Rating: PG
Notes: After a brief discussion with bonoffee (for the nth time) lamenting how U2 slash fics are so few and far between, we decided to do something productive. I asked her for three words to make a story out of. Because she was really sleepy, she took all of three seconds to think of the words.

( chair, rose, hourglass )

To add, if anyone wants to play: I'm picking three words from this piece and throwing them at anyone who'd care to write them into another fic. Humor me.

Title: No Secret At All

Pairing: Bono/Edge
Rating: PG
Beta: pop_daisy
Disclaimer: I don’t own U2, I don’t know U2. This is strictly fiction.
Archive: u2slash and LiB, others please ask.
Author’s notes: In my LJ, I asked for a pairing, an era and a quote for inspiration and crowgirl13 gave me B/E, ZooTV and “It’s no secret at all”. After having had the idea simmering for a while, a pretty unsuspected POV presented itself. My eternal gratitude and admiration goes to my beta, without whom this would be merely a shadow of a ficlet. Please read and any comments are much appreciated.

Having only posted one story about two years ago, I'm still newish to this.  But, here it goes...

Title:  New York: Part One (This is the first of what will be a story in three parts: taking place in/near the Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and Elevation eras respectively. I tried to pay attention to actual timeline details, but if I screw up somewhere... well, it's fiction.)
Author: lonely_hunter
Rating: PG (for now)
Pairing: B/E
Disclaimer: I dabble only in lies.

Warning:  At the risk of being needlessly confusing, I wrote in multiple first-person pov.  Each paragraph shifts back and forth from Edge's/Bono's perspective.  What can I say?  That's how it played out in my head.  If it doesn't work, let me know.

...everyone in the house seemed eager to meet Bono, who arrived in typically tinted sunglasses, and typically declined interviews.

"I'm here working on 'Spiderman the Musical' with Julie Taymor," he said. "I don't want to talk." Taymor was nearby and was happy to. "He and The Edge are the composers of the show," said the woman who brought "Lion King" to Broadway and made a movie-musical out of Beatles' songs. "He's so much fun," she said of Bono. "Watching him and The Edge is like watching the best married couple ever."

A/N: No, it is not fic. But I have half-given up on writing, so I might as well put this membership to good use by slapping one of my more recent drawings up here. *sigh, shrug*  Not expecting much from it, I enjoy it. Based on The Beatles song ,I want You (She's so Heavy).

Author’s notes: This was originally supposed to be the companion piece to my first post, but it looks like there's at least one more chapter in the works, for resolution. It has also been edited slightly, thanks to the feedback :D (hope the tenses are straighter)

Hope you enjoy.

Rating: PG
Comments: Thank you very much to the wonderful Amadi for beta reading and encouragement even though this isn't her fandom.

( The Berlin Curse )

So, I haven't posted in this community in ages and I'm sad to say I got out of writing for awhile (although I still read the fics an unhealthy amount). I do have something that could possible by posted once its beta'd and all.

Anyhow, I saw U23D again tonight and I came back over here immediately upon arriving home. I re-read some of my old favourites but there's one I can't find.

Room 25.

Does anyone else remember this? Adam/Larry. When Adam was still in boarding school and Larry was his new roomie and it was adorable? Where is it? Help!

Hi. I've been lurking for a while now and decided to try my hand at this. It's un-beta'd and started out complete. I did check spelling, though, and don't think I massacred the English language too badly.

I'm not sure if this was what Zooropababy had in mind for the challenge, but this is what came out.

So I don't think it counts as a spoiler, since the album's out and it's a quote from the deluxe version's book that has no lyrics or what have you, but....
( to be on the safe side )
The ellipse is part of the original quote, not an edit I put in.

There are SO MANY ways this could go - anybody?

I dare YOU: Five things. Five time stamps. Five… whatever you’re in the mood for. Five things that are related or totally unrelated. Make it as short or as long as you like. Keep to a theme and/or an era or go crazy. Write and post it whenever you want to. The only rules are the ones of u2slash.

Author's notes: Touch the Flame part 3. Exit takes off where Revelation ended, and if you haven't read the earlier parts and/or chapters, I suggest you do so first, or this will not make any sense. Please note that in this chapter, I'm taking liberties with the historical context, deliberately using a scene that did not occur within the timeline of this chapter. My defence in doing so is that it fits too well into the plot of this story to be left out. After all, this is a fictional story. I'm very grateful to pop_daisy for her bravery to take on this tremendous project - I could never have done it without you! Please read and any comments are very much appreciated.

Disclaimer: all total fiction.
A/N: Some of you might remember my fic Wildflowers which I posted last year. I always planned to do more parts; it's just taken me this long to write the second one. I am not entirely certain that it follows, chronologically, from the first bit, but that doesn't really matter - it's working as a series of snapshots right now, rather than a concrete story.

Many thanks to the fabulous needleandspoon for the beta and the support.

Feedback appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Original Story: An untitled inspired by a comment fic by izzybeth. This was my first idea for this remix and while I'd hoped to try a different spin to see what I could make of it, this is way past late. I reserve the right to try again if the future permits :)
