Damage Report

Title: Fairytale of New York
Summary: for the bandomrarepair challenge; stuck in New York over the holidays, there's nowhere Joe can go to escape Pete's attempts at matchmaking.
Author: icedmaple
Betas: supercasio; likethepaint was involved in the early stages.
Rating: PG for language.
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: c. 11,300
Author's notes: I have a confession to make. I started this fic on NYE 2008/9, based on a prompt generator. I only wrote a couple of thousand words at the time and decided to continue it for this challenge. As a result, it's 2009 AU. Joe never moved to New York with Marie and the break hasn't begun, yet.

Title: Thnks fr th Knckrs
Summary: for the sosodirty kinkathon; prompt: panties.
Author: icedmaple
Betas: heyginger, untelling, likethepaint & shiny_starlight at various points; with special sizing, locale and awesomeness assistance from riotingofspring (even though most of it was cut). Thanks also to delustre for being available in my hour of need.
Rating: R
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: c. 12,000
Author's notes: Stretching the boundaries of my general style on this one; all IM typos are the boys' and the events at the first two shows are based on genuine events (see: thnksfrthknkrs). What happened afterward, is to the best of my knowledge entirely untrue.

This fic was just too long to be a single post, so I've divided it more or less in the middle - it's around 12,000 words in total.

Title: Capture the Phrases
Summary: For the slutrick prompt #1: "Patrick gets anonymous love/inspirational notes in the form of post it notes in miscellaneous places." No pairing specified.
Author: icedmaple
Betas: xdearlin, likethepaint, satsuma_grove & shiny_starlight.
Rating: PG-13 (mostly for Pete's innuendo)
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: just under 10,000.
Author's notes: We all know about the Note Wars, right? Not to worry – they've been inserted where they should have been. The jpegs are all genuine notes exchanged during the days when Joe, Patrick and Pete shared an apartment.

I also uploaded two tracks referred to in this fic, for your enjoyment:

| Seed – TAI | Son of Sam - Elliott Smith |

Disclaimer: Parts of this are clearly genuine... but not the parts we might like. Those are fake.

Title: Hedonism
Summary: "People started to filter away, glancing back with looks of disbelief at the mess and the men in the midst of it all."
Author: rosiedoes
Betas: shiny_starlight, shinko, likethepaint, and ashe_frost all did varying degrees of hand-holding for this fic. I can't thank them enough.
Rating: Pushing R. Possibly.
Pairing: Joe/Patrick, Pete/Patrick, implied Pete/Ashlee.
Words: c.27,300.
Author's notes: This is a fic set at the end of the European Spring Tour and heading into HCT, where it breaks off and becomes an AU timeline.

The title of this fic, and the quote, come from a track by Skunk Anansie. In a bizarre twist (this was not intentional at all), they have a track perfect for each of the boys in this fic's POV:

Secretly [Joe] | Hedonism [Patrick] | Brazen [Pete]

This is a LONG fic. Sit comfortably.


Disclaimer: I really hope this isn't even slightly real, for the sake of the people involved in it...

Prompt:
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
-Inigo Montoya [The Princess Bride]
NOTE: Don't go looking for this quote in the text. You won't find a literal interpretation.
