Title: Prophecies
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Abin Sur/Sinestro
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 493
Summary: What Abin Sur says: "War! Destruction! Doom!" What Sinestro hears: "Blah, blah, blah."
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: When Abin heard the prophecy about the final fate of the Corps, I find it hard to believe that Sinestro's evil role as the greatest traitor of all time wasn't mentioned. So why was it Sinestro he warned, and Sinestro's name on his lips as he died? Well, I'm sure there are plenty of reasons, but this is fanfic, and in fanfic, the answer is always "Because of the gay." Duh. :)

Title: Pyrrhic Victory
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Iolande/Soranik, Kyle/Soranik
Rating: G
Word Count: 396
Summary: Iolande wanted Kyle out of Soranik's life. She got her wish.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Spoilers for Green Lantern Corps #32.
Title: Meticulous
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Hal/Sinestro, implied Abin Sur/Sinestro
Rating: R
Word Count: 1699
Summary: Sinestro pays attention to Every. Little. Detail.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Warning you now for: completely made-up facts about Korugarian physiology (come on, it's not like Geoff Johns is going to tell me this stuff!), weird implications about Sinestro's sexual habits, and, well... naked Sinestro. Even so, it's not intended to be porn so much as a Sinestro character study. In my mind, he's OCPD, among other things. Luckily this is not nearly as non-con as it initially appears. (And I had to seriously fight the urge to have Kyle walk in on this just for the lolz.)
Title: Like Home
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Eddie, Jaime
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,381
Summary: Red Devil sleeps over at Blue Beetle's house.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Time for me to speak sacrilege: I... like the current Titans better than the old Titans and Young Justice. I love Jaime. I love Eddie. I love M'gann. I love Rose as Ravager. I even like Amy and hope she sticks around. I didn't like Cassie through YJ and her earlier Titans appearances, and I wanted to punch her in her stupid whiny face after Kon's death, but she's finally growing on me now. I'm neutral on Tim (even though I like him better than I like the other Robins, he has seriously grated on my nerves ever since Kon died and unlike Cassie has yet to stop annoying me). I still miss Bart, and I'm sad that Kon never got to finish developing into the stellar character that he was still in the process of growing into, but... well, I'm really enjoying Teen Titans now for the first time in ages. Team Red and Blue is a big part of that. They're turning into the new Blue and Gold! (Seriously, have you read the newest Teen Titans? I'm trying very hard not to take certain comments in that issue as subtext.)
Title: Fly Away
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Bea/Oberon, Scott
Rating: R (Mature themes, but nothing explicit)
Word Count: 2,736
Continuity: Elseworld prequel -- roughly six months before Diamond In the Rough
Summary: Oberon is just a step away from freedom. But it’s the hardest step to take.
Disclaimer: DC owns ‘em.
Author’s Notes/Warnings: Bea/Oberon is probably the least-written canon pairing in the DCU. (In fact, I’ve never seen it. Ever.) I’m actually a little bit sorry that my first attempt at tackling them is in an Elseworld where the relationship is so twisted and violent.
Title: The Blood of Gods and Kings
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Tora, Bea, Ted, Guy, L-Ron, Queen Olaf (flashback only)
Rating: R
Word Count: 5,473
Continuity: Elseworld. Flashbacks take place sixteen, twelve, eight, and four years ago respectively. The "present-day" sections of the story take place directly after Diamond in the Rough.
Summary: Tora's story. Tora sleeps, Bea makes a deal with Mad Doc Kord, Guy notices… things.
Disclaimer: DC owns ‘em.
Author’s Notes/Warnings: Nothing explicit, but there are definitely some mature themes here (slavery, rape, war, etc.).
Special notes on Norse mythology/Tora's spirituality, because this will come up again: Given the culture she grew up in, it's likely that Tora was named in honor of Thor, Norse god of thunder. He's generally regarded as a loud, brash redhead (hmm...), but he was also viewed as a protector and is a very important god to Tora's people. It's worth noting that when slaves die, they go to Thor's hall, Bilskirnir. Vali, who gets one tiny mention here, is a Norse god of vengeance.

