Jon and Stephen, "Believe in the me who believes in you"
Title: See The Little Unicorn There
Series: TDS/TCR
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Fatal diseases, angsty!"Stephen", some ambiguity.
Two disclaimers, with love )


Summary: In an interview, Ed Helms once sang a song about a unicorn. On his show, Stephen has referred to a unicorn of his own. In 2005, while both were correspondents on The Daily Show, New York City clinics introduced on-site, rapid HIV testing using an oral fluid test.

Aaaaaand scene!

Title: Keeping Up Appearances (aka The LSD Story)
Rating: PG-13
Series: TDS/TCR
Warnings: Drug usage, extreme strangeness.
Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: After an accidental LSD trip gives Stephen unexpected insight into how broken his mind is, he tries in vain to pick up the pieces. Which Stephen am I?

(The interspersed quotations are from Sylvia Fraser's In My Father's House. The author is a Canadian female incest survivor who grew up in the '50s, while "Stephen" is none of these things; still, the psychological tenor is the one I want.)

We are who we pretend to be; so we must be very careful who we pretend to be.
--Kurt Vonnegut

For several years she won the trophies and garnered the votes, but she had an inherent flaw. She did not react to circumstances out of real emotion. She was programmed like a computer and, like a computer, she played to rule. )

Title: A Good Night's Sleep
Rating: PG (language)
Series: TDS/TCR
Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. Although reference is made to real persons and places, the dialog, actions, and content are products of the author's imagination only.

Summary: TDS goes on a road trip, and nobody wants to room with Stephen. Jon, who ends up stuck with him, finds out why.

Half ficlet, half comic; part fluff, part drama; all cute, all chibi, and all flag pajamas.

It was surprisingly comforting. Like holding a stuffed animal, if Jon had ever known a giant, flag-patterned stuffed animal that wouldn't shut up. )

Title: A Tiny Version of Himself
Fandom: TDS, TCR
Rating: PG
Words: ~1400
Two disclaimers, with love )

Notes: Normally I write stories in which "Stephen" is pushed to the brink of complete internal disintegration, and someone (mainly Jon) pulls him back. This one takes place a year or two after he's gone over the edge.

The title is from I Am America: "Children are tiny versions of you, minus the crushing failure."

'Hi, Jon! Hi! Come see what I made! Did you bring me anything?' )

Title: Prey Mentality
Fandom: The Colbert Report
Genre: Drama to Stephen, comedy to the rest of us
Rating: PG-13 for the contents of Stephen's dirty, dirty mind
Words: ~2400
Disclaimer: The usual two. )

Notes: The first fic in which I really dug into Stephen's elaborate system of denial, repression, sublimation, and projection.

Started this shortly after the Bill O'Reilly show ("Jon Stewart is a sexual predator"), and finished it after hearing Stephen's follow-up next week ("I did not do it right away, Bill! We talked, we went to dinner … I thought we made a connection. The whole thing felt very organic"). Comes with an associated sketch.

Has been sequeled by [livejournal.com profile] gaudy_night: When a Predator Catches Its Prey.

Jon Stewart must be a sexual predator. Why else would Stephen feel so flustered in his presence? )
