Title: Fury
Author: fantwho
Pairing/Characters: Kevin/Toby (barely)
Rating/Category: Probably R, due to language and violence
Spoilers: Takes place in season two
Summary: Evil comes to Dante’s Cove, forcing an alliance of strange bedfellows.
Notes/Warnings: Once again, no sex at all. Sorry. I got carried away with this horror idea, and I had to viciously cut stuff out. It could have been an entire season through line (complete with kinky sex, hallucinations, drugs, and many bad things. Would have been fun.). Although please note the recurring “triad” theme, where three people always seem to be solving or involved in one problem or another.

Title: Reunited
Author: Spikedluv
Fandom: Dante’s Cove
Rating/Category: PG13/Gen (with a hint of slash)
Character/Pairing: Emily Vallin (Kevin/Ambrosius hinted at)
Length: 1033 words
Spoilers: Season One, Part Two
Summary: Emily and Ambrosius are reunited.
Notes: Written for the dantescovefests Fest #5: Kevin’s Return From the Dead. Originally I wanted to write a vampire!Kevin fic in which Kevin kills Van and Adam and turns Toby into his thrall . . . . This is not that fic. Instead I got this kinda cool but really creepy idea, but I didn’t really have anywhere to go with it that wouldn't have creeped even me out way too much, so I dropped it and came up with another idea. In the way of creepy ideas, however, this refused to leave me alone. So I wrote it down. I am still working on the less creepy story, but in the meantime, I give you this fic. Sorry. *eg* [If you want more of a warning regarding the creepy aspect of the fic, click on the cut after the fic.]
Feedback: Would be appreciated.

Need more of a warning than you were given above? ( spoiler )

Title: Cursed
Author: fantwho
Pairing/Characters: Kevin/Toby (and a bit of Kevin/Colin, sort of)
Rating/Category: R, and I’m not sure about the category (a bit of slash, though)
Spoilers: Takes place in season two
Summary: Something odd is happening to Kevin, something that seems to track back to him being revived from the dead. But how can he fix a problem he’s not even sure he believes in it? Whether he fully believes in the supernatural or not, it seems to believe in him.
Notes/Warnings: Bad language, but not much sex at all. Sorry. This almost a straight (no pun intended) horror story.

The theme for our fifth Dante’s Cove FanFiction Fest is: Kevin’s Return From the Dead

This theme takes us back to events that occurred in season one when Keven was killed by Grace and then brought back to life by Ambrosius. Or was he? *cue spooky music*

Two quotes in the first season set my mind to spinning with the possibilities they alluded to:

Van: You know, there’s other possibilities that you’re not considering here.
Toby: Like what, Kevin turned into a vampire or something? Please.

Fests will be held here twice a year, alternating with the Small Fandoms Fest where Dante’s Cove is also represented. Here is the updated schedule for next year:

Feb/Mar: Dante’s Cove Fest
Apr: OFF
May-July: Small Fandoms Fest
Aug/Sept: Dante’s Cove Fest
Oct: OFF
Nov-Jan: Small Fandoms Fest

Please note that the Nov 2007 - Jan 2008 round at Small Fandoms Fest is currently accepting prompts through Thursday, Nov 22. There are already several Dante’s Cove prompts there, but please check them out and add some of your own! And don’t limit yourself to Dante’s Cove, submit prompts for all your favorite small fandoms.
