Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

Title: Half Of My Heart
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Juliet, Miles, Sawyer (pre Sawyer/Juliet)
Words: 1330
Summary: “Is someone having an existential crisis?” Miles asks as he sits where Sawyer had sat last time they were here, wearing one of those hideous jumpsuits, and Juliet lets out a small breath of relief.
Spoilers: up until 5x08.
Disclaimer: nothing is mine. Really.
A/N: written for former queen ozmissage at the lostsquee luau. She wanted ladies, especially Juliet. I was brainstorming and Miles decided that he wanted a say, too, and this came up. Er, I hope it's to your liking? And sorry for the lateness. Title from John Mayer.

( The two weeks she gave him are almost over and she doesn’t know what to do. )

Oh dear WHAT HAVE I DONE FF WHAT HAVE I DONE. The luau is already making damage here.

: the perks of being a space pirate
: light NC17
: Charlie/Desmond, then ORGY. And when I say ORGY, I mean ORGY. In capital letters.
: 6500
: the Lost/Firefly fusion where Sawyer has a ship, Miles is his second-in-command, Desmond is the ship's priest, a bunch of other people are there, the key word on the ship is free love and Charlie is the musician Sawyer just hired. And where the hero of Canton is Sayid, but he hates that song.
: er, AU? For Lost none really, for Firefly general premises and some stuff but really, it's a fusion so no one from Firefly actually appears.
: I don't own anything. Joss Whedon, please forgive me for this. Darlton not so much.
: the gracious Queen toestastegood asked for 'the future' lostsquee luau. Today, I spent six hours in a library copying notes regarding Kant. I had the idea while doing that. Obviously it probably means I need my head checked, but still. I also wrote it while listening on repeat to the original Hero Of Canton song, and I probably shouldn't have. This is crack, sort of, so my only advice would be: don't take it too seriously. And I hope it fits the bill. ;) and since I'm here, using for au_abc, outerspace, and au_bingo, criminals. Oh dear what have I done. Also: all the planet names were used on Firefly and Wikipedia says it. I don't have the imagination for coming up with that kind of stuff.

( Our love for him now ain't hard to explain, the Hero Of Canton, the man they call Sayid. )

Okay, second-to-last of the ficlet reposting dumps I'll inflict on you. The first three are random het, the last two are SPN/Lost crossovers. Next is coming the Dean/Castiel in five hours or so and then I'll be done.

Lost het:

Cages
Jack/Juliet; mid S3 spoilers; 321 words; hard R; not mine.
This is not what you should be doing.
A/N: originally written for lenina20 for the five acts meme; the prompts were Stockholm syndrome, quick/rushed and angst. Second person POV. Sucky title sucks, but I have no imagination.
You’re losing your mind.

Keep Your Eyes On The Road And Your Hands Upon The Wheel
Kate/Sayid; S4 spoilers, then goes AU; 500 words: PG13; not mine.
It’s almost like a weird vacation. (Until they get caught, but who says that they will be? They’re both professionals, after all.)
A/N: originally written for the fic battle at lostsquee for the prompt road trip. This is, uh, weird. I guess. Title from The Doors.
The car is stolen.

Get It While You Can
Boone/Kate; S1 spoilers; 716 words: R; not mine.
He’s probably here just to prove to himself that he can be with someone who is everything Shannon isn’t and since there’s nothing else he wants, Kate will let him have it.
A/N: originally written for the fic battle at lostsquee for the prompt nothing good ever happens past midnight. Title from Janis Joplin.
They should know better, and they probably do, but it doesn’t stop them anyway.

