~~~Advent Day 13~~~


Title: Four First Kisses Mohinder and Sylar Could Have Shared, and One They Never Will
Fandom: Heroes
Pairing: Mohinder/Sylar(Zane, Gabriel)
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2650
Notes: Number 5 on perdiccas's Christmas Wishlist. She wanted a first kiss, well, I couldn't do just one. xD Four are semi-canon-compliant, one is just totally AU.


( sweet, salt, bitter, sour... )

~~~Advent Day 4~~~

Title: Koi no Ishi
Fandom: Heroes
Pairing: Adam/Hiro
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 850
Notes: ...possibly really pretentious, or just way too many metaphors. Also, the first Advent story to not be porn! *gasp*




In the darkness, once he's filtered out the sound of his own breath, his own heartbeat, when there is nothing but the black and his memories, Adam goes a little more mad with every moment.

( apparently, sensory deprivation can make you trip... )

Title: Weakness
Fandom: Heroes
Pairing: Squint and you'll see Sylar/Noah.
Rating: PG-13 for language
Word count: 403
Notes: Prompt was "Sylar gets tickled." AS IF I COULD PASS THAT UP.

( You're a loserface. No, you are! Well, so's your mom! )

Title: Making Faces
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Owen/Toshiko
Rating: PG-13 for language
Words: 837
Author's note: for omgimnaked, written while off my ass on jello shots. ♥


"You can do better," Ianto says sympathetically, and Owen loves to eavesdrop almost as much as he loves to insult people. Lurking around the corner, he can tell his teammates' voices easily.

"It's true," Gwen pitches in softly. "I mean, he's funny-looking, if you think about it."

"Well, of course I know that," Tosh sounds harried, defensive, and Owen wonders what sad-looking bastard has dibs on breaking Tosh's heart this time. "But I love him anyway, stupid big mouth and beady eyes and, and his ears and his ridiculous hair--!" She sucks in a rough breath and it's all Owen can do not to look as Gwen murmurs something comforting.

( he looks like Kermit! )

Tin Man fic. (shut up shut up.) Set after the end: light has returned to the O.Z. but that doesn't set things to rights. Glitch/Cain.

Title: Owe You One
Fandom: Tin Man
Pairing: Cain/Glitch
Rating: PG-13
Words: ~1300
--

DG wouldn't let them go, even if they'd wanted to-- which none of them did-- and it felt good to be in a familiar position again, star on his chest and gun in his hand and a mandate for justice tucked in his pocket with Jeb's toy horse. Cain was busy enough those first couple of weeks, patrolling the city and seeing out the bulk of Azkadelia's unsavory followers; it was a relief to come back to the castle and a warm welcome. Raw looked different with his tangled mane combed out and his furs brushed clean, and DG was a vision in dresses befitting her place as a princess of the realm. The greatest change was in Glitch-- or rather, Ambrose, brain fully restored thanks to DG's magic and Raw's healing powers.
