Torquere is doing a blitz of short stories especially for Halloween. Mine is called Chasing Fear. Anyone who can guess which universe it's set in gets a virtual cookie. :)



Emilio loves Martin with everything he has, but he's still scared to go out and be openly gay, especially with the way his family reacted to the news. Martin just wants to go out and have a good time, so he pushes Emilio's limits to the breaking point. Emilio figures having a Greenman for a lover has its dangers, especially when it comes to going on a date in the great outdoors. Can he and Martin learn to see eye to eye?

Title: Crawling Toward the Light
Author: AngiePen
Original story: Manipulation by v_angelique
Pairing: David Wenham/Karl Urban, Karl Urban/Sean Bean
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After what Sean did, David is a shaking wreck. He needs Karl but Karl's out playing avenging hero instead of taking care of his boyfriend, so David has to work through it all on his own.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone you recognize. I know nothing about their social lives or sexual activities, more's the pity. This is fiction, period. It is done as a labor of love and I make no money from it.
Notes: Written for the 2007 lotrips_remix Fest. Unfortunately I couldn't quite manage a perfectly stand-alone story. This'll have a lot more impact if you've read Victoria Angelique's original first.



"Karl!"

David's voice was lost in the angry stomping and slamming and then Karl was gone and the house was empty.

Emptier than usual because David himself felt hollow inside, as though there were less of him and he took up less space in the universe -- weighed less, mattered less, was less. Just a hollow skin of a man in an empty house filled only with the echoes of furious shouting and needy pleading.

Title: Pick-Up Lines
Author: AngiePen
Fandom: Celebrity RPS
Pairing: Viggo/Orlando
Rating: PG
Summary: Orlando's wondering how a Viggo pick-up line would compare with others he's gotten, to say nothing of whether Viggo will ever get around to using one on him.

Notes: Written during the Las Vegas Slashy Retreat in August '07. Thanks to lauralynn22 for birthing this bunny by mentioning a funny line to a song I'd never heard before. :)



Orlando had a theory about men. He'd been picked up enough times that he'd experienced plenty of pick-up lines and had figured out that you could tell pretty much everything you needed to know about a potential shagging buddy, and get a pretty decent idea about someone you might be thinking of hooking up with for a while, based on the line they used to try to pick you up.

Title: Hospitality
Author: AngiePen
Fandom: Celebrity RPS
Pairing: Nathan Fillion/Adam Baldwin

Notes: Written for oxoniensis's Porn Battle, fourth round.



Adam had a great mouth on him and could probably suck a baseball through the proverbial garden hose, but Nathan had no reason to end this too soon so he was fighting it, deliberately not giving in to the urge to just let go and come. Nathan had pretty good self-control so this wasn't a huge problem and actually Adam was starting to glare at him some, which just made Nathan grin and feel like he could hold out for days.

By the time Sean actually walked out of the courthouse, after the hugs and congratulations and papers to sign and copies to save and after finally getting away from a couple of reporter blokes who just wouldn't go away until Sean had stammered out a few words that he couldn't even remember just then -- after all that when he finally walked out with his mum on one arm and Katie on the other, Tommy being dragged along by his wife, he was almost surprised to see that the sky was still blue and the sun still shone down from the same angle it always had and the traffic going by on the street looked perfectly normal.

Sean was on his way back to the drawing room, having declined the emergency operator's "suggestion" that he stay on the line when he heard Orlando shouting. He made sure she knew where to send the ambulance, then hung up and jogged back down the hall just in time for Orlando to come charging out of the drawing room and run smack into him.

Orlando'd practically cracked Sean's knuckles with the force of his grip, then he immediately let go and jumped up to his feet. He just stood there, quivering with tension, his arms wrapped around his middle and his gaze darting from door to window to window and back to door. The room was at the side of the house and Sean knew there'd be no view of the drive from there so his strongest impression was that the lad was looking for an escape hole.

Once they were alone, Orlando went from stiff with anger to an exhausted-looking slump, as though he'd expended all his energy arguing with his cousin and maintaining his in-control face and had finally realized he was at the bottom of his tank. He turned and leaned against Sean with a heavy thud. Sean had his arms around him and was guiding him back toward the sofa without conscious thought.

He was feeling a mite wrung out too, truth to tell. They'd both been under a hellish stress for the last couple of days -- and bugger all if it didn't feel like a couple of weeks -- and although they weren't out of it yet, not hardly, they were finally at a point where they'd nothing that needed doing, nothing to look out for, no gangsters with guns hiding behind the furniture nor creeping up just outside the windows. They were fed and safe and sitting on a chunk of empty time and the first instinct Sean had was to take a nap because he felt pretty much like Orlando looked.

