fics by Erin Ptah

Title: Fixing A Hole
Rating: One of these is R; the rest are G
Pairings/Characters: Sarah Jane/Maria, with a bit of Luke, Clyde, Rani, and K-9
Disclaimer: Property of the Beeb.
Recipient: elisbelle, in an exchange at the_second_time

I don't really know how to classify this. It's a story, in mix form, illustrated. And, as per the prompt, it's all Beatles (with a bit of Sarah Jane's glasses thrown in).

Title: One, Two, Three, Twist, Bam
Series: TDS RPF, Strangers With Candy
Characters/Pairings: Stephen/girl!Jon; one-sided Jerri/Tammi and Jerri/girl!Jon; Orlando (all alone, poor guy)
Rating: NC-17
N.B.: Drugs, genderbending, geek talk, bad words, masturbation, het sex (sort of), Jerri being Jerri, Aliens Mystic Recipes Made Them Do It. Also, this starts off as slapstick, then gets angsty, then turns into quasi-serious het porn, which reads like lesbian porn, but with male pronouns/dirty talk. The author has no idea how to warn for this.

For a Secret Santa prompt requesting Jon/Stephen, genderbending, and someone from SWC.

High school AU in the little town of Flatpoint. After a particularly wild party, Jon wakes up with a problem more unusual than a hangover. Can Stephen, the other local D&D geeks, and the illicit-chemical expertise of Jerri Blank put him (...her?) back to rights?

Title: COMFORT ME.
Rating: PG
Series: The Colbert Report
Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. The Colbert Report characters are not mine.

Wanted to make a blue period drawing out of this idea (as egged on by infraredphaeton), but I couldn't get the pose to come together. So here are two loose sketches instead, accompanied by two ficlets. Takes place right after the election special.

Title: Kiss You Where It Hurts
Series: TDS/TCR
Rating: R
Warnings: Established (and unsavory) BDSM relationship; partial nudity; dubious consent issues; pain, suffering.
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: This is the really really depressing version of how character!Stephen hurt his face. Or, rather, it's the story of what happens afterwards, when Jon figures it out.

There's even an illustration, just to break your hearts a bit more. (Here on DA.) See the index page for the sequels.

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: This Is How A Heart Breaks
Fandom: The Colbert Report
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Gunplay, trauma, serious pain
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: This is the story in mental images that I get when listening to "This Is How A Heart Breaks" by Rob Thomas. Sung by character!Stephen, on the day he snaps and brings a gun to the Daily Show studio.


( And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake, and I don't know how much more I can take )
