Wide Awake and Dreaming

Fandom: Dark Angel - Max (X5-452)/Alec (X5-494), Max/Logan
Rating: PG
Prompt: Written for candycentric at da_challenge, where she requested: "WHAT IF... Alec hadn't really been with anyone else like he bragged about? What if his first sexual experience was with Max, sometime after Designate This?" The title/theme is from 15_song_titles : 74 - Kingdom Of Lies.

Notes: Post 'Freak Nation.' This is the first story in a longer series of stories to fill my 15_song_titles claim. Each one can be read as a short stand alone story, or all together for one longer story arc that ultimately makes up my answer to candycentric's request.

Prompt: varietypack100084. He
Notes: Another piece that probably belongs in the middle somewhere, as the ending is not very constructive, and the beginning comes in after a lot of omitted backstory, but I have no idea where, but I liked the conversation, none the less.

Fandom and Pairing: HP, Hermione Granger/Severus Snape
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Hermione is assaulted by a Death Eater (NOT Snape) and bears a child. Post-war, Snape helps her deal with the trauma and raise her child. Does not have to be romance, can contain NC-17 content, though no graphic rape. Also used for varietypack100 : 029. Birth
Warnings: Obliquely mentioned rape. This fic deals with the aftermath of the assault, with mentions of the circumstances.

Prompt: original female character, an illusion of control

I recently had cause to meet up with someone from my past, a lover of my teen-age fancy. He was so much older then, a man, subject to my girlish affections. Our age difference, now, is very little in the scheme of things.

Of course, it was not insurmountable then, either. My wisdom outstripped my age, and sometimes even his. He much disliked the times when I let the artifice drop and turned that knowledge on him. It is a skill I have since perfected, and it still thrills me to turn it on the unwary.

I pinned him before me, with my gaze, a small, secret smile curving at my lips. I painted him the truth with my husky, child-like voice, and teased him with the description of his folly.

He turned the conversation back on me. "You think you know, but that was a long time ago. What makes you so sure you know me so well?"

"Little or nothing, I suppose, but what did Lolita care about a man's opinion, beyond that of her ability to manipulate it?" I raised one eyebrow in silent challenge and let the side of my mouth turn up in a teasing smile.