Title: Diamond in the Rough
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Bea, Guy, Tora
Rating: R
Word Count: 3,934
Continuity: Unnamed Elseworlds. Takes place at roughly the same time as Mad Doc Kord.
Summary: Lord Maxwell’s Knights put down a slave rebellion and find something special hidden in the slave yard.
Disclaimer: DC owns ‘em.
Author’s Notes/Warnings: It is possible that Bea is crazier than Mad Doc Kord. Guy, whipped? Possibly. Also, a few of the minor characters mentioned in passing here will show up again eventually and have greater roles to play. I pledge to craft a universe with more Oberon in it. For Great Justice.
Title: Mad Doc Kord
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Ted, Max
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,000 exactly!
Continuity: Unnamed Elseworlds
Summary: Lord Maxwell gets an upgrade.
Disclaimer: DC owns ‘em.
Author’s Notes/Warnings: Background info on this Elseworld coming sometime later today or tomorrow, probably. I have plans.
Title: Snowed In
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Bea/Guy, Peggy Louise Gardner
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1390
Prompt: Cabin Fever (T7; P39)
Continuity: After the end of Guy Gardner: Warrior and JLA v.2, but before GL: Rebirth.
Summary: It's like a plot for a horror movie: Guy and Bea are snowed in at Warriors... with Guy's mom.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Now I desperately want to contrive a reason for Guy and Bea to have a bastard fire-baby.
Title: The Rest of the Way Home
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy/Kyle
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1791
Prompt: Exhaustion (T7; P28)
Summary: Like feathers in a hurricane: two Green Lanterns caught in a supernova.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: For
( He wanted to wear that dumb sweater that Kyle had gotten him for Christmas. )
Title: Mouse
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Bea, Booster, Guy, J'onn, Ted, Tora
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,337
Summary: One mouse is all it takes.

Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Bea/Tora, Booster, Guy, Ted
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 748
Prompt: Men
Summary: Tora likes her men bad and beefy. Bea notices these things and puts her knowledge to use.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: For the Cold Snap: Winter '08 Porn Battle on
( The joys of bisexuality below the cut )
Title: Domination Is
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy/Tora
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.
( Being dominated isn't what Guy imagined it would be at all. )
Title: Masks
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Guy/Tora, Hal, Gunnar, Garth, Griffin, Rocky
Rating: G
Word Count: 763
Prompt: Costumes (2008 DCU Free For All Autumn Challenge)
Summary: Uncle Hal volunteers to take Guy's kids trick-or-treating, but Rocky has to get over his newest phobia, first.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em all except the Gardnerspawn.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Why is Rocky the only person in the universe smart enough to be disturbed by this?
( Not Griffin's fault this time! )
Title: Tiger by the Tail
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy, Parallax
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3025
Prompt: Fight (T07; P27)
Continuity: A possible future roughly twenty-five years from now. The same continuity in which the Gardnerspawn exist.
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.

Claim: The Dibnys
Characters/Pairing: Sue Dibny, Max Lord, L-Ron
Rating: PG
Word Count: 690
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.
( The Superbuddies had disappeared. )
Title: The Kitty
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Guy/Tora, Gunnar, Garth, Griffin, Rocky
Rating: G
Word Count: 395
Continuity: The future or something.
Summary: Guy and Tora's children are attacked by a beast that is probably not a kitty!
Disclaimer: DC owns Guy and Tora. The Gardnerspawn are mine.
Author's Notes/Warnings: How many times a day do you suppose a superhero parent's heart skips a beat? Every little squeal as the children play in the yard, every loud noise that might or might not be a laser or a gunshot, every single time a child comes running inside as if bearing dire news... it has to be like dying a little a dozen times a day, wondering if this is the time when your greatest enemy has come to take away your most precious treasures.

Title: Persuasion
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy/Kyle
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1111
Prompt: Lick (T13; P02)
Summary: Kyle is tired. Guy is horny. Sometimes you have to be clever to get what you want.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Just some silly, slashy fluff. I still think they'd make a cute pair.
Title: Gunnar’s Terrible Secret
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Gunnar, Guy/Tora
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,983
Continuity: The future or something.
Summary: Gunnar has a secret that he’s sure is going to destroy his whole world.
Disclaimer: DC owns Guy and Tora. The Gardnerspawn are mine.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Hoping to give each of the boys a little solo screen-time to develop them more. I thought Gunnar was going to be the hardest to write, but this actually came pretty easily. This is a nightmare for Guy. He tries very hard not to put too much pressure on his kids so that they don't feel as inadequate as he did as a child, but what happens when one of his boys puts that kind of pressure on himself?
Title: Got Your Back
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy, Hal
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 761
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? )
