Title: Expectations
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Verse: canon
Relationship: none
Summary: Damon realizes that physical age doesn't have to define him.
Notes: Long time no see! This is a character study brought on by a late night conversation (one of several, I'm afraid) between me and whitemage about adulthood and transitions and how it must suck for Damon, forever stuck upon that cusp.

( The worst part about being eternally twenty five.... )

Title: Coffee Break
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Universe: A Normal Life
Relationships: platonic Damon+Stefan, platonic Damon+Jeremy, platonic Stefan+Tyler+Matt, platonic Damon+Tyler, platonic Damon+Matt
Summary: Stefan hosts an overnight cramming session at the Salvatore House - and Damon can't help protectively caring for them all.
Notes: Trying to kickstart my motivation for ANL again, so I've been writing out of order snippets that may or may not be canonical. This may spoil later chapters (since it was designed to take place between Chapters 19 and 20, neither of which have been released), and I apologize to eagle-eyed readers who may catch the hints!

To those who need context: this is an AU where Stefan & Damon were human warlocks and raised along with Elena and company, and their relationship dynamics have shifted as a result of the familiarity.

( This year, Stefan had invited the boys for an overnight study session. )

Title: Staying Alive
Fandom: Vampire Diaries
Universe: A Normal Life
Relationship: platonic Tyler Lockwood + Mason Lockwood
Summary: After discovering Stefan's magical secret, Tyler starts to plan for the absolute worst. His new habit hasn't gone unnoticed by his family.
Notes: This may or may not be canonical! I'm still debating on keeping Richard Lockwood alive - and this story acts as if he never died, so it's debatable. Either way, this takes place after Mason returns to town.

( Most people didn't anticipate the supernatural. )

Title: Experimentation
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Universe: Threeblade (next-generation)
Summary: During the summer, Kyros likes to experiment with recipes and spend his afternoons cooking. Primarily because there's nothing else to do, but also partially because it just feels fulfilling.
Notes: Written as a character study! I've been thinking a lot about my Kingdom Hearts OCs lately, and what better way to flesh them out than by writing about them? Granted, some bits and pieces have changed since I last entered this fandom, but hopefully some has remained the same. ♥

( Sometimes, Kyros liked to experiment. )

Title: Babysitting
Fandom: DC Comics + Digimon 02/Adventure crossover (with mentions of High School Musical)
Universe: Sharpay's Crossover Adventure
Relationship: platonic Tom+Jason, platonic Jason+Jensen, implied Tompay, implied Jaymi
Summary: Tom's babysitting this kid, Jensen, tonight, but Jensen's much more interested in Jason as a babysitter.
Notes: Written for Father's Day! Honestly, this fic's been on the backburner for six months now, so it wasn't pulled out of nowhere. However, because of the way life turned out, it doesn't quite end here.

( Over the years, Tom's brownstone had hosted so many people that you barely noticed the newer guests. )

Inspired by me archive-crawling through old SCA fic and reading this year old comment (the entry is f-locked, sorry y'all!).

Title: Friend Request
Universe: Sharpay's Crossover Adventure
Relationship: Justin/Juliet (mention only)
Summary: Peyton got so tired of Tom knowing all of his friends that he decided to take matters into his own hands... and meet someone new in the one place on NYU campus where he's certain NO ONE has heard Tom Bronson's name before.

( You were really getting tired of this. )

Title: Movie Night
Fandom: DC Comics + High School Musical crossover
Universe: Sharpay's Crossover Adventure
Rating: G
Relationship: Sharpay Evans + Maxine Hunkel (platonic), Maxine Hunkel + Tom Bronson (platonic)
Summary: Maxine's heading over to Tom's place to watch a movie! ... Instead, she ends up spending the evening with Sharpay and gains a new movie partner out of her.

( You never pegged Tom as the kind of guy who'd willingly marathon movies with you. )

Title: Something in the Water
Fandom: Young Justice (the animated series)
Characters: Artemis Crock, Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Bette Kane, Tom Bronson, Kyle Rayner (mention only), M'gann M'orzz (mention only), Wally West (mention only)
Summary: There had to be something in the water. Why else would Gotham Academy kids act so weird?

( Something funny had to be in the water. )

Title: Party of Three
Fandoms: DC Comics + High School Musical crossover (includes mentions of Uncharted)
Characters: Peyton Leverett, Tom Bronson, Bart Allen, Vicki Vale, Sharpay Evans (mention only), Maxine Hunkel (mention only), Nate Drake (mention only), Elena Fisher (mention only), Jake Bronson (mention only), Tigress (mention only), Captain Cold (mention only), Roulette (mention only)
Summary: Takes place ten years after SCA. Peyton and Tom reunite over an old dinner... and both simultaneously deal with the unexpected addition of one Bart Allen to their dinner party. And what's this about Flash and the Wildcat being in town?
Rating: PG (for language)
Disclaimer: None of this belongs to me! I think you know who owns what by now. ♥

( The minute you heard that your old friend from college was in town, you planned the best dinner you could afford. )

Something short and sweet for camalyng! I promised her I'd fic this, and well... it came out a little too short for me, but it's the start of a hilarious ship for sure. :D

Title: The Arrest
Fandoms: Uncharted and DC Comics crossover
Rating: PG, mainly for language
Summary: Security detail at a museum's usually pretty boring. For Wildcat, however, tonight ended up being more exciting than he bargained for (and then some).
Disclaimer: Pretty obvious one; none of this is mine.

( Wildcat hated security detail. )
