So it's once again time for halfamoon. I don't write a lot of woman/female-oriented fiction. No real reason, I guess I'm just too busy writing about the guys. But my 2011 Big Bang, which was mostly about John and his boys, started out with about 5000 words of Mary's story. It was one of the parts I enjoyed writing the most, and it makes me think I should explore women characters more often. As halfamoon is fine with previously posted works, I'm posting just that part of the story here, so I can link to that comm.

Title: Gather Near to Us Once More
Characters: Sam/Dean, Bobby
Rating: G
Word count: 1220
Warnings: None
Summary: Written for insmallpackages. The prompt was Supernatural: ficlet, present-opening, first curtain!fic Christmas, Sam/Dean or Sam n Dean. It's Sam/Dean, but mostly in my head. It feels a little late for a Christmas story, but here it is. It's actually a timestamp for To the place I belong. Title from "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Sappy, I know. I couldn't help it.

Title: Waltz of the Flowers
Rating: R
Pairing Sam/Dean
Warnings: None
Summary: Something is killing ballerinas at the Pittsburgh Ballet. Takes place sometime in some nebulous future.
Notes: This was written for 50states_spn. So, I researched folklore and local legends in the 'Burgh and came up with a couple of haunted libraries. While Sam might like that, I was bored. And I wanted to write about something in my city that I know and love, and the Dormont Library wasn't it. So, I made this up completely. The Pittsburgh Ballet Theater isn't the least bit haunted, as far as I know. You could look at this as a bit of PBT RPF, but I would imagine the members of the company would prefer you didn't. The whole thing is farcical enough as it is.

So, I wrote a Suits drabble for insmallpackages. The prompt was "Donna and Mike having coffee."

Fic Title: Baby, You're so Real
Fandom/Genre: SPN, bodyswap
Pairing(s): Sam/Dean
Rating: PG
Word Count: c.6000
Warnings: Not really.
Summary: It's not enough that Lucifer is popping up in Sam's head all the time, now Sam has to deal with looking in the mirror and seeing his brother's face. Not to mention, he has to listen to Dean complain about being tall. He can only hope that Dean and Bobby will figure out a way to reverse whatever the hell's happening, because it's making Sam dizzy.
Notes: I had a lot of fun with this one, and violateraindrop was a delight to work with. Many thanks to topaz119 - I kept her busy this week. Title from Matchbox 20, yet again. Also, this is labeled Sam/Dean, but it's more UST than anything else.

This is just a tiny little ficlet for topaz119 for her birthday. Next year, we should perhaps be at the Food and Wine Festival? ♥

Pairing(: Jensen/Jared
Warnings: None
Prompt Title & Summary: #14 In Bed with the Boss

For three years, Kalera has been a model secretary to Duncan Royal, with only one hiccup in their otherwise perfect relationship: a one-night stand that should never have happened, and which both have tried to forget. Or so Kalera thought.
But Duncan is haunted by their one night of unbelievable passion, and secretly longs for their relationship to develop after office hours. As a rule, he can have any woman he wants—so he's furious when Kalera announces her engagement to another man! Whatever it takes, Duncan intends to entice Kalera into his bed once more—and this time it will be forever.

Summary: For the five years that Jared Padalecki has owned the Albuquerque Isotopes, Jensen Ackles has been his perfect assistant. Two years ago, they had a one-night stand. It was awesome, but they decided business and pleasure really didn't mix and agreed to forget it ever happened. Jared has no clue that he harbors real feelings for Jensen. He merely thinks that he thinks Jensen is hot, but when Jensen announces his intention to marry another man, Jared realizes he's actually in love with Jensen. Now he has to figure out how to convince Jensen that he feels the same.

Author's notes:Okay, I took a real minor league baseball team, the Albuquerque Isotopes – how awesome is that name? – and made up a bunch of lies about it. Or at least about the people who own it, work for it, and play for it. Their mascot really is a 6'5" red alien named Orbit, though. Title from Walt Whitman, on Union soldiers playing baseball during the Civil War. Many thanks to topaz119, who helped me dream this up. Thanks to ebcdic for such a fun challenge.

Title: To the place I belong
Characters: Sam, Dean, Bobby
Word count: 4800
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Summary: Dean's tired, but Sam wants to keep going for as long as he can. Future!fic.
Notes: Written for spn_summergen. I wrote this for embroiderama, which was great fun, since she was also my recipient for spnspringfling. (Two gen stories in a row, both for the same person. I was so inspired, my Big Bang ended up being gen, too.) I used her prompt "Dean stops hunting and settles down, but Sam keeps hunting until a permanent injury makes him stop." And now I get to post it with all the typos fixed, which is very exciting. Oh, and the title is from "Take Me Home, County Roads" by John Denver. So many thanks to topaz119, as usual, for the beta.

( I'm tired, Sam. )