--

Lost/SPN crossovers:

And You Could Smell The Whiskey Burning
Ellen/Sayid; S2 spoilers (SPN) + S4 spoilers (Lost); 940 words; R; not mine.
What stands out to her isn’t his clothing (too refined, too pricey, too new) and it isn’t his features either (dark skin, definitely Arab, foreign accent, a better grammar than most people Ellen usually talks to); what stands out, is that he orders MacClutcheon’s.
A/N: originally written for the fic battle at lostsquee for the prompt whiskey. Title from Steve Earle.
Ellen hasn’t seen someone looking so dead since Dean the day after he sold his soul, and who knows if this guy hasn’t sold his, too?

Sympathy For The Devil
Lucifer/Man In Black (-> Lucifer/War, implies also Jacob/MIB); 5x02 spoilers (SPN), general S5/S6 spoilers (Lost); 1280 words; hard R; not mine.
“I was waiting for you,” the real devil says as you finally stand in front of him again.
A/N: originally written for toestastegood for the five acts meme; the prompts were rough sex, holding hands and reunion. Title from the Rolling Stones.
You snort and try not to pay attention; after all, it’s just a vessel. And even if it has the face of the person who kept you there since Lucifer first fell, you can let a grudge go.

Title: Cages
Rating: hard R
Pairing: Jack/Juliet
Words: 321
Summary: This is not what you should be doing.
Spoilers: mid S3.
Disclaimer: Lost isn't mine, duh.
A/N: originally written for lenina20 for the five acts meme; the prompts were Stockholm syndrome, quick/rushed and angst. Second person POV. Sucky title sucks, but I have no imagination.

( You’re losing your mind. )

Title: Keep Your Eyes On The Road And Your Hands Upon The Wheel
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Kate/Sayid
Words: 500
Summary: It’s almost like a weird vacation. (Until they get caught, but who says that they will be? They’re both professionals, after all.)
Spoilers: goes AU from S4.
Disclaimer: Lost isn't mine, duh.
A/N: originally written for the fic battle at lostsquee for the prompt road trip. This is, uh, weird. I guess. Title from The Doors.

( The car is stolen. )

Title: Get It While You Can
Rating: R
Pairing: Boone/Kate
Words: 716
Summary: He’s probably here just to prove to himself that he can be with someone who is everything Shannon isn’t and since there’s nothing else he wants, Kate will let him have it.
Spoilers: for S1? It's set then.
Disclaimer: Lost isn't mine, duh.
A/N: originally written for for the fic battle at lostsquee, the prompt was nothing good ever happens past midnight. Er, well, Kate was missing in my write-Boone/everyone-quest. Title from Janis Joplin.

( They should know better, and they probably do, but it doesn’t stop them anyway. )

Errrm. *hides about the second one, but it was time I re-posted it*.

Title: Pretty Sights
Rating: R
Pairing: Shannon/Juliet
Words: 1927
Summary: “I’m glad I died in my own clothes. That jumpsuit? The more time I look at it the more I’d just want to take it off.”
Spoilers: until 5x15. The rest is speculation for the finale, but I'm sure it's not going to happen. But it was convenient.
Disclaimer: haaa, no, not mine.
A/N: for lenina20 who wanted ghost for the alphabet meme; using for au_abc, killed. Obviously, character death implied, but I swear it's as light as it goes. Sorry, but dead person/alive person was becoming too easy. ;)

( Now, I think you’d be a very pretty sight yourself, but with that thing? Jesus. I hope that you took it off with Sawyer. )

Title: Dreams
Rating: NC17
Pairing: Jack/Charlie/Sawyer
Words: 1197
Summary: The only reason Charlie isn't freaking out is that this has to be a dream.
Spoilers: as long as you know that Charlie used drugs, you're safe.
Disclaimer: haaa, no, not mine.
A/N: this originally was for lostsquee's fic battle ages ago for the prompt tentacle sex. But it's all toestastegood's fault. ;) *coughcough* using for au_abc, mutants. And yeah, you read tentacle sex and yes, it's what it is.

