Rating: PG-13
Summary: A broken-down car, a desert road, and a bottle of scotch

Prompts: power kink, technology issues, and betrayal. (I'm counting the car as technology:)

(Notes: Written for the brave_new_slash challenge, and insanely, insanely late. I am so, so sorry. I tried, yo.)

Missions like this made Claude wish he'd never quit smoking.

Prompts: bottom!Bennet, snarky Claude, sex toys

Note: Written for the brave_new_slash exchange, and very far past the deadline. I know, I suck.

Pairing/Characters: Implied Claude/Bennet, baby!Claire, Sandra/Bennet

Warnings/Spoilers: implied slash, less-than-legal adoptions, implied mistreatment of a child (canon), 1x17 and much of volume 2.
Written for: nina_ds in the Morally Grey November Exchange with the prompts: at least some of it to be set during their partnership, pre-shooting; foreshadowing; Claude complaining about American beer.
Summary: “According to the file, we’ve adopted a healthy little girl: approximately five months old, 17 lbs—”

AN: Heartfelt thanks to fantasticpants, who read at least five drafts of this story and asked the question “Why now?” without which this fic would never have come to be, and to indyhat, who provided both an excellent beta and inspiration.

Somehow, Bennet was always stunned to find out how much of his privacy had been breached by his employers. Claude was only ever surprised by the freedoms left to them.

Rating: PG 13
Prompts: The great outdoors, pursuit, sour, genre requested: angst
Summary: Claude has a bad day out in the woods.
AN: Written for the brave_new_slash Fic Exchange for cerebel. Way past the deadline. Sorry about that. “Changing rocks” belongs to Dragon*Con TV and is used because I have a weird sense of humor.

Where did it say in my contract that I do... this?

Recipient/Prompts: misachan, prompts: waiting out a storm, boredom, easy mission goes very bad.

Summer Storms

Title: The Delicate Art of Making Out Up
Pairing: Claude/Bennet
Rating: PG-13
Words: 3650
Prompt: for semirose // "I don't dance", toast, and a practical joke
Summary: "How, exactly, do you go about making up to a person you shot – not just once, but twice?"
A/N: Thanks to futuresoon for the handholding and the beta. All other mistakes are mine. Apologies for the lateness. Feedback much appreciated. Thanks!

( Fantastic. So, looks like we’re livin’ together again, rookie. )

Rating: R
Pairing: Claude/Bennet
Warnings/Spoilers: Company Man and 2x06 - The Line
Recipient/Prompts: indyhat // Training, First time, Indiana Jones
Word Count: around 3600
A/N: again, betaed by the wonderful fantasticpants, who's probably the only reason any of this makes sense. I don't think this fits the Action/Adventure genre, but hey, I tried XD
Summary: Bennet's that guy. You know the type. The kind that gives off a very particular vibe. Something bordering on... Decency. Annoying, intense, disquieting decency. With the patheticly eager smile and his "wild enthusiasm".

Title: This One Time, In the Desert…
Characters/Pairings: Claude/Bennet
Rating: R
Receipient/Prompts:veetvoojagig/Getting drunk together, confessions, lurid fantasies.
Warnings: Complete stupidity. And dirty talk.
Word Count: 1564
Summary: “Things work when you hit them, Bennet. Everyone knows that. Kick your telly, cable comes back on. Slap the dashboard, sound on your radio is crystal clear. Hit your transmitter with a hammer, and all of a sudden you’re able to call the Company to come pick you up in the middle of the desert.”
A/N: Written for Morally Grey November at brave_new_slash. Written at the last minute because I suck. Enjoy!

This is the part where Nakamura comes in, right?

Title: Proximity
Rating: soft R, for language and slash.
Pairing: Claude/Bennet
Warnings/Spoilers: Moderate violence; no spoilers past 1.17 ("Company Man").
Recipient/Prompts: Written for trollopfop as part of Morally Grey November - I'm so sorry it's late! Prompts were: Broken bottles, glittering under a streetlight. A memory involving tubes and scalpels (not necessarily used on Claude or Bennet themselves). This line, or a variation on it: "You know what the problem is with love? You give away a piece of yourself. And will you look at that, I'm fresh out."
Word Count: 8,981. Woah.
Summary: He likes his new partner. Likes the way that Bennet, for all his dependence on protocol and the chain of command, isn't quite as impervious to Claude's reckless grin as he'd like to pretend. It's altogether rather promising.
A/N: Eternal morally grey gratitude to fantasticpants, who for the longest time was the only thing standing between me and death by plot bunny. I am not worthy. Really.

And this is the main laboratory

Title: Job Satisfaction
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Claude/Bennet
Recipient/Prompts: fantasticpants. Captivity, a gun being used (not necessarily fired, can also be a taser gun), an apology. Maybe not quite what you intended, but it's what they felt like doing, so... enjoy?
Word Count: 2341
Spoilers: "Company Man"
Notes: I'm sneaking in just under the wire with this. Well, it's still the 17th where I am, anyway. Warning for something dangerously like fluff. Sorry, I'm fresh out of angst, and I wanted to see the boys just... Enjoying each other a little, and more or less at peace with being morally ghey grey. Only, you know, with violence. Have a tiny bit of foreshadowing at the end, though.

Summary: There are days when Bennet really loves his job. There are also the days he gets shot and held captive. And some days are both.

( It's not a real cut. It's just pretending. )

Title: Tell Me Anything
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Claude/Bennet, Sandra/Bennet
Recipient/Prompts: liritarofrohan, Strong Sandra presence (perhaps finding out about the boys), target practice, unnecessary complications. I, uh... I hope this is something close to what you wanted. ^_^
Word Count: 2250
Spoilers: "Company Man," but this is entirely pre-series and mostly things I've made up.
Notes: Written for liritarofrohan for the brave_new_slash Morally Grey November fic exchange. And it's late and I'm sorry, but real life interferes, as it were. :P Comments/crit are always more than welcome!

Summary: "It’s harder to lie to Thompson than it is to lie to Sandra, and that more than anything tells him just how much he’s fucked this up."

( Her husband is a paper salesman. )

Summary: "One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable to inflict upon our enemies."

also, I'm wicked sorry this is a few minutes late. I thought today was the 4th until about 10 and then I had coding to deal with. hopefully this is still okay.
