Jerry's House of Ass Beating

So, I was looking for something special to do for 10/10/10, because, I mean, we won't get another date like that (except 11/11/11 and 12/12/12), and shadowen suggested that I write ten ficlets in ten fandoms, ten words each. So I did, and I encourage you to do so as well!

Fandoms: Inception, Venture Bros, Mythbusters, Dresden Files, Phoenix Wright, Stargate Atlantis, House MD, NCIS, Cowboy Bebop, and Blake's 7; very, very vague spoilers for Cowboy Bebop, Blake's 7, and Venture Bros.

( 10/10/10! )

So here's a bunch of stuff I haven't posted here yet.

Title: Might Have Been
Summary: This never happened.
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Word Count: 409
Rating/Warnings: R
Pairing: Faye/Julia
A/N: Written for rosehiptea for purimgifts 2009.

( Might Have Been )

Title: Drunk
This is probably my most popular one-shot, with the possible exception of Getting It. kenzier asked for commentary like forever ago, in one of those memes that I never end up finishing. So. If there's something else you'd like to see commentary'd, drop me a comment.
Summary: Spike is trashed, and Faye babysits him. I am so lame at summaries.
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Word Count: 816
Rating/Warnings: Definite R. Het. Slightly OOC Spike.
Pairing: Spike/Faye
A/N: This happens between Jupiter Jazz Part II and Bohemian Rhapsody. It's random. I was trying to write an angsty songfic, of all things. It was going to be Faye out drinking right after Spike's death, and the song was "Grace Is Gone" by DMB. Yeah, I know. But it mostly got turned into One More Song. Except Spike and Faye had other ideas, which I think are better. This is sort of a different take on Faye than one normally sees, cause I see her as being, quite honestly, a lot like me at times- brash and almost simple on the outside, but with tons of thought playing out behind the scenes. The ending is a little awkward, cause.. well, with the tense and all, it was about to get a lot more awkward. This is back when the only porn I had written was Triptych, which, btw, don't read. I still don't like writing present tense porn, and I'll Be Your Baby Tonight was the only place I really pulled it off. Anyway, on to the good part!

Title: It Could Be Sweet from "The Late Spike Spiegel Blues"
Summary: "Faye pulled her mind back from the fog that Spike's kiss had cast over her."
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Word Count: 1001
Rating/Warnings: R, language
Pairing: Spike/Faye
A/N: I know, I know, I'm sorry for the cliffhanger, and I'm sorry it was a month between updates. I <3 you all a lot.

Title: Love Me Till the Sun Shines from "The Late Spike Spiegel Blues"
Summary: Spike practices Jeet Kun Do for the first time in months.
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Word Count: 737
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 for Julia bashing.
Pairing: Spike/Faye
A/N: This one is actually a bit longer than the other chapters. Hurrah! Also, many thanks to luckiemonky for the (albeit unconscious) title inspiration.
ETA: There was a mistake in the first line that made it... well, not make any sense. But I fixed it, both here and on ff.net. Hurrah!

( Love Me Till the Sun Shines )

Title: Dead Man Blues from "The Late Spike Spiegel Blues"
Summary: Shin comes to visit Spike.
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Word Count: 413
Rating/Warnings: PG.
Pairing: a little Spike/Faye
A/N: This chapter is really filler, but I didn't want to merge it with the next one. And I don't have to. Ha. Also, this entry's number is 11000, which I find fun.

( Dead Man Blues )

Ok, so an explanation of this random chapterfic that snuck up on me (cause it knew I had two challenges to write). In classic style, all of the chapters are named after songs. Cause I'm so very creative. [/sarcasm] The whole thing strikes me as really derivative, but I like it anyway. Basic premise is that Spike takes the bullet instead of Shin in The Real Folk Blues.

So, in case you've never heard one or any of these songs before, some lyrics.

Title Inspiration: The Late John Garfield Blues ( lyrics ).
Chapter 1: A Sunday Kind of Love ( lyrics ).
Chapter 2: No Turning Back ( lyrics ).
Chapter 3: Dream a Little Dream of Me ( lyrics ).
Chapter 4: Dead Man Blues ( lyrics ).
Chapter 5: What'll I Do ( lyrics ).
Chapter 6: Love Me Till the Sun Shines ( lyrics ).
Chapter 7: Right Place, Wrong Time ( lyrics ).
Chapter 8: It Could Be Sweet ( lyrics ).

I'll update this post when I write new chapters.

Title: "A Sunday Kind of Love" from The Late Spike Spiegel Blues
Summary: "And that was why he had to find Julia."
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Word Count: 308
Rating/Warnings: PG
Pairing: Spike/Julia
A/N: This was sort of dancing about my brain. A longer Spike/Faye fic is forthcoming. Probably. Also, changed my standard header, cause I'm both indecisive and OCD.
