A day late, a dollar short, and struggling not to be so incommunicado -- single lines from works-in-progress, and I cheated only twicethrice:
Some of these I'm actively working on and plan to finish. Some have plots which were killed by events on the show. Some just suck, and I'll mine them for good bits when I write new stories.
And some works-in-progress only exist elsewhere in longhand right now, in one of my many tattered little notebooks, because I work too damn much.
It was wanna fucking kill you at first sight.
- "Red Right Hand", Sark/Krycek (Alias/X-Files)
Spike never mentions anyone, doesn't name any names, but Krycek knows Spike has someone in his life that gives it terrible meaning.
Krycek's got Mulder.
He understands completely.
- Untitled, Spike/Krycek (Buffy/X-Files)
"Well, seeing as how I have no marketable job skills outside of the demonic population, I've entered into an exciting new career as a gigolo."
- Untitled, Wes/Gunn (Angel)
Just when he thinks life can't possibly get any weirder, somebody goes and tops the ninjabots.

Together, they tilt at windmills.
- Untitled, Apollo/Midnighter (The Authority)
Batman has taught his body to conceal. To... omit. You wonder how many years it took him to learn that.
- Untitled, Bruce/Cass (Batman)
Sometimes he finds himself wondering if he's covered in scar tissue all over, or if it's just that he wants to be.
- Untitled Tim thing, (Batman)
Fraser brightened up at the smuggling mention, and Ray started rubbing at his eyes at the back room mention, because what he was thinking after that was pretty much unmentionable.
- "Monkey Business", Fraser/Kowalski (due South)
"This guy," Ray's old Lieu had said, sticking his big, ink-stained thumb on top of Vecchio's closed file, "does not take it up the ass, Detective. Am I clear?" Back then, he'd just rolled his eyes and stuck another wad of gum in his mouth, and said something shitheaded like, "Fabulous, sir."

He hadn't thought that Zoe could get any deadlier than she had been in the war -- crazy-haired and blank-eyed, her knife perpetually covered in blood from the men whose throats she'd slit -- but then she'd gone and got herself a husband, and heaven help the sha gwa who made any kind of threatening moves in his general direction.
- Untitled Jayne Is Mal's Bitch (Firefly)
"Ask you a question?" Jayne said, hunching over his mug like it was gonna grow legs and mosey off.
- Untitled, Mal/Jayne (Firefly)
Members of the Snape family always sort into Ravenclaw and Slytherin, with the exception of one Syzygy Snape, who, much to the family's horror, sorted quite happily into Hufflepuff.
- "The Anatomy of a Snape", (Harry Potter)
Methos has only been able to predict what he'll do, not how he'll do it, which is why he ran for seven lifetimes when he finally left Kronos behind, ever watchful, the skin of his back prickling, fingers curled around the hilt of a knife.
- "Five (Thousand) Lies", (Highlander)
"He likes having a place to come home to."
- "Like Swimming Part 3", Duncan/Methos (Highlander)
It was just a normal handshake until Lex rubbed his thumb along the joint of Clark's knuckle, then Clark realized they had been staring into each other's eyes the whole time, and that they were basically holding hands in the hallway.
- "Seek to Mend", Clark/Lex (Smallville)
And because conversations with Tim never seem to end like they do with everyone else, Kon isn't particularly surprised when Tim says, "Why don't you want to tell him?"
- Untitled, Kon/Tim (Teen Titans)
Now I shall leave the house and interact with people who are not my coworkers. I may be back later tonight. Most certainly bearing booze.
