Title: Snapshots
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Ship: Dan/Blair
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Up to series 2, plus mentions of the Dan/Blair promo for S3.
Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own.
Summary: Fifty random moments that make up a beautiful life together
Authors Notes: Written for 1sentence where the aim of the game is to write one sentence for each theme.

As always, my most sincere apologies to grammar for the irrevocable abuse I have inflicted upon it. :O) As with the other Snapshots fics, the sentences appear random and are out of chronological order but they do tell a story as a whole.

( She knows from the start that this can’t go anywhere, that they are too different, too set in their ways to change for one another, too so not made for one another; and for the first time she doesn’t mind, glad to not have to live up to the expectations of an ‘epic love’ like she has in the past. )

Title: all these riddles that you burn
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Ship: Dan/Blair
Rating: PG
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own. Title comes from I Alone by Live.
Summary: "Dedicated to the one person who will never read this book, and who will never know how much they inspire me, and how much I miss them."
Authors Notes: Dedicated to the awesome holycitygirl, because I can't imagine life without her awesome D/B fics. Seriously, if you haven't already go check out her stuff (after you've read this of course *grin*).

( In real life, their story is much simpler.  )

Title: Forget All Your Technicolour Dreams
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Ship: Dan/Blair
Rating: PG
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own. Title comes from Modern Nature by Sondre Lerche.
Summary: He will forever remember this as the moment that changed everything. And nothing. A love story in a thousand and one words.
Authors Notes: The original idea was two hundred-word drabbles, one for each point of view. Then I decided to keep going with hundred-word paragraphs, finally ending in a fic with a thousand and one words. Enjoy. :O)

( He never could have imagined standing in her doorway, professing a kinship he was certain she would deny. )

Title: The Shadows Bring the Starlight
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Ship: Dan/Blair

Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own. Title comes from 'Those You've Known' from the musical Spring Awakening.
Summary: The sound of her voice on the other end of the line stopped being a surprise a while ago. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t immediately brace himself for whatever drama is coming next.
Authors Notes: For holycitygirl, because she is made of awesome. Enjoy everyone! :O)

( It’s the kind of place he would never have stepped into had it not been for that brief moment of bravery and the insane coincidence that led him on the path to the Upper East Side. )

Title: We Could Break A Silver Lining
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Ship: Dan/Blair
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Nothing specific. Canon up to 2.16 'You've Got Yale'
Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own. Title comes from 'A Sorta Fairytale' by Tori Amos.
Summary: He bumps into her at a party, over a year since the last time he saw her. He literally bumps into her, tumbling bodies, spilt drinks and all. He reaches out to steady her, an automatic gesture, and it is only then that he sees her face.
Authors Notes: For sellthelie. The fic has absolutely nothing to do with the prompt you gave me, but since I ended up with a 3000+ word fic instead of a drabble, I figured you wouldn't mind. :O) Enjoy!

( It comes as quite a large shock to Dan when a familiar figure approaches him on the porch. She sits down next to him without being invited and it occurs to Dan that this could be the first time in their lives that Blair has ever sought him out. )

Title: Endure the Darkness
Fandom: The X-Files
Ships: Mulder/Scully
Rating: PG
Spoilers: The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own.
Summary: They have left behind everything that bought them together, everything that made them who they were, but they are still the same people, and now they can finally say it out loud. [post series - pre IWTB]
Authors Notes: My first X-Files fic. Eek. It's not the best thing ever, I'm just happy to have written and completed anything considering my Muse has been AWOL for months now. Please let me know what you think. Enjoy!

( Every hotel room began to look the same to her years back. Same colours, same prints, same bathrooms. Nothing changes and nothing grows. )

Title: Your Secret
Ships: Zac/Nikki
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: Do I really need to say that I'm not these people, I dont know these people, and everything within is a work of fiction? Didn't think so.
Summary: I didn’t understand it then and in truth, with years of contemplation and hindsight, I still don’t understand it now. But against all odds, we became the best of friends. You were everything I could need in one person, in one friend. However I didn’t understand why, out of everyone around, you chose me. Yes, I was your leading lady, but I imagined you would have more in common with someone like Amanda or Elijah. Why did you choose me? And if I knew then what I know now, would I have asked you to choose someone else?
Authors Notes: Thanks to selltheliefor the look-over. This fic was inspired by one line in Secret by Missy Higgins. When I was about three quarters of the way through writing it I decided to try adding the lyrics as section breakers, instead of my usual asterisk, and I was quite surprised by how well it all matched up. :O) Just a warning, this is a bit different to the usual Zac/Nikki fics you have seen from me - its a bit darker and angstier. But I am very proud of it and I hope you enjoy it. :O)

( I couldn’t blame them for always questioning the status of our relationship. God knows it was something I questioned all the time. But it was as though some of them didn’t believe us when we said we were best friends, as though I didn’t deserve you. And then there were the ones who implied that maybe there was something more going on between us. I don’t know which was worse. )

Title: They Stood Up For Love
Ships: Zac/Nikki
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Do I really need to say that I'm not these people, I dont know these people, and everything within is a work of fiction? Didn't think so. [Greer is totally mine though. You can snag him if you want. LOL.]
Summary: He was generally pretty optimistic, so it felt like the most natural thing in the world to follow his heart with the faith that anyone who really cared about him would be happy for him. But now, he didn’t want to admit it to himself but he was having second thoughts. Could his fans and the industry forgive him for shattering one of Hollywood’s best illusions?
Authors Notes: I've read a few multi-chapter Zac/Nikki fics where someone, usually Zac's agent, says something along the line of Nikki being bad for Zac's career. But its kinda left at that with no aftermath. So I wanted to explore the idea a bit more fully.
I like how this has turned out and I hope you all do too. :O) Enjoy!

Title: Snapshots
Ships: Zac/Nikki
Rating: PG/PG13
Disclaimer: Do I really need to say that I'm not these people, I dont know these people, and everything within is a work of fiction? Didn't think so.
Summary: Fifty random moments that make up a beautiful life together
Authors Notes: Written for 1sentence where the aim of the game is to write one sentence for each theme.

Haven't done this in a while but I thought it might help with my writers block. I think it might have (a little at least).

As always, my most sincere apologies to grammar for the irrevocable abuse I have inflicted upon it. :O)

As with the other Snapshots fics, the sentences appear random and are out of chronological order but they do tell a story as a whole. Some sentences are directly linked to others while others are not. I've been toying with the idea of posting them in chronological order - what do you think? Would anyone be interested in that??

Title: In Your Eyes
Ships: Zac/Nikki
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Do I really need to say that I'm not these people, I don't know these people, and everything within is a work of fiction? Didn't think so.
Summary: When you looked into my eyes, I felt like you were the only one who saw the real me. You didn’t see who I could be, you didn’t see who you wanted me to be, you saw me, exactly as I am.
Authors Notes: In my mind this is set in a year or two from now. Inspired by In Her Eyes by Josh Groban. A big thankyou to everyone who read and reviewed my first attempt at Zac/Nikki. This is for you guys. Enjoy!

I would also like to give a shout-out to saint_seducing, as she is largely responsible for my current Zac/Nikki obsession. :O)
