Kris Allen almost welcomed the news of the pirates boarding his ship. Anything would be better than joining the man that he'll be forced to wed - even death at the point of a sword. But as the handsome pirate captain undressed him with his flashing blue eyes, he began to tremble with new fears . . . and new desires. For he sensed a fury in this man he did not understand . . . and passions he knew he could not control.
41. Courting scandal since boyhood, free-spirited Adam Lambert vows there is just one way to save his childhood friend from a loveless marriage: to kidnap him! But Kris Allen is furious. So angry that he challenges him to take their assignation to its natural conclusion and seduce him. When his inexperienced attempt flares into intense passion, Adam is ruined…and hopelessly, unexpectedly, in love with Kris. Now the wild and willful Adam must convince Kris that they are a perfect match-in every way. tryfanstone (fanfic)
42. When Kris Allen's baby brother is kidnapped by Faeries and a changeling left in his place he must travel to the land of Faerie and save him before it's too late. Now Kris will learn just how far he'll go to save someone he cares about, and to find love with a young prince who might rather see him dead than let him touch his icy heart.
43. In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Kris Allen has no memory of the accident; he can only recall riding along the snow-wet road with his family. Then, in a blink, he finds himself watching as his own damaged body is taken from the wreck... In the hours that follow he watches his loved one's suffer while he lies in a coma, and his mind wanders back over his life - his family, his friends, and the boy he loves. He must now decide either to live or let go.
44. Kris Allen has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind his house. One blue/gray eyed wolf watches back. He feels deeply familiar to him, but he doesn't know why. Adam Lambert has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the boy he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Kris...until now. For Kris and Adam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Adam must now fight to stay human-and Kris must fight to keep him.
45. Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Kris Allen’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Adam Lambert shows up, claiming that Kris is a vampire prince by birth-and he’s his long-lost fiancé. Kris soon has to make an dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire prince. jcscribbles (fanfic)
46. Adam Lambert is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for his best friend Kris, a Vampire Prince. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to the very place where they're most in danger. . . . When they become enmeshed in a forbidden romance they must fight the very people who try to pull them apart.
47. When Adam Lambert left college early to hone his craft ‘on the job’, the classroom wasn’t the only thing he left behind. Over the years Kris Allen tried to forget the young man who’d stolen his heart and then left him without a word, but he’s never quite managed.
Years later, when Adam hasn’t yet made it big, and Kris is on the verge of giving up his dream of playing music and going back to school, they both try out for American Idol. Sparks fly when they are finally reunited during Hollywood Week, but Kris is afraid that Adam will break his heart once more. Can Adam convince Kris that he’ll never leave him again?
48. Adam Lambert has just been entrusted with the care of a baby he’d never met before when his brother’s ex-girlfriend has an audition [or reason of author’s choice] that requires her to leave town for a couple of weeks. Adam has no idea what he’s doing, but apparently Kris Allen is no stranger to babies. Adam convinces Kris to help him out for the next couple of weeks, but can he convince him to stick around once the baby’s back with its mother?
49. Rocker Adam Lambert needs a break from his hectic life, so one day he just disappears. He ends up someplace where no one would ever think to look for him . . . and meets Kris Allen. Kris still plays music, but he’s given up on his dream of making it big . . . until he meets Adam. Will Kris forgive Adam when he realizes that everything he knows about the other man is a lie? (Pure Country-ish)
50. Kris Allen is an incubus abandoned at birth and raised by humans, never knowing or understanding what he is. Until he saves a plucky young woman, Allison, from being raped one day. His messy kill alerts the local Fae authorities and suddenly Kris is pulled into the complex political world of the Fae.
Now Kris has an unexpected sidekick in Allison and a mysterious protector in the form of a werewolf fae named Adam Lambert.
Adam is the first person Kris has been able to sleep with and not wake up next to a corpse. Will Adam open himself up enough for Kris to be with him? Or will Kris be swayed by the human doctor for the Fae, Katy, who is teaching Kris how to control his powers enough to be with humans? (Lost Girl-ish)
51. Kris Allen has always been a little weary about the crazy fans, you know what he means. The kind that get twitter accounts just to lol to his @reply's. The real ... weirdo's that tattoo his face on their thighs, and when they meet him tell him more about his upcoming plans and whereabouts than Kris himself knows. (And it's not even a leak with his PA!) But this, even for LA, is a little much. When a fan leaves him a baby at his hotel room, not even he knows what will happen during the next ten days of his life. He totally didn't think he'd be getting accused of infidelity, or the divorce papers, or the fact people assumed he'd be a good father, or the fact that Adam Lambert (after much yelling at Kris for cheating on Katy...so unfair!) moves in with him to make sure Kris doesn't drown the kid in plaid (No, really Kris it could happen!). Or that life sometimes gives you something you never thought you'd need.
52. Kris Allen has come out. By which, I mean, he has had his good (albeit drunken) friend Allison announce Kris is gay at an award show. OMG his life is like that movie from the 90's with Tom Selleck. Except, Katy just hugs him and tells him she understands now about the dance moves, or how he sometimes likes extra attention paid to his ass during sex. His parents aren't any better, pushing Kris into getting married to a guy (what about Cale isn't he a nice boy?) when he isn't divorced yet. And right as the entire population is descending en mass to his front door, his best friend Adam Lambert is MIA/understanding/laughing his glittered butt off. He keeps trying to tell the world that he's not gay. Except somehow running after Adam, and doing other stuff like getting misty eyed on a national news show because Adam won't call him (what?! it was a very stressful day) or trying to avoid the press by living at Adam's for a week in hiding has everyone thinking other things. And Kris is starting to think it too... jcscribbles (fanfic)
53. Alone on a moonlit balcony at Houston's White Orchid Charity Ball, Kris Allen had no inkling of the extraordinary journey that would begin that night. Recently jilted by his fiancee for a blond(e) Italian heir(ess) - an insult delivered via a sleazy tabloid - Kris felt obliged to attend the ball, if only to uphold the sparkling, steadfast image of his family's "Beautiful Living" magazine. Very publicly UNengaged, Kris knew that certain socialites were already spinning nasty rumors. So why was billionaire Adam Lambert closing in on him with two crystal flutes and a bottle of champagne?
The former stableboy had received an ultimatum from his crusty uncle: Adam must bring home a spouse, soon, or see part of the business he had built go to an undeserving relative. Coolly analytical and arrestingly attractive, Adam had decided his spouse should be rich in his own right, meltingly beautiful, and a man of immeasurable character. In short, Kris Allen! But while champagne and a long, slow kiss sealed the bargain that solved both their dilemmas, neither imagined that a match made in logic's heaven could be headed straight for an unexpected once in a lifetime love.
54. Kris Allen's Christmas List
1. Get a roommate so he can afford his mortgage after broken engagement.
2. Check! His old family friend Adam Lambert needs a room. So what if he's been his longtime crush?
3. Ramp up his home-business success.

7. Wow. Kiss Adam. Get hot 'n' heavy under the tree one night!
8. Start to believe in holiday magic…
9. …until Adam breaks his heart again.
