red challenge: it suits you

Title: Red Suits You
Author: joiealegria
Rating: PG
Pairing: Adam/Larry
Word Count: 1,538
Disclaimer: Totally, absolutely and completely unreal. I could not possibly BE meshing fantasy more than I am right here. (Actually, okay, I could, but it'd get tough. And squick-y.)
Author's Notes: Massive massive thanks to my betas: shihadchick for the extensive aiding and abetting and the maniacal laughter therein. I love when the OneBrain kicks into gear and we can enable one another; and jigofspite for offering another, less crack-tastic perspective and for fixing my commas and tenses and blondes, oh my.

This is my offering for the Red Challenge and totally not the fic I had in mind just a day ago, but this idea grabbed me by the throat as I was trying to fall asleep last night and then refused to let go. Frankly, I'm disappointed that I didn't think of it sooner, but hey. Better late than never. (Though, I'm betting quite a few people will disagree with me on that. Heh.)

Ehm. This is sort of an odd fic in that I doubt most people will know or understand the POV, but I'm hoping I made it U2-centric enough that it won't be too off-putting. I won't say anymore for fear of just sounding like I'm making up excuses for my own complete self-indulgence. In all actuality, I had far too much fun writing this and I hope at least some of you have as much fun reading it.


( For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, the musicians who make up U2 are dressed as members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police... )

With the permission of the fabulous writing pair, here are four random icons using quotes from Hawkmoon Ch 76.

(There were six originally, but two sucked badly, so they didn't make the cut.)

Please comment, and credit ravencaw, melissau2 & occula. You MUST credit all of us, or at the very least the two writers.

More U2 icons at my journal :)

Title: Seeing is Believing.
Author: Claire
Rating: A nice PG, for mayhem and murder most foul. Er, well, for a few bad words and mentioning a murder NOT related to the U2 family in any way shape or form.
Pairing: B/E (yeah, I know. Who am I and what have I done with me? ;) )
Wordcount: 1094 words.
Disclaimer: No harm is meant by this story, it is simply a figment of my little imagination. All possibly copyrighted aspects are the property of their respective owners, and no infringement of financial or moral rights is intended. The real people mentioned are presented as their publicly available personae, and are just as fictional. Think Henry V, not The News At Seven, thanks.
Notes: Pop era, mildly AU simply in that this obviously never happened. Many, many thanks to the Joy for betaing and improving this greatly. Safety in numbers, eh? The tagged quote is, as far as I'm aware, Mark Twain and thus should now be public domain. Um. I hope, anyway. Anyway, if it's not, Pterry was infringing before I was!

For the red challenge.
