fic, Lost: Way Down In The Hole (Desmond), very light R, for [info]elliotsmelliot  
Title: Way Down In The Hole
Rating: very light R for one thing that happens at some point
Characters: Desmond
Words: 3835
Summary: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, execute, 108.
Spoilers: up to LTDA.
Disclaimer: if it was mine I’d have never been so sadistic towards Desmond *pouts*
A/N: for Queen [info]elliotsmelliot at [info]lostsquee with all of my best courtsy wishes and shared love for the man inside the blue shirt, even if he doesn’t wear it here. Not really of the happy sort and probably not very in line with the prompt, but hereby is Desmond’s staying in the hatch after the plane crashes. ♥ Using also for [info]10_shakespeare, "I shall do my friends no wrong, for I have none to lament me, the world no injury, for in it I have nothing; only in the world I fill up a place, which may be better supplied when I have made it empty." Title stolen from the Queen-knows-what ;)

fic, Lost: And I'll Meet You Further On Up The Road (ensemble), PG13, for [info]lenina20  
*bows in front of Queen [info]lenina20

Title: And I'll Meet You Further On Up The Road
Rating: PG13
Characters/Pairings: The Oceanic Six, Desmond, Ben, Walt, Sawyer, Jin, Juliet, Claire, Boone, Shannon, Charlie and Christian (with some Jack/Juliet, Sun/Jin and help me, sliiight Sawyer/Kate)
Words: 4200
Summary: The Oceanic Six come back on the island.
Spoilers: up to the S4 finale.
Disclaimer: Surely not mine.
A/N: so, Her Majesty [info]lenina20 at [info]lostsquee asked for the O6 coming back and I guess I sort of covered everything. There are ghosts, a couple of resurrections, no one that we weren't sure was dead is dead, the ending is probably crazy enough and implies something that I hope never happens on the show and it was sort of really based on Further On Up The Road by Bruce Springsteen. Also, I you haven't read wrong on the pairing listing, even if I doubt it's ever going to happen again any time sooner ;) ♥ I really hope you like it!

“Welcome back, Ben.”, Richard replies. Ben nods. There’s no place like home, indeed. )

fic, Lost: Meet Me at the Wrecking Ball (Kate/Sayid), R, for [info]aboutbunnies  
Title: Meet Me at the Wrecking Ball
Rating: R *cough*
Pairing: Kate/Sayid
Words: 2600
Summary: Kate has to wonder for a second about how funny is this; his suit, hair and smile are just as fake as her elegant silk dress, nice combing and smile are and as their dinner in a five star restaurant will be.
Spoilers: up to the S4 finale.
Disclaimer: well, not mine and I don't think this would have happened if I wrote it but... ;)
A/N: for Queen [info]aboutbunnies at [info]lostsquee, who had Kate/Sayid among the requests. Now, that wouldn't be my first pairing of choice and this would be the first time I try it (and of course from Kate's POV since I'm a total masochist), so uhm, I'll take the rotten tomatoes and please go easy on me *lays at Queen's feet*. Also, even if the rest sucks, there's some suit!Sayid, which I hope will make up for any wrong I might do here. Title stolen from a line in a Emmylou Harris song.

The hotel in Fiji is a five star one and Kate doesn’t doubt that Ben saw it as some particularly sharp kind of irony. )

Fic, Lost: In Repair (Desmond, Sayid, slashy if you squint), for [info]lostpicksix  
Thank Jacob for catch-up days. I might try to catch up with the only other Queen I missed today, if I get the inspiration.