10. Make a new Christmas list. Well, maybe after unwrapping Adam just one more time….
55. Adam Lambert is a man renowned for being arrogant and seemingly emotionless, both in business and in his private life. He never combines work and pleasure, and steers clear of any guy who doesn't play by his rules…
Rule 1: He doesn't bed virgins.
Rule 2: He doesn't do Christmas.
Kris Allen loves the festive season, and he's as pure as the snow falling outside Adam's window. But by Christmas Day he might well have Adam breaking every rule in his book! lady_michaelis (fanfic)
56. Subject: Adam Lambert. Intense-and intensely sexy-businessman. He never mixes business and pleasure…until he meets his hunky new lawyer!
Object: Kris Allen. Hotshot attorney. Willing to do anything to save his family from ruin…no matter how devastating the cost!
Situation: They're fighting to rescue an economically beleaguered town…right before Christmas. They're also having mind-blowing sex that's so steamy they can hardly be in the same room without ripping off each other's clothes!
Unexpected maneuver: Adam discovers Kris betrayed him…in business and in pleasure. Only one victor will emerge in this new personal battle…unless the spirit of the holidays inspires them to find a way they can both win-over and over again….
57. Nobody in Good Riddance is wondering how world-class chef Kris Allen ended up running the local diner. No, but everybody's dying to know the identity of the mysterious, sexy stranger who's eyeing him like he's scrumptious crème brûlée…
Travel journalist Adam Lambert loves coming across the unusual-and the annual Good Riddance Christmoose Parade definitely fits the bill! But his biggest surprise is Kris! When they finally lure each other into bed, the sex is better than chocolate. Way better!
But Kris has a secret…and a complicated, dangerous past. Worse yet, when he discovers the truth about Adam, he might never be allowed to sample his delicious goods again. And with a man like Kris, one taste just isn't enough….
58. Unexpectedly homeless for the festive season and exhausted from transforming the penthouse of the hotel where he works into a dazzling winter wonderland, chambermaid Kris Allen secretly sleeps over. Woken by an outrageously sensual kiss, Kris feels his body come alive…until he realizes his seducer is Adam Lambert, his dangerously attractive new boss!
This Christmas, it's imperative that Adam's reputation appear spotless-but innocently enticing Kris is a temptation he can't resist! Their scorching chemistry leads to twelve nights of endless pleasure. But will it last once the decorations come down?
59. When renowned international playboy Adam Lambert invites shop assistant Kris Allen to join him for dinner, how can he refuse? After all, he's an ordinary guy and chances like this don't come around very often!
Throwing caution to the wind, unworldly Kris is completely at Adam's mercy before he knows it. He finds himself agreeing to be his "mistress" for Christmas…. But will an unexpected gift make this temporary festive arrangement last a lifetime?
60. Gay Mafia? It exists. Adam Lambert just happens to be the leader. When a cute young twink enters into the backroom of their meeting and sees something he shouldn't see, well Adam has no choice but to keep him, right? It doesn't hurt that Kris Allen is perfect, even if he has a horrible sense of direction. Except apparently, Kris works for the FBI. It might be a Romeo and Juliet fiasco, but Adam has the gay mafia backing him up on this and he always gets what he wants... even if that includes an IT intern who mostly knows how to make great coffee and look pitiful when he apologizes for the delay in customer service. nagaashi (fanfic)
61. Kris Allen is a black belt and can break cement blocks with his pinky finger; as such, he sees no issue walking around at night. But when he comes across a bad guy mugging a prostitute he does what needs to be done. Then he offers to buy the poor guy a coffee because he wants to help, and like his Mama taught him, even Jesus saw fit to be nice to Mary Magdalene.
Adam Lambert hates his life, or just the play he's in. He'd rather be doing another Debbie Does Dallas musical than his role as street walker #3. The only thing good about the role is this month's rent and the boots. Adam's a big guy and in his bigger-than-Elton's stiletto boots he maxes out about seven feet tall, and he feels awesome! The last thing he expects is for someone to try and mug him (like he really has room for a wallet in his hot pants!). He could take care of it, he grew up fat and faggy after all and knows a thing or two about fighting, but maybe it's not all bad to have a knight in shining armor once in a while. Actually, Adam could get used to this (it's even cute that Kris is afraid of spiders) - even if Kris needs to catch a clue and realize Adam isn't actually a hooker.
62. When Captain Adam Lambert captures an enemy spacecraft, he takes aboard a brown-eyed stranger who captures his heart and throws his well-ordered life into chaos. The heat they generate burns as brightly and naturally as the stars - until Kris Allen is stolen away by a merciless pirate who trades in lives, leaving Adam broken and haunted by his last, angry words to his lover. After five years of searching, Adam is finally united with Kris, only to find him dying, imprisoned by a strange, ring-bound enchantment that is slowly draining his soul. Removing the ring will mean his immediate death unless Adam can find a source of powerful, ancient magic.
63. Adam Lambert has a rule he won't break: Don't take anyone home. Kris Allen is trying to survive on the streets of LA with no money, no identity, and no friends. When Adam meets Kris, all thoughts of "safe" go flying out the window. He takes him home for the best sex of his life, not knowing that Kris is a sex slave on the run from a man who'll do anything to get him back.
64. As rakishly handsome as he was successful, attorney Adam Lambert was a "love 'em and leave 'em" kind of guy. Until Kris Allen, his long-lost love, suddenly appeared in his office-and turned his carefully crafted world upside down.
Kris had his reasons for leaving Adam years ago-reasons he'd never dreamed of sharing with him. But now the single dad needed his expert help to fight for what mattered most-his young son.
As his custody battle heated up, so did the still-blazing chemistry with Adam. Against Kris's best-laid plans, he fell hopelessly in love all over again. Only, this time, would he find the courage to stay?
65. A whopping ten-million-dollar inheritance should have been Kris Allen's dream come true. Instead, the money brought nothing but vultures looking for their share of the wealth. Fortunately for him, the generous gift also came with a rescuer: sexy billionaire Adam Lambert.
Instinct told Adam that the generous inheritance his father had given Kris for saving his son would send him running for help. His plan? To be Kris's "knight in shining armor" and show him how to toughen up. Whisking him off for a luxurious getaway-complete with a romantic dinner or two-was all part of the arrangement. But letting the considerate, passionate schoolteacher give him a lesson in love-and transform his heart-was not...
66. Kris Allen has done the math. This widowed father knows that his two wonderful young sons deserve all of his hardworking heart. Still, the handsome accountant can't help but notice the carefree new nanny...
But for Adam Lambert, family equals trouble. He is not going to follow in his mother's reckless footsteps, chasing romance no matter what the risk. The gorgeous nanny has his own career to consider, and Adam's adorable plaid-wearing employer is not part of his plan. The heart has its own logic, though, and with two adorable tykes to bind them, the calculus just may add up to love.
67. The Players:
1) Adam Lambert. Calculating entrepreneur. Avowed bachelor. He takes what he wants-in the boardroom and the bedroom!
2) Kris Allen. Emotionally invested in his family's business. About to enter into a business deal with Adam that will shock him on every level... And he'll love every minute of it.
The Situation: Dangerously hot, filled with steamy sexual tension and cold business machinations.
The Turning Point: Adam makes a critical error. And in the fallout, he realizes that he's lost far more than he gained-he's given up his one chance at happiness. He'd have to pull off the coup of a lifetime to earn Kris's trust-and love-again.
