WIP Post: December 2013
I like doing wip roundups occasionally, and the end of the year seems like a good time for it, especially since I'm not going to get around to doing my usual December wip amnesty and plot bunnies posts. (Maybe in January.)

"If you want to hook up," Brownie says while they're making breakfast in the morning, "we can go out again."
Tyler whisks the eggs with a fork and carefully pours them into a pan. He means to agree to going out, but instead he says, "I think I'm going to tell Jesse."
"Okay," Brownie says after a second. "Cool."
Tyler makes a face at the eggs. "You think it'll be okay?"
"It's Jesse," Brownie says. "It'll be okay, or I'll kick his ass myself." He reaches around Tyler and takes the spatula away from him. He was overstirring the eggs. "I'll be there if you want."
Tyler gets out of the way and makes their protein shakes instead. "No. I can do it." The noise of the blender means he doesn't really have to talk about it for a minute.
"Jesse's cool," Brownie says. He nudges Tyler with an elbow. "Just remember I'm a better wingman."
Tyler laughs and his hands are steady when he pours their shakes into glasses.

Jeff wanders into the kitchen one afternoon when Mike's finishing off a bottle of Gatorade and sort of idly thinking about a snack and says, "Would you, uh, tie me up?"
Mike blinks, and looks at him. They don't have anywhere to be until tomorrow, and he already took Arnold out. They have the uninterrupted time for it.
Mike drinks the rest of his Gatorade. "What do you want out of it?"
"I want," Jeff looks down, and he's twisting one hand around the opposite wrist, "to not have to do anything. To give it all up to someone else."
And Mike likes to be in charge. He tosses the empty Gatorade bottle into the recycling. "Cuffs or rope?"
Jeff's eyes widen, and he says, sounding a little like Mike just offered him the Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, and an unending contract all in one, "Rope."

He calls Shawsy to ask, "Do you really want to know what my scene is?" three days after the last time Shawsy bugged him about it.
Shawsy jumps at the chance, and Brandon forestalls his excitement by saying, "You're going to have to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Shawsy laughs. "A confidentiality agreement? Are you into hookers? Are we going to a kinky sex club?"
Brandon doesn't answer, and Shawsy stops laughing. "Wait, for real, are we going to a kinky sex club?"
"If you sign the agreement," Brandon says, "you can find out."
Shawsy signs and Brandon explains it to him in the car on the way there as, "A private club, for people who have similar interests."
"A kinky sex club," Shawsy says cheerfully, and Brandon gives up on explanations and reiterates the importance of privacy, and also not acting like an asshole.

"Oh, Peeks," Sharpy says. "Little Peekaboo, how naive you are in the ways of the world. Just because there is someone for you doesn't mean it's magically perfect. You have to work at relationships."
"Amen to that," Duncs says, and he and Sharpy toast across the table.
"And you better believe it coming from him," Seabs says. "If the only one of us to have a strong enough connection to have a name on both his wrists" - Sharpy holds up both wrists so they can all see the dark lines spelling out "Abby" - "says it still takes work, you know it takes work."
Shawzy barks out a laugh that comes as a surprise even to Brandon, who's been watching him closely.
"I have two," Shawzy says when everyone turns to look at him. He's so very carefully not slurring his words that he has to have had even more to drink than Brandon thought. "Not the same, like Sharpy's. Different people." He holds up his covered wrists.

Ryanne's phone rings, later, when she's making dinner. She frowns at it and hands the spatula to Danny. "Don't let anything burn," she says as she walks away and picks up her phone.
It's something Danny's been tasked with before, and he knows she won't leave him there long enough to irrevocably ruin dinner. (It happened once; Ryanne and Claude are more careful now when they leave Danny in charge of food.)
Ryanne comes back with a smile and goes up on her toes to kiss Danny. "You got me a shopping date."
Danny smiles and gives the spatula back to her. "Did I?"
"Yes, you did." Ryanne stirs their dinner a little, probably making sure he didn't ruin it in the five minutes she was gone. "Anna and I are going tomorrow."
"Good." Danny steps up behind her, wraps an arm around her waist, and kisses the back of her neck.

