Degrassi Fan Fiction

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:18:33 GMT

does anyone know where I can find fic for the original series - if it exists at all? I found a few snippets of Joey/Caitlin but a) gah, do not care about that ship, and b) that's it. I tend towards a slashier mindset, so slash fic would be especially welcome, but any good fic based off the old series would be cool. are there even any adult-centric TNG fics?

You Fool Everybody, a Marco/Tim fic

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 08:13:13 GMT

I can't believe people haven't started writing these yet, I think Marco and Tim are freaking adorable.

Title: You Fool Everybody
Author: xaverie_fiction
Rating: PG for now, will be R later on.
Pairing: Marco/Tim
Chapter: 1. To Put Chicks in the Mood
Word Count: 1,625
Summary: So Marco came out to his dad. That’s great and all, but Tim still doesn’t have a place to stay…
Warnings: This is a story about a homosexual relationship between two boys. I hope no one has a problem with that, but if you do... don't read.
Feedback: Heck yes, I'll take anything you got. In fact please tell me whatyou think if you happen to be reading this.
Comments: Uh, not really. No spoilers, this takes place directly after 509 – Tell It To My Heart. Song lyrics are from Blue and Yellow by The Used.

Marco nodded again as he listened to his papa walk away and lock the door behind him. His mother was right, one day he would understand, but that didn’t make this any less shard to swallow. Marco’s mouth was dry and his tongue felt twice his size and his throat constricted painfully. That was easily the worst thing he’d ever had to do in his life, and now he was supposed to go on like nothing had changed.

Leaning on the back of the kitchen chair, he trusted his mama would have a talk with his dad for him. Mrs. Del Rossi, always the mediator. It still felt weird, being in a fight with his dad. They never used to argue before, unless of course, it was over Marco’s profession after school or something silly like that. Not like this. Of course it could have been worse. His father could have…

“Oh my gosh, Tim!” Marco exclaimed instantly, remembering that the younger student was in a much worse situation than he. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, Marco dialed his number.

“Marco, are you sure that’s a good idea?” His mother asked in that Concerned Mother voice. “You’re father’s very sensitive right now and now that he knows…”

Marco looked up sternly at his mother and shook his head. “No, Ma, you heard him. He has no where else to go, and I won’t have him wandering around the streets like-“ Suddenly he heard a voice on the other line and it took him a moment to register if it really were the boy he was trying to reach. Placing his left hand over his other ear, Marco walked to the living room to hear better. “Tim?”

He sighed with relief when he heard a response. “I’m sorry I didn’t get to talk to you after the- oh,” he paused for Tim to answer, and then looked down half ashamed. “Yeah, thanks. But I should have done it a long time ago.” Upon hearing nothing but silence on the other end, Marco realized there wasn’t much for Tim to say to that, it was true.

Shaking his head he continued, “Anyway, Tim. Where are you?” He started to pace to and fro on the carpet, growing increasingly worried. “Right, stay there. I’m coming to pick you up… No, you’re staying here. Don’t… no, don’t worry about him. It’s too dangerous to be out there by yourself. I won’t let you get… hurt.” Marco said, thinking of a time when he was in the wrong place when he shouldn’t have been. God, that seemed like so long ago.

Snapping his phone shut, Marco grabbed his jacket and keys. “Ma, I’ll be back soon,” he said, kissing her quickly on the cheek.

“Be careful, Marco,” she replied in the same Concerned Mother voice, but he was out the door before she finished.

Frustrated, Marco flipped off the radio and focused all of his attention on the road. No matter how gay he was, there was a time and place for Britney Spears. This was not one of those times, and he doubted even he, Marco Del Rossi, former Class President and cheeriest kid in school could stand her over-peppy synth-pop vocals right now. Trying to keep his eyes on the sidewalks without crashing the car, Marco looked for Tim. Dammit, why did all of his clothes have to be so dark?

Finally, he signaled left and turned onto DeGrassi Avenue, where Tim was standing not far away, leaning against a street lamp and eyes trained on the pavement in front of him. The orange glow of the light washed over him and normally, that would be very unflattering on anyone else. However, as Marco pulled over, he vaguely thought it gave Tim a sort of melancholy ambience. If you liked that whole… Dark, Mysterious thing.