Then again, that's all part of the plan... adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
68. Kris Allen has his life perfectly on track. Education: check. Career: check. Marriage: soon-to-be checked. Has he missed anything? Yes, actually: Adam Lambert. Tall, blue-eyed, glam hottie. Check, check, check! The problem? He's just about to marry Adam's best friend. But that doesn't stop him and Adam from indulging in some incredibly perfect sex...
Hmm. With his careful life plan off track, Kris needs a new blueprint, and fast. And it just doesn't have room for Adam Lambert in it. Unless, of course, he has anything to say about it. Which he does-every time he lures Kris back to his bed!
69. "Hell on wheels…in bed" someone had written on Adam Lambert's business card. Now Adam's card rested with many other men's in the glass "booty"-all up for grabs by the dating pool in Kris Allen's office building.
Three dates! That's all Kris needed to write a sexy, juicy story on San Francisco hot spots for his online column. Was it fate he drew Adam's card?
The two of them had a history. Infatuation, wild sex, sneaking around-followed by a painful explosive breakup. But Kris was still hot for him six years later... And it was clear Adam felt the same. Could they have a shot at rewriting history?
70. What's a guy to do when he's secretly in love with a friend and he's married to someone else? He gets over it. That's what Kris Allen has done. Rather than lose his best bud Adam Lambert with an ill-timed, crazy confession of affection, he's taken the smart route. He's eased away from Adam. Just enough to get past the unrequited bits. And you know, it's working.
Until the day Adam announces he's now single. That's right. He's single. And he wants to hang out. With Kris. Get reconnected the way they used to be. Oh, this is so not good for Kris's equilibrium. Daily doses of Adam remind him of everything he loves about him. But if Adam's free...and Kris's free...well, maybe the time has come for one of those crazy confessions.
71. Is Kris Allen the only one on campus who doesn't know who Adam Lambert is? No big deal except that the bad-boy rock star gets a kick out of Kris's refusal to worship at his feet. And that seems to have provoked his undivided attention. Adam, the guy who gave new meaning to the phrase "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll." Adam, the guy who somehow becomes wedged between Kris and the past he's kept hidden for years.
It's up to this librarian to find out firsthand just how "bad" he really is. Because Kris' secret-and his growing feelings for a man who claims he's bent on redemption-depend on his turning out to be as good as he seems. Which is really, really good. firelit_dreams (fanfic - completed)
72. For sharp-tongued food critic Adam Lambert, the chance to spend a month in Kris Allen's kitchen to write an exposé is a journalistic dream come true. Surely Adam can find a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once he learns what really goes on at his trendy Los Angeles restaurant. But he never expected Kris to find out his most embarrassing secret: he has no idea how to cook.
Kris is not about to have his reputation burned by a critic who doesn’t even know the difference between poaching and paring. He’ll just have to give the tempting brunette a few private lessons of his own-teaching Adam what it means to cook with passion…and doing more with his hands than simply preparing sumptuous food.
73. Adam Lambert was not only commissioning Kris Allen to paint the portrait of his latest boy toy, he was also boldly trying to seduce Kris with his lethal charm. The rich and arrogant rock star didn't recognize Kris as the young man who'd given himself to Adam in innocence seven years ago. To him Kris had been a mere diversion. Kris longed to pay him back with interest for the pain Adam had caused him. But Kris tried instead to keep him at arm's length - to avoid battling himself, as well as Mr. Lambert. adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
74. When Kris Allen was hired as personal assistant to Adam Lambert, he was ready to resist him - if Kris' sensible suits, glasses and severe hairstyle didn't do it, then his cool, untouchable manner would. However, during a working weekend away, Adam started getting very personal with his assistant. Without his glasses and prim clothes, Kris felt naked - which suited Adam just fine!
75. The formidable Adam Lambert certainly had been deeply wronged in the past by Kris Allen's father - but it had been nothing to do with him; in fact Kris didn't even know what had happened. But Adam was determined to get his revenge, and Kris was his instrument: he had lost one husband; in Kris he was getting another - whether he liked it or not! The man was a devil; but for Kris there could be no escaping him.
76. Dare he strike a deal with this man? Kris Allen knew his father's career would be ruined unless he intervened--and swiftly. One simple, human error shouldn't be held against him, Kris decided. And he was sure his employer, the handsome dynamic Adam Lambert, would understand.... But Adam's hardheaded response shocked him. He would help Kris, on one condition: that he pretend to be his lover! Kris felt uneasy at the cold calculation behind his offer. And even more uneasy at how disturbingly attractive he found Adam. Yet Kris had no choice.
77. Seeing Adam Lambert again after five long years was almost more of a shock than the traffic accident that had left Kris Allen's brother in a coma. Why had Adam come? Instantly Kris relived the pain of loving him and losing him. But that was over now; he had his brother to think of. That was the most cruel irony of all, because for his brother's sake, Kris was forced to live with his husband again, pretending a love that didn't exist - except on Kris' side.
78. Adam Lambert was not a man to toy with. Kris Allen unleashed a storm when he set out to teach Adam a lesson. A storm with more fury than he'd ever expected. But Kris was tired of hearing about all the men his boss had affairs with, and so Kris announced to the newspapers that Mr. Lambert would finally be settling down and getting married. And the man? Kris himself! Hs little joke backfired, however. It wasn't too long before Kris began fervently wishing their mock engagement was a real one. micalaux (fanfic)
79. Kris Allen's arrival in Los Angeles was daunting. He'd been so delighted with the chance at a film role that his reception on the sound stage was a shock. Adam Lambert, the director, seemed convinced that Kris had landed the part by means other than his acting ability. Even worse, he doubted Kris' honesty! Initially, all Kris wanted was his approval of his acting. Then it became vital to have Adam respect him as a colleague and peer. For, foolishly, Kris found himself in love with a man who despised him!
80. When Adam Lambert discovered the true identity of Kris Allen, the "dreamy" man he had started seeing, he was furious. Kris had deliberately misled Adam! But Adam found he couldn't resist the power of Kris' charms for long. And Kris was intensely honest about his own attraction to Adam. Then Adam realized just how foolish he had been to let himself get involved with Kris. Handling his jealous temper was one difficulty. But suspecting that Kris was a married man set matters in an entirely different dimension!
81. Kris Allen had never met a man like Adam Lambert, so worldly, so handsome, so . . . passionate. And for Adam, it had been love at first sight - or so he claimed. But when Kris' family objected to Kris choosing Adam (over his on-again, off-again girlfriend), he rebelled. Kris was an adult, fully capable of making his own decisions, he shouted at his family on that final night. Within a week, Kris was committed to Adam and living in his Los Angeles home. The relationship started out fine - until [guy of your choice] appeared on the scene, and told Kris a few things about Adam . . . .
82. To be honest, Kris Allen couldn't blame 19E and the rest of his management for his current predicament. If he hadn't found famous performer Adam Lambert in his secluded Ozark cottage, Kris never would have fallen in love with Adam. But it was his label and management who was forcing him to stay in a loveless marriage. And it was his agent who led Adam to believe that Kris was happily married and a leech looking to grab onto someone famous in order to further his own career. Kris could fight 19E, but he could never erase Adam's contempt for him.
