Title: On Lateness
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Gazelle/Roxy Morton, Richmond Valentine
Summary: An unexpected encounter on campus.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,760 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: An unusual pair for me but I like to branch out from time to time. This is based on an American (and also outdated) university experience and I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about TAs (only one of my profs ever had one), so apologies in advance for any mistakes there. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: Gazelle blinked at her. “You remember me?” She sounded surprised, in that I-try-very-hard-not-to-take-anything-too-seriously way Roxy remembered her having.

Of course she remembered. Gazelle always sat at the back of the classroom, the seat beside her always empty, and she would prop her legs up on it and survey the room through the curtain of her hair in a listless fashion that did little to disguise how smart she was and how much she really did care about getting an education. Her legs were bright and knife sharp, like her smile and her eyes and her tongue- when Roxy coaxed her into speaking during class, that was. Gazelle was very hard to forget indeed.

Title: So Fair a Gift
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Roxy Morton
Summary: Eggsy is getting a little tired of waiting for a certain someone to introduce himself.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (2,675 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: This is a short AU I wrote a while ago and then forgot about. It's (loosely) based on a prompt from this post: “I am a ballet dancer and I see you every time I perform in the first row and there are flowers in my room every time I perform when will you finally introduce yourself” AU. I've done a lot of theater but very little dance, so I may be making some incorrect assumptions. The title is from, "Your soul is a beautiful thing, child. No emperor received so fair a gift. The angels wept to-night” from Phantom of the Opera, because of course I went there. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: It had been a couple of weeks- all right, three weeks and a day- since Eggsy saw the man first. Eggsy didn’t often look at the audience- it was distracting and unprofessional- but on that particular night Eggsy just happened to glance over and there he was, sitting in the front row with this incredibly intense look on his face. He was well fit, wearing a tuxedo that hugged his broad shoulders and surprisingly slim waist just as tightly as Eggsy would rather like to, with faintly greying hair and these dark, dark eyes.

Title: Ghosts
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart
Summary: Eggsy shows up at Harry's house.
Rating: G
Length: Very Short (836 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Happy Halloween! This was inspired by a "there's a ghost in my house can I stay with you" prompt that I can't seem to find now. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: “I think my house is haunted,” was the first thing Eggsy said when Harry opened the door.

Title: One In a Thousand
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Dagonet
Summary: A year from the day they met, Eggsy decides to do something special for Harry.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (6.724 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Not Brit-picked. Also I'm a little bit sick, but hopefully my editing job was sufficient anyway. Part of my Heart and Understanding series.
Excerpt: Eggsy could hardly blame Harry for not realizing back then how important the day they met would eventually be, and- again- keeping track of time wasn’t Harry’s strong suit.

Harry’s strong suit, as far as Eggsy could tell, was being really good to Eggsy. Eggsy had come around, for the most part, to the idea that he deserved it, but he still wanted to… not pay Harry back exactly, but do the same. Harry had told Eggsy enough times how happy Eggsy made him already, just by being himself, that Eggsy believed that too- but he still wanted to do something to show Harry how special he was once in a while, and today seemed like the perfect place to start.

Title: A Pocket Full of Soul
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart + Daisy
Summary: Eggsy has something to ask Harry.
Rating: G
Length: Very short (584 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: The Kingsman sequel will be out a year from yesterday, so I thought I'd post a little something in honor of that. I'm not really sure how much of a time skip from the end of the movie is required for Eggsy's sister to be this articulate, so I'm leaving that as open as possible. The title comes from "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: Eggsy scowled at his reflection, finding fault with everything about it. He was wearing his best suit, sure- but his hair was askew, his cheeks were flushed, and no matter what he tried he couldn’t get it to sound quite… right.