As Tim looked up, Marco managed a weak smile and Tim returned it just as enthusiastically, walking toward the passenger door. After sitting and buckling his seatbelt, Tim looked down at the floor of the vehicle. “You… you don’t have to do this, you know,” he said, glancing over at Marco, who’d yet to move the car.

Realizing he was staring, just a little, Marco cleared his throat and turned away, putting the car in drive. “Yes I do, Tim. Like I said, it’s way too dangerous out there,” he said, k-turning like a pro.

“But what about-“

“I said, don’t worry about him,” Marco said, glancing over, just for a moment. “My mom and I got it covered, okay? It’s not a problem,” he asserted, more to convince himself than the boy sitting beside him. It would be all right. His dad would get over it, eventually. He had to, right?

For a few minutes, they sat in silence. It felt far too long, Marco’s house wasn’t exactly that far from the school. However, as they sat in that car time seemed to stretch out forever and ever and Marco couldn’t help but wonder if that would be such a bad thing. They’d never have to face anyone or worry about anything ever again. Just the two of them, with no worries.

After a moment, Tim made a soft noise and Marco looked over at him. “What?”

Tim spoke a little louder, but not much. “I asked if I could turn on the radio?” he asked timidly.

“Oh,” Marco nodded, of course. “Sure, put on whatever you want.” A blush rose to his cheeks when he realized what he’d left on just minutes before.

Tim skipped past Britney without thinking twice about it and finally landed on some punk station. After a moment or two, Marco found himself smiling and nodding his head in time to the high-energy music. He looked over at Tim who looked more relaxed and smiled back at him. Before long the song changed, and Marco paused, listening for a while and subconsciously slowing down the car.

It burns a hole through everyone that feels it…

For some reason, he thought that this would be a good song to just chill out and breathe to. It sounded like some hardcore band that took a time off from screaming to say something sweet. Closing his eyes for a bit, Tim looked over at him, a little worried. “Marco?”

I should have done something, but I’ve done it enough…

Glancing at Tim questioningly, he asked, “What’s this song?”

Hands twitching nervously in his lap, Tim bit his lip, “Blue and Yellow.”

By the way your hands were shaking, rather waste some time with you…

“Oh,” Marco nodded and listened to the lyrics, smirking wryly to himself. They seemed incredibly apt at the time, and this was exactly why Marco believed in fate.

Turning into the driveway, Marco put the car in park and turned off the lights. Not being able to find anything to say to Tim, he smiled softly, causing Tim to blush and smile back, before climbing out of the driver’s seat and walking up to the front door. Resting his hand on the handle, he waited for Tim to catch up and paused. Standing there under the flood light, the tension between the two boys was nearly audible, but neither of them knew what to do about it. Standing silently for another minute, Marco finally leaned in just the slightest bit and said, “Listen. It’s going to be okay. I promise,” before opening the door and walking inside.

Tim nodded because what choice did he have but believe him? Marco was his Yoda, after all.

Anyways, remember to join The Degrassi Ficathon!

DEGRASSI FICATHON

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 04:36:53 GMT

Okay, so, I thought this would be fun. I really don't want this place to die, but nobody seems to want to post here. So, I thought.. "What about a fic challenge?"

This was inspired by other challenges, specifically the idolslash one.

What will happen is you will EMAIL ME 3 fic requests, and then I will send them to someone. They will choose one and write it. You will also be sent three, and choose one and write it.

An example of what you should put in your request is:

Pairing (can be slash/femslash/het .. or you can have Gen), Rating (if you don't care, say that. Or say "Anything over PG13" or something), and any other info (such as category: angst, drama, comedy, romance, tragedy, death, hurt/comfort, fluff, pwp, etc.).

My example:
Craig and Marco, anything over PG-13, angsty.

Fic length is up to you, but preferrably no drabbles and no long series. This is really just a one shot. Due date will be announced after the entries are collected and sent off, but you will have plenty of time to write it. And if there is any issue, you can email me or comment. You can post your fic here or at your own journal but please wait until the due date.

Any questions, ask here.

So.. this is what you should email me.

1) Your LJ Username.
2) First fan fic request.
3) Second fic request.
4) Third Request.
5) Things you don't feel comfortable with writing (a certain rating/a certain pairing/etc.)
6) Anything else I should know.