83. Adam Lambert is a huge rock star and he gets whatever or whoever he wants. His label and management consider him their cash cow and do whatever it takes to keep him happy. Kris Allen is new to the music industry and is finding it impossible to get a record deal. Kris meets Adam at some industry event [or event of author’s choice], and Adam decides that he wants Kris.
Kris refuses Adam’s advances, which only makes Adam even more determined to have him. Adam uses his influence with his record label to get them to offer Kris a record deal if he spends a 2 week vacation with Adam, after which Adam promises to stay out of Kris’ life. Except Adam falls in love with Kris, but he can’t tell him because of their deal.
Will Adam take the chance and tell Kris how he feels, or will Kris beat him to the punch?
84. Adam Lambert’s days of tabloid notoriety are behind him if he wants to keep his record contract. To complete his newly reformed image, his management wants him to settle down and get married. Adam refuses to even consider the idea until he meets his prospective husband, Kris Allen.
85. Adam Lambert left town for the bright lights of Hollywood to pursue his dreams, but now he’s home for a visit after his most recent break up [or reason of author’s choice]. Kris Allen had managed to bury his feelings for Adam when he left, but they return with a vengeance when he sees Adam again. Kris’ attempt to keep his feelings hidden fails, but to his surprise, Adam is interested in him, too. What will they do when it’s time for Adam to return to LA? (Shelter-esque)
86. Adam Lambert has been invited to his ex’s wedding. Because he refuses to let the cheating bastard think he cares, Adam replies as plus one. The only problem is that he isn’t currently seeing anyone, and there’s no way he’s showing up without a date. Kris Allen appears to be the answer to Adam’s temporary problem, except when the time comes for their fake relationship to end, will Adam be able to let him go? adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
87. Unable to make it on his music alone, Kris Allen takes a job as a personal assistant to the flamboyant, charismatic and infuriating glamrocker Adam Lambert. Working for Adam becomes a challenge in more ways than one when Kris finds himself attracted to the other man.
88. Kris Allen agrees to participate in a charity bachelor auction because it’s for a good cause, but eyebrows are raised when the infamous Adam Lambert bids on him. When Adam wins the bidding, though, Kris is less concerned with his reputation and more with his virtue. Will either come away intact? More importantly, by the time Adam's done with him, will Kris care? kradambomb (fanfic)
89. Kris Allen has moved to LA to pursue music. He works at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter [other similar place of author’s choice] during the day, and plays coffee houses, open mic nights and bars at night. Adam Lambert has had enough of so-called Christian do-gooders telling him he’s going to hell, so he wants nothing to do with seemingly goody-two-shoes Kris Allen who takes up residence in his apartment complex. Until he sees him playing at a bar one night. Will Kris and Adam be able to overcome their differences long enough to discover all the things they have in common? (Latter Days-esque)
90. Kris Allen was blissfully in love and looking forward to his happily ever after . . . until he found out that it was all a lie. Now, years later, Adam Lambert has come looking for Kris, and he’ll use whatever means necessary (blackmail, bribery, other method of author’s choice) to get Kris back. Is Kris doomed to a loveless marriage, or will he be able to forgive Adam and forge the future he’d once dreamt of?
91. Kris came home from a failed musical audition to a roommate who had just kicked him out of their apartment (and because Kris didn't have his name on the lease his stuff is in a big heap on the sidewalk and that's the short end of it) and tonight is his first night homeless. So, it's completely okay if he's huddled on a park bench trying not to cry. Was it so hard, he thought, to just have a home?
Adam wasn't really thinking about adopting a dog. It was a vague fancy for a bored rock star but whatever . . . until he comes across someone who fit his pet requirements: cute, small, and house-trained. With Kris living with him, Adam slowly comes to realize how alone he was and how nice his life is now (and he's so happy that Kris is easier to get through custom's than a dog). Unsurprisingly when the tabloids get pictures of Kris in a collar things get a little complicated and soon the love between a pet and his master become much more. kira_dark_wing (fanfic)
92. It's the early 50s, before rock-n-roll took over the world. Men in suits and hats, with a cigar and glass of gin in their hands. Kris Allen is a quiet kid, just new to town, trying to make a living any way he can, mostly by playing guitar in a seedy bar downtown. Only, he's not as young as people think, or as innocent. He's only been in town a few days when he gets cajoled into playing a game of pool for nickels with a few local fellows. Of course, he loses.
The owner of the Cadillac parked outside, a tall, dark haired handsome could-be film star of a man is watching. The man is passing through town, spreading a little money around while he's there. He's showing off, drinking too much (or so it seems), and corrupting the virtues of the local ladies (again, so it seems). After a week of publicly despising one another, and each building reputations as lousy shots (at pool) and even lousier at cards, they sit down at the table with three of the town's top citizens for a friendly (but not really) game of poker.
The three men have it worked out with Kris Allen that they are going to use him to rid Adam Lambert of every dollar in his wallet, every piece of jewelry he's wearing, and the flashy car parked outside. What the men didn't realize, until it was too late, was that Adam and Kris work (and so much more) together.
93. Kris caught the eye of the guy (tall, dark, and really cute) across the room and smiled, before blushing and looking away. He did it again, until finally the guy returned his smile. He rolled his wheelchair over and introduced himself. Adam returned the kindness and laughed. When asked what he was in for, Kris said it was all about god's plan but the doctor's said cancer. (Up to author if Adam has the same). Adam and Kris create a friendship and love that won't last long, but will be breathtaking while they have it. This is their story. [Rule reminder: The term ‘harlequin’ implies romance. Additionally, Harlequin fic most generally have a happy ending. Very angsty fic that doesn’t have a happily ever after for the boys, or fic that includes character death is probably not appropriate for this comm. Please keep this in mind should you choose to write this prompt. Thank you.] nagaashi (fanfic)
94. Kris Allen knew he was teetering on the edge of ruin. His father had staked his fortune, and his virginity, at the card table-and lost! To the most notorious gamester in town…
Adam Lambert had money, plenty of it, but it was a long time since he'd been considered a gentleman. Still, he never intended to pursue this debt. Until he met Kris Allen in the flesh-and began to wonder just how long his honor would hold out . . . scribblinlenore (fanfic)

7. Adam Lambert has to find a husband, but where can he find the perfect man?

23. Kris Allen thought he knew Adam Lambert, a charming, rakish playboy who was used to men being served to him on a silver platter. In Adam’s eyes Kris was just his utterly efficient, slightly uptight assistant.

29. Kris Allen didn't think his life was supposed to go this way. He went to church on Sunday, he helped him Mama at bake sales, and even if there was that one time he tried pot at college, there was just not a lot of rationale for why his life became so... universally odd. But one late-night run to the 7-11 to pick up dinner and a pint of ice cream for his ex-girlfriend (seriously, he gets dumped and still needs to be the shoulder she cries on? that should have been his first clue....) and then with a beam of light he's on a journey half way across the universe with a sparkly alien who intends to make Kris his mate.