( No doubt that, for a dream, this feels indeed real. )

Title: Hunger Strike
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jack/Juliet
Words: 329
Summary: Jack’s lips are thin and forceful upon hers, the opposite of that first time which was also the last until a minute ago; he kisses her like he’s starving for it and she can’t not meet it, not when she has hoped for this for… three or thirty years. Doesn’t matter.
Spoilers: for 5x13, Some Like It Hoth.
Disclaimer: not mine. I wish. I wish..
A/N: for prettybutt who wanted kiss. Title blatantly stolen from Temple Of The Dog.

( She wants for him to suffer because he left and allowed her to fall for someone else when she never had the chance to be with him before moving on. )

Title: The Week Before Moving Day
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jack/Juliet
Words: 339
Summary: She gives a good tip to both the workers who brought the bed up to the sixth floor; when it’s set, even if bare of everything except the mattress, she looks at it fondly, as it stands alone in what will be their bedroom in a short while.
Spoilers: meh, this is a total AU where they were all rescued in S3. Or something. Just pretend S4/5/the 3 finale never happened.
Disclaimer: not mine, this would happen.
A/N: for coffeecrisp7, who wanted empty and I promptly used an angst prompt for shameless romance. But I couldn't do angst anymore.

( Jack is at work when the bed arrives; she takes the afternoon off to be there. )

Title: Eighteen-Hour Drive
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jack/Juliet
Words: 505
Summary: I wanted to ask you to take the rest of the day off and go with me to Seattle.
Spoilers: argh. This implies that Nirvana!Jack happened but that S5 never happened. Just let's pretend they rescued them normally and go as AU as possible.
Disclaimer: not mine, this would have happened already-
A/N: for jate92, who wanted notice. This is definitely not what you were expecting probably. *hides* By the way, if the reference was obscure, Sub Pop is was Nirvana's first record company (and well, actually the first record company of every serious grunge group I guess, or almost).

( “Fine. Who are you and what have you done with Jack Shephard?” )

Other bunch for the alphabet meme. I swear I'll post something else, too. Anyway still nine letters if someone wants to grab a late prompt.

Title: Oxycontin Blues
Rating: PG13 because it's Nirvana!Jack
Characters: Jack
Words: 443
Summary: Jack's idea of a perfect evening, when it comes into practice, is usually spent on his mattress in his living room, with a bottle of cheap brandy on his right side, a flacon of Oxycontin on his left and Kurt Cobain for company.
Spoilers: set ideally a bit before the S3 finale flashforward.
Disclaimer: Lost is indeed not mine. There would have been more O6!Jack in his downward spiral if it was.
A/N: for emiliglia who wanted Jack and oxycontin. Title stolen from Steve Earle but the music within is all Nirvana references because I love my Nirvana!Jack so.

( Jack doesn’t know when his perfect evening became an equation made of the fragile balance of five or so elements. )

Title: Devils And Dust
Rating: PG I guess
Characters: Sayid
Words: 610
Summary: Sayid never felt more aware of every wrong choice he made his whole life; the time he spent trying to be a decent person or a good man or at least not someone who harms innocent people looks like a pitiful loss of time.
Spoilers: for 5x10, He's Our You.
Disclaimer: God, no, not mine. I'd be richer.
A/N: for zelda_zee who wanted Sayid and innocence. Title stolen from a Springsteen song which probably has its influence.

( He wonders what he would see into his eyes if he had a mirror. )

Title: Lessons
Rating: PG
Characters: Juliet
Words: 661
Summary: See, the thing is that Juliet is nobody’s fool when it comes to other people trying either to make a fool out of her or fool her into doing something. Or at least, after being burned more than once, she doesn't think she be tricked anymore.
Spoilers: until 3x05.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine, what news.
A/N: for missy_useless who wanted Juliet and fool. This is probably weird, but it wanted to be like this. Terrible title but it happens when I don't find any song to steal it from.