So.. an example would look like:
1)myljusername
2) Craig and Marco, anything over PG-13, angsty.
3) Emma and Manny, NC-17, PWP (porn without plot)
4) Spinner and Paige, PG, Fluffy
5) I'll write anything.
6) ..

EMAIL ANY SUBMISSIONS RIGHT HERE

Please have this information submitted by April 14th, 2005.

Fri, 18 Mar 2005 09:32:34 GMT

Hello guys! Me, again. I have an idea. I'm gonna post a poll (well, not really a poll, more like a text box) and you guys can fill in what you would like to see a fic about. A pairing, a situation, a certain thing, or all of it and then I'll post them all, and maybe that'll inspire people. It can be anything. Slash, Het, spoilers, not, any kinks, any rating or any pairing (and god knows, I love unconventional couples <3). Whatever you prefer.

For example, say you want a Marco and Craig fic, that involves the use of whipped cream ;) So you would write that in the box, click submit, and there you go. In fact, I'll make 3 boxes in case you have more than one idea.

Say you just want to read a Emma and Manny fic. So you just write Emma/Manny in the box, or if you want a fic where 2 characters go on a ferris wheel and get stuck, then write that. Fuun? Yes.

I can't guarentee that your fic will get written, but it'll give people ideas and that's always good. And there are tons of good writers out there, and maybe you are a good writer yourself. :D

Enjoys yourselves :)

View Poll: #456815

Annd also, I updated the pairings list. CHECK IT OUT. If you think of anything else, just comment.

If you need more room, comment or email me

Sat, 19 Feb 2005 21:51:59 GMT

I don't know where to post this but I was wondering if you would link with a new degrassi icon site??

If this isn't the appropriate place to post this I am very sorry.
Thanks!

Wed, 09 Feb 2005 00:26:16 GMT

Hey, just a note from the mod, me :) I'm hoping to get dff running smoothly again, and I hope you'll all help out. I'd love to read some new fan fics, so please feel free to post.

I'm thinking we should do something to get this place back up and running: a fic exchange, drabble contest, etc. Anyone have any interesting ideas?

I'd also like to let you know that I have updated the userinfo and the pairings list {linked in info}. So everyone, GET WRITING! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Bye!

Title A Movie Script Ending
Author Juicyfruit8930
RatingPG-13

Pairing Cranny
Summary They never really got to talk about them after the abortion. It seems as if they moved on but maybe neither one of them did.
Feedback yes please
Notes The title comes from a song by Death Cab For Cutie. This is a multi-chapter story.

She brushed her dark brown hair out of her eyes. She was well of aware that he was watching her from the counter but what did that matter. She was with JT now and he was there for her basically all her life. JT was reliable and one of her best friends. As long as she kept that in mind Craig's glaring couldn't get to her. She was stronger than that. Craig no longer had the power to make her do things that she would regret later. Her will was stronger than to break to his good looks and his kisses. Manuela Santos would never fall to Craig.
Craig watched her intently as she sat waiting for JT to return. He couldn't help but wonder how she was doing but mostly how was her relationship with JT. Sometimes he would find himself wondering if Manny loved JT the way she had told him she had loved him. He always decided that she hadn't reached that level with JT yet. That always made him feel calmer about the way things were.
Manny couldn't help but wonder what JT was doing now. She couldn't understand why it was taking him so long. She ran her fingers through her hair and stole a few glances of Craig. She wasn't sure if she should be nice and say "hi" or pretend that she didn't even see him there. She went with pretend she didn’t see him there.
Craig couldn't stand just sitting there and watching her without being able to talk to her. He made his way to her and he noticed when Manny brushed a few strands in front of her face. He was sick of watching from a far and not being able to make any contact.
“Well?” Manny asked with a bit of attitude in her voice.
“Hey.” Craig spoke nervously. The pressure was going to kill him. He could feel his palms becoming sweaty.
“I’m sorry.” Manny told him as she fidgeted in her seat.

