Rating: Explicit
Warnings: BDSM, consent issues, prostitution
Open to collab: possibly
Summary:
A Kushiel's Dart AU. Pete is an anguissette, earning out his marque in Valerian House. He's far from an obedient and well-behaved Adept, though, and the House's motto of "I yield" doesn't fit what he feels in his heart.

#2
Bands: My Chemical Romance
Pairing: Frank/Gerard/Grant
Rating: boning, so much boning, boning like it's going out of style
Warnings: none
Open to collab: yes
Summary:
Gerard Way is one of the finest skalds in the kingdom, and one of the few invited by the queen herself to perform at the kingdom's centennial celebrations. But everything he's worked so hard for is thrown into jeopardy when he finds himself the target of a nasty curse. After all, what is a skald without a voice?

Desperate to break the curse, and to keep anyone from finding out about his affliction, Gerard seeks help from the kingdom's most powerful—and reclusive—wizard, Grant Morrison. Morrison and his assistant, Frank Iero, quickly determine that the curse on Gerard is both intensely complicated and insidiously specific. To break it, they'll need to search the kingdom for the spell's origin, and then work to unravel its many layers. With the centennial celebrations only a few weeks away, the clock is ticking...

But even as they work to untangle the layers of the curse on the skald, Grant and Frank are equally tangled up in their feelings for one another. And with Gerard staying with them for the duration, things become even more complicated, as both of them find themselves attracted to him, as well. As they get closer to breaking the curse, the three of them find themselves drawn closer and closer together, and Gerard becomes determined to help Grant and Frank sort themselves out, even as he realizes that he has feelings for them both.

Summary:
All across the country, strange things are starting to happen - although "strange" is relative for Gerard Way, whose day job is hunting down monsters alongside his changeling brother, Mikey. But now something is coming, something too big for even the Ways to handle. Hunters and monsters alike are running scared, so Gerard and Mikey pack up their secrets and their nightmares (and their extensive collection of firearms) and set out in pursuit of information. Their quest for answers will take them and their old Trans Am all the way from the small towns of New York State to the swamps of Louisiana, crossing paths with the burnt-out ruins of the legendary crew Leathermouth and America's last prophet. It's a dirty, dangerous job, but someone has to do it. And before long, the Ways find themselves thrown together with vengeful rival hunters, highly-strung psychics, voodoo queens, chaos magicians and homicidal barmaids as they prepare to face the ancient evil slumbering deep below the murky waters of Lake Pontchartrain.

Pairing: Pete/Patrick
Rating: Explicit

After a couple bumps along the way, Pete makes Patrick laugh on-camera and falls head over heels. Will Patrick be okay with Operation Best Friend turning into a romantic project? (Spoilers: Yes. Yes he will.) Featuring: Pete wanting to go slow in the bedroom, Patrick the high-school grad talking about his frisky A/V club, and generally self-indulgent fluff.

#8
Bands: MCR, FOB, Cobra Starship, MSI
Pairing: Mikey Way/Ray Toro
Rating: unknown
Open to collab? no
Warnings: Fairly graphic descriptions of canon-typical violence, addiction, substance abuse, character death, mild sexual content
Summary:
What you get when you try to clash Killjoys canon with X-Men-inspired mutants and hope it works out for the best.

Mikey Way is a Battery City citizen, who just scrapes getting by. He deals with his brother, he doesn't take his pills, and he deals with having fire powers (albeit kind of badly). However, when he gets arrested and offered a job in the mysterious S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W divison, he takes it. Suddenly, his life spirals out of control- his brother has disappeared, his job makes him sick, and he's taking his pills because of his new and scary boss.

At the center of this is Ray, his hot boyfriend; a mysterious graffiti artist called Party Poison; and a struggle between humans and mutants that has being going on for a lot longer than anyone had ever realised.

#9
Bands: Jjamz, The Like, Ryan Ross
Pairing: Ryan & Z
Rating: T
Warnings: references to substance abuse
Open to collab? yes
Summary:
Ryan and Z and puppies and kittens and birds of a feather, oh my! (The Wizard of Oz was not harmed in the making of this fic.) Ryan and Z work a lot better as co-dependant close friends than they did as boyfriend and girlfriend. It might have been better if they’d figured that out before they tried to date, but better late than never, right? Together, they spend some time remembering that growing up is a process that never ends, and that
sometimes it’s a process that’s easier to deal with when you leave yourself some time to smell the flowers (metaphorically) and feed the ducks (not metaphorically).

Background pairings and past relationships alluded to. Most of the things that sound kind of odd here are actually references to things that Ryan and Z have posted to various social media platforms. Not the hummingbirds, though. The hummingbirds are entirely fictional.

The so called Saturday Killer makes the members of Fall Out Boy pariahs, and but it's hard to tell whether they are being framed, or attacked themselves.

How can four friends possibly survive as deaths continue to hit closer and closer to home.

Warnings: None
