Title: Cake
Author: Harper Kingsley
Genre: contemporary fiction
Character: Dahlia Quinzant

They say that the first step to solving a problem is to acknowledge it. Dahl wished her problem wasn’t that she was fat, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. Problems were what they were.

After a day at work where she self-consciously felt as if everyone was looking at her–judging her–she came home to begin doing some online research. She wanted to know the best way that she could lose weight and not completely blow her monthly budget.

Updates and changes to come.

CAKE 01-

One day, Dahl looked in the mirror and hated what she saw. The person looking back at her did not look like her, the person she was in her head.

She didn’t know when it had happened, but at some point she had stopped taking care of herself. She’d ceased grooming unless she was going somewhere, and her eyebrows had grown bushy and out of control. She could see the shadow of a mustache on her upper lip and there were even hairs bristling from her chin.

But what really got her attention was that somehow she had become fat. Not “pleasantly plump” as she’d always called herself, but unhealthily overweight. She didn’t know how she could have missed it happening, but there it was.

Rereading some old stuff. I really do have a fondness for this story. There may be some Marty/Jim shorts in the future.

Title: Centrifical
Author: Sol Crafter
Pairing: Marty Sheer/Jim Sheppard
Genre: mm, contemporary, rockstar, movie star
Rating: mature

Summary: Marty is one of the stars of a cheesy sci-fi show. Jim is a rock superstar. They’ve been friends forever, though now it’s turned to something more.

CHAPTER ONE

He was sitting on a bench with a paperback spread open on his lap, the spine strained to breaking. He’d come to the park with the idea that he was finally going to finish reading his mystery novel. Except the sun was warm on his skin and he was distracted by the sounds of distant laughter and the elusive scent of barbecue.

Finally he gave up even the pretense and folded the book closed, shoving it into the pocket of his navy blue hoodie. He just sat with his head tipped back and enjoyed the light on his closed eyelids and the way fingers of breeze stroked through his hair.

Title: Faizel II
Author: Harper Kingsley
World: Faizel
Characters: Faizel/Charlemagne, Ewing, Isadore, Ives, Jenny Deacon
Genre: vampires, mm, slash
Rating: mature
Summary: Picks up where Faizel left off. Faizel is fitting into his new world like a shark with lasers on its head. There’s blood in the water. He’s closing in.

CHAPTER ONE

Sometimes Ewing wondered if they had invited a devil into their midst. Because there wasn’t a doubt in his mind that Charlemagne was possessed. And the devil was named Faizel. Charlemagne’s darling love. The mysterious vampire that had appeared from nowhere to steal Charlemagne’s heart and rearrange the natural order of the world.

Ewing personally thought of Faizel as a booty call gone wrong, though he would never say it aloud. He valued his life too much.

Charlemagne wanted to keep Faizel secret, and Ewing was willing to go along with it. Because honestly, how could he even explain someone like Faizel? The guy scared the ever living fuck out of him, and that was no lie.

I make wishes on the stars all the time. It doesn't seem like a waste to me. Because in the forming of a wish--an idea--a concept of what can be is created. And until a wish is formulated, it's nothing but stardust and fantasy.
