Title: Put the Atom Back Together
Author: peridium
Fandom: Watchmen
Word Count: ~1,500
Pairing: Jon Osterman/Adrian Veidt
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Yeah, not mine. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's.
Summary: In less than five minutes, Adrian is going to kiss him, and he’ll be surprised. In which Dr. Manhattan finds himself repeatedly drawn to the smartest man in the world and the third-to-last scene of the comic is fucked with.

( Ozymandias grasps his hand the first time they meet, shakes it with a firm grip that Jon, or maybe Dr. Manhattan, appreciates, and smiles. )

Title: Green As Weeds
Author: peridium
Fandom: Bandom (My Chemical Romance)
Word Count: ~4,600
Pairing: Shades of Frank/Gerard, brief mention of Bob/Mikey-ishness in the background
Rating: PG-13, once again almost solely for lots of use of the word "fuck"
Disclaimer: I don't know any of these people and I'm lying shamelessly about what they do in their free time.
Summary: Everyone knows that Gerard Way is an idealist. Gerard wants to save the world and the lives of every last one of his fans, and Gerard believes in love and happiness and rainbows and equality and lots of other bullshit like that. Gerard just really wants to take care of his fans, that lost-looking little ten-year-old boy in particular.
Notes: Written for brandixcyanide for mcr4u, at her prompt of: "anypairing kidfic. not mpreg and not fic when they are kids, but adoption or the like, yes." That accidentally turned into this, which isn't official adoption and verges on gen about Gerard the mama bear rather than pairingfic. I hope that's okay and I hope you like it! Thanks very much to soloecal for betaing.

Title: Sanctuaries
Author: peridium
Fandom: Bandom (Mindless Self Indulgence, My Chemical Romance)
Word Count: 1,019
Pairing: Gerard/Lyn-Z
Rating: PG-13 (just for lots of use of the word "fuck" and some other cursing)
Disclaimer: While these two are married in real life, this is one big filthy lie.
Summary: Gerard is maybe a little bit obsessed with the way Lindsey looks after she does a show, all glistening with sweat, long black hair plastered to and making patterns on her cheeks and forehead. A little slice-of-life Gerard-as-tour-husband bit of fluff.
Notes: For lessthangreat's birthday. ♥ Many thanks to stephanometra for the quick beta.

( Some shows are better than others, but he always finds something to fixate on, a trail of sweat down her jaw or ballpoint pen residue under her fingernails. )

Title: The Bottom Line
Author: peridium
Fandoms: Bandom (Panic At The Disco), High School Musical
Word Count: 823
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I don't own the fictional character and I am telling lies about the nonfictional one, believe me.
Summary: The Urie family moves to New Mexico. Luckily, Ryan Evans is around to save Brendon Urie from potential misery.
Notes: Written at rhombal's request for her birthday. ♥

( Brendon knew a kid named Ryan back in Vegas, but he doesn't think he'll have any trouble telling the difference between the two. )

Title: It Feels So Real
Author: peridium
Fandom: American Idol (Season 7)
Word Count: ~4,800
Pairing: David Cook/Michael Johns; David Archuleta with an unrequited crush on David Cook
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Trust me, I do not own any of these people. They belong to themselves.
Summary: David Archuleta can't help having a crush on David Cook; who could? And that means he really can't help his jealousy when it becomes obvious just how close Cook and a certain Michael Johns are. Basically, David Cook and Michael Johns and their process of falling in love through Archie's eyes.

( 'Honestly, just make the assumption that I'm talking about Cook unless I specify. He's my favourite David so far, anyway.' )