sid2 (outsider pov 5+1)
Dan made his playing career out of being a defensive forward, and he can hold his own against Bryan. But there's a reason Sid is who he is, and even with him slowing his game down to work with Bryan, they get around Dan more easily than he would like.
Sid whoops like they just won a playoff game and lifts Bryan off the ice with the force of his hug. Bryan's grin is wide enough to split his face.
Dan lets them have their moment before they face off again. Dan manages a couple of takeaways, but he can't win against Sid.
"Let's switch teams," he says after Sid and Bryan score a couple more goals.
Bryan's face falls, but Sid nudges him and says, "You can help me work on getting through two defenders, or being the defender in a two on one."

Tyler's still asleep when Fred's alarm goes off in the morning. She makes a noise and curls into the pillow. It's the same kind of cute, grumpy thing Fred's seen her do when she naps on the couch. He kisses the side of her head, mostly catching her hair, and lets her sleep while he gets ready for class. He unlocks her phone after he gets dressed - he's seen her do it enough that he knows her passcode - and checks to see if she has an alarm set. She does, so he leaves her to sleep and sends her a text on his way to class.
Sorry I didn't make you a morning after breakfast. Had to get to class and thought you'd want to sleep. He debates with himself for a minute before he adds a kissy-face emoji. He's sent it to her before, but never when he kind of meant it.
He doesn't get a text from her until after he gets out of his second class of the day and then it's just her with wet hair holding up a plate of eggs. Fred takes that to mean she took care of her own morning after breakfast.
Things I'm no longer working on and should wip amnesty
Things I could figure out what to do with
Things I have not yet begun to work on but maybe want to write
I will probably end up writing something that's not on this list, but here are some of the things I've been thinking about.
Tylers service kink-ish porn. What I really want is for someone else to write twenty to fifty thousand words of Tylers service kink (service top TBrown giving sub TSegs everything he wants would be the best thing ever), but I might just write a tiny bit of porn, possibly for Valentine's Day since I've been writing Tylers holiday snippets.
Tylers financial inequality and househusband boredom. You might have noticed, since I've written three short variations on this in the last two months, that I'm totally obsessed with this idea. I have sternly told my brain that I cannot write the long version of this story until I come up with a pov and a story structure, neither of which my mind has provided yet.
Megan's Guide to Dating Danny Briere. This would be Jeff/Megan/Danny fic, and I have some ideas for it (and about a hundred words), but I don't know that I'll actually write it.
Danny to the Pens. I really want a Danny/Sid story where Danny ends up with the Pens after the Flyers buy him out and starts living with Sid, but I don't know if I'll ever write it. The original idea was for this to be a screwball comedy, but I don't know if I can pull that off.

Things I'm no longer working on and should wip amnesty
- kanesharps1 (Kane gets over Toews with the Sharps) - I keep thinking maybe I'll turn this into original fic instead, but I don't know that I will.
- crosbyovechkin2 (girl!Crosby babyfic) - This is basically a complete disaster, but I might salvage and post the sex scenes.
- briouxs8 (Danny cheats on Sylvie with Claude) - I like this idea, but I don't think I'm ever going to finish it.
- tylers1 (Marchy is confused) - I don't really know what this was going to be.
- briouxs1 (Sean has a boyfriend) - I'm never going to finish this, but I have reused ideas from it in other Brioux fic.
- crosbyovechkin3 (escort AU) - This is one I'm sad I'll never really write, because I like the idea.
- briouxs3 (professor!Danny/student!Claude) - This is another one where I like the idea, but I'm never going to finish this.
Things I could figure out what to do with
- lydia1 (Lydia/ofc futurefic) - Teen Wolf not!ficcish thing that really just needs an ending.
- Biz1 (Maisie kidfic) - This could possibly be posted if I can figure out how to section it out.
- briouxs6 (girl!Danny) - Mostly porn. The porn could probably be cut out and posted as its own thing.
- Sad Crosbys - This doesn't even have its own doc, and I don't know that I really want to write more of it, except I have an idea for it and I might end up writing more.
