Prompt: Therapy
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 30,600
Rating: R
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con
Summary: Something crunched behind him and Adrian looked over his shoulder.
He had the impression of a tall body but then something pressed over his nose and mouth and he was too busy trying to catch his breath.
Kicking his feet out, Adrian tried to escape this guy’s hold. He threw elbows and bucked but he was dizzy and the little energy he’d had was fading.
This was proof, and not the good kind, that he wasn’t paranoid. Someone had been watching him. But why?
His vision grayed at the edges and his legs collapsed out from under him.
He had a moment to think of Deran-his friend would turn the world upside down to find him-and then gray turned black.
Title: The Devil’s In The Next Room
Fandom: Animal Kingdom
Prompt: Major Illness
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 11,240
Rating: R
Warnings: Child Abuse
Summary: He really, really wished he was normal. He always appreciated, and basked in, Deran’s attention but he’d rather have it because Deran had feelings for him, not that he was worried he was going to seize and drown in the ocean.
Wow, he was really morbid today. He supposed that made sense since tomorrow was the anniversary of-
“Adrian, god damn it, quit fighting me! I’ve got you.”
“Wha?” Water sloshed into his mouth and he coughed.
Deran was his safe zone. He could trust Deran to protect him. The fight went right out of him and he relaxed against the body holding him up.
Title: Guilty

Prompt: Sensory Deprivation

Rating: R
Warnings: NA
Summary: “Yeah, my lawyer explained it all to me and the answer is still no. I don’t have anything useful and even if I did, sharing it with you would get me killed. I can’t do that to Deran.” Dolan stared at his feet but he sounded resolute.
Pearce wanted to point out that trying to smuggle drugs in his surfboard was already doing a number on his boyfriend but he kept his own counsel. He gave Dolan a month on the inside before he cracked. The boys at FSP Victorville were going to chew up this soft little surfer boy and spit him out and when they did, Pearce would be waiting with an offer.
And if Dolan wouldn’t crack, he’d apply some pressure to Cody.
Title: Karma for the Heart

Prompt: Heart Trouble
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 6,140
Rating: R
Warnings: NA
Summary: Deran felt useless as he kneeled next to Adrian. His boyfriend was lying on his left side, right leg bent over his left, his left arm straight out and his right curled next to his head…just like he looked when he slept.
Except he wasn’t sleeping.
His lips were fucking blue and his eyelashes sporadically twitched against his cheeks.
Title: Light at the End of the Tunnel
Fandom: Animal Kingdom
Prompt: Coma
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 20,000
Rating: R
Warnings: NA
Summary: Deran didn’t think it was a surprise to anyone that he liked to be in control.
His brothers knew it and liked to mock him for it.
Smurf knew it and used it to manipulate him.
Adrian knew it and didn’t make a big deal about it. Sometimes went along with it. Maybe even liked it at times. Of course, at the most crucial juncture in their relationship Adrian hadn’t given Deran the control he craved and look at where they were now.
Title: Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Summary: Adrian and Deran set out to show each other just how much they care...with varying results.
Title: Priority

Rating: NC-17
Warnings: NA
Summary: Deran was pissed. Adrian should’ve been here hours ago. He was usually home by 6 p.m. on Thursdays and even if he went home and took a nap, or whatever the hell he did, he should’ve been here by now.
“Hey, where’s Adrian? I thought he was going to help out tonight?” Craig stared around the bar as though he thought Adrian would suddenly materialize.
“That’s an excellent fucking question.”
Title: Get Lucky

Title: Something More
Fandom: Animal Kingdom
Prompt: Hunger/Starvation
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 18,800
Rating: R
Warnings: Child Neglect, Rape/Non-Con (hinted at)
Summary: “Hey, what do you little bitches…Adrian?”
Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Adrian knew that voice. That voice scared him.
It was Deran’s brother, Baz.
Someone grabbed his arm and hauled him off the sidewalk, his feet stumbling. He’d like to blame it on the manhandling but Valeria’s punch had done some damage. “Fucking stupid kid, come on.”
And that was Deran’s other brother, Pope.
Pope, who seemed to either want to hit him or laugh at him. Adrian never knew where he stood with the guy.
Fuck this night.
Title: Two Things

Prompt: Body Image Issues

Wordcount: 2,960
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: NA
Summary: The husky alto voice drifted down the stairs.
Remember what we discussed. Today is a fasting day so no lunch and no snacks. We’ll see about eating tomorrow after we check the scale.
It was weird. Smurf did nothing but push food at her sons and here Mrs. Dolan was telling Adrian not to eat.
Title: Sunshine
Fandom: Animal Kingdom
Prompt: Asking for Help
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 8,550
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: NA
Summary: Living with Adrian in the beachfront home was not what Deran had imagined. It wasn’t better, or worse than he’d imagined…it was just different.
Like how had he missed how messy Adrian was? He’d leave a trail of clothing and other detritus behind him as he moved from room to room as if leaving a trail of breadcrumbs. Sure, he picked up his shit when prompted but Deran wasn’t his mother, he shouldn’t have to remind him all the damned time.
But there were good things, too. He’d discovered Adrian had a surprising nice voice; he sometimes sang in the shower but only if he didn’t think Deran was around.
Title: The Real Deal

Prompt: Motion Sickness
Medium: Fic
Wordcount: 9,400
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: NA
Summary: Adrian’s vision blurred, he was so tired, but he focused on the screen.
Deran Cody. Athletic build. Good looking. Owned his own business. Kind of looked like an asshole but Adrian sort of had a type and surprisingly asshole was it. “This doesn’t make any sense. Why would he buy my droid? He could’ve just asked the real thing on a date!”
“His brother submitted the application on his behalf. Something about this guy just coming out as gay and having an opportunity to explore his sexuality.” Jess recited the information primly but her cheeks were pink.
“You’re pimping me out? This guy has probably never had sex with a guy before and I’m going to, what, be his gay sex guru?” Adrian scrunched his eyes closed, blocking the picture of Deran Cody from his sight. The guy was definitely his type.
He had a strong feeling about this but he couldn’t tell if it was good or bad.

Summary: Returning to the living room, Deran noticed the absence of running water. The bedroom door was open, too. “Adrian?”
He started for the bedroom but his cell phone pinged with an incoming text. Getting ride to appt w Chad. Cul8er.
Deran’s hand clenched around the phone. He whirled and threw it but his aim was true and it struck the back of the couch before bouncing onto a cushion which was what he’d intended because he didn’t want to pay for another phone. Of course, it came to rest there, face up, so Adrian’s text still mocked him.
