Stephen, anxious to know what Jon really thinks of him, stumbles on a way to find out for sure...which doesn't go at all the way he planned. Turns out Jon has more secrets than he bargained for (and in the meantime, Stephen's conscience just might be catching up with him).

Now with illustrations! Please read on The Zen and the Damaged to get the full effect (it requires code not supported on LJ/DW).

For a fakenews_fanfic SeSa prompt from gaudy_night: Jon/"Stephen", after a freak accident, he gains the ability to hear what the other is really thinking. Title is from the carol Blue Christmas.

( If you were trying to seduce your gay friend for purely exploitative purposes, and maybe enjoying his company and feeling that his happiness made you feel warmer than hot chocolate along the way, that was still safely heterosexual on your part. )

Title: Keepsake
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Characters/Pairings: Kyouko/Sayaka, Homura
Rating: R
Contents: Depression; character deaths; (teen/teen) sex; spoilers for everything.
Disclaimer: Not my universe; I just play in it.

Scenes from a timeline where Oktavia gets averted, at least for a while. In which Sayaka is in a dark place, Kyouko is fighting to hang on to her, and neither is really in any shape to be sorting out her intense feelings about the other (but they make a connection anyway).

For the Kaleidoscope fest at dark_agenda. My recipient didn't specify a mood...so this went and got amazingly angsty. Title is an allusion to a poem by Izumi Shikibu.

( The world is distorting in a pool with Sayaka at the epicenter. )

Title: Charmed Lives
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Characters/Pairings: Mami and friend, Kyoko and sister, Sayaka and parents, Homura/Madoka
Rating: hard R (only for the last part)
Contents: Major spoilers; delicious yuri.
Disclaimer: I've got 99 ideas, but MadoMagi ain't one.

Post-series. It's a whole new world, and four girls get to grow up in it. (And, in Homura's case, have insubstantial shower sex in it.)

( The game was in full swing, and there was one girl kicking circles around the rest of the third-grade class. )

Title: Have Your Death And Eat Cake Too
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica (with a cameo from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne)
Characters/Pairings: Kyoko/Sayaka, Yuma, Mami/Charlotte, assorted puella magi, Madoka/everyone (but especially Homura)
Rating: soft R
Warnings: Character death (and beyond); sex; some language; spoilers for the entire TV series plus the Oriko Magica manga.
Disclaimer: Series and characters aren't mine.

Kyoko's too much of a cynic to believe in paradise, which makes it a bit of a shock when she wakes up there.

So this is pretty much my headcanon for the fate of puella magi post-series. Inspired by a prompt from puellamagi_kink: Madoka(mi)'s magical girl harem. Not sure how that ended up Kyoko-centric, but here it is.

( Funny. Kyoko thought death was supposed to hurt. )

Title: All Her Original Brightness
Fandom: The Colbert Report/His Dark Materials
Rating: R (vague sex, light D/s, references to PTSD, masochism)
Pairings/Characters: Jon/"Stephen", dæmons
Disclaimer: Characters belong to the Report. Names of real people are used in a fictitious context, and all dialogue, actions, and content are products of the author's imagination only.

Just this once, I'm ignoring my "never confirm or deny posts in anonymous venues" rule, because this one was really, really obvious.

Fill for a newskink_meme prompt involving the touching of dæmons. Readers who aren't familiar with His Dark Materials, check out this basic How Dæmons Work primer. As before, Stephen's Honeypie is a kinkajou (awwww), and Jon's Avivah is a lynx (lol). Clips referenced will be linked as they come up.

The title is from a line in Paradise Lost: "His form had yet not lost / All her original brightness." Which makes an interesting counterpart to that first poem Stephen memorized: "So Eden sank to grief / So dawn goes down to day / Nothing gold can stay."

( 'So, ah, I'm usually pretty good with species, but I've never seen a dæmon like yours before. What's hers? It's cute.' )

Title: Riding the Love Train to Sanitytown
Rating: PG-13 (innuendo)
Characters/pairings: Established Jon/"Stephen" (wifeless AU), a crowd of twelve ten million six billion, various special guests
Disclaimer: The Report characters and their universe are property of Stephen Colbert, the other Report writers, and I presume Viacom. The real person(s) are used in a fictional parody context.