31. Adam Lambert rejected a recently-divorced Kris Allen. Then he might have ran away to Europe for a month. And maybe found himself on the cover of a few magazines for some less-than-stellar stuff, but it was a less-than-stellar month. But he's back now, he's willing to be a man. He's willing to be the man Kris wants to marry, or whatever it is that Kris wants. But it looks like Adam has competition. Since Kris seems to have run into his ex's sympathetic and fishnet-clad arms! Doh! Now Adam has to try and win back Kris's trust and try and avoid more scandal when he can.

35. Okay, so Kris Allen is a Knight-level boyscout, looking to earn his last courage-badge before he turns 25, the last year they'll allow him to remain in the league. He just needs to do something amazing. The easiest way to earn a badge was princess-saving. Matt had saved princess Meg from the Anoopister monster and his other friend Cale had already saved his princess too! Kris's own princess, Katy, wasn't really the damsel in distress type, though. In fact, she had actually helped Kris earn his sword-fighting badge and wrestling-alligator badge, and stuff. So, Kris was left with the other option - defeating a dragon. The only dragon in the land is Adam Lambert. But Adam isn't a typical dragon and things get complicated, especially when Adam decides Kris is his treasure!
36. Kris Allen is like a baby seal. No, seriously. Adam Lambert has watched Kris go up to angry anti-gay protestors with bats to talk about peace and love and shit. Kris has climbed a 15 foot tree to get a kitten. He has even run into traffic to get a kid's wayward balloon. It's terrifying what his tiny southern friend will get himself into. ADAM CAN NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. So, he puts Kris on a leash. He did not take into consideration the consequences of this. kira_dark_wing (fanfic)

38. Kris Allen is a personal trainer, recently relocated to LA, uncomfortable with his lack of 'LA style' or knowledge on what a 'scene queen' is. Adam Lambert is the slightly pudgy jaded singer needing to shed a few pounds for a role. It's a little embarrassing, okay a lot embarrassing, to have a cute totally earnest guy encouraging you while you're working off post-breakup Ben and Jerry pounds. But love doesn't come by having a 32 inch waist, yet it does come when one's heart is open.

Nine years later, Kris is living a peaceful existence, unaware that the disturbing dream he had as a child is in truth reality and that he is married. When Kris rescues, and falls in love with, a wounded duelist he has no idea that Adam Lambert, the handsome stranger with the blue eyes who sweeps him off his feet, is in truth his husband.
40. Kris Allen almost welcomed the news of the pirates boarding his ship. Anything would be better than joining the man that he'll be forced to wed - even death at the point of a sword.

For he sensed a fury in this man he did not understand . . . and passions he knew he could not control.
41. Courting scandal since boyhood, free-spirited Adam Lambert vows there is just one way to save his childhood friend from a loveless marriage: to kidnap him! But Kris Allen is furious. So angry that he challenges him to take their assignation to its natural conclusion and seduce him.

43. In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Kris Allen has no memory of the accident; he can only recall riding along the snow-wet road with his family. Then, in a blink, he finds himself watching as his own damaged body is taken from the wreck... In the hours that follow he watches his loved one's suffer while he lies in a coma, and his mind wanders back over his life - his family, his friends, and the boy he loves. He must now decide either to live or let go.
44. Kris Allen has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind his house. One blue/gray eyed wolf watches back. He feels deeply familiar to him, but he doesn't know why.

They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to the very place where they're most in danger. . . . When they become enmeshed in a forbidden romance they must fight the very people who try to pull them apart.
47. When Adam Lambert left college early to hone his craft ‘on the job’, the classroom wasn’t the only thing he left behind. Over the years Kris Allen tried to forget the young man who’d stolen his heart and then left him without a word, but he’s never quite managed.
Years later, when Adam hasn’t yet made it big, and Kris is on the verge of giving up his dream of playing music and going back to school, they both try out for American Idol.

48. Adam Lambert has just been entrusted with the care of a baby he’d never met before when his brother’s ex-girlfriend has an audition [or reason of author’s choice] that requires her to leave town for a couple of weeks. Adam has no idea what he’s doing, but apparently Kris Allen is no stranger to babies.

50. Kris Allen is an incubus abandoned at birth and raised by humans, never knowing or understanding what he is. Until he saves a plucky young woman, Allison, from being raped one day. His messy kill alerts the local Fae authorities and suddenly Kris is pulled into the complex political world of the Fae.
Now Kris has an unexpected sidekick in Allison and a mysterious protector in the form of a werewolf fae named Adam Lambert.
Adam is the first person Kris has been able to sleep with and not wake up next to a corpse. Will Adam open himself up enough for Kris to be with him? Or will Kris be swayed by the human doctor for the Fae, Katy, who is teaching Kris how to control his powers enough to be with humans? (Lost Girl-ish)
51. Kris Allen has always been a little weary about the crazy fans, you know what he means. The kind that get twitter accounts just to lol to his @reply's. The real ... weirdo's that tattoo his face on their thighs, and when they meet him tell him more about his upcoming plans and whereabouts than Kris himself knows. (And it's not even a leak with his PA!) But this, even for LA, is a little much. When a fan leaves him a baby at his hotel room, not even he knows what will happen during the next ten days of his life. He totally didn't think he'd be getting accused of infidelity, or the divorce papers, or the fact people assumed he'd be a good father, or the fact that Adam Lambert (after much yelling at Kris for cheating on Katy...so unfair!) moves in with him to make sure Kris doesn't drown the kid in plaid (No, really Kris it could happen!). Or that life sometimes gives you something you never thought you'd need.
52. Kris Allen has come out. By which, I mean, he has had his good (albeit drunken) friend Allison announce Kris is gay at an award show. OMG his life is like that movie from the 90's with Tom Selleck. Except, Katy just hugs him and tells him she understands now about the dance moves, or how he sometimes likes extra attention paid to his ass during sex. His parents aren't any better, pushing Kris into getting married to a guy (what about Cale isn't he a nice boy?) when he isn't divorced yet. And right as the entire population is descending en mass to his front door, his best friend Adam Lambert is MIA/understanding/laughing his glittered butt off. He keeps trying to tell the world that he's not gay. Except somehow running after Adam, and doing other stuff like getting misty eyed on a national news show because Adam won't call him (what?! it was a very stressful day) or trying to avoid the press by living at Adam's for a week in hiding has everyone thinking other things. And Kris is starting to think it too... jcscribbles (fanfic)
53. Alone on a moonlit balcony at Houston's White Orchid Charity Ball, Kris Allen had no inkling of the extraordinary journey that would begin that night. Recently jilted by his fiancee for a blond(e) Italian heir(ess) - an insult delivered via a sleazy tabloid - Kris felt obliged to attend the ball, if only to uphold the sparkling, steadfast image of his family's "Beautiful Living" magazine. Very publicly UNengaged, Kris knew that certain socialites were already spinning nasty rumors. So why was billionaire Adam Lambert closing in on him with two crystal flutes and a bottle of champagne?
The former stableboy had received an ultimatum from his crusty uncle: Adam must bring home a spouse, soon, or see part of the business he had built go to an undeserving relative. Coolly analytical and arrestingly attractive, Adam had decided his spouse should be rich in his own right, meltingly beautiful, and a man of immeasurable character. In short, Kris Allen! But while champagne and a long, slow kiss sealed the bargain that solved both their dilemmas, neither imagined that a match made in logic's heaven could be headed straight for an unexpected once in a lifetime love.
