Sin and Cinnamon

Title: Can I Keep Him? - Gentle Lead 2/2
Pairing: permutations of Angel, Puppy, and Xander
Rating/Warnings: NC-17 for graphic sex; strong D/s elements; shades of daddy!kink but not explicit – there's a lot of boy/baby going on, but nobody actually says 'Daddy'.
Author's Notes: Set immediately after xanfan27's fic, Can I Keep Him? The title (Gentle Lead) refers both to Angel's gentle guidance of Puppy in this scene, and to an item used in actual puppy training; a 'gentle lead' is a device used to teach puppies not to pull impatiently at their leashes.

Title: Something with a “D”
Pairing: Xander/Oz
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 for underage m/m kissing
Disclaimer: I just got done reading Joss' latest story, One for the Road, and couldn't help thinking that Mary Sue was never even in the Girl Scouts. But then I thought, you know, he never makes a big deal out of it when I screw with the canon of his characters, so who am I to complain?
Notes: allyndra asked for some pre-Willow high school Xander/Oz. Well, they're not quite in high school, but they're really, really close. Anyhow, this is for her.

This is for my treasured friend, xanfan27, who I've had the distinct pleasure of working with for many months now. Her birthday was yesterday, and she was nice enough to let me play with these boys in celebration. This fic is dedicated to her.

( Chapter 1: Torture )

"You're straight like a drinking straw — the bend's already there, all someone needs to do is give it a little tweak and start sucking." Heeeeeeee.

((I'd link the story, but I'm still in denial that I'm actually reading RPS about N'Sync dubbing porn))

Well, two bits of news.

Most importantly, my muse has finally returned to me, and I was able to write quite a bit this afternoon. This is cause for much rejoicing!

Secondly, windandsummer said nice things about my Hellmouth kitties and requested some Harry Potter ones! I started working on them and then kind of forgot about them because there's been so much else going on this week. But I'm posting what I have, and I'll make some more; at least some animated ones. These aren't quite finished, more of a sneak peek.

Yay! So I'm very pleased with the response my spring_with_xan stuff got. I feel very happy. I'd still like to have a fandom friend or two, but perhaps I haven't written enough or been around long enough for that. And admittedly, I am bad at the leaving feedback unless I'm beta-ing. I work on it, but I slip back into 'silently devouring' mode easily. Ah well!

The husband is away for four days. I'm not sure whether that will mean more time or less, since the son is home with me. We shall see. Plus, I've been reading the, you know, really intimidatingly good authors lately? So even if I have time I may get too depressed by my own skill level to write much. Who knows? I'm continuing to nip away at CWTF even though I am constantly getting new bunnies and have one very persistant one. The persistant one may lure me away if it can convince me that it would make a relatively short (and thus easier to finish) series. Instead, it keeps hopping up with all the fun scenes that I could write. ::tsks the bunny:: I refuse to be lured away until I have a solid outline and hope of finishing it all up. I don't need to start another long WIP.

Title: Like Magic (1/1)
Pairing: Spike/Xander

( Spike and Xander work out a deal... )

I'm in a great mood because I've been doing that random LJ stalking thing I like to do, and man, complete strangers are really entertaining today. Yes, yes, I'm a freak, let's move on.

So, I'm pretty pairing open. I don't really do the OTP thing, although I admit Xander is my favorite. But side pairings are going to be the death of me! I already have a weakness for the idea of Willow/Jenny Calendar... I mean, it just makes so much sense! And I'm tempted to have it in every early season story I write (you know, if I ever actually finish them, instead of just replaying that part where I have Willow wailing "I don't want to steal Giles' girlfriend!" and Xander saying "What? I meant me and Angel!"). And then, the other day, I was just cruising along not even thinking of fanfiction, and some devil on my shoulder started whispering about Giles/Hank... and oh. my. god. I really really want to put it in stuff, starting with CWTF. But I wring my hands and wonder if I'm putting in too many non-canon pairings? Oh, but it would be so much fun! I think I'm going to do it, it wouldn't be hard to work in, he could be meeting up with him in LA for dirty secret illicit weekends where he tells the Scoobies he's meeting up with a contact who might know something, and scrambling for his clothes actual demon research on late Sunday evening before he has to get back to Sunnydale. Besides, I need more slash to balance out the Buffy/Parker stuff, right? I mean, even Hank and Giles deserve love, don't they? And poor Joyce, she doesn't get any love, and I think she's still going to die in my season 5. Ohhh! But then Hank would have an excuse to move back to Sunnydale... because we don't want to yank Dawn and Buffy out of school and down to LA, right? Aaaaaand it just happens to mean he can sneak in more sex cuddles with Rupert. Yes, I'm definitely doing this. Possibly with Buffy walking in on it at some point. :::adores my newfound infrequently written pairing:::
