Title: The Heart Of Rock And Roll (Is The Slashfic)
Series: TDS/TCR
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Jon/"Stephen"
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: I tried to do the music meme ("put your playlist on shuffle, start writing when the song begins, stop when it ends"), but quickly found that I couldn't resist revising. So I made the results drabbles (i.e., 100 words each) instead, just so they would have some kind of limit.

Also, these take place in an AU in which "Stephen" and Jon are both teenagers in South Carolina. And, uh, they've been sitting on my hard drive since December 2008. Eheh. (Clearly I am on some kind of out-of-season spring-cleaning kick.)

( 'Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat / And everything will be back to the way that it was )

Title: Assorted Belatedly Collected Drabbles (Stephen's Staff Edition)
Series: TDS/TCR
Disclaimer: Works of parody. Not real; not mine.

I actually wrote these back in 2006, and then spent several years forgetting to archive them. Whoops.


Title: Animal Magnetism
Characters/Pairings: Bobby, Ric Ocasek
Rating: PG
Notes: Takes place during Bobby's secret mission to Vegas.

( 'Can't believe I'm considering it myself. But hey – it’s Vegas, right?' )


Title: The Memo
Characters/Pairings: Meg, Tad
Rating: G
Notes: Follow-up to this clip.

( 3) If Stephen is just plain wrong, smile and nod. )


Title: Morning
Characters/Pairings: a certain Stephen
Rating: G

( Stephen wakes up slowly. )


Title: Candy and Air
Characters/Pairings: Bobby, Meg
Rating: G
Notes: Follows this segment, and refers to this one.

( Meg frowned as she reached for her third almond cluster in as many minutes. )


Title: Follow Shot On Bobby
Characters/Pairings: Bobby, Meg, Jimmy, Killer
Rating: G
Notes: Sequel to the previous drabble, directed by Jimmy.

( Pan across break room: Bobby, half-empty tub of candy, Meg. )


Title: In Season And Out
Characters/Pairings: Bobby, Tad, Stephen
Rating: G
Notes: Drabble-and-a-half, following this segment. The title is from 2 Timothy 4:2: 'Be prepared in season and out of season.'

( Bobby and Tad both descend with fire extinguishers – from opposite sides. )

Title: Purple Hamster Means No
Rating: PG (sex talk, references to harassment)
Characters/pairings: Jon/"Stephen"

Reference to real persons, places, or events are made in a fictional context, and are not intended to be libelous, defamatory, or in any way factual.

Summary: A quick dialogue-only ficlet. Stephen tries to explain his kink. Jon is a little slow on the uptake.

( 'The thing you've got to understand is that 'no' doesn't mean 'no'.' )

Title: Anger
Series: TDS/TCR
Rating: PG-13
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: Another depressing ficlet. Jon's lucky he has a helpful friend like Stephen.

( Stephen can see the anger crackling beneath his skin, can see the fear behind his eyes as he begins to recognize that this thing will eat him alive if he doesn't stop it, and he has no idea how. )

Title: The Gospel of Jesus Comes To Flatpoint
Series: Strangers With Candy
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Sexytalk; a couple of bad words.
Disclaimer: Fiction. Characters are not mine. Used without permission.

A drabble. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

(Title refers to the shared universe, more of which is found in fakenews_fanfic, which started from the line 'The only way straight people could be threatened by same-sex marriage would be if it were mandatory.')

( The Gospel of Jesus comes to Flatpoint. )

Title: Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler
Series: The Colbert Report
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Sexytalk; a couple of bad words.
Disclaimer: Same as above. Also, parody.

Another drabble. The aftermath of Stephen's 'trip' to New Orleans.

( It's all part of that N'Awlins atmosphere. )

Title: Honey Mustard (or, Is Bobby Delicious?)
Rating: PG
Pairing: "Stephen"/Bobby, Tad/Bobby
Disclaimer: These characters and their universe are property of Stephen Colbert, the other Report writers, and of course Viacom. Not mine. Sue me not, please.

Summary: Stephen Colbert eats his (former) stage manager. Tad is not happy about this.

( 'Listen, Tad, you can't tell anyone about this, all right?' )

Title: Thoroughly Convincified
Series: The Daily Show
Rating: G
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Notes: This was spawned from either the Pundit Porn Story Generator or the PRT Porn Story Generator; I've forgotten which. The challenge: Jon Stewart and/or any politician make out in a car or other vehicle.

( 'He hasn't been gone twenty-four hours and the Colbert Nation is throwing a fit.' )

Title: A More Perfect Union
Fandom: TDS
Genre: Comedy
Rating: G if you don't think about the implications too hard.
Words: ~200
Disclaimer: ( The poem. )

Notes: The first fic from the May 7, 2007 toss.

( Jon reacts to Monday's toss. )
