Title: Ambush
Rating: PG
Pairings/Characters: Pre-Jon/"Stephen", background Jon/BriWi
Disclaimer: #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement. 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.

A snippet from late 2005, in the alternate universe where gender is divided along Dom/sub lines rather than male/female. Jon's getting misgendered quite a bit lately, which is strange, since it's always seemed clear enough to him. Not even Stephen can throw him for a loop on that point. (Right?)

( It's not foreplay now (mostly) (Brian Williams in the green room with the silk tie), but it's close enough that it comes as a shock whenever anyone fails to connect the dots. )

Title: Pace Yourself For Me
Rating: G for the first half; PG-13 for the second
Characters/pairings: "Stephen"/Jon, family
( Two disclaimers, with love )

This is a jumble of ideas for some kind of college-age AU. One written scene, one illustration, and a bit of synopsis. Stephen's deeply closeted about his attraction to guys, and feels much safer when he appears to have a girlfriend. Which works out fine for Jon, who's in a closet of his own.

Most of it was originally posted here. A link is going on the Transverse masterlist. And, yes, the title is from the Killers song.

(For the record: if anyone wants to take this concept and run with it, either using these specifics as canon or contradicting them completely...go for it.)


( 'Mama says I'm supposed to be a gentleman and offer you my bed.' )

Title: Binding
Rating: PG, barely
Warnings: The mildest of sexual content
Characters/pairings: "Stephen"/Jon
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: Right after he gets his cast on, Stephen needs a little help with his morning routine.

This is massively, massively AU, for reasons which will become obvious.

( Stephen sticks out his arms; he grits his teeth while Jon fastens his cufflinks, even though Jon's taking extra care to be gentle around the cast. )
