I'm going to see the Used tonight, for the first time. why_me_why_not PMed me at just the right time (I already had my credit card out for some other reason, now I can't remember, probably bills) and was like "Hey, Atlantic City, Bert, people from the internet, whaddya say." And I was like "I feel like paying Ticketmaster some charges and taking a bus to the ( Read more... )

Psychically Yours
The Used, Bert/Quinn, NC-17, 8300 words

Quinn really doesn't want to work for the Psychic Agents Division, but that's before he meets his fellow employees. For evocatory in the usedfic exchange. Beta work by thesamefire and T. Any remaining mistakes are because I ignored their sound advice.

Warning: This could be read as having dub-con elements. Please ( Read more... )

Let me hitch you up to the bandwagon:

I am so utterly super-bonkers crazy about The Used. They are like delicious freezer pops on a hot summer day. I want to lie down on their bus couch and listen to them say shitty bitchy things to each other while I linger halfway between waking and sleeping. I love their pot-filth hair and their ugly suet-sack faces ( Read more... )

So Professional
Used, Jepha/Dan, NC-17, 3600 words
Jepha wants to play secretary.

Warning: BDSM content, cross-dressing. You shouldn't be learning how to practice safe kink from fanfiction; however, if you see something that bothers you, feel free to let me know, since I don't know everything (but would like to try).

A short piece for day 2 of 14valentines.

The 14valentines community isn't intended to raise money. However, I was recently reminded of what an uphill battle it is for a lot of non-profits that work with women. If you have the inclination, then, I want to suggest two possible places: Maryland Crime Victims Resource Center, and the National Domestic Violence ( Read more... )

Used, Bert, G rated.

For 14valentines, day one.

I worked from a source picture, but didn't trace. Done in Sharpie markers, collaged with cut-up Rachmaninoff they were getting rid of at the library. Vaguely inspired by the story I'm going to post tomorrow.

Into You Like a Train
Used -- Jepha/OFC -- 9200 words -- NC-17

algernon-mouse emailed a rough couple of paragraphs to me about Jepha getting pegged for the first time, and I wrote her back the first draft of this. She and secrethappiness liked it, so I decided to turn it into something longer. helluvalot did a first round beta, and secrethappiness brought it home. Any remaining mistakes are mine ( Read more... )

A while ago, prophetic asked me to do a "top ten" of the Used's music. I have a hard time ranking things -- my brain is nothing more than a series of caveats, really -- but I think I can do something like it by writing a rec post ( Read more... )