Jon Stewart represents us at our most aspirational. Stephen Colbert represents us as we truly are: patriotic, God-fearing, and easily confused.
—Michael Brett

As bunnied by kribban, who was disappointed with the lack of rally!fic. Features one IRL kid, lots of drama (including character "death") from Stephen, some unexplained symbolism, a few sudden tense shifts, and unsubtle authorial love for Jon's speech and the Rally in general.

Now with a coda (will spoil the fic) by queenfanfiction!

( Stephen has a way with bunkers. Colbunkers, nuclear bunkers, Archie Bunker...he's a bunker-thusiast, is the general idea. )

Title: Five Ways Stephen Reconciled His Faith And His Sexuality
Rating: PG
Characters/pairings: past "Stephen"/Jonathan; a cat named after Ronald Reagan; "Stephen"/Lorraine; OCs; P. K. Winsome; angel!Feist; Jon/"Stephen"
Contents: varying religious views; rapid tense shifts; lots of tears; mystic poetry. Emotional abuse in #2 (of the ex-gay flavor). Self-harm in #3 (of the canon flavor).
( Two disclaimers, with love )

This follows an unclaimed lgbtfest prompt: "2575. RPF - Pundits, "Stephen Colbert"/Jon Stewart - Stephen struggles to reconcile his faith and his sexuality." The operative word here being "struggles."

The poem is translated by Coleman Barks in The Essential Rumi; full text can be found here. Shortly afterwards, Stephen quotes this treatise on sin by Richard Simpson.

Author's own religious views do not actually appear in this fic.


( She's wearing silk, although not enough of it to stop smooth flesh from brushing against his neck, freshly washed and smelling like soap and lavender. Which means that if he values his spot on the mattress, he's going to spend the rest of the evening envisioning Daniel Craig's abs. )

Title: The Gender Ninja of Oz
Rating: PG-13 (light sexual content)
Characters/pairings: Ozma/Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Toto, Jack Pumpkinhead
Contents: Major spoilers through The Emerald City of Oz (book 6); minor ones through Tik-Tok of Oz (Book 9).
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters...not that it matters. Public domain FTW!
Prompt: lgbtfest, prompt 3782: Wizard of Oz series, Ozma, Ozma's gender identity is complicated - zie wasn't fully satisfied as a boy when zie was Tip, but isn't fully satisfied as a girl when zie is Ozma. On top of that zie is in love with Dorothy. Is there any resolution to this?
Notes: Ozma/Tip's pronouns will be going all over the place; sometimes they match hir physical body at the time, sometimes not. Most of this sticks to Baum's canon, though I have pulled one detail from Ruth Plumly Thompson: rather than staying at the same age forever, characters can choose on their birthdays whether to grow that year. Title nabbed from Genderfork. Full-size versions of the illustrations will be showing up with my other Oz fanart. And, as always, other trans!fics are here.

"I might try it for awhile,—just to see how it seems, you know. But if I don't like being a girl you must promise to change me into a boy again."

"Really," said the Sorceress, "that is beyond my magic. I never deal in transformations, for they are not honest, and no respectable sorceress likes to make things appear to be what they are not."

—The Marvelous Land of Oz

( 'You never talk about your life before they let you be Princess again,' says Dorothy crossly. 'I s'pose being a farm girl isn't very exciting next to being ruler of all of Oz...but I'd like to hear about it some time, all the same.' )

Title: Clover and Shadows (4/5)
Rating: R
Warnings: Trans issues, angst, character death
Characters/pairings: MtF!"Stephen", FtM!Charlene, Jon, families
Marvelous betas: stellar_dust and balljointed

In which there is one cousin dead and one surviving, trying to make a future out of the pieces.

Now with even more gorgeous illustrations: the photos Stephen keeps in the office, by omelton.

( 'I don't have time to play your little games here, ma'am. A man is dead, and we have work to do.' )

Title: Four Times Stephen Was A Good Boy, And One Time He Did Even Better
Series: TDS/TCR
Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairings: Jon/"Stephen", a special guest star
Warnings: The first three are various D/s-charged puppy-play sex scenes.
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: Happy Valentine's Day! In celebration, have some scenes from the same continuity as Firm Haunches and Silky. Because even the character's own writers think of him as kind of like a puppy.

( Stephen, now on all fours, padded nonchalantly over to the corner and started lapping at his water dish. Any decision Jon made was going to have to happen before he started on the food heaped in the bowl beside it. (Cocoa Puffs. Stephen's penchant for realism only went so far.) )