Title: In Repair
Rating: PG13 to be sure
Pairing: very platonic Desmond/Sayid
Words: 2400
Summary: He doesn’t wait for permission and sits next to Sayid on the couch, placing the ice cream bowl in front of him on the small table; he almost wants to laugh when Sayid turns his head and looks at him with a completely surprised expression that Desmond didn’t even think him capable of doing. Sayid didn’t seem one that could get surprised by many things, after all.
Spoilers: up to the S4 finale.
Disclaimer: ha, not mine. I doubt it'll end so well for both of them.
A/N: queen [info]astra2104 at [info]lostsquee asked for ice, for which I tried like, three different plots but wouldn't work. Then I had the idea and it wanted to be for my second closeted OTP, which I hope the Queen will enjoy nonetheless ;) using for [info]lostpicksix #22, domestic bliss, even if it's a very twisted domestic bliss. Title stolen from John Mayer and I swear it took more to find it than to write the whole thing.

Desmond still is kind of surprised that Sayid has accepted to go and stay with him for at least that month when he asked, after they were back from the island for good. )

fic, Lost: See You In Another Life (or five times Jack and Desmond kissed), R  
*bows in front of Queen [info]elise_509

Her Majesty asked for either the women of Lost or Jack; I tried with writing something for Juliet but it didn't want to come together so I went for some icons of your favorite ladies and a ficlet using plan B.



11 more here )

Title: See You In Another Life (or five times Jack and Desmond kissed)
Rating: light R
Pairing: Jack/Desmond
Words: 1000
Summary: What the title says.
Spoilers: up to the S4 finale.
Disclaimer: Sooo not mine. Even if one of the five actually happened.
A/N: so, I remembered that once sometime after the finale Her Highness said I should write Jack/Desmond and since my Jack/Sawyer muse is sort of reluctant after I tortured her these days I went with it. I had wanted to give it a try for a while anyway, so I hope you like it! *lays at Queen's feet*

The first time is in the showers of the stadium’s changing room. )

Fic, Lost: And Love Is Not a Victory March (Sawyer/Juliet), R, for [info]slybrunette  
Title: And Love Is Not a Victory March
Rating: light R
Pairing: Sawyer/Juliet
Words: 1700
Summary: The fourth, the firth, the minor fall and the major lift. It’s translated for piano, but it’s pretty much the same. Not so secret chord, and Sawyer figures it wouldn’t please God that much.
Spoilers: up to the S4 finale.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine, the song is Leonard Cohen's and Jeff Buckley's I guess, I'm poor, don't sue me.
A/N: Queen [info]slybrunette at [info]lostsquee asked for fic inspired by music, at which I very much am glad to comply, since it's exactly what I usually do. But since lately I've been all Springsteen and I figured it wouldn't make much difference and that I could use a break, please accept my meager offering based on Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, to download here if needed. Also, it'd be my first try at the pairing so please go easy on me *lays at Queen's feet with apologies for the delay*.

It’s all semantics shit anyway; it takes a preposition to change an entire meaning and he is well-read enough to think he knows the difference between loving someone and being in love with them. )

Okay. My term is over and until September I'm free. Not that I don't have to work on some stuff but no pressure. Which means that now I'll be so catching up with the luau I missed yesterday and after I catch up also with the writing I'll probably gift myself with a couple episodes of The Wire and I'll finally go buying Springsteen's latest EP which was out the other day. Expect late feedback ;)

Boone ficlets for [info]un_love_you and Queen [info]halfdutch, around 2100 words total  
So, it's Boone day at [info]lostsquee and right, I need to be the Boone geek on Boone day. I had one idea for a gen one but it was way too depressing and the Queen had listed so many option that I couldn't resist. Hey, no one can say I can't do variety! These are all for Queen [info]halfdutch, with much congratulations for giving me a chance to indulge in my favorite things ;)

Title: Like Bad Ideas on a Beautiful Day
Rating: light R
Pairing: Sayid/Boone
Words: 550
Summary: They have that half of a lash out because he told the truth when he was asked. Sayid and Shannon, who else. Every other day, he would have searched for her. This one, he searches for him.
Spoilers: through ... In Translation.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. Boone isn't either but I'd like to lay a claim on him, since you know, they don't care.
A/N: using for [info]un_love_you #21, You'll do. Well, I had been wanting to try those two for a while. Why not? Title stolen from Ryan Adams because I'm currently listening to it and I couldn't find one.

