Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2178
Prompt: Spank (T13; P48)
Summary: Guy thought he wanted a cruel mistress. Tora doesn't have a cruel bone in her body, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what domination is.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: I've been trying to write domme!Tora for a while, mostly thanks to
doctorv, but it just didn't all come together until I read -- you guessed it -- Doc's good-girl domme Tora in Whipped. So now you know who to blame for this. Twice over.

Summary: Uncle Hal volunteers to take Guy's kids trick-or-treating, but Rocky has to get over his newest phobia, first.

Author's Notes/Warnings: Why is Rocky the only person in the universe smart enough to be disturbed by this?

Summary: A monster catches Guy. Guy catches a monster. Don't let go.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: This has existed, in nebulous form, in my head for about a year now. It never actually started to come together, though, until the Gardnerspawn started picking at my brain, and what finally made it click was sitting in front of my monitor today playing Dead Space for eight solid hours.

Prompt: Trust (T11; P05)
Continuity: Superbuddies
Summary: The Superbuddies have disappeared yet again, and there's not much else for Max and Sue to do but pass the time until the team gets back.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: This was originally going to be about how Sue deals with the stress of being the wife of a guy who gets himself into crazy life-threatening situations all the time, but somehow it ended up becoming more of a fluffy Max/Sue instead. Weird. Also, I think I must put Max's name in the title of every story I write that features him. Because he would want it that way.

Prompt: Got your back (T07; P33)
Summary: Guy and Hal go intergalactic barhopping. Mayhem ensues.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: I don't like using the prompt as the story title, but really, nothing else describes it better. And why is it I can so vividly imagine Kyle tied up with business back on Oa, fretting until Guy and Hal get back home safely?
( Oh yeah? )
So apparently I've finally reached the age where birthdays stop being cool. I mean, I knew it was coming eventually, but it's still depressing now that it's actually happened. The only people who even remembered were Chris and my mom -- granted, I don't have a lot of people that I mingle with IRL, but there are three other people living in my house right now who couldn't be bothered to even say hello today, much less happy birthday.
So I sat here this afternoon cheering myself up with fuzzy Guy stories. GLC comes out tomorrow, and if Guy says yes when Tora proposes (and it ends up being for real and not a Star Sapphire plot), I will gladly consider that just about the best birthday present ever.

Prompt: Save me from myself... (T14; P09)
Continuity: The future or something.
Summary: Peppermint Baby wasn't supposed to happen. But he happened anyway, and Guy is just barely hanging on.
Disclaimer: DC owns them..
Author's Notes/Warnings: If you're really interested in the thought process behind this, check out my essay on the topic. And yes, I know I've said before that Guy should be surrounded by girls, but I shouldn't be surprised that the kids that created themselves most readily in my mind were boys. I find it much easier to write males than females, for some odd reason. The Gardnerspawn will likely return eventually.
( Tora had been quietly but persistently suggesting for weeks that Guy needed to get out of the house. But when, on a fine Sunday afternoon, he got the stroller out of the closet and started unfolding it, she suddenly changed her tune. )

Title: Mister Hal Jordan
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Guy/Hal
Rating: R (sexual situations, but nothing in graphic detail)
Word Count: 2084
Prompt: vulnerable (T12, P02)
Summary: Guy Gardner, young gym teacher from Baltimore, meets a handsome stranger named Mister Hal Jordan who seems to know more than he lets on.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes: This is what DC gives us about Guy and Hal's first meeting from the old Secret Origins comic: Hal finds out that he has an alternate who almost became Green Lantern instead of him, so, curious about his competition, he goes to Baltimore in his civilian identity and introduces himself to Guy at the gym. The story he gives is that he's a salesman, and he looked Guy up because rumor has it that Guy is the best handball player in town. Handball, people. Of all the sports they could have chosen (which don't even seem like sports Guy would actually play), this is what they chose. Much later, on his way to California with his schoolkids, Guy sits about mooning about Hal on the bus. He can't wait to see him again. Honestly, I didn't even have to stretch my imagination to make this story happen. In its original form as given to us by DC, the subtext is practically text. Handball. Hee.
It should also be noted that the Guy Gardner of this time period is different from the man he would later become. He was trying very hard to be a good boy and was a lot more reserved than both his teenage and later Green Lantern self, so the struggle here was reconciling that side of Guy with what I knew about his earlier and later personality.
( The stranger was young and wellspoken and, Guy had to admit, very handsome. )

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,710
Prompt: Sex Pollen
Continuity: Some random point during the JLI's existence -- maybe even a happier future where everyone is alive. Who knows?
Summary: Poison Ivy got away. Now Ted and Tora have to deal with the aftermath of sex pollen.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Written for the Summer of Cliches Fic-a-Thon. Sex pollen is funny when it pairs up people who hate each other, and it's all well and good when it gets together people who everyone thinks should be getting together anyway, but I think it's more interesting when it matches up people who are just friends and just want to stay friends. In a way, that's even messier than sex with an enemy.

Characters/Pairing: Guy, Ted
Rating: R (language)
Word Count: 1,581
Prompt: Vulnerable (T12; P02)
Continuity: The very beginning of the JLI "Breakdowns" storyline, when Max is in the hospital fighting for his life, right after Guy and Ted's disasterous boxing match.
Summary: How do you repair a friendship that may have never even existed in the first place? With hospital vending machine hot chocolate, of course.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Guy and Ted: friends or not? I don't think any writer was ever quite sure until after Ted died and Guy was suddenly all "Rar! You killed my friend!" about it. But that's extremely in-character for Guy, who never got along with any Green Lanterns, and yet was the one putting up statues and getting portraits painted after the Corps went belly-up. Anyway, their love-hate relationship intrigues me. Thus, this.
