More comment-fic before I go to bed! Are y'all sick of me yet? ;)

Title: A Little Help
Prompt/Summary: From the twisted [livejournal.com profile] mad_server herself, at her comment-fic meme Again, but with Colds: The boys are staying at Bobby's. Sam and Bobby are working on a case, but Dean's all sick and feverish and sneezy and benched. He keeps padding in in his jammies and "helping" by falling asleep on the couch or on that snazzy downstairs-bed from S5. Original prompt and my reply can be found here.

Title: Thicker Than Water
Summary/Prompt: Prompted by the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] rainylemons at the Dean-focused h/c meme over at [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time. Season 4 - Know how Dean took issue with Sam's whole blood junkie problem? As well he should, yes. But, here's the thing - he and Sam get cursed and wake up in the morning in the wrong body - Sam in Dean's, Dean in Sam's, and Dean has this itch, this hunger, this salivation, that won't go away. He can't stomach a burger or a steak or meat because it just makes everything worse, but life's life and a job's a job, so they keep working. But, when all's said and done (with the job, not the curse) and Dean goes for a beer and Sam elsewhere, in comes Ruby. And God does he ever hate her on so many levels, but she smells so good and he wants what's under her skin. He needs it. He has to have it. If you want to make me really happy and be a total bastard, you can flip them back and leave Sam with suffering the drying out in the panic room ordeal so that Dean has angst. Original prompt is here.
Warnings/Spoilers: NC-17! Holy shit, [livejournal.com profile] pkwench made me write sex. IDEK. /o\ Anyway, brief het which is totally not about the sex but is sex nonetheless. Dean/OFC. Bloodplay (JFC!). A fair bit of swearing. ANGST holy crap! Demon blood addiction and attendant nastiness. Spoilers up to 5.15 inclusively.
Wordcount: 4,217
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Umm, dear [livejournal.com profile] pkwench, this is your prompt in spirit only. Ruby wanted NOTHING to do with this fic, and it ended up in late Season 5, and... um. It's sort of what you wanted?
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Holy Jesus F. Christ. I have NO idea where this came from, except that when I started out it was totally not going to include sex and kinky sex at that and... *cringes* I will be over there in that corner, wibbling frantically if you need me.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Written in the wee hours of the morning today in between calls at work. Right after I finished other comment-fics, actually. No beta, nada. Zip. Zilch.

Rats

ratherastory: (Always With The Scissors)
Title: Rats
Summary/Prompt: Not surprisingly, from [livejournal.com profile] pkwench at the [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time Dean-focused h/c comment-fic meme. Dean and Sam investigate a haunting at an abandoned hospital and get separated. Dean's overcome by the ghost of a dead anesthesiologist and the spook slips him a paralytic that renders him fully unable to move, but leaves him fully conscious. He can't move, he can't yell for Sam, he can't even tell if he's still breathing. But he can feel and he can hear. And what he hears is the mad little scrabble of claws on old tile. Then they come, rats. Maybe just a dozen or so, but to him, unable to move in the darkness, it feels like hundreds of them, crawling over him, little tails sliding over his cheeks and his tongue, one of them right up in his face, the whiskers tickling him. And, maybe they start to gnaw a bit and he keeps trying to shout for Sam to move a finger or a hand to swat them away. But? He can't. Hope Sam gets there soon. Bet Dean does too.Original prompt and my reply can be found here.
Warnings/Spoilers: No spoilers. Swearing. RATS.
Wordcount: 1,183
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I just whipped this up in about half an hour. No beta, no revision, nothing. Just Dean getting chewed on by rats.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I swore I would work on other things this weekend, but APPARENTLY I can't resist [livejournal.com profile] pkwench's prompts any better than before. So.

ratherastory: (Is Writing Fanfic)
It's [livejournal.com profile] ohsam's 6-month anniversary today, folks! Come join the fun!





Also, there's a comment-fic meme going on at [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time focusing on Dean. It's thanks to that comm that [livejournal.com profile] ohsam exists at all, so show them some love too!


ratherastory: (Default)
So now with the Dean/Cas Big Bang draft done and sent in, and my [livejournal.com profile] summer_sam_love fic all written and ready to be posted on Monday, I just realized that I don't have another fic due for another three whole weeks!

