Summary
While thinking about the next story in the Phoenix 'verse (yes, that seems to be happening), this little plotbunny tackled me and wouldn't go away until I set it free. It doesn't fit in with the next story, so here you go.
An in-between thing wherein Harry is sad, Teddy is very upset, and Hermione and Ron are just worried and confused. Good thing they all have a great dad who can make it all better.

Summary
Title from the song of the same name by Chris LeDoux, because it made this happen. I had this part stuck in my head two days before I gave up and started writing.
'I reckon it's just bad fate, I was born a hundred years too late,
And they say boy if you want to survive you'd better change.
But as long as sagebrush grows, and that old Powder River flows,
I'll be a cowboy till my dyin' day.I'm just a cowboy, a dirt and sweat cowboy,
Livin' on beef steak and beans.
I ain't too hard to please, but Mister you better believe,
I ain't never had no use for farm machines.'Series

Summary
So, I was watching 'Hondo' the other night and fell asleep, and I had this dream about Vin and Chris and a rodeo bronc named after the Apache chief in the movie, Victorio. The bunny stayed with me when I woke up, and this happened.
Once upon a time, I was writing a long Magnificent Seven modern-day rodeo AU. This fits in as a prequel to that story, which I just may start poking at again, but it stands alone just fine, too.

Summary
So, I was rereading the Potter books for the first time since 'Deathly Hallows' was still new, and as I finished reading the final battle scene I found myself thinking 'what if...?' As anyone who knows me could tell you, that's dangerous for my sanity. Many an epic-length story has snuck up on me in just such a way and quietly eaten my brain, stealing days or weeks, even months from me to write the story so that I can find out what happened.
Yes, it happened again.
What if... Fred didn't die and Molly killed Bellatrix after she saw her kill Ginny? Such small changes, but it's the little things that can make a huge difference in an alternate universe story.
I wanted to know, and this is what happened.

Summary
I heard this song, and it started me thinking about Danny and Steve and Grace, and what happened after 'Open All Night'.
Inspired by these lines in particular:
Run like it's a getaway,
Say those things that you shouldn't say.
Think about it, wouldn't that be cool,
If love's the only rule?Series

Summary
Charles loves the sea like he loves breathing.
"I must down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking."

Summary
Sometimes Flint really wishes he could just quietly disappear, and lucky for him he has someone to help with that.
In my head this is part of the 'Here There Be Dragons' 'verse, but it could easily stand alone.

Summary
This is all Warsawmouse's fault, honestly. I nearly left it as comment fic, it's so short, but I decided to post here instead.
Title from the old sailor's saying, "Red skies at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." It has almost nothing to do with the ficlet, of course, but it's what I came up with when I needed to call this something. lol

Summary
Brian is pretty sure his life just can't get any better. He and Dom spend every day together doing what they love surrounded by family and they seldom even think about the past anymore until it comes back to haunt them.
Title from the Sister Hazel song, 'Danger Is Real', particularly this part:
'Life's a breath that we steal,
Beautiful battlefield.
Love is a fire in a storm,
It can burn, it can warm.If your heart has a dream, don't bury it,
'Cause the best things in life are the scariest.
Girls and boys,
Danger is real, but fear is a choice.'Series

Summary
Pairings: Tej/Brian, pre Tej/Suki, pre Rome/Brian, unrequited Dom/Brian
Warnings: emotional trauma, mention of past non-con, hurt/comfort, explicit m/m sex
Summary: Inspired by the song 'Never Gonna Let You Down' by Colbie Caillat, particularly this part:
Low...
When you're feeling low and you just don't know where to run to.
Broke…
If your heart's been broke, and you feel like you're all alone.
If you need something to believe in,
If you're looking for a light to guide you home,
Just look inside, your light's shining brighter than you know.
And you should know...I'm never gonna let you down,
I'm always gonna build you up.
And when you're feeling lost,
I will always find you love.
I'm never gonna walk away,
I'm always gonna have your back,
And if nothing else you can always count on that.
When you need me I promise I will never let you down.When Brian got to Miami, he seemed so happy that Tej didn't quite believe he was broken like Rick had said, not until he saw it for himself.

Summary
Warnings: language, explicit m/m sex, emotional baggage
Pairings: Dom/Brian, Rome/Letty, background Tej/Suki and Vince/Mia, and past Rome/Brian and Brian/Tej
Summary: Still inspired by the song 'Incomplete', but this particular part gets its title from a song by Pink that got stuck in my head just when I thought my 'Incomplete' was actually complete.
'The Truth About Love' might as well be written for this 'verse's Letty.
The truth about love is it's blood, and it's guts.
Purebreds and mutts,
Sandwiches without the crust.
It takes your breath, cause it leaves a scar,
But those untouched never got, never got very far.
It's rage and it's hate,
And a sick twist of fate,
And that's the truth about love.Dom knew when he tried to call Letty he was probably walking into a fight. It wasn't the first one, and he was pretty sure it wouldn't be the last. Family was worth fighting for.

Summary
Pairings: Dom/Brian, Rome/Brian, and past Brian/Tej
Summary: Still inspired by the song 'Incomplete', particularly this part:
I try, to go on like I never knew you.
I'm awake, but my world is half asleep.
I pray, for this heart to be unbroken,
But without you all I'm going to be is, incomplete.When Dom ran in the Supra he thought Brian would be able to talk himself out of trouble, and he hated himself for a long time after Mia finally told him Brian went to Chino for him. Going back wouldn't help anyone at that point so he tried to do what he had always done, taking care of his team and living for the ten second stretches where he still felt truly alive.

Summary: Inspired by the song 'Incomplete', particularly this part:
Voices, tell me, I should carry on.

Baby, my baby, it's written on your face.
You still, wonder, if we made a big mistake.Going to Miami for Tej was the smartest thing Brian ever did, it was paradise for a street racer like him, but like everything else in his life it didn't stay paradise for long, not after Bilkins found him. Then he had to deal with his past while trying to survive going under again.

Pairings: Brian/Tej. Also mentions of past Rome/Brian and unrequited Dom/Brian.
Summary: Inspired by the song 'Incomplete', particularly this part:
Empty, spaces, fill me up with holes.
Distant, faces, with no place left to go.
Without you, within me, I can't find no rest.
Where I'm, going, is anybody's guess.After Brian handed Dom his keys and got himself arrested, he knew life would never be the same again. He just didn't know how bad it could really get before it got better.
