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

Title: Only A Pawn In His Game
Characters/Pairings: Esau, Jacob/Richard, implied past Esau/Jacob
Word Count: 1764
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Esau being a bastard maybe?
Original Fic: Yours To Take by bittersweet325
A/N: I hadn't read the fic prior to receiving my assignment, but I absolutely loved it and since Jacob/Richard interests me a lot I had to go for this one. ;) I was tempted to go for Richard's POV but then Esau proved himself surprisingly fun to write and it worked better from his POV anyway, so I went for him. (Also, I hope you don't mind the small bit I added in the end which wasn't in the original. I couldn't resist.) No spoilers for S5 apart from what was in the original. Title from Bob Dylan.
Summary: Esau is a lot of things, among which manipulative and as evil as Jacob himself can get, but he’s definitely not stupid and he knows Jacob like the back of his hand if not better. He would never think that Jacob would give him a free gift, and so he doesn’t assume that Jacob accepts his small offer consisting in his human pet’s immortality as a random act of kindness, either.

( He never thinks for a second that Jacob will buy it. )

Alright, I'm claiming two of the three fics I wrote for challenges this last month. Both links bring to the comms because I'm lazy like that and I like comments in the same place. ;) Sorry for the spamming, I also have another thing to post and I'll probably have another couple in the next two/three days.

Title: A Touch Of Infinity [Lost/Heroes crossover]
Fandoms: Heroes/Lost
Pairings: Adam/Jacob/Richard, Adam/Richard, Richard/Jacob, Adam/Jacob and all combinations thereof.
Rating: R to stay on the very safe side
Wordcount: 10,100
Spoilers: through all of S5 for Lost (especially 5x16/17), general S2 spoilers for Heroes (well, just really Adam’s backstory)
Summary: Adam is on the Black Rock when it crashes on the island in 1867. Richard is, too.
Warnings: er, is threeway between immortal people a warning? Apart from that, I don’t really think there’s anything triggering.
Disclaimer: Heroes and Lost belong to their respective creators. The title is not too subtly stolen from a short stories collection of Harlan Ellison’s so that’s not mine either.
A/N: written for aurilly at xover_exchange; beta-ed by the awesome siluria and catoasapun who were just the best ever. And, uh, I have to say that I had the time of my life writing this thing. Even if it's sort of seriously not my usual thing. My prompts were immortality and Adam/Jacob, Adam/Richard with an angsty triangle being acceptable. Which I totally couldn't not do.

Title: And The Highway Is My Home
Pairing or Characters: Kevin/Sawyer; Kate, Edward Mars and Jacob also appear.
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 5145
Warnings: completely and utterly non-linear narration; spoilers up until The Incident.
Summary: Sawyer nods and swallows, trying to block out the fact that being stuck on the run from the Marshal he killed one time that didn’t happen, with Freckles’ former husband, who’s there because he tried to bail her out and then he bailed Sawyer out, isn’t funny at all. It actually sounds like a bad soap opera, but he won’t go dwelling on that.
A/N: written for toestastegood for Lost Hohoho at lostsquee; my prompts were Sawyer/Kevin on the run plus bonus hand-holding. Much thanks to siluria for the great (and fast) beta-ing and suggestions. <33 and now that I don't have to keep my identity secret and risk giving myself out because I steal titles from songs, I can say that the title is stolen from Merle Haggard. ;)

Title: Let Time Stand Still
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Jacob/Richard
Words: 1138
Spoilers: heavy for the season five finale. Probably also in the summary.
Summary: After all, it's all about the island; it's about who gets to stay and who has to leave because it's too big for the two of them. For Richard, well, for Richard it's all about who stands in the end. In one case, things go on, in the other, not so much. After all, his destiny became Jacob's the day he woke on a beach after a shipwreck; there's no backing out now, and he doesn't even want to.
Disclaimer: nope, Lost isn't mine. NEWS!
A/N: for the most lovely Queen emiliglia at lostsquee who wanted S6 speculation. Er. I really wish I could have given you some nice reset scenario which I hadn't already written, but it didn't want to happen and, er, considering that what interested me most about Lost S5 were those two and it happened. I hope you like it! ♥ Using for 10_shakespeare, 'I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.' Title stolen from a random Jeff Buckley song which doesn't have a thing to do with this otherwise.

( Richard tries not to hurry; that wouldn't really do. Not now. )
