Artist Claims: Round Two!
After a few days of claiming, we still have 8 ONE fantastic stories story that needs an artist! If you're interested in claiming a second or third story, here's your chance! Under the cut are just the stories that haven't been claimed, so let's get this done and get everyone working! :D
1. Title: House of Souls
Type: romance/fantasy
Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairings: Adam/Tommy
Warnings: character death--kinda, sorta, but not really
Summary: Two souls that are mated in the great hall try to fulfill their destiny by finding and loving each other on Earth. The story is done in three parts, with trips back to the Hall of Souls in between. The first two trips to the Earthly plane are unsuccessful. The third is successful. Vague references to other unsuccessful trips are made. Each time the two souls fail to fulfill their destiny results in greater sadness & more damage to the souls.
The first trip is short & set in a time when humans were relatively new to the Earth. They lived in tribes in caves & hunted to survive. Adam & Tommy have grown up together & grown close. Life is hard & they don't have a chance to actualize a relationship. The second part is set in Kansas, just before the civil war. Adam is a reporter from New York sent to cover the battle for the new Kansas Territory. Tommy is trying to make a living & a life amidst the turmoil. They find and recognize each other, but before they can do anything about it, Meeting Place happens. The third part is present time. and it ends with the end of tour.. The storyline follows real life pretty much. The key to each part is that they recognize something in each others eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul. The first part is very primal and barren to match the setting. The second part is long, and has more dialogue than I've ever written. The third part is from Adam's POV, & is more angsty than the other two.

Summary: After the tragic death of his long-time boyfriend (Kris Allen) and prize jockey in a racing accident, Adam Lambert's life is in shambles. Each day is a struggle with overcoming grief, and the shelf he keeps it all on is getting full. In an attempt to take back his life, Adam heads back to the ranch with intentions of finding a new jockey to take he and his racehorse, Bowie, to the track once again. But, when Tommy Ratliff, a virtually nameless aspiring jockey enters with hopes to fill Kris's shoes, Adam gets more than he bargains for. Over time, a relationship past trainer and athlete buds, and Adam is faced with an entirely new set of challenges. Can he let his walls down for long enough to accept Tommy's companionship? Or better yet, can he handle the chance at such a massive loss a second time? But, for every doubt Adam holds, Tommy has a four word promise that he intends to keep.

Warnings: Mentions of addiction. Character death. No way around that one this time. But it's NOT deathfic. That's totally not the point. *sigh* I don't even know how to explain...but it's totally not the point.
Summary: It's September 21st, the last concert in the continental U.S., and the Glam Troupe makes plans to party at a cabin in the middle of nowhere after the show. But on the way to the cabin, a drunk driver collides with the car carrying the Glam Band, and Tommy is killed. The next morning when Adam wakes up, Tommy is alive, and September 21st is just beginning. Terrified that all of the events of the day will repeat, Adam tries to keep everyone safe, but to no avail. This time, it's Monte who dies instead. He wakes up on September 21st again, only this time Tommy reveals that he's be reliving the same day over and over again too.
Together they must figure out why time is stalled, and stop anyone else from dying. As the day repeats on a seemingly endless loop, more and more secrets are revealed - feelings long kept hidden, stubborn grudges, distrust, heartbreak, and deep love. With each day, Adam gets a chance to make things right with everyone he loves, and with each day he begins to realize that there are some things that are too broken to be fixed. But as both boys begin to understand that they cannot change fate, only one question remains: if they can't outsmart death, will their love be strong enough to outlast it?

Summary: While visiting Cardiff during a trip to the UK, Adam loses track of Tommy for an hour. A mysterious stranger in a military coat returns Tommy to him, and all seems well. But when they get back to the United States, Tommy starts acting strangely. The mysterious stranger, Captain Jack Harkness, offers to take him to a facility where he could get treatment, and Tommy agrees to go along. Adam suspects that there’s more at work and contacts Captain Jack, and finds out that Tommy is being treated at a top-secret military base. But Tommy’s not getting better. So Adam agrees to go to the base because his presence helps. Eventually, he finds out that the military base deals with aliens. There is a whole universe out there full of intelligent, technologically more advanced life. Oh, and time-travel exists. It turns out that within the one hour, Tommy had been taken to an alien world and subjected to biological alterations, before Captain Jack (who has a device that can travel through space and time) saved him. These alterations are making him sick, though, so they need to travel back to that planet to figure out what was done to him. They go to the planet but are separated from Captain Jack by a strange attack. Tommy remembers the place, and feels better immediately, so he takes care of the two of them while Adam tries to cope with being on an alien world. They explore the fascinating and complicated [CITY], a lone colony city on [PLANET]. As they try to locate Captain Jack and find a way home, they learn about CITY’s history, the ‘curse’ on the SEARCHERS, and PLANET, which has its own unique history. Features psychedelic pollen, zombies, and wonderfully unpronounceable names.

Characters/Pairings: Adam/Tommy, Cassidy/ Brad
Warnings: This is really nothing but a sarcastic mess.
Summary: “Wow, that’s like three hundred years.” A blonde little fairy says as if she was going to start bursting out laughing at any moment. She was sitting in front of one of the many TV screens in the big black command room listening to her boss talk to himself for hours. When the little dwarf was there, her job was easier. A lot easier. Before he left, she could have just got away with just sitting back and watching the lives on the TV draw out. But now, she had to press buttons and get all frustrated with what she’s being told to do. Her job was to sit here and watch the TV screens for mistakes that they’ve might have made when they sent people back to earth. Occasionally she would have to greet the people coming into the reassignment Center. But this was her job. She actually enjoyed doing it. It was truly like one of those soap operas on earth. She would get some popcorn and just sit back and watch.

Hackers abound and are synonymous with anarchists, facing the death penalty if captured. The police force, while claiming to be for the public good, is controlled entirely by the corporations.

Meanwhile, Tommy “Crow” Ratliff and Monte “Vein” Pittman have given up on exposing the corporations and are only working to take them down. They have hacked into whatever companies they can and slipped their latest virus into the systems. Suddenly the Adam program, as much as it’s loved, is going the way of its brother, Neil, and starting to show some glitchy behaviour after its five year run. When Kris and Katy break into a Fuller Corporation compound one night, they stumble across something that changes everything. Adam and Neil come to light, struggling for their own survival. Kris and Katy have found everything they dreamed of uncovering, only suddenly they’re on the run for the Free Republic of the North, not only for their own lives, but for the hope of the entire South.
