IT'S DONE.

The liberal AU version of "Stephen" brings his queer kinky Jewish boyfriend to a Fourth of July barbecue with his old-fashioned Southern Evangelicatholic Republican family. Hijinks ensue.

This is unrelated to previous connected liberal!Stephen stories: it's post-divorce for Jon, a wifeless AU for Stephen, with them in an established relationship featuring BDSM using stoplight safewords.

And seriously, having it finished is a minor miracle. This poor fic has been a WIP since 2009. The It Gets Better Project, same-sex marriage laws in New York, and Anderson Cooper all came out while it was in progress.

Also goes in my hc_bingo round 3 card, wildcard prompt "family". Major much-belated thanks to ladyanneboleyn and politicette, who made this story possible by being willing to educate me about their culture.

Mirror on the AO3.

( 'Jon, I know my family isn't the most progressive group of people in the world, but if just for today you can be tolerant and nonjudgmental of their intolerance and judgment, we can have a not-terrible time.' )

Title: Five Times Stephen Got A Green Light
Rating: R
Contents: Sex, D/s, forced femme, bondage, post-roleplay aftercare, language
Characters/pairings: Liberal!"Stephen"/Jon
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.

Fic from TCR's liberal mirrorverse. In which Stephen is still not quite comfortable with kinking on being a Dom, and Jon provides constant reassurance via the stoplight-based safeword system.

This poor fic has been languishing half-finished for aaaaaages, until a certain recent sequence (alternate viewing link) made it fall into place.

Mirror on the AO3.

( Stephen drops both the half-tied knot around Jon's ankle and the heavy bondage manual he had been consulting while tying it. )

Because I am definitely going to lose track of all the happy!"Stephen" (Threatdown: Happiness, 12/10/08) fanstuff floating around if somebody doesn't make a list.

This is just a quick'n'dirty (irony!) compilation. Proper summary and so on will be added later, probably. I have the nagging feeling that I've missed some relevant links; if so, let me know.

Title: Five Versions Of The Limo Ride Home
Rating: G through NC-17
Characters/pairings: Jon/liberal!"Stephen", Joan/"Stephanie", Jon/r!Stephen (Sailor Jon version), Schmon Schmewart, Jon, "Stephen", Jon/happy!"Stephen"
Warnings: (1) character fatal disease (he's not dead yet); (2) character death (he gets better); (3) D/s, innuendo; (4) D/s, shameless lesbian smut; (5) may induce diabetes.
( Two disclaimers, with love )

Summary: After the Emmys snub various versions of Stephen (hypothetical cancer storyline, sailorjon 'verse, Liberalverse, genderswapped version of sarcasticsra's Needverse, and happy!verse), Jon comforts him on the way back to the hotel.

Mostly written for The 9/20 Project, which called for post-Emmy comforting and/or sex. There are sequels to the Liberalverse segment found at that link. For those seeking more Joan/"Stephanie", there's a bit of it by doctorv here, and I have some more here.

( 'I have a little bit of anger and frustration to work through right now. So it would probably be best if I just let myself into the executive lounge and meditated for a while. Or did some yoga.' )

Title: Puppy Love (3/3)
Rating: PG-13
Contents: Sex talk, panicking Stephen
Characters/pairings: Jon/liberal!"Stephen"

Summary: The conclusion of this bit of the Liberalverse. Jon has always encouraged Stephen to develop healthy boundaries, but he never expected to find himself outside of them.

(Okay, a little bit of neuroses-and-despair may have slipped into this one. But the ending is happy, never fear.)

There's also some rambling about l!Stephen's characterization, over here.

( 'I just found out that I am apparently the only person on the planet you won't jump into bed with. What could possibly be upsetting about that?' )

Title: Puppy Love (1/3)
Rating: PG-13
Contents: Mentions of sex, sensitive subjects, bizarrely flavored contraceptives, NAMBLA
Characters/pairings: Jon/liberal!"Stephen", past liberal!"Stephen"/teacher, a puppy

Summary: Another story from the Liberalverse. Jon finally breaks the repressive shackles of the patriarchy by getting a divorce. Surely this means he'll be ready to jump into bed with Stephen now, right? Right?

As demanded by deepad: "Happy ending! Gay rainbow liberal puppies! Jon refusing to put out until he is convinced Stephen won't go on Oprah to talk about it after!"

Mirror on the AO3.

( 'I thought you'd be upset! I thought you'd be hurt and sad and want something to help you feel better! And sex always makes me feel better!' )