54. Kris Allen's Christmas List
1. Get a roommate so he can afford his mortgage after broken engagement.
2. Check! His old family friend Adam Lambert needs a room. So what if he's been his longtime crush?
3. Ramp up his home-business success.
4. Oops. He works so much that Adam presents him with a 12 Days of Christmas charity auction dating package-just to get him out of his hair!
5. Okay, get a move on with twelve surprisingly fun dates.
6. Hmm. Start to see Adam as pretty hunky…and living under the same roof.
7. Wow. Kiss Adam. Get hot 'n' heavy under the tree one night!
8. Start to believe in holiday magic…
9. …until Adam breaks his heart again.
10. Make a new Christmas list. Well, maybe after unwrapping Adam just one more time….
55. Adam Lambert is a man renowned for being arrogant and seemingly emotionless, both in business and in his private life. He never combines work and pleasure, and steers clear of any guy who doesn't play by his rules…
Rule 1: He doesn't bed virgins.
Rule 2: He doesn't do Christmas.
Kris Allen loves the festive season, and he's as pure as the snow falling outside Adam's window. But by Christmas Day he might well have Adam breaking every rule in his book! lady_michaelis (fanfic)
56. Subject: Adam Lambert. Intense-and intensely sexy-businessman. He never mixes business and pleasure…until he meets his hunky new lawyer!
Object: Kris Allen. Hotshot attorney. Willing to do anything to save his family from ruin…no matter how devastating the cost!
Situation: They're fighting to rescue an economically beleaguered town…right before Christmas. They're also having mind-blowing sex that's so steamy they can hardly be in the same room without ripping off each other's clothes!
Unexpected maneuver: Adam discovers Kris betrayed him…in business and in pleasure. Only one victor will emerge in this new personal battle…unless the spirit of the holidays inspires them to find a way they can both win-over and over again….
57. Nobody in Good Riddance is wondering how world-class chef Kris Allen ended up running the local diner. No, but everybody's dying to know the identity of the mysterious, sexy stranger who's eyeing him like he's scrumptious crème brûlée…
Travel journalist Adam Lambert loves coming across the unusual-and the annual Good Riddance Christmoose Parade definitely fits the bill! But his biggest surprise is Kris! When they finally lure each other into bed, the sex is better than chocolate. Way better!
But Kris has a secret…and a complicated, dangerous past. Worse yet, when he discovers the truth about Adam, he might never be allowed to sample his delicious goods again. And with a man like Kris, one taste just isn't enough….
58. Unexpectedly homeless for the festive season and exhausted from transforming the penthouse of the hotel where he works into a dazzling winter wonderland, chambermaid Kris Allen secretly sleeps over. Woken by an outrageously sensual kiss, Kris feels his body come alive…until he realizes his seducer is Adam Lambert, his dangerously attractive new boss!
This Christmas, it's imperative that Adam's reputation appear spotless-but innocently enticing Kris is a temptation he can't resist! Their scorching chemistry leads to twelve nights of endless pleasure. But will it last once the decorations come down?
59. When renowned international playboy Adam Lambert invites shop assistant Kris Allen to join him for dinner, how can he refuse? After all, he's an ordinary guy and chances like this don't come around very often!
Throwing caution to the wind, unworldly Kris is completely at Adam's mercy before he knows it. He finds himself agreeing to be his "mistress" for Christmas…. But will an unexpected gift make this temporary festive arrangement last a lifetime?
60. Gay Mafia? It exists. Adam Lambert just happens to be the leader. When a cute young twink enters into the backroom of their meeting and sees something he shouldn't see, well Adam has no choice but to keep him, right? It doesn't hurt that Kris Allen is perfect, even if he has a horrible sense of direction. Except apparently, Kris works for the FBI. It might be a Romeo and Juliet fiasco, but Adam has the gay mafia backing him up on this and he always gets what he wants... even if that includes an IT intern who mostly knows how to make great coffee and look pitiful when he apologizes for the delay in customer service. nagaashi (fanfic)
61. Kris Allen is a black belt and can break cement blocks with his pinky finger; as such, he sees no issue walking around at night. But when he comes across a bad guy mugging a prostitute he does what needs to be done. Then he offers to buy the poor guy a coffee because he wants to help, and like his Mama taught him, even Jesus saw fit to be nice to Mary Magdalene.
Adam Lambert hates his life, or just the play he's in. He'd rather be doing another Debbie Does Dallas musical than his role as street walker #3. The only thing good about the role is this month's rent and the boots. Adam's a big guy and in his bigger-than-Elton's stiletto boots he maxes out about seven feet tall, and he feels awesome! The last thing he expects is for someone to try and mug him (like he really has room for a wallet in his hot pants!). He could take care of it, he grew up fat and faggy after all and knows a thing or two about fighting, but maybe it's not all bad to have a knight in shining armor once in a while. Actually, Adam could get used to this (it's even cute that Kris is afraid of spiders) - even if Kris needs to catch a clue and realize Adam isn't actually a hooker.
62. When Captain Adam Lambert captures an enemy spacecraft, he takes aboard a brown-eyed stranger who captures his heart and throws his well-ordered life into chaos. The heat they generate burns as brightly and naturally as the stars - until Kris Allen is stolen away by a merciless pirate who trades in lives, leaving Adam broken and haunted by his last, angry words to his lover. After five years of searching, Adam is finally united with Kris, only to find him dying, imprisoned by a strange, ring-bound enchantment that is slowly draining his soul. Removing the ring will mean his immediate death unless Adam can find a source of powerful, ancient magic.
63. Adam Lambert has a rule he won't break: Don't take anyone home. Kris Allen is trying to survive on the streets of LA with no money, no identity, and no friends. When Adam meets Kris, all thoughts of "safe" go flying out the window. He takes him home for the best sex of his life, not knowing that Kris is a sex slave on the run from a man who'll do anything to get him back.
64. As rakishly handsome as he was successful, attorney Adam Lambert was a "love 'em and leave 'em" kind of guy. Until Kris Allen, his long-lost love, suddenly appeared in his office-and turned his carefully crafted world upside down.
Kris had his reasons for leaving Adam years ago-reasons he'd never dreamed of sharing with him. But now the single dad needed his expert help to fight for what mattered most-his young son.
As his custody battle heated up, so did the still-blazing chemistry with Adam. Against Kris's best-laid plans, he fell hopelessly in love all over again. Only, this time, would he find the courage to stay?
65. A whopping ten-million-dollar inheritance should have been Kris Allen's dream come true. Instead, the money brought nothing but vultures looking for their share of the wealth. Fortunately for him, the generous gift also came with a rescuer: sexy billionaire Adam Lambert.
Instinct told Adam that the generous inheritance his father had given Kris for saving his son would send him running for help. His plan? To be Kris's "knight in shining armor" and show him how to toughen up. Whisking him off for a luxurious getaway-complete with a romantic dinner or two-was all part of the arrangement. But letting the considerate, passionate schoolteacher give him a lesson in love-and transform his heart-was not...
66. Kris Allen has done the math. This widowed father knows that his two wonderful young sons deserve all of his hardworking heart. Still, the handsome accountant can't help but notice the carefree new nanny...