Title: Today and Every Day
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Roxy Morton
Summary: Eggsy is planning to ask Harry to marry him. The question is- how?
Rating: R
Length: Medium (5,139 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: The title is from "Marry Me" by Train and is the result of me really scraping the bottom of the title barrel. When I looked up the lyrics there was some confusion as to whether the line was "every day" or "everyday" but the former is the one that makes the most sense to me, so it's what I'm going with. There's a reference to Eggsy and his mother's past with Dean here which is vague enough that I don't think it warrants a "past abuse" tag, but if you prefer not to think about any of that, know that it's there. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: All of the proposal ideas that Eggsy had had since his conversation with Roxy- ranging from just asking over dinner in a quiet booth at Harry’s favorite restaurant to sky writing- all seemed like either too little or too much, sometimes both at the same time.

Title: I Never
Fandom: Forever
Pairing/Characters: Henry Morgan, Jo Martinez, Joanna Reece, Mike Hanson, Lucus Wahl
Summary: Henry agrees to be honest playing "Never Have I Ever."
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (1,094 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings:I'd set this sort of midway through the series? It's when I got the idea, though it took me forever (heh) to actually get it together.
Excerpt: Then came Henry’s turn. He had to think for a moment, then: “Never have I ever streamed a movie.” He even said ‘streamed’ like it was a word in a foreign language that he had picked up the meaning of in context but still wasn’t quite sure of.

Title: Having Plans
Fandom: Longmire
Pairing/Characters: Henry Standing Bear/Vic Moretti/Walt Longmire, The Ferg, mentions of Vic/Ed Gorski and Vic/Sean Moretti
Summary: Sequel to Endings and Beginnings
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (2,855 words)
Disclaimer: These lovely characters are not mine.
Notes/Warnings: So, this is probably not everything everyone was hoping for in a sequel to Ending and Beginnings. What can I say? I was inspired by Henry’s least favorite holiday, and then I needed a few days to get it off the ground. I adore Vic’s family in the book series, but since I’m pretty sure that the whole Gorski business would not have gone down like it did on their watch I have concluded that TV canon Vic’s family is very different, and I don't recall any mentions of them in the series, so I used that as an excuse to make them less than awesome.
Excerpt: “What are you doing for Thanksgiving?” Vic asked.

If the non-sequitur bothered Walt, he didn’t show it. “The same thing I always am, probably. Having a dinner of things which are not turkey, cranberry sauce or sweet potatoes with Henry. Sometimes Cady comes along. Sometimes not.”

“And this year?”

“I think she’s going to visit some friends from law school. As is probably evident, it was never a big family event, even when Martha was still with us.”

Title: Happy Anniversary
Fandom: Agents of SHIELD/The Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Pairing/Characters: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson; mentions of Bruce Banner, FitzSimmons and Nick Fury
Summary: Director Coulson tends not to make it to dinner, so Clint brings dinner to him.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,157 words)
Disclaimer: These lovely characters are not mine!
Notes/Warnings: This was written for the

older_not_dead promptathon 17 prompt "anniversary dinner"
Excerpt: Clint rolled his eyes and put the bag in the machine by the front desk. The machine was way cooler than a metal detector. It was Asgard tech, specifically designed to identify weapons. Forks only got past it some of the time, which puzzled Clint. When it did detect something, the machine started screeching like it was Ragnarok, and since that would pretty much ruin Clint’s evening he had decided to forgo utensils altogether this time around.

Title: First Impressions
Fandom: Longmire/The Walt Longmire Mysteries
Pairing/Characters: Cady Longmire, Henry Standing Bear/Walt Longmire
Summary: Walt has had worse meals than this one. He just can't think of them right now, for a variety of reasons.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium (5,063 words)
Disclaimer: No one you recognize belongs to me.
Notes/Warnings: This was written for the

older_not_dead promptathon 17 prompt "the bad food was the best part of the evening"
Excerpt: Henry looked like he’d be slipping bites to the dog, if the Pipers had had a dog. Being Henry, he was probably even smooth enough to get away with it.