This is exciting!

So of course now I feel like writing a whole bunch of other things. Which is silly, because starting in three weeks I have four fics due, one of which is another Big Bang (I know! I know!), although that one's not due for a month or so.

I swear to God, it's like crack. I can't leave it alone.

I'm also thinking of de-mothballing two old fics I wrote when I was just starting out in fandom. They're rough, but I have a soft spot for them because they're the first things I ever wrote in this fandom and they never got posted to my LJ. I think I should take ownership of them even if they're not as good as I'd like them to be. I'll probably post them tomorrow, maybe back-dated so I don't clutter up my flist.

..

The rest of this post is me talking to myself about dates and stuff. You can skip it if you'd like.


I have to update my list of ongoing works, and then get my ducks in a row, fic-wise. Apart from the challenge obligations, I have a handful of fics that I'd like to write or continue in the meantime.

So, challenges and dates are, in the order in which they're due:

[livejournal.com profile] summer_sam_love: episode tag to "The Rapture," due September 11th. No wordcount limits.

[livejournal.com profile] deancastiel: Secret Angels IV fic exchange, due September 17th. Minimum 2,000 words, and I already have the premise and a rough plot in mind.

[livejournal.com profile] werewolfbigbang: 10,000 words, due September 25th. Already begun, although I'm not sure I want to keep what I have.

[livejournal.com profile] kamikazeremix: 1,000 words minimum, due September 27th. Read the fic I'm remixing, pretty sure I know what I'm doing with it.


What I'd like to write also:

1- At least a couple more chapters of RiD. Ideally, maybe one new chapter a week. Maybe I should pick a day of the week on which it posts and just stick to once a week, so it's not feast-or-famine for my poor readers.

2- I have an idea for a crack!fic that won't leave me alone. It's mpreg. IDEK. I think I have to write it and get it out of my system.

3- [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique has kindly given me a prompt for my "Silent Night" verse, and I'd like to write it as a celebration of her finding accommodations and starting school and all that.

4- I owe [livejournal.com profile] peppervl a fic. Waiting on a prompt.

5- There are a couple of prompts over at the comment-fic meme going on at [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time which have piqued my interest. One of them will be a quickie, but the other one may take a while.

So, yeah. Lots of projects, very little time. Story of my life! It's all good, really. The second list doesn't ALL have to get done right away. It's more of a wish list than anything else. :)

Day 30 - Anything SPN related

It's the last day of the meme.

I declare an

Come squee with me in the comments about how awesome SPN is! Lament about how we don't see nearly enough Dean!whump. Get excited about Season 6! Demand more assbutts and robot heads in your life! Post lots and lots of gifs!

Come prompt other people. Produce fics, art, vids, podfic, performance art, found art, random interpretations of Mötorhead on the kazoo. SPN only, but otherwise, anything goes. CAPSLOCK IS ENCOURAGED, NAY, DEMANDED! Haters to the left! ;)

HAVE AT IT!

Hey, flist, it's nearly the weekend!

There are LOTS of awesome prompts, and a good ten really hilarious fics already written. Go have fun!

Title: I Am Weary Let Me Rest

Summary: Written for the Dean-focussed schmoop comment-meme being held at [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time, and because I am sneaky that way I used all four prompts! An interlude in 5.21, "Two Minutes To Midnight." Set just after the boys and Cas defeat Pestilence, but before they get to Bobby's. It turns out that Pestilence had just one last trick up his sleeve...

Spoilers: All of Season 5 right up until 5.21

Wordcount: 3,342

Warnings: Schmoop. Is that even a warning? My usual casual abuse of the “F” word. More schmoop than has ever schmooped in my fic before (I'm serious: the prompts involved bed-sharing and clothes-sharing and Sam's hoodie. I cannot be held responsible for this).