Sayid says something like 'this is so very wrong' and Boone is inclined to agree, but he doesn’t stop and Sayid doesn’t either. )

Title: All Apologies
Rating: light R
Pairing: Sawyer/Boone
Words: 550
Summary: And for how much of an asshole Sawyer could be, the last thing Boone wanted was having him tortured of anything.
Spoilers: through Whatever The Case May Be.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. Boone isn't either but I'd like to lay a claim on him, since you know, they don't care.
A/N: using for [info]un_love_you, #2, I was wrong about you. I can't resist myself some Sawyer/Boone sexing up I must say. Title stolen from Nirvana.

Well, see you around, princess, and don’t you get sunburned ‘cause you ain’t gettin’ another one )

Title: The Art of Un-Living
Rating: PG13
Pairing: sort of Charlie/Boone
Words: 550
Summary: This fact that between them, there’s really no difference because from dead to dead, it feels like they were still alive should make him unsettled, but at this point it really doesn’t.
Spoilers: through the S4 finale.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. Boone isn't either but I'd like to lay a claim on him, since you know, they don't care.
A/N: using for [info]un_love_you #5, you can be like me. Again, I can't resist dead!Boone. Especially with dead!Charlie.

“How can I do what?” “This... this sodding being dead but not really business, there it is.” )

Title: Perfect
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Jack/Boone
Words: 500
Summary: His lips slightly turn up into a small smile when he closes his eyes and everything he feels is the beating of Jack’s heart and the feeling of Jack’s warm skin against his chest.
Spoilers: through ... In Translation.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. Boone isn't either but I'd like to lay a claim on him, since you know, they don't care.
A/N: using for [info]un_love_you #14, I'm awake and you're breathing. Because I have a OTP, damn it. This is more or less descriptive rambling but well, I took the prompt to the letter. Title stolen from Smashing Pumpkins really.

His hands go to Jack’s arm; he traces the tattoos there lightly, with the tip of his fingers, careful not to wake him up. )

Fic, Lost: Mother in Law (Jack/Sawyer, Margo), PG13  
Well, I have no excuse except the luau.

Title: Mother In Law
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer, Margo Shephard being a special guest
Word counting: 4000
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: They're not mine and the song I stole from is Springsteen's.
Spoilers: for the S4 finale. Totally AU after that.
Summary: He waits for the small nod he’s sure will come, then turns back and presses his head against the seat before starting up again, trying to remember how exactly has he ended in this fucked up situation, driving Jack’s mom to an employment agency for the last three days. Because right now it seems just surreal, too surreal for him to believe it’s actually happening.
A/N: for Queen [info]invisiblelove at [info]lostsquee, who wanted happy Jack/Sawyer. Well, I had had this bunny since forever and it is happy. Please take as your reference the Margo we saw in the finale because if we went on the White Rabbit canon she'd be completely OOC. This was heavily inspired by Bruce Springsteen's Sherry Darling and yes, I'm obsessed. I sort of am. I hope the Queen enjoys!

The day Jack tells him his mom must really like him, Sawyer answers that it’s just because of the rides. )

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere - Lost S1 Fanmix for [info]falafel_musing  
I present with my royal apologies my late offering! Blame university crap :/ anyway, I think some fic will come off that prompt, too, but I need to decide what to settle on since I have a few ideas. Meanwhile, please former [info]lostsquee Queen [info]falafel_musings, accept my musical take on the S1 ensemble. (Un)fortunately (?) my walkman and Hurley's aren't really on the same wave, some of the choices were done for pure crack value and there isn't Arzt or Ethan... but there's Rose AND Vincent! ;) I'll explain everything under the cut anyway so don't fear.