But for Adam Lambert, family equals trouble. He is not going to follow in his mother's reckless footsteps, chasing romance no matter what the risk. The gorgeous nanny has his own career to consider, and Adam's adorable plaid-wearing employer is not part of his plan. The heart has its own logic, though, and with two adorable tykes to bind them, the calculus just may add up to love.
67. The Players:
1) Adam Lambert. Calculating entrepreneur. Avowed bachelor. He takes what he wants-in the boardroom and the bedroom!
2) Kris Allen. Emotionally invested in his family's business. About to enter into a business deal with Adam that will shock him on every level... And he'll love every minute of it.
The Situation: Dangerously hot, filled with steamy sexual tension and cold business machinations.
The Turning Point: Adam makes a critical error. And in the fallout, he realizes that he's lost far more than he gained-he's given up his one chance at happiness. He'd have to pull off the coup of a lifetime to earn Kris's trust-and love-again.
Then again, that's all part of the plan... adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
68. Kris Allen has his life perfectly on track. Education: check. Career: check. Marriage: soon-to-be checked. Has he missed anything? Yes, actually: Adam Lambert. Tall, blue-eyed, glam hottie. Check, check, check! The problem? He's just about to marry Adam's best friend. But that doesn't stop him and Adam from indulging in some incredibly perfect sex...
Hmm. With his careful life plan off track, Kris needs a new blueprint, and fast. And it just doesn't have room for Adam Lambert in it. Unless, of course, he has anything to say about it. Which he does-every time he lures Kris back to his bed!
69. "Hell on wheels…in bed" someone had written on Adam Lambert's business card. Now Adam's card rested with many other men's in the glass "booty"-all up for grabs by the dating pool in Kris Allen's office building.
Three dates! That's all Kris needed to write a sexy, juicy story on San Francisco hot spots for his online column. Was it fate he drew Adam's card?
The two of them had a history. Infatuation, wild sex, sneaking around-followed by a painful explosive breakup. But Kris was still hot for him six years later... And it was clear Adam felt the same. Could they have a shot at rewriting history?
70. What's a guy to do when he's secretly in love with a friend and he's married to someone else? He gets over it. That's what Kris Allen has done. Rather than lose his best bud Adam Lambert with an ill-timed, crazy confession of affection, he's taken the smart route. He's eased away from Adam. Just enough to get past the unrequited bits. And you know, it's working.
Until the day Adam announces he's now single. That's right. He's single. And he wants to hang out. With Kris. Get reconnected the way they used to be. Oh, this is so not good for Kris's equilibrium. Daily doses of Adam remind him of everything he loves about him. But if Adam's free...and Kris's free...well, maybe the time has come for one of those crazy confessions.
71. Is Kris Allen the only one on campus who doesn't know who Adam Lambert is? No big deal except that the bad-boy rock star gets a kick out of Kris's refusal to worship at his feet. And that seems to have provoked his undivided attention. Adam, the guy who gave new meaning to the phrase "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll." Adam, the guy who somehow becomes wedged between Kris and the past he's kept hidden for years.
It's up to this librarian to find out firsthand just how "bad" he really is. Because Kris' secret-and his growing feelings for a man who claims he's bent on redemption-depend on his turning out to be as good as he seems. Which is really, really good. firelit_dreams (fanfic - completed)
72. For sharp-tongued food critic Adam Lambert, the chance to spend a month in Kris Allen's kitchen to write an exposé is a journalistic dream come true. Surely Adam can find a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once he learns what really goes on at his trendy Los Angeles restaurant. But he never expected Kris to find out his most embarrassing secret: he has no idea how to cook.
Kris is not about to have his reputation burned by a critic who doesn’t even know the difference between poaching and paring. He’ll just have to give the tempting brunette a few private lessons of his own-teaching Adam what it means to cook with passion…and doing more with his hands than simply preparing sumptuous food.
73. Adam Lambert was not only commissioning Kris Allen to paint the portrait of his latest boy toy, he was also boldly trying to seduce Kris with his lethal charm. The rich and arrogant rock star didn't recognize Kris as the young man who'd given himself to Adam in innocence seven years ago. To him Kris had been a mere diversion. Kris longed to pay him back with interest for the pain Adam had caused him. But Kris tried instead to keep him at arm's length - to avoid battling himself, as well as Mr. Lambert. adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
74. When Kris Allen was hired as personal assistant to Adam Lambert, he was ready to resist him - if Kris' sensible suits, glasses and severe hairstyle didn't do it, then his cool, untouchable manner would. However, during a working weekend away, Adam started getting very personal with his assistant. Without his glasses and prim clothes, Kris felt naked - which suited Adam just fine!
75. The formidable Adam Lambert certainly had been deeply wronged in the past by Kris Allen's father - but it had been nothing to do with him; in fact Kris didn't even know what had happened. But Adam was determined to get his revenge, and Kris was his instrument: he had lost one husband; in Kris he was getting another - whether he liked it or not! The man was a devil; but for Kris there could be no escaping him.
76. Dare he strike a deal with this man? Kris Allen knew his father's career would be ruined unless he intervened--and swiftly. One simple, human error shouldn't be held against him, Kris decided. And he was sure his employer, the handsome dynamic Adam Lambert, would understand.... But Adam's hardheaded response shocked him. He would help Kris, on one condition: that he pretend to be his lover! Kris felt uneasy at the cold calculation behind his offer. And even more uneasy at how disturbingly attractive he found Adam. Yet Kris had no choice.
77. Seeing Adam Lambert again after five long years was almost more of a shock than the traffic accident that had left Kris Allen's brother in a coma. Why had Adam come? Instantly Kris relived the pain of loving him and losing him. But that was over now; he had his brother to think of. That was the most cruel irony of all, because for his brother's sake, Kris was forced to live with his husband again, pretending a love that didn't exist - except on Kris' side.
78. Adam Lambert was not a man to toy with. Kris Allen unleashed a storm when he set out to teach Adam a lesson. A storm with more fury than he'd ever expected. But Kris was tired of hearing about all the men his boss had affairs with, and so Kris announced to the newspapers that Mr. Lambert would finally be settling down and getting married. And the man? Kris himself! Hs little joke backfired, however. It wasn't too long before Kris began fervently wishing their mock engagement was a real one. micalaux (fanfic)
79. Kris Allen's arrival in Los Angeles was daunting. He'd been so delighted with the chance at a film role that his reception on the sound stage was a shock. Adam Lambert, the director, seemed convinced that Kris had landed the part by means other than his acting ability. Even worse, he doubted Kris' honesty! Initially, all Kris wanted was his approval of his acting. Then it became vital to have Adam respect him as a colleague and peer. For, foolishly, Kris found himself in love with a man who despised him!
80. When Adam Lambert discovered the true identity of Kris Allen, the "dreamy" man he had started seeing, he was furious. Kris had deliberately misled Adam! But Adam found he couldn't resist the power of Kris' charms for long. And Kris was intensely honest about his own attraction to Adam. Then Adam realized just how foolish he had been to let himself get involved with Kris. Handling his jealous temper was one difficulty. But suspecting that Kris was a married man set matters in an entirely different dimension!