Orlando seemed to have another instinct, though, because moments after Sean had them settled back on the sofa he found himself entwined in a tangle of once-more-tense limbs and with a shaking young man all but in his lap.

It was nearly three hours later when they pulled up before a wrought iron gate leading into what appeared to be a nice little estate just outside Altonscroft, from what Sean could see through the shrubberies planted alongside the iron fence. He still wasn't completely sure this was a good idea but he'd said he'd go along with it and he would. He'd keep an eye on this Cousin William, too, and be ready to haul Orlando out of there in a blink if necessary and flatten anyone who tried to get in their way.

Sean rolled down the window and punched the green button on the intercom. A few moments later a tinny male voice said, "May I help you?"

Orlando crawled half over Sean's lap and yelled, "Wills! It's Orlando! Let us in!"

Sean glanced up when Orlando got back into the car but most of his attention was on his mobile and the conversation he was having with his da.

"--so it's gone completely arse-up. I took the lad and buggered out and when Merriwether finds out he's going t'be chapped but good."

There was a pause and then Sean's da asked, "So, what are you going to do now, then?" He didn't tell Sean off for being stupid or say "I told you so," despite having advised against Sean's getting involved with Merriwether in any way.

Sean woke up around dawn to the sound of a couple of birds shrieking at each other outside the bedroom window. The light in the room was dim and hazy, as though it were clouded over outside or even foggy. His right half was just about chilly enough to bear that out, but his left side was toasty to the point of sweating.

He turned his head and squinted to the left. Orlando's face was burrowed into his pillow with only the dark, messy waves of his hair showing. There was barely a handspan of space between them, a closed-off bubble of warm air under the covers where their shared body heat had collected.

An Island in the South Pacific, 1946

Viggo woke up afterwards with some really amazing memories of the best sex he'd ever had. He'd never blacked out before but was more than happy to pay that price in exchange for that truly mind-blowing climax.

And speaking of mind-blowing, they'd found it! He and Sean had both been searching for the hidden temple of Kalanu Malee for years, running into each other on this or that island, in various libraries and markets and villages. Once, they'd found themselves practically eyeball-to-eyeball on a steamship out of San Francisco with nearly identical cargos to outfit expeditions into the Andes in search of the same Incan ceremonial center and the same gem-encrusted skull. After some weeks at sea they'd agreed to hunt for them together, although somehow both had neglected to mention same in either written reports or the occasional telegraph back home. They'd found the ceremonial center but not the skull, which at that point in their working relationship had probably been just as well.

The dark, forty-ish man who pushed his way in as soon as Sean had opened the door was actually someone Sean recognized. His name was Donny and he was one of Merriwether's low-level lieutenants. He was about Sean's height and husky, but with a gut to him and a round, soft face that came from a good decade or more of having other boys to do his leg-breaking for him.

He stood as though he intended to take over the space, his eyes sweeping the room. He smirked at Sean and in a too-loud voice said, "Hey there, Sh--"

Sean body-slammed him into the wall, one hand clamped over the idiot's mouth. Blokes like this, they understood only two things, fear and power, and he'd given Sean the perfect opening to prove he was a player in this game and not just another chip.

Sean snapped his phone shut and restrained himself from putting a fist through the wall.

He'd managed to persuade Merriwether that a lock of hair and a piece of jewelry would do for a first threat but when the bastard had hung up on him he'd been left wondering whether it'd actually been his persuasion that'd done the trick or whether Merriwether'd been playing Sean for some reason of his own.

The Bloom kid was still sleeping a lot, curled up in his chair with one wrist dangling from the pipe. Sean kept waking him up every two or three hours, made sure he was reasonably lucid and fed him more aspirin if he seemed to be in pain. By dinner time the lad was feeling hungry again, which Sean took as a good sign. Likely it was the hangover wearing off, leaving just the concussion.

He still needed steadying as well as guiding on trips to the loo and Sean figured that'd probably last a few days yet; the one time in a brawl he'd gotten hit in the head hard enough to go to a doctor he'd been dizzy on and off for nearly a week. The doctor hadn't wanted to keep him in hospital, though -- he'd just prescribed some pills to help with the dizziness some. Bloom wasn't doing a whole lot of walking and whenever he did, Sean was right there to hold him up, so he figured -- was hoping really hard, truth to tell -- that just riding it out without any actual medical attention wouldn't hurt the lad any.

Sean hadn't planned on sitting up all night to nursemaid a kid who'd had his head rattled. He might be concussed, though, and he'd probably been drinking before the fucking in the alley and Sean remembered something about alcohol being a bad mix with concussions. It depended how bad it was, of course; he'd had his own head thumped a few times in his day and he'd come out none the worse for it, but for whatever reason the Bloom lad gave the impression of being more fragile than Sean himself or any of his mates.