*facepalms*  
So today my term was supposed to be over but the professor had degrees in the afternoon and half of the people, including myself, are taking the exam on Friday morning. *sigh* Oh well, guess that now I'll catch up with the luau I missed yesterday, take the rest of the morning off and then get back on Greek philosophy in the afternoon, do more or less the same tomorrow and then I'll be half MIA on Thursday. Not that I can't use some more time anyway.

Also, why did John Mayer have a new record out and I didn't know it? Not that it's ever been out here anyway, truth to be told.

Fic, Lost: Tunnel of Love (Desmond/Penny, Sun/Jin, sorta Jack/Sawyer, Charlie/Claire, Sayid/Nadia)  
Title: Tunnel of Love
Pairing: Desmond/Penny, Sun/Jin, Charlie/Claire, Sayid/Nadia, sort of Jack/Sawyer
Word counting: 1300
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: Since it's everybody going to weddings, I figure Lost is soo not mine.
Spoilers: AU for S3. Let's say up to One of Us. Implies that everyone got rescued then and that Penny rescued them in person. Also, Charlie didn't die. Ha.
Summary: Desmond suddenly finds that he can’t wait. His hand goes to her shoulder, awakening her. There’s only one thing he can say, as soon as he speaks, not letting her speak first.
A/N: Queen [info]thespiansparkle asked for marriages and since her OTP is Des/Penny, here I deliver twelve drabbles (one 200 words) with scenes from their wedding and also from before, sadly not in chronological order because I'm weird. But since the Queen will surely indulge me in my Springsteen-crazy ideas, seeing how we approve of the man, she won't surely mind that I structured this thing around my favorite record of his, which would be Tunnel of Love (yes, I am indeed weird) ;) I hope I didn't end up in Sap Land really. *lays humble offer at the Queen's feet*

He knows he won’t have another chance to propose; but if he does, he swears to himself that he won’t make the same mistake. )

Fics, Lost: I Don't Need the Same (Shannon, Boone) / Laying It Down(Jack, Sawyer), both PG13  
Okay, so two ficlets for today's Queens at [info]lostsquee

Title: I Don't Need the Same
Characters: Boone, Shannon
Word counting: 550
Rating: PG13, still implies half-incest ;)
Disclaimer: Meh, not mine.
Spoilers: Nothing past Abandoned.
Summary: It takes dying to make them realize that maybe they had it all wrong all along and maybe two hours to realize that what hasn’t worked when they were alive won’t work now that they aren’t.
A/N: this one is for Queen [info]kayim who favors Shannon and Boone. As I need more excuses to write those two, even if this isn't probably anything you had in mind. I hope I get you to buy it though ;) using also for [info]un_love_you #27, author's choice (better as friends).

Three days after Shannon dies, Boone asks her whether she missed the old times. )

Title: Laying It Down
Pairing: Jack, Sawyer
Word counting: 550
Rating: PG13 to be sure
Disclaimer: Not mine, you'd have had J/S sex in Catch 22 if they did.
Spoilers: Up to Catch 22.
Summary: Jack takes the deck of cards out of his pocket, putting it over a pile of books standing next. “I thought that maybe you’d like a re-match.”
A/N: while this one is for Queen [info]siluria who favors Jack and Sawyer, hoping that I managed to deliver ;) the title utterly sucks but I couldn't find a better one *sigh*.

It doesn’t take Jack much to do the maths. )

Fic, Lost: Moments Have You (Jack/Sawyer), hard R or very light NC17, for [info]inthekeyofd  
Title: Moments Have You
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer
Word counting: 1300
Rating: hard R or very light NC17, your pick
Disclaimer: Not mine. Come on, if they were I'd be much richer than I am.
Spoilers: Nothing. And completely AU, so I don't know, they've been rescued before the S2 finale but after the poker game when they understood they were made for each other or something.
Summary: Sawyer had been the one to buy the new sheets. Double-face sheets, white on one side and black on the other, of a nice, soft cotton.
A/N: for Queen [info]inthekeyofd at [info]lostsquee, who asked for Jack/Sawyer, white, black and both of the sets of dimples. I should have covered all here ;) I hope you'll like yours truly's offer! By the way, completely without any plot whatsoever. I really hope it works. Title from a John Frusciante song not because it has a thing to do with this but because I know the Queen will get a kick out of it ;)

