Title: 'Til Underverse Come
Series: A Once and Future Thing
Fandoms: The Chronicles of Riddick, The Eagle, The 13th Warrior, Castle, Terminator, Terminator: Salvation, Firefly.
Rating: PG
Genre: Romance, Supernatural, Science Fiction
Warnings: Canon character deaths, spoilers.
Details: Slash, het. Crossover (like whoa), reincarnation, unbetad.
Wordcount: 1,767
Characters/Pairings: The Chronicles of Riddick—pre-Richard B. Riddick/Vaako, Imam, Kyra. The Eagle—Marcus/Esca, Uncle Aquilla. The 13th Warrior—Ahmad ibn-Fahdlan/Herger. Castle—Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Roy Montgomery, Kate Beckett. Terminator: Salvation—Star/Kyle Reese. Firefly—Zoe/Hoban Washburne, Derrial Book, Inara.
Summary: When Riddick crosses the threshold into Underverse, he sees all.
Details: This crazy mass-crossover is an expansion on the reincarnation saga previously explored in Deja Vu and Jamais Vu. I had a few of these ties in mind already, but the core of this only came on me today, and like the other entries in this series, the thing basically wrote itself.

It is only when they are together that they truly live. )

Title: Adaptation
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Romance, Horror
Details: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 55
Summary: Fifty-five words exactly on the subject of parental disappointment.
Notes: The author's note is longer than the fic itself...


If I tried to sum this up in the cut...I wouldn't have to bother with the cut. )

Title: Substitution
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Angst, Romance, PWP, Horror
Warnings: Explicit sexual content, biting/marking, bruises, references to bigotry, unbetad.
Details: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, naughtiness, oral sex, boys in bathrooms, slight instances of infodumpage encroaching on porn.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 2,857
Summary: Kevin's POV from "Sublimation", both the events leading up to it, and what followed.
Notes: Because my subconscious is apparently so enamored of bathrooms it saw fit to revisit a fic I'd already written, only longer, dirtier and from Kevin's point of view. The actual hotness of this is very, very subjective. Not all parts of it are meant to be, because it's more important to me that it be honest to the realities of Javier's condition. Which...probably means I fail at PWP forever, but oh well. What little plot this has provides a better look at why Javier blew his lid in interrogation and how he, er—
(You know what, I'm not even going to go there. I'm pretty sure I'm already going to hell for this anyway...)

Kevin hadn't thought, laying eyes on their crime scene, that today would be one of the lucky ones. )

The Evidence Series
Which is not an AU so much as it simply happens to concern werewolves.
Evidence to the Contrary—In which Javier assures Kevin that there are no werewolves in Manhattan.
Stupid Questions (And Other Things That Don't Exist)—In which two drunk werewolves wax meta on the supernatural, and apparently everyone's adorable. (Fluff)
Magic Enough in Moonlight—A full-moon weekend in the Hamptons. (Fluff)
Trier of Fact—Angst for no reason (or, Kevin's view of the events which lead up to "Evidence to the Contrary").
(Not So) Secret Santa—There were times when Kevin thought the whole werewolf thing was kind of a drag. (Fluff)
As True as the Sky—Javier answers some of the rumors that have been circulating among the NYPD. (Friendship)

Characters/Pairings: Kevin Ryan/Javier Esposito.
Wordcount: 339
Summary: A full-moon weekend in the Hamptons.
Notes: Takes place at a nonspecific time after Evidence to the Contrary.

Cold bites sharply at skins left suddenly bare and unprotected from the air, and they curl up into each other, nestled closely with the heat trapped between them. )

Title: Pinned
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance.
Warnings: Slash, drunken naughtiness, fluff, allusions to politically incorrect cocktails, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Richard Castle.
Wordcount: 782
Summary: Because in some way, it always has to be Castle's fault.
Details: Written for the St. Patrick's Day Mini-Thon on [livejournal.com profile] ryanandesposito I didn't mean for this to be more or less the same fic as "Stupid Questions" only without the werewolves, but it kind of turned out that way...

