FIC: Lonely Ghosts
Series: Teenage Wasteland
Title: Lonely Ghosts
Author: Khirsah
Fandom: Young Avengers (Marvel)
Pairing: Billy/Teddy
Word Count: 40,000 words
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Billy reached out, one hand sliding over Teddy’s slick, warm shoulder, and then he was floating forward and into his arms, twining his own about Teddy’s neck. He rested his cheek against his own bicep, lips a breath away from that warm, golden skin he wanted so much.
“Thank you,” Billy murmured, hips bumping against Teddy’s, legs moving lazily to help keep them from drowning. Teddy made a low noise in return, reaching behind Billy to grasp the ledge, and somehow…somehow, that brought Billy’s back flush against the pool wall, Teddy’s arms over him, penning him in.
Or: What if Billy and Teddy met each other before the Young Avengers were formed?
Acknowledgements: This story would be nothing without slanted_edges (Check out her Tumblr for amaaazing art.) Not only did she draw the most incredible pictures for Lonely Ghosts (found throughout), but she also acted as supereditor. She swept in and relentlessly beat the final third of the story (and me!) into shape. Thanks to her, the story is one thousand times better than it would have been. And one thousand times prettier. (Did I mention the art? Because omg the art. Please go and tell her how awesome she is.) I’d also like to thank mizzmarvel and baffledking, both of whom served as romance and sexiness judges. If this story isn’t romantic or sexy enough for you, blame them. (No, of course, blame me. They were amazing.)
Notes: Lonely Ghosts is the direct sequel to A Declaration of Incompetence. While you don’t have to read A Declaration of Incompetence to read this, it would probably help. You can find it here.
There will be a sequel. In fact, there will be several sequels. This story closes out Teenage Wasteland (though that will remain as the series name). The next story will be from Teddy’s POV and will be split into two ridiculously long chapters. There will be three “stories” in all, each containing two chapters. I swear it won’t take me as long to finish the sequels as it took for this one, but if you contact me with feedback (even if it’s just to yell at me) it will make me move that much faster. (I know it’s shameless to admit that, but it’s true.)