“For what?” he asked confused.
“Being rude.” She replied.
“It’s okay.” He told her as he gave her a weak smile.
“How are you?” She asked.
“Great.” He lied.
“I’m doing great too.” She told him in her most convincing voice.
“Can we talk about us?” He asked.
“I can’t. I’m with JT.” Rolled off her tongue and a look of disappointment crawled onto his face.
“I see.” He replied with his ego more crushed than when he had decided to talk to her.
“Craig don’t take this the wrong way but I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t like being near you. Sometimes when I see you I get this feeling of hate and really I feel that right now.” She lied to him. She figured if she was going to get over him anytime soon he would have to be removed out of her life all together. She couldn’t have him and his puppy dog eyes messing up her chances at move on with one of the greatest guys she knew.
“Sorry I bothered you.” He mumbled and left her alone. He hated bitch Manny and wished things could go back to when Manny was sweet to him and completely in love with him. He enjoyed her presence and he wished he hadn’t thought of her as needy and clingy when they had a chance to be together.
Manny watched him walk away and held back the tears of guilt that were attempting to escape from her eyes. She couldn’t let herself shed another tear for Craig. She had to get over that silly chapter in her life where the thought of first love mattered to her. She had to be focused on her new relationship. She owed it to JT and a bit to herself.

Title I Love You
Author xbrokenglass
Rating G
Pairing Spinner/Emma <3
Summary Just a small drabble. I don't want to give anything away.
Feedback Yes! But no flames, constructive critism only please!

"Why do you like me anyways?" Spinner asked, shifting slightly on the bed.
"I like you for a lot of reasons." Emma replied, moving closer to Spinner's warm body. "You're funny, charming, sweet, smart-"
"I'm not smart." Spinner interrupted.
"You are." Emma explained. "You just don't try very hard. You're more than book smart too."
"You know, I never thought we'd end up together." Spinner confessed, turning to face the beautiful blonde. Emma laughed quietly.
"Me neither, but I'm glad we did." She smiled. Spinner kissed her forehead.
"Me too."
"I love you," she confessed. Spinner looked taken aback.
"Really?" He asked, obviously in shock.
"Yeah. Really." Emma replied, disappointed. This was not the reaction she was hoping for. Spinner looked deep into her eyes and stared at her for a while. She was so beautiful, so perfect. He had never felt anything close to the way he felt for her. When she cried, his heart broke and when she laughed, it was like everything was right in the world. Finally, he realized the words he wanted to say.
"I love you too, Emma Nelson. I really do." He leaned in and gently kissed her soft lips. She smiled beside him. That was the reaction she was hoping for.

Summary The song goes full circle
Feedback yes

Notes I wrote the song

Craig Manning, sitting at his desk trying to do his homework. It wasn't working. But this song kept popping in his head. He put his pencil down and grabbed his trusty guitar. He started to play some chords and started to hum a song.

"I thought I wanted everything....but I have nothing now."

He liked what he had and he wrote it down, making little scraches he called lyrics. He sat there some more, thinking of any other line. Nothing came...nothing at all. The only thing he could think about was Ashley. Her face, everything he loved about her once and then threw it all away with Manny the school slut. But what can you do, she was hot. Hot enough to throw away a good relationship. To throw away love, to make it go away and make it hate you. What a world, huh? Craig Manning put the paper in his pocket and put away his homework. It was almost 4, time to go find his friends and skate board. He walked out of the room, down the stairs into the street. The paper fell out of his pocket into the street.

Craig sighed as he flopped onto his custom made leather couch and turned on the TV,
feeling lonely again. Not soon after graduating from Degrassi, Craig made his way out to
California. Craig knew is would be a miraculous event to just “be discovered” one day,
so he spent a few months at UCLA, until Joey had a heart attack. Joey was always the
strong one, and knowing he was sick made Craig angry and sad at the same time.

When Joey had taken Craig under his wing in high school, it was like a fantastic heaven-sent event. Craig smiled as he remembered Joey and Sydney trying to get Angie to try salmon and she ended up pulling all the food off the table. Angie turned a little rebellious in her immature years, but Emma was attending a university near Degrassi and she promised to keep an eye on Angie. No dance clubs or spending too much time with any boyfriend.

Craig flipped the channels as he remembered Emma’s hair at her mother’s wedding. Who knew Mr. Simpson would make the best husband on Earth? Craig had gone to Mr. Simpson at least a million times when Joey was sick. He let Craig cry and was always honest with him.

Craig recently met his son, Samuel. Actually, Craig went looking for him. It was hard for him to track his baby down, but it was nice to get to know him, even if Craig did end up with milk and grape juice all over himself. He even met his turtle, Booger.