"You're a tease, Kev," Javier whispered coarsely, leaning in half an inch more, "A filthy goddamned tease." )

Title: A Proliferation of Hearts
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance, Fluff, Angst, Humor.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, established relationship, cheesiness, fluff, mild squick, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan.
Wordcount: 1,879
Summary: Which concerns dubious holiday purchases, Javier being uncharacteristically sentimental, Kevin being characteristically demented, and the probability of them actually waiting for dessert approaches zero.
Details: Written for [livejournal.com profile] ryanandesposito's Valentine's Day Mini Ficathon. A little late.
This probably reads very strangely to anyone who hasn't read my Life series, but all you need know is that Javier is just a tiny bit...undead.
I know I said a V-Day fic for Life would wind up too cheesy, but— Um, no, actually I was right. It's way cheesy. I just did it anyway.



To be quite honest, the thing which had surprised Javier the most was that it was even possible for him to find the holiday any more offensive than he already had. )

(Ficlet) Jamais Vu

black_sluggard: (ryan and esposito)
Title: Jamais Vu
Series: A Once and Future Thing
Fandoms: Castle, The Eagle
Rating: PG
Genre: Romance, Supernatural
Warnings: spoilers for The Eagle.
Details: Pre-slash, genre!crack, crossover, unbetad.
Wordcount: 870
Characters/Pairings: Castle—pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan. The Eagle—pre-Marcus/Esca.
Summary: "I swore an oath of honor never to abandon you."
Details: I consider this a prequel of sorts to "Deja Vu".
Oh, and like "Deja Vu" and "Women Scorned", the idea for this was actually poached out of someone else's conversation, so blame—er, credit to [livejournal.com profile] coffeebuddha and [livejournal.com profile] theslashbunny for putting it in my head.


Watching Javier drive away had left a cold, tight ache in his gut. It was more than just fear. More than just tension )

Title: Incubus
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: R
Genre: Horror, Angst, Romance
Warnings: Slash, genre!crack, zombies, unbetad, spoilers for Knockout in a massively AU sort of way. Dark, horror, explicit violence and gore, non-explicit sexual content, squick, vore, cannibalism. Warnings are there for a reason. Heed them. While some of these warnings were also on "Quality of Life", this fic isn't nice about them like that one was.
Also: I had thought I was long past the point of feeling cruel for what I inflict on characters when I write. This one proved me wrong. That could be a warning in and of itself...
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan. Hal Lockwood.
Wordcount: 2,320
Summary: A formula for mutually assured destruction.
Details: Life AU. Thanks go out to [livejournal.com profile] roachstar (if she's willing to accept it) for reminding me that if Montgomery was still alive in this 'verse, then Lockwood probably was too.


A head shot was the only chance he'd ever had of leaving that alley alive... )

Title: Of Mice and Men
Fandoms: Castle, Fables
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst, Fantasy, Humor, Romance
Details: Slash, genre!crack, AU, crack, unsolicited crossover, fairy tales, talking animals, author insanity, shades of "omfg what did I just write?", unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Castle—Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Kate Beckett. Fables—Bigby Wolf, Frau Totenkinder, Reynard, Rose Red, Bagheera, others. OCs.
Wordcount: 30,178
Summary: In which a city mouse visits the country, which predictably leads to trouble and (in no particular order) revelations, relations and reciprocation; a funeral and a shotgun wedding; and Javier almost gets eaten by a panther.
Notes: A crossover with the comic Fables. This was done for [livejournal.com profile] adja999 for [livejournal.com profile] ryanandesposito's Secret Santa Fic Exchange. I apologize for crossing with a fandom you probably don't even read, but this was honestly the only thing my muse wanted to run with.
Fortunately, Fables draws its characters from fairy tales and similar stories, so they should at least be familiar in that context. On the off chance anyone happens to be familiar with Fables, this takes place before (i.e. blatantly ignores) the "Dark Ages" arc.

Prologue: Once Upon a Time...
(...which introduces characters we don't know, characters we only think we know, and characters we do know whom we may not recognize.)
Chapter One: Curiouser and Curiouser
(In which Javier experiences guilt, denial and car trouble, and a black panther is poorly substituted for a white rabbit.)
Chapter Two: Fish, Ponds, and Things of That Sort
(Which concerns a long-overdue reunion where awkwardness is mostly a matter of scale.)
Chapter Three: The Sky Is Falling
(In which everyone does their best, but nothing makes sense and there really isn't any time for proper explanations.)
Chapter Four: A Marriage of Inconvenience
(In which further questions are raised, most of which are not answered, but even then Javier is quick to sense when things start going rapidly downhill...)
Chapter Five: Small Talk
(Which contains shoe dropping of all sizes, and related puns become completely unavoidable.)
Chapter Six: Relatively Relative
(In which proper introductions take place, and it's all painfully civil—though just as painfully embarrassing.)
Chapter Seven: Hare Trigger
(In which a second kiss proves even more disarming than the first, magic animals discuss gay marriage, and Kevin is given some heavy food for thought.)
Chapter Eight: Trial or Error?
(In which a third kiss decides whether or not a fourth will seal the deal.)
Chapter Nine: Holy Matri-moley
(In which Javier's life flashes before his eyes...which, given the existence of talking panthers is probably long overdue.)
Epilogue: ...Happily Ever After?
(In which matters may not be resolved as easily as anyone believes...)

