Title: The Greatest Trick of All
Author: meredevachon
Fandom: The Prestige
Pairing: Rupert Angier/Alfred Borden
Prompt #15: Glissade
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1427
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for the movie, obviously.
Disclaimer: The Prestige, its characters and situations do not belong to me. This is all in fun and for love of the characters.
A/N: So… I went to see The Prestige yesterday, and afterwards, got to wondering how long it would be before I started seeing Angier/Borden or Borden/Fallon slash. That’s when the bunny hit, and next thing I knew, I was writing Angier/Borden. I tried to write this in a style that felt like the movie (although hopefully a little bit more linear), and hope it works.
Summary: Every great magic trick consists of three acts. Love is perhaps the greatest magic trick of all.

Read The Greatest Trick of All in my journal.

Fandom: Original Fiction

Warnings: mild language
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Summary: How do Declan and Tim impress the girls?
Word Count: 1,321

A/N: Again, couldn’t finish the Coadeyder bit this week. I’m either too busy, bored with it, or else returning Lachie has somehow resolved that bit for me and I’m disinclined to go back to it now. I will try eventually.

This week’s piece is a rough following to the more serious Semper Fidelis post from a few weeks back. It’s fairly frivolous, which I needed after all the recent heavy. All feedback and concrit welcome.

How do Declan and Tim impress the girls?

Prompt: Glissade
Warnings: Femmeslash ahead. Nudity. Nothing explicit, though.

Summary: A fairy tale about a witch trying to find a treasure.
Notes: This one is for shadow_in_eden. *hugs* I hope this works as 'pretty' for you ;)

Finished it this morning, leaving town in ten minutes, no time to proofread. Hope it's good.

Title: Sunset, Sunrise
Fandom: BtVS
Prompt: #15 - Glissade
Rating: Pg
Summary: A short epilogue to Drifters, which was the first story I ever wrote. You don't really need to read it to understand this. In fact, re-reading it for the first time in... how ever long, all I can see are the faults. You probably do need to know that after the events of Wild at Heart, Oz went drifting around until he met up with Xander in Oxnard, then they drifted together. They met a young woman called Nikki, who was killed by a vampire, and so they decided to return to Sunnydale, because that was the right thing to do.
Note: I played with the prompt a little - went for the musical, rather than the physical version.

( Dance with the Devil )

Previously: Angel stood in front of the door and crossed his arms. "Strip," he ordered.

Xander turned his back and with shaky hands peeled off his tee shirt. It was sticky with perspiration...and blood where it met his lower back. He hunched over and took off his jeans. His boxers were stuck to the welts on his ass.

"Oh, Xander..." Angel's voice was sad.

"I'm okay! I agreed to it."

"Yes, I know. You're being groomed."

"Groomed for what?" Xander winced as he tried to tug his boxers free of where they were stuck to the dried blood.

"To be a slave."