Fic, Lost: Somewhere Along the Line I Slipped off Track (Jack/Shannon), R  
*bows in front of Queen [info]eponine119 *

Title: Somewhere Along the Line I Slipped off Track
Rating: R
Characters: Jack/Shannon, implied Shannon/Boone and Jack/Boone
Words: 1000.
Summary: The only thing he says is that he’s sorry; it’s the only thing she says, too..
Spoilers: through The Greater Good.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. Why, would I write it in this setting if it was?
A/N: queen [info]eponine119, asking for unusual pairings, expressed preference for Jack/Shannon. Now, I really tried, but being on the Jack/Boone side of the fence (and on the Boone side of the fence anyway) brought my head to this which I'm afraid is utterly depressing. I hope you like it anyway! *bows* using also for [info]un_love_you #19, this isn't about you at all, even if it could be a bit of a cheat. Title stolen from Springsteen's One Step Up, which doesn't have a thing to do with this whatsoever.

The only point is that Boone is dead, they aren’t and he probably would be disgusted at the both of them, but well, thinking more about it, maybe he wouldn’t. )

I'm random. Yay!  
Okay, so I don't know when I'm ever going to get around to those, but I'm taking icon/stuff requests here. If anyone from here who isn't a member there wants anything, there's a special pass ;)

Studying is going decently. Thankfully I only have to revise stuff that I had already studied during the course. If only it hadn't been a month since looking at it.. God, I can't wait for it to pass.

[info]bachlava, I'm seriously envying you right now by the way. You're in my favorite place in the world! *envies you* I hope you went for Greek, but it's me not being too fond of Egypt in the first place ;)

And I finished Kavalier and Clay sort of two weeks ago and didn't review it, but that'd be the best book I read in a long time. A very long time. And is it bad that I totally was shipping two people there? Also, go me for figuring out a quite fundamental point one hundred pages before I was proved right, lol.

And since I'm random, movie meme stolen from [info]pnr.

yay for me being a complete movie geek )

Fic, Lost: Networking (Charlie, pretty much everyone else), PG13, for [info]toestastegood  
Title: Networking
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Charlie, Charlie/surprise person, mostly everyone else, Jack/Sawyer and occasional Jack/Sawyer/Sayid implied
Words: 2755, but most of it is dialogue/chatting.
Summary: Claire invites Charlie to a chatroom with the rest of the survivors.
Spoilers: goes AU from One of Us.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. Reading this, you'll realize why.
A/N: queen [info]toestastegood at [info]lostsquee asked for Charlie and the Internet. I fear that this is way too crack (and probably too stupid) for what you had in mind and I sincerely apologize for the total madness of this thing, but I had the plot and wouldn't go away. I hope you like it nonetheless and that my crack muse didn't take a false step! Though the ending should make up for any wankiness of this. Also, I know that there isn't the Internet hour in prisons and that the ending is completely arbitrary but since this is crack, I take everything as artistic license. It goes AU from One of Us because it implies that they were all rescued at a time between that episode and Catch 22. Using for [info]10_shakespeare, 'What case am I in?'. Title stolen from Warren Zevon.

While sitting in front of his laptop with a cup of hot tea, the noise from the street arriving muffled through the closed windows, Charlie stopped one second to think about how weird did that feel, for a second. )

Rules.

1. Pick a hot guy... take a moment to think.
2. Is this really the guy you want?
3. Pick his top 10 hottest, cutest, most irresistible pictures.
4. Tag 5 other users. If you're on my FL and are a considerate person, you WILL do it ;)

NOT dial up friendly.

hot guy #1 )

hot guy #2, some fifteen years older than #1 )

hot guy #3, some thirteen years more than #2 and the still the finest back of r'n'r history. )
