Fics: Fake News

Unless otherwise specified, all stories feature on-screen characters rather than actors.

Novels and Epic AUs

California Boys
fluff, romance | Jon/"Stephen", Olivia, Kristen, other correspondents | through PG-13
Canon-compliant version: "Stephen" and a man known only as "Jonathan" are a gay couple in early-'90s California, where they run an upscale dog grooming salon. Full-cast AU version: the area is populated by other Daily Show cast members, with age-fudging as necessary.

Castle Down | Castle Walls | Castles In The Sand
illustrated | action, romance, fantasy, crack, drama, hurt/comfort | Jon/"Stephen", Kristen/Olivia, "Stephen"/Tad/Amy, "Stephen"/BillO, Lizz Winnstead, correspondents, TCR staff, ensemble | through R
Tales from a magical mystical medieval AU, full of gratuitous glowing gemstones and golden glasses. If you have a thing for rich and detailed original worldbuilding, this may not be the 'verse for you. If you're in the mood for soulbonds, unicorns, and a whole lot of magic jewels, you've come to the right place.

♦ Drawing The Line
illustrated | comedy, crack | Jon/"Stephen", Tek/Birdgirl, Ace/Gary, Birdman, Reducto, Mentok, Phil, animated ensemble | PG-13
Massive multiplayer crossover. When Stephen Colbert sues his boss with the help of his lawyer Reducto (voiced by Stephen Colbert), Jon hires the law firm of Phil Ken Sebben (voiced by Stephen Colbert) to represent him.

The Robert Report | ♦ Expecting | Ø State of Grace | Why Should I Care? | and related one-shots
illustrated | comedy, drama, romance, hurt/comfort, mpreg | Jon/"Stephen", Jon/wife, Charlene, TCR staff, correspondents, OCs, a baby, Strangers With Candy characters, ensemble | through NC-17
Bobby manages the stage, the staff, and Stephen; and the Report staff faces down a ghost. | Stephen decides that he could totally get pregnant. How hard could it be? | Stephen's carefully constructed walls begin to collapse around him. | And what came after.

Ø Green & Grey | AO3 mirror
hurt/comfort, angst | OC/"Stephen", Jon/wife, others | through NC-17, warnings
Stephen swears what he does with his boyfriend is consensual, but Jon is starting to have doubts that it's sane. Or safe.

The Happyverse AU
fluff, romance | happy!"Stephen", others | mostly G
Tales from this canon AU, where "Stephen" is always happy instead of always angry.

I Am Qumarica (And So Can You!)
hurt/comfort, drama, slavefic | Jon/"Stephen", Olivia/Kristen, Sam/Jason, ensemble | through R
Loosely connected tales from the AU where Jon owns a harem, with a bunch of the correspondents as his concubines. Featuring idficcy sex slavery for some, snark and wary self-sufficiency for others, a dark!Jon struggling to redeem himself, and a background of vaguely cutthroat political infighting.

The Liberalverse AU
dramedy | liberal!Stephen, Jon, ensemble | PG-13
Stories from a canonical AU. Instead of being a hawkish anti-intellectual pro-fascist ultraconservative, Stephen is a peacenik elitist pro-anarchist ultraliberal. Oddly enough, it doesn't make him all that different.

The Senateverse AU
dramedy | Jon & "Stephen", Sam, Larry, John-O, Lewis, Kristen, Rain, others | PG-13
The development of an unlikely friendship between the hyper-partisan Stephen Colbert (R-SC) and his colleague Jon Stewart (D-NY).

Shout*For | AO3 mirror
drama, romance | Jon/"Stephen", Jimmy, Olivia/Kristen, ensemble | through R
AU. Our heroes (and some villains) are all performers in various blocs of the Disney tween band/music empire, which naturally is amazingly screwed-up behind the scenes.

♦ The Thing With Feathers
drama | Jon/"Stephen", real!Jon & real!Stephen, Tad, Bobby, Allison, Eric | PG-13
Stephen hasn't been himself lately.

Transverse (or, the Pronoun Ninja Diaries)
romance, drama | mostly Jon/"Stephen", with other pairings and characters | through NC-17
Assorted fics and fanworks about transgender versions of our heroes. All more or less Au to each other.

♦ Truthiness And Relative Dimensions In Space | Teaspoon mirror
Doctor Who, Hitchhiker's Guide, Red Dwarf, & others crossover, illustrated, dramedy | Jon/"Stephen", Four, Sarah Jane, Jack, Ten, ensemble | PG-13
Obnoxious right-wing pundit Stephen Colbert catches a lift with Four & Sarah Jane, and, in his younger days, Ten & Jack. Can Four cope with the older Stephen acting like he knows what he's doing? Can Ten avoid saying anything to the younger Stephen that will cause a paradox? And can the rest of space and time handle the truthiness?