Title: Thanksgiving
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Romance, Fluff, Humor
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, unbetad (all par, for me), prejudice, what could be perceived as borderline Catholic bashing (see end notes), coming-out clichés, potential minor squick.
Characters/Pairings:  Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 1,076
Summary: It was a given they each had a lot to be thankful for… (A holiday fic late for its holiday.)
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

"Sometimes, if you’re patient and you’re lucky, you can get everything you want." )

Title: Burned
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Humor, Angst, Romance, Fluff
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, unbetad (all par, for me).
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 525
Summary: Though post-vitals were resistant to many forms of disease, there were numerous minor indignities Javier still had to worry about (i.e., more zombie cuteness).
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).


Certain aspects of Javier’s condition made the hurts and illnesses he was still susceptible to difficult to diagnose... )

Title: Personal Demons
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Humor, Angst, Romance
Warnings: Pre-slash, unbetad, unrequited/one-sided.
Characters/Pairings: pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Kevin/Jenny, Javier/Lanie.
Wordcount: 418
Summary: Wishful interpretation of a certain missing scene from "Demons".
Details: Yeah, so, I had this basically finished but totally forgot about it... Oops.



In a loving universe, the "monster fight" after dinner might have gone something like this... )
black_sluggard: (ryan and esposito)
Title: Trick or Treat
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Fluff (do those two go together? Apparently, if you're me.)
Details: Pre-slash, genre!crack, horror elements (which are for once totally not squicky), adorability, Roachletts.
Wordcount:  5,508
Characters/Pairings: Castle―Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan.
Summary: "Is someone...singing?"
Notes: Written for the Halloween Anon-athon at [livejournal.com profile] ryanandesposito. Though, honestly, this fic probably couldn't have been less anonymous if I tried. Javi's POV? Check. Geek references? Check. Supernatural elements and   internal repetition? Check and check. This fic was heavily influenced by Stephen King's IT.
 
 
All it had taken was a weakening at a single point. After that, it all came down easily. )

Title: Reflection
Series: Life
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Horror, Romance.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, prejudice, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 809
Summary: The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).
 

If offered the chance there was no question... )

Title: Running Hot and Cold
Series: Life
Fandoms:Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst, Romance, Fluff.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, naughtiness, boys in bathrooms, PWPish, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 663
Summary: Javier's condition meant their relationship was one of constant compromise, but not all of those compromises were a burden... Another angst-fluffish ficlet from the Life 'verse.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).


"You may have a point." )

Title:  Sui Generis
Series: Genus
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Sci-fi, Romance.
Warnings: Possible squick, non-sexual content skirting dub-con
Reverse Warnings: Whatever certain scenes or warnings might lead one to believe, this fic contains neither mpreg nor naughty tentacles. I promise.
Details: Pre-slash, AU, genre!crack, angst, body horror, mood whiplash, insanity (not the characters', mine), starfish aliens, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Castle―pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Kevin/Jenny, Richard Castle.
Wordcount: 14,909
Summary: Javier confessed never expecting Kevin to believe him. Kevin didn't, but somehow, things still wound up spiraling frighteningly out of control...
Details: I began this prior to the episode "Heartbreak Hotel", so it kind of hinges on Jenny not being ridiculous enough to deny her future husband his best man...
I partially blame [info]start_to_stop for this fic. Their alien!Jenny fic was just so awesome I had to play with my own personal plot smeerp. Don't expect anything approaching normal here. Of course, because I am incapable of writing a concept without taking it seriously, this is yet another attempt at crack that devolved into something else. This time xeno and body horror. For those of you who liked "Evidence to the Contrary" and "Quality of Life", here's more of the same type of bizarre weirdness... Only kind of even more so. *sigh* I need to stop letting my undiagnosed brain tumor write my fics for me.
