no more dreaming like a girl so in love

Title: Let Your Dreams Be Dreams
Characters: Quentin Kinley and David Moore
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1300
Notes: I like David. And there's a couple of things I wrote about David back in 2007 that I might rewrite to include in the timeline, even though he's pretty peripheral. Also, this takes place the same night as Harmonizing. Tyler Jordan and Max were at Preston's house, Quentin and David are at the boys' apartment.


Timeline: July 2015

( weird little brain glitches, and getting Quentin chatty because he's high )

Title: Sing Me to Sleep
Characters: Quentin Kinley, Tyler Jordan Graham, and David Moore
Rating: PG
Word count: 1455
Notes: So I started writing this story in 2007 and stumbled across the first like... 400 words in a notebook and decided I had to finish it. It's cute.

Timeline: August 2014

( you listen to it twice cause the DJ is asleep on the radio )

Title: Functionally Unhealthy
Characters: Quentin Kinley and Tyler Jordan Graham
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1843
Notes: So... these two are actually where the whole Kinley and Graham clans began. With two messed up young men and a whole lot of alcohol and some very poorly-thought-out plans which didn't end as disastrously as any reasonable person would have expected them to. I have some backstory for them I have to sort through that will get posted later. For now... here's a sort of explanation of how and why they're as messed up as they are (and are trying to be less).

Timeline: vague but before June 2014

Title: Painkillers
Characters: Ambrose Parker and Dewey Ceinion (yes, in that order)
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2150
Notes: Now I'm really just being self-indulgent playing with these two. For the first time, something in Parker's POV and not Dewey's! Well, third person POV still, but. Parker. I spent so much time tonight desperately trying to find any shred of his backstory I could and came up woefully short. Only one person in the world knows exactly what happened in Boston, and she might not even remember... and I don't have the balls to say "hey, remember these guys? yeah, I still write about them, could I have Parker's character sheet please?"

( there is a reason Parker doesn't let people choose their own ringtones. in Dewey's case, the reason is because he's obnoxious, and that didn't stop him from doing it anyways. )

Title: Tripping
Character: Doug Walker
Rating: PG-13 for drug use and a little bit of language.
Word count: 2039
Notes: For itsproductivity, doubling up on prompts because I'm a cheater. January 7 and January 10. I did a little research for this one, and this is definitely an explanation of why Doug made some of the life choices he did. xD


Once, when no one was looking, Doug walked away from a family reunion, hearing something just on the edge of audible. He was eleven years old, and his cousins were either very much older-- fifteen and far too mature to want to talk to a kid like Doug-- or very much younger-- three and four year olds chasing each other around under the watchful eyes of aunts and mothers; with nothing else to do, and the echo of what might have been fairy music teasing his ears, he wandered away from his grandfather's farmhouse and followed the drums and the high, piercing voices through fields of corn higher than his head.