Craig wasn’t always happy with his choices, but one day, KABOOM! Craig landed the chance of a lifetime working the juicy social scene as a reporter for E! So it wasn’t exactly a job that would grant any kind of honor, but it paid for his house with a four-digit code just to get the elevator to unlock.

He’d seen girls who were skin and bones, stars pouring out the pain of their childhood, their dead so-and-so, and how their parents never came to their soccer games.

After hearing all these people with almost perfect lives spill their guts, he promised himself that he would go back home for Degrassi’s ten year reunion and dance with Emma, Manny, AND Ashley.

Hi. I'm Candice, and I'm new to the Degrassi 'fic writing thing. Anyway, here's the first Degrassi story I ever wrote...

Title: Let Her Cry
Author: Candice/NuttyRoyale
Rating: PG
Pairing: Ashley/Craig
Summary: from season 2, sometime after the end of "Karma Chameleon". Craig comforts Ash. Apologies to Hootie and the Blowfish.
Feedback: yes please.
Notes: lyrics from Hootie and the Blowfish's song "Let Her Cry", from the album Cracked Rear View.

Let Her Cry
just let her cry
let the tears fall down like rain
let her sing
if it eases all her pain...
and if the sun comes out tomorrow, let her be
oh, let her be.
--Hootie and the Blowfish

-----

Craig Manning had a deep-rooted hatred of school picture day.

It was probably due to the fact that all of his school pictures turned out horrible, with one of his eyes half closed, or a tuft of hair sticking out obnoxiously, or he'd forgotten it was picture day altogether, and he was wearing his scrubbiest looking clothes. He knew that high school photos were important—you were supposed to look your best because you wanted to be remembered as beautiful or handsome. But that certainly didn't mean his disdain for the occasion had lessened.

This time, he'd tried his best to actually have a decent photo. He'd brushed his hair a little, applied the tiniest bit of pomade or whatever that hair junk Sean had shoved at him to his curls, checked his teeth and outfit (gray "vintage" t-shirt and blue jeans), and reported to the gym to have his picture taken. It was relatively painless, shockingly. The slightly goofy-looking photographer told him to "sit up straight, slightly tilt your body toward the camera, and SMILE."

Craig prayed the picture wouldn't suck.

Mrs. Kwan had instructed the students to return to her classroom after having their pictures taken, and Craig was en route to the room when he heard sniffling. Curious, he turned a corner and walked down the corridor a little. There, sitting outside of the girls' washroom with her knees drawn close to her chest and mascara running in small black streams down her cheeks was Ashley Kerwin.

Craig slightly knew of her. Sean had told him about her, and how she'd thrown this party the year before that went disastrous. Ashley had taken E, and ended up making out with Sean, although at the time she was still "officially" with Jimmy Brooks. She had also called Paige Michalchuck a hag at the infamous party. He'd also heard various snatches of gossip about Ashley from other classmates, but Craig didn't believe anything yet. He'd only spoken to Ashley on a few occasions, but she seemed nice enough...

"Hey," he said softly, kneeling next to her.

Ashley looked up at him, her eyes still brimming with tears. "Hi. Don't you have a class to go to?" She wiped her eyes with the sleeves of her sweatshirt, leaving black smudges on them.

Craig cleared his throat. "Yes. Yes I do. But I happened to hear you, and... I was just curious. What's wrong?"

Ashley's sniffling had subsided, and her eyes were bowed down. "Every. Damn. Thing. Is. Wrong," she said, her voice in total monotone. "I screwed things up with Sean. Jimmy hates me, Paige hates me, and..." Her voice broke. "She. She even turned Terri against me. And Terri. Terri was the ONLY person who gave a damn about me when my mom insisted on sending me into therapy over the summer… she was the only one who cared, and PAIGE just... RUINED it." Fresh tears sprang to her eyes.

Craig just sat there, not quite knowing what to do. He wrapped his left arm anxiously around Ashley's shoulder. It was the only thing he could think of doing.

"What did I do?" Ashley sobbed. "How could I have been so... stupid?"

He didn't want to spew clichés—it's okay; we all screw up; don't worry about it. But for some reason, he felt compelled not to. All he could really do was listen to her, and give her a shoulder to cry on. And as Ashley sobbed, Craig wondered how much hell Kwan would give him, and why he found himself thinking that Ashley was gorgeous, even with mascara-stained cheeks.