81. Kris Allen had never met a man like Adam Lambert, so worldly, so handsome, so . . . passionate. And for Adam, it had been love at first sight - or so he claimed. But when Kris' family objected to Kris choosing Adam (over his on-again, off-again girlfriend), he rebelled. Kris was an adult, fully capable of making his own decisions, he shouted at his family on that final night. Within a week, Kris was committed to Adam and living in his Los Angeles home. The relationship started out fine - until [guy of your choice] appeared on the scene, and told Kris a few things about Adam . . . .
82. To be honest, Kris Allen couldn't blame 19E and the rest of his management for his current predicament. If he hadn't found famous performer Adam Lambert in his secluded Ozark cottage, Kris never would have fallen in love with Adam. But it was his label and management who was forcing him to stay in a loveless marriage. And it was his agent who led Adam to believe that Kris was happily married and a leech looking to grab onto someone famous in order to further his own career. Kris could fight 19E, but he could never erase Adam's contempt for him.
83. Adam Lambert is a huge rock star and he gets whatever or whoever he wants. His label and management consider him their cash cow and do whatever it takes to keep him happy. Kris Allen is new to the music industry and is finding it impossible to get a record deal. Kris meets Adam at some industry event [or event of author’s choice], and Adam decides that he wants Kris.
Kris refuses Adam’s advances, which only makes Adam even more determined to have him. Adam uses his influence with his record label to get them to offer Kris a record deal if he spends a 2 week vacation with Adam, after which Adam promises to stay out of Kris’ life. Except Adam falls in love with Kris, but he can’t tell him because of their deal.
Will Adam take the chance and tell Kris how he feels, or will Kris beat him to the punch?
84. Adam Lambert’s days of tabloid notoriety are behind him if he wants to keep his record contract. To complete his newly reformed image, his management wants him to settle down and get married. Adam refuses to even consider the idea until he meets his prospective husband, Kris Allen.
85. Adam Lambert left town for the bright lights of Hollywood to pursue his dreams, but now he’s home for a visit after his most recent break up [or reason of author’s choice]. Kris Allen had managed to bury his feelings for Adam when he left, but they return with a vengeance when he sees Adam again. Kris’ attempt to keep his feelings hidden fails, but to his surprise, Adam is interested in him, too. What will they do when it’s time for Adam to return to LA? (Shelter-esque)
86. Adam Lambert has been invited to his ex’s wedding. Because he refuses to let the cheating bastard think he cares, Adam replies as plus one. The only problem is that he isn’t currently seeing anyone, and there’s no way he’s showing up without a date. Kris Allen appears to be the answer to Adam’s temporary problem, except when the time comes for their fake relationship to end, will Adam be able to let him go? adamluvr36_fic (fanfic)
87. Unable to make it on his music alone, Kris Allen takes a job as a personal assistant to the flamboyant, charismatic and infuriating glamrocker Adam Lambert. Working for Adam becomes a challenge in more ways than one when Kris finds himself attracted to the other man.
88. Kris Allen agrees to participate in a charity bachelor auction because it’s for a good cause, but eyebrows are raised when the infamous Adam Lambert bids on him. When Adam wins the bidding, though, Kris is less concerned with his reputation and more with his virtue. Will either come away intact? More importantly, by the time Adam's done with him, will Kris care? kradambomb (fanfic)
89. Kris Allen has moved to LA to pursue music. He works at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter [other similar place of author’s choice] during the day, and plays coffee houses, open mic nights and bars at night. Adam Lambert has had enough of so-called Christian do-gooders telling him he’s going to hell, so he wants nothing to do with seemingly goody-two-shoes Kris Allen who takes up residence in his apartment complex. Until he sees him playing at a bar one night. Will Kris and Adam be able to overcome their differences long enough to discover all the things they have in common? (Latter Days-esque)
90. Kris Allen was blissfully in love and looking forward to his happily ever after . . . until he found out that it was all a lie. Now, years later, Adam Lambert has come looking for Kris, and he’ll use whatever means necessary (blackmail, bribery, other method of author’s choice) to get Kris back. Is Kris doomed to a loveless marriage, or will he be able to forgive Adam and forge the future he’d once dreamt of?
91. Kris came home from a failed musical audition to a roommate who had just kicked him out of their apartment (and because Kris didn't have his name on the lease his stuff is in a big heap on the sidewalk and that's the short end of it) and tonight is his first night homeless. So, it's completely okay if he's huddled on a park bench trying not to cry. Was it so hard, he thought, to just have a home?
Adam wasn't really thinking about adopting a dog. It was a vague fancy for a bored rock star but whatever . . . until he comes across someone who fit his pet requirements: cute, small, and house-trained. With Kris living with him, Adam slowly comes to realize how alone he was and how nice his life is now (and he's so happy that Kris is easier to get through custom's than a dog). Unsurprisingly when the tabloids get pictures of Kris in a collar things get a little complicated and soon the love between a pet and his master become much more. kira_dark_wing (fanfic)
92. It's the early 50s, before rock-n-roll took over the world. Men in suits and hats, with a cigar and glass of gin in their hands. Kris Allen is a quiet kid, just new to town, trying to make a living any way he can, mostly by playing guitar in a seedy bar downtown. Only, he's not as young as people think, or as innocent. He's only been in town a few days when he gets cajoled into playing a game of pool for nickels with a few local fellows. Of course, he loses.
The owner of the Cadillac parked outside, a tall, dark haired handsome could-be film star of a man is watching. The man is passing through town, spreading a little money around while he's there. He's showing off, drinking too much (or so it seems), and corrupting the virtues of the local ladies (again, so it seems). After a week of publicly despising one another, and each building reputations as lousy shots (at pool) and even lousier at cards, they sit down at the table with three of the town's top citizens for a friendly (but not really) game of poker.
The three men have it worked out with Kris Allen that they are going to use him to rid Adam Lambert of every dollar in his wallet, every piece of jewelry he's wearing, and the flashy car parked outside. What the men didn't realize, until it was too late, was that Adam and Kris work (and so much more) together.
93. Kris caught the eye of the guy (tall, dark, and really cute) across the room and smiled, before blushing and looking away. He did it again, until finally the guy returned his smile. He rolled his wheelchair over and introduced himself. Adam returned the kindness and laughed. When asked what he was in for, Kris said it was all about god's plan but the doctor's said cancer. (Up to author if Adam has the same). Adam and Kris create a friendship and love that won't last long, but will be breathtaking while they have it. This is their story. [Rule reminder: The term ‘harlequin’ implies romance. Additionally, Harlequin fic most generally have a happy ending. Very angsty fic that doesn’t have a happily ever after for the boys, or fic that includes character death is probably not appropriate for this comm. Please keep this in mind should you choose to write this prompt. Thank you.] nagaashi (fanfic)
94. Kris Allen knew he was teetering on the edge of ruin. His father had staked his fortune, and his virginity, at the card table-and lost! To the most notorious gamester in town…
Adam Lambert had money, plenty of it, but it was a long time since he'd been considered a gentleman. Still, he never intended to pursue this debt. Until he met Kris Allen in the flesh-and began to wonder just how long his honor would hold out . . . scribblinlenore (fanfic)