Disclaimer: If they belonged to me, they'd be sicker a lot more often. *cough*

Neurotic Author's Note: Yeah, so after swearing up and down that I wasn't inspired to write anything, I sat down and churned this out tonight. I don't even know, please don't ask. On the plus side, the schmoop challenge dovetailed nicely with another plot bunny I had in mind for this summer, so I killed two birds with one stone, as it were.

Neurotic Author's Note #2: Plot? What plot? This is all sick!Dean, all the time, with extra sick people as a surprise bonus! (Stop looking at me like that!) I haven't written nearly enough sick!Dean lately.

Neurotic Author's Note #3: The usual: no beta, no revision, no nothing. Read at your own peril.

Neurotic Author's Note #4: Title of the fic is taken from the Cox Family's song of the same name.

I Am Weary Let Me Rest )
ratherastory: (The Fish)
So, uh, yeah. I wrote unabashed crack. Not only is it crack, but it's got RPF in it AND turned vaguely slashy.

DON'T ASK, I CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS. It's the fault of [livejournal.com profile] lassiterfics, as usual, with a helping hand from [livejournal.com profile] hereare_mysins.

Title: Stonedhenge, aka My Title Is a Really Bad Pun
Summary: From a prompt by the lovely and talented and obviously really twisted [livejournal.com profile] hereare_mysins at [livejournal.com profile] lassiterfics Stonehenge Apocalypse/SPN commment-fic meme: CASTIEL/JIMMY/JACOB/FUTURE!CAS(/MISHA). Make it happen. Somehow. O_O *ded* Original prompt and my reply can be found here.
Wordcount: 1,696
Spoilers: Uh, minor ones for Stonehenge Apocalypse, and for SPN up to 5.04. You don't actually have to know the movie or the show to understand the story, though.
Warnings: Drug use (marijuana), and mild swearing. Men kissing men who look like each other. I don't even know.
Disclaimer: Yeah... if I had any claim of ownership, I think this fic right here would count as my forfeit for ALL ETERNITY. Please don't sue, there was NO harm intended here!
Neurotic Author's Note: This is crack. Not even fluffy pseudo-crack the way I've done a few times. No no. CRACK. Then it turned into SLASHY crack. I can't begin to explain this. It's best left alone.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Written off-the-cuff, no beta, no revision, nothing. Just unrevised crack. Pirates Fangirls, ye be warned!

HOLY CRAP WTF EVER THIS IS [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique's FAULT.

I wrote something short enough to fit into one LJ comment box, over at the

The SPN CuddleCommentFic Meme


Title: Foam Hearts
Prompt: [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique wanted: Sam comes into the stupid uptight coffee shop with the burgundy and gold furniture where I used to work this fall, and I make the most spectacular vanilla soy latte he's ever had -- foam like velvet, I swear. Cuddles happen. Original prompt and my response can be found here
Warnings: Holy crap, the SCHMOOP!
Wordcount: 611 (seriously, shortest thing I've written, ever that isn't a drabble)
Disclaimer: Sam isn't mine, and neither is [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique. Both these things make me sad, because cuddles with them would be the most awesome thing ever.
Neurotic Author's Note: IDEK /o\ This is [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique's fault. I wrote in the first person singular, for God's sake! That never happens!
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I wrote this off-the-cuff inside the comment box in the meme. I've never done that before. I cannot be held responsible for the quality of the prose.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: I have never worked in a coffee shop. I am totally making shit up, and had to Google how to make a vanilla soy latte. Yes, I researched for comment-fic. I know.


