"Adversity is the diamond dust with which Heaven polishes its jewels."
-- Logan Echolls' voicemail, season one, episode 22 "leave it to beaver"

“I hate my name. I hate any reference to my name. I wish people would completely invent a new one. I dunno, like… Spunk. There's a girl called Ransom. I'd like to go by Ransom Spunk, or Spunk Ransom... Yeah, it does sounds a little bit wrong…”
– Robert Pattinson addressing his own name.

Untitled Rain Fic
[Seth/Ryan, PG, warnings: allusions to child abuse]
During a stormy day in Newport, Seth helps Ryan find the sun.

This was the first fanfic I ever wrote and posted. It means a lot to me. It's not perfect or anything, but it definitely holds a special place in my heart. (I have since come up with a good title, but I refuse to rename it, as a testament.)

Revenge of the Seth
[Seth/Ryan, PG, warnings: allusions to sex and jedi stupidity]
Seth tries to use his Jedi Mind Powers to convince his boyfriend, Ryan, to attend the premiere of Revenge of the Sith with him.

The OC Season Two finale landed on the same day that Star Wars: Episode Three opened. And the words "Sith" and "Seth" are very similar. There was no way I could not write this story. 'Nuff said.

Worth It
[Seth/Ryan, G]
Ryan watches Seth draw.
"It’s the only time Seth is close quiet, hunched over that pad of paper. And even then he’s not truly quiet. Just expressing himself differently, speaking with his pencil instead of his mouth."

It's something about that sentence that made me write this story. I liked that idea, that Seth channeled his Seth-ness through his art. And I liked that he would want Ryan's approval on his work.

Like Fate
[Seth/Ryan, NC-17, warnings: adult content, explicit sexual situations, strong language]
Like fate, like a bad habit, Seth always comes back to Ryan Atwood.

Heh. Yeah. I sort of had a moment like Ryan does at the end of this story. About someone personal. Which is where this came from. I wanted to share that experience with people, and since my only creative outlet is currently fanfic, this is where I turned. Like the warning said, adult content. Gay sex, you guys. Watch out.

Every Night I Wait
[Harry/Cedric, PG-13, warnings: allusions to child abuse, and some emotional scarring]
Every night, Cedric waits for Harry's demons to rise.

This wasn't originally a story for Harry Potter. I had written it for my own, original series, about a young man who was sexually abused by his father, from the point of view of his boyfriend who he lives with. But, like with "Like Fate", I wanted to share this story, so I change some bits around, not much, and posted it as a Harry/Cedric fic. And I'm quite pleased with the results. I've been toying with the idea of doing a sequel. I might still.

Despair and Hope
[Seth/Ryan, PG, warnings: some language, mostly hurt/comfort]
At two different points in their lives together, Seth and Ryan watch a Disney movie.

The first OC fic I'd written in almost a full year. This was part of the First theoc_slash Community Challenge, wherein we were all allowed to choose a quote and build a story from it. From mine was: "Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope too, can be given to one only by other human beings" - Elie Wiesel. Naturally it made me think of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. And it went from there.

The Chrismukkah Carol
[Seth/Ryan, PG-13, warnings: angst, implied physical abuse, implied sexual abuse of a minor, drug and alcohol abuse, teenaged prostitution, gay bashing -- but no less lighthearted than Dickens' original, I swear!]
At twenty-five, Ryan Atwood's life has taken a turn for the worse. Can a Chrismukkah miracle help him get his life back on track?

So, as I lay in bed one afternoon in September, listening to the Christmas Carol soundtrack, naturally, the scenes began to mix with The OC, and I heard the words in my head: Marissa was dead, to begin with. It stuck. Thus, "The Chrismukkah Carol" was born. Completely off the schedule I had originally planned, and still barely done in time for the holidays even with three months to prepare, it is still a concept I take much pride in.

The Totally True Tales of Captain Oats and Lieutenant Barley
[Seth/Ryan, PG]
Seth tells Ryan a bedtime story.

Written entirely the day of, and posted minutes before, the series finale of The OC. There was no way I could let the show end without writing one last fic. At least, one last before the end. There is still so much more to come.

Untitled Silly Putty Fic
[Seth/Ryan, PG]
Seth makes a grand, and sticky, romantic gesture.

From concept to posting all within twenty-four hours. Written for the 2-year anniversary of the first fic I ever posted. Also, not including chapters of series fics, this is the tenth story I ever wrote.

[Harry/Cedric, generally PG-13 with some NC-17 portions due to sexual content - Work in Progress]
Renowned teenage wizard Harry Potter falls for fellow Hogwarts student Cedric Diggory, causing Harry's life to change in unexpected ways as he struggles with his burgeoning homosexuality and the whirlwind of first love.

This series merits its own box. Originally intended to be a long one-shot, it is now an on-going series in five parts with multiple chapters each.

Playlist No. 1 - A Lack of Color
In his fourth year, Harry falls for fellow Hogwarts student and Triwizard champion, Cedric Diggory.
(Chapter One)

There is a link at the end of every chapter leading to the next one.

I'm going to reorganize the LiveJournal posts of each chapter sometime soon, once the first playlist is complete.

Playlist No. 2 - Sound of the Revolution
In his fifth year, Harry faces ostracism with boyfriend Cedric for coming out and advocating the return of Voldemort.
COMING SOON - hopefully mid-2009