( Everything she does since she sets foot in the room where they keep Shephard with a tray in her hands is pretending because she’s going along with Ben’s plan, but she knows better. )

Title: You'll Be A Lover In My Bed And A Gun To My Head
Rating: argh, something like hard PG13?
Pairing: Jack/Juliet
Words: 3176
Summary: Juliet becomes metaphorically a lover in his bed and literally a gun to his head. She’s a gun to his head because he cares and she knows and they all know and so much for trying to stay detached and clear of weak points. And she’s a lover in his bed but isn’t at the same time because sure as hell they never even kissed and if he thinks about Kate it still hurts all over.
Spoilers: goes AU for the last episode but I'd be safe to say general S5 until now. Goes AU for 5x08.
Warning: features a lot of Nirvana!Jack.
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine. There wouldn't be a quadrangle.
A/N: jate92 my dearest, this be your belated birthday fic. I don't know if it fills the denial fic request 100% but I did try. On general notes: this goes AU from LaFleur in the sense that the final scene never happened. I couldn't deal with canon directly. Also, this was heavily inspired by the Smashing Pumpkins' Ava Adore, from which I also stole the title (but I think it isn't half as morbid). Okay, I'm stopping the blathering.
A/N 2: if as for last time I gave Jack a definite age someone has something to say, I'll gracefully ignore it.

( Fun, that remembering Juliet is pretty much the only thing that will really feel painful for him these days. )

Title: Blame It on a Simple Twist of Fate
Rating: Hard R bordering on light NC17 I guess
Pairing/Characters: Boone/Juliet (yes, you read right), some Sawyer
Word counting: around 9000
Disclaimer: Lost is so definitely not mine. Look at the pairing. I mean, look at the pairing.
Spoilers: heavy for S5 including 5x06, even if it's completely AU from the beginning, in the sense that here Boone survived the accident.
Summary: She had needed someone to make her feel special and not second-best, without any other purpose behind it; he had been that someone realizing it before she did herself. He needs someone to put him there once and he probably doesn’t think he’s worth the effort; well, fine. She can do it.
A/N: my dearest lenina20, this be the infamous birthday fic. Yes, I did go and write it. Yes, it's all your fault therefore all yours, I wash my hands of the responsibility for the pairing *cough* ♥. Title shamelessly stolen from a Bob Dylan song which doesn't have a thing to do with this whole thing. Endless thanks to halfdutch for the great betaing, it did indeed save my life here. ;) Also using for un_love_you #29, writer's choice, thank you.

( “Well, you and the metro make quite the pair.” )

So, do you remember the last time yours truly decided to take advantage of the fact they sometimes use opera as a soundtrack in Lost? Well, it happened again and I didn't even use the actual piece in the show because it was too depressing. Sue me. Except that last time it was something I was way more familiar with but hey, after all La Traviata is the only opera that makes me cry. Figure it out. And I still don't know what to think of this one, but it's been sitting there for three days and I figured I should just post it.

Title: Torment And Delight of My Heart
Characters/Pairing: Juliet, Jack/Juliet, some Goodwin/Juliet references
Rating: PG13 I guess?
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine, La Traviata belongs to Verdi's nephews I guess. Surely not mine anyway.
Word count: around 4000
Spoilers: until the S4 finale? Deliberately ignores any spoiler around from then, including stuff we know for certain.
Summary: Looking at Goodwin for a second as he passes in front of her house, heading to his, while Juliet is trying to find the exact balance in mixing the ingredients for the muffins she’s about to bake, is all it takes to make her realize how much this place has changed her.
A/N: for lenina20 as the first of my Christmas things (I just wish I could have written you something I actually knew what to think of) and using also for lostfichallenge #84, a different point of view (hey, I wrote Juliet once or something). Blame half of this on whoever chooses the soundtrack who had her listening to La Traviata with Goodwin in One of Us. All the italics (plus the title) are from the opera. And no, it doesn't end like that, I am already masochistic enough.

( Then Jack Shephard falls from a plane crash into her life and everything changes. )