Multichaptered and Multipart

♦ A Colbert Carol: stanza I, stanza II, stanza III, stanza IV, stanza V
dramedy, parody, Christmas special | Jon & "Stephen", Meg, Tad, Bobby | PG
Years after Jon's death, Stephen is still celebrating Christmas with extravagant and overblown decorations, but he doesn't truly understand the spirit of the season until a succession of ghosts arrives to show him.

♦ All My Roads Lead To You: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5 | AO3 mirror
drama, romance | Jon/wife, Jon/"Stephen", family, Jimmy Fallon | PG-13
Sentinel/Guide AU. "Stephen" is a Guide who has been repressing everything to do with empathy, and Jon is a Sentinel who Does Not Want that kind of responsibility. Naturally they bond pretty much at first sight and go on to become the most oddly-functioning couple ever.

Ø All The King's Horses: one, two, three
angst | Jon/"Stephen" | NC-17
Maybe Stephen can't be put back together again.

And He Never Gives In (he just changes his mind) | And He Only Reveals What He Wants You To See | Ten reasons for the sleep loss after Jon knocked Stephen up, reasons 1-5 and reasons 6-10 | AO3 mirror
romance, smut, hurt/comfort, babyfic | Jon/"Stephen", "Stephen"/Steve, "Stephen"/Charlene, Jon/"Stephen"/Steve | R
Alpha/Beta/Omega AU. In which Stephen's religion says some wacky things, Steve is shouty but ultimately helpful, and Jon is theoretically keeping order but in reality just trying to keep up. And eventually Jon and Stephen get it together and have lots of babies, as they were meant to do.

A River So Long: Act I, Act II, Act III (AO3 mirror)
dramedy, Christmas special | Jon/"Stephen", Trevor Potter, others | PG-13
Prompt: Stephen's tirade on election night. "Then you realise you made a terrible mistake but it will be too late, you had the chance but you rejected him and now [Mitt Romney] will never want your [vote] again." We all know he meant "Jon" instead of "Mitt" and "love" instead of "vote."

Ø Clover and Shadows: one, two, three, four, five, extras | AO3 mirror
drama, romance | trans!"Stephen", trans!Charlene, Jon, OCs, Gipper | through NC-17
In the past, Stephen runs away to Chicago with her cousin Charlene. In the present, Jon tries to figure out why Stephen keeps pushing him away.

Collar U parts 1-5 | AO3 mirror
dramedy, romance | "Stephen"/Jon, Jane Fonda, background Olivia/Kristen, Steve/Nancy, correspondents | PG-13
D/sverse, high school/college AU. Stephen's family doesn't believe in sending uncollared submissives to college, so Jon offers to collar him, at least through graduation.

The Conceited Crusader | It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's...A Chair!
action, comedy | Jon, "Stephen", evil!Obama, Stephen Jr. | G
Stephen's a superhero. Jon's the new reporter at the local paper. And the city's being terrorized by the evil Obama that only Republicans can see.

comedy | Jon/everybody - specifically, Wyatt, "Stephen", Sam+Jason, John Hodgman, Aasif (offscreen), and Olivia | PG-13
Jon considers himself a master of seduction. Most of his staff are just too nice to burst his bubble.

It Came From Beyond The Stars And Stripes
drama | Jon/"Stephen", Olivia, OCs | through R
Stephen's an alien. Olivia's a secret agent. Jon's pregnant. What could go wrong?

Little Red State Riding Hood | Little Red State Parka With Hood And Gloves | AO3 mirror
illustrated | comedy, hurt/comfort | wolf!Jon/"Stephen", Willard Mittington "Romney" Romney, Olivia, others | through R
An election-era fairy tale, starring wolf!Jon, bluebird!Olivia, and red-hood-wearing Stephen.

Oliver Through The Looking Glass: part I, part II, part III
Alice in Wonderland AU, comedy/crack | "Stephen"/Jon/Anderson, Rob-R/John-O/Larry, Ann Coulter/Bill-O, correspondents, pundits | G
John Oliver wanders into Wonderland. Turns out to be a pretty nice place.

♦ Silent: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 | AO3 mirror
alternate universe, dramedy, romance | Jon/"Stephen", ensemble | G
In 1998, the staff of The Daily Show (including star correspondent Stephen Colbert) gets a new addition: deaf writer Jon Stewart. Cue an otherwise familiar blend of jokes, politics, a young series finding its feet, and a long-term intimate relationship starting to bloom.

The Sword In His Mouth: prologue, one, two, three, epilogue
dramedy, meta | BriWi/Jon, "Stephen" | through R
D/s AU, and the fandom therein. Social relationships are arranged in terms of Doms and subs rather than men and women; BriWi/Jon just became canon; and Stephen plays a character who is a straight closeted sub, about whom people write fic.

highly damaged dramedy as only SWC can be, smut | "Stephen"/OC, "Stephen"/Chuck, Chuck/Geoffrey, Seamus | R

genderbending dramedy, smut | girl!real!Jon/real!Stephen, Jerri, Tammi, Orlando | NC-17