Foam Hearts )
ratherastory: (Driving)
Title: A Wild Night and a New Road
Summary: It's after the end of the world, and Dean is sick. That's pretty much it. Written for [livejournal.com profile] ariadnes_string as a belated birthday present. She originally asked for Dean with malaria at a comment-fic meme at [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time. So, happy birthday, sweetie! Sorry it's so late.
Spoiler: General Season 5 stuff, but nothing specific after 5.03, I wouldn't think, and they're pretty vague. Vague spoilers for all previous seasons too, obviously.
Wordcount: 4,887
Warnings: None, really. Compared to the usual gore-fest that is my work, there's nothing here. Oh, well, there's the usual swearing. Otherwise? Uh, Dean is feverish. That's about it.
Disclaimer: So I thought maybe I might be allowed to keep them, but then scary people in black suits and blue gloves showed up, and I thought discretion would be the better part of valour in this case and I let them take it all away.
Neurotic Author's Note: So, yeah. Again, no beta, very little revision, all typos, malapropisms and syntax errors are mine and mine alone.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I fought with this fic a LOT. I actually wrote about 2,500 words of it from Sam's POV originally, but it totally didn't work and I had to scrap that and start again, and then Dean kind of refused to get as out of it as I planned, and... yeah. This is just a bit of plotless h/c, really. There's no point, no moral to the story, and I'm posting it now because if I wait for it to be perfect it will never get posted at all. So. There you go.



A Wild Night and a New Road )
ratherastory: (Naturally)
Okay, so today we have an Experiment In Fanfic™, in which [livejournal.com profile] ratherastory is going to run the risk of an epic fail, and start a WIP. I blame [livejournal.com profile] pkwench , because it's all because of her prompt at [livejournal.com profile] ohsam 's latest comment-fic meme, except it sort of dovetailed with the other idea I had a while back about Dean and Jess getting together to look for Sam, and I had to write the first part of the story just to get it down on paper, and the rest of it still needs to, umm, percolate. Or whatever.

Title: Roses in December
Prompt: From the ever-lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] pkwench: Freshman semester at Stanford Sam gets tagged by a car while walking home from work, the library, whatever. His only emergency contact is one Bobby Singer who is attending a "business conference" in New Hampshire. However, he has the number of someone who might be a little closer to Sam and who can probably get there before the boy wakes up. You can totally go permanent injury with that if you like. :) Original prompt can be found here.
Summary: “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” J. M. Barrie. (Okay, not exactly a summary. That's what the prompt was for.)
Spoilers: This is a Season 1 AU, so none.
Wordcount: 3,736 (this section)
Warnings: So far? Not much. A bit of bad language. It's tame by my standards. Otherwise, it features smoking!Dean (just because) and gratuitous leg injury. You know, the usual. ;)
Disclaimer: Disclaiming disclaimer disclaims all that ought to be disclaimed. Furthermore, I disclaim.
Neurotic Author's Note: Okay, so I kind of took the prompt and, uh, did something totally different with it. I set it waaay after freshman year, and kind of went with something a little other than permanent injury, although I suppose it could be permanent, but I just don't know yet. So, uh, yeah. There you go. Sorry, [livejournal.com profile] pkwench.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I don't actually know how long this thing is going to be. I'm still playing with it. It might resolve in just one more chapter, maybe five. Or it could get epic on me, I just don't know. My apologies in advance, because I'm not going to be following my usual rule of updating on a daily schedule until the fic is complete. It's going to be sporadic at best. *cringe*

Master Post

Chapter 1 )

Chapter 2
ratherastory: (There Now)
Written for the Happy Birthday Sammy! comment-fic meme being hosted here at [livejournal.com profile] ohsam.
Title: Cut With Our Own Dust
Prompt: From a prompt by the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] khakigrrl: Burns, tattoos, skin carvings, Enochian symbols... there are a lot of ways to keep demons and angels inside or out of your skin. Sam discovers an intricate symbol that will allow him to wrench back control from Lucifer. Now he just needs someone to carve it into his back. Original prompt can be found here.
Spoilers: Up to 5.18, but really, all of Season 5 is fair game.
Word Count: 2,841
Warnings: Mutilation, lots of blood.
Disclaimer: Let's just say that if they belonged to me, they really wouldn't be in as good physical condition as they are now.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer: Umm, so I whipped this up during a night shift, and now I'm having writer's remorse and feeling all angsty about it. I dunno. I loved the prompt, not sure I did it justice. It kind of went differently than how I expected.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer #2: As usual, no beta, no revision, no nothing. Read at your own peril. I hereby disclaim any responsibility for psychological scarring that results from reading this fic.
Author's Note: The title is taken from a John Webster quote.
