==Highlander Fiction==
James Eyrson 106K-- (NC-17) My first fanfiction, written for Eng's wonderful Highlander Quill Club writing contest, The Tempering Forge. The story really doesn't fit the contest guidelines, but it happened when I stared at her lovely illustration and thought about a beautiful black horse and a chance meeting between Mac and Methos.
Four for All 25K (NC-17 slash) Duncan, Methos, Joe & Richie ponder friendship thanks to Alexandre Dumas. My own favorite story, probably because I love The Three Musketeers as much as I love Highlander. Also available at the Quill Club with lovely graphics (thanks, Eng!). Because of an index problem, this link takes you straight to the story, so please heed the warnings here.
Falstaff's Folly 39K (R, Slash) Methos wonders if MacLeod has been listening too well over the years. Inspired by the Quill Club's Slashing the Bard contest.
Poisons 88K (R, Slashy) This was my actual entry in the Quill Club's Slashing the Bard contest. Feedback on the story included the remark that it "doesn't actually slash the Bard, does it?" Read at your own risk!
Obligatory Bath Scene 17K (PG-13) If you've seen the Marx Brothers, you'll know where this one is going. A bit of silliness for no good reason; inspired by a bunch of fine bathtub sex stories on the Duncan-Methos list.
By Candlelight 13K (PG-13) A short and sad post-series story.
Voice 30K (NC-17) Violence and slash, please heed the warnings on the story page. An AU story covering the events post-CAH/Rev. 6:8
Involved 216K (NC-17 slash) An AU first meeting of Duncan and Methos, set in Occupied France during World War II.
Necessity 30K (R-rated slash) A remix of a story by Helens. It's not always clear what Methos did and didn't invent.
===Lyric Wheel stories===
Stories inspired by songs. Check out the Lyric Wheel site for more such stories, or more information on how the Wheel works.
Up The Road 18K (PG for language) The End is the Beginning Wheel, and it's the Joe and Methos show.
A Crooked Line 25K (R slash) The Origins Wheel gave me a chance to not explain where Methos got that leather thong around his neck.
Fall Into Darkness 16K (NC-17 for violence and general nastiness) This story fills in Methos' background as postulated in the Voyagers series.
The Lost 24K (G) A poetry wheel challenge story. Mac, angst, and Methos.
Little Blue 13K (G with slash overtones) Duncan and Methos get (almost) equal time in this angsty wallow.
The Inn at the Bridge 13K (NC-17; slash and very dark themes) Written for the Wheel's Halloween turn, this is a horror story and you should observe all warnings on the story.
The Ruins 13K (Absolutely G, can you believe it?) A Quickening Wheel, and Richie Ryan.
Half Empty 18K (G again, the LW seems to bring it out in me) Methos in Chicago; Methos in a bar; Methos on a boat; Methos in a challenge. Nothing terribly original. The lyric is great, tho.
Two-Eyed Jack 22K (G rated) As "Through a Glass" showed us, the flashbacks in Highlander are usually Duncan's point of view...
===Other Challenge stories===
A Trip to the Market 6K (R) An ABC challenge story which was once on the now-defunct Net Cafe's site. Just silly fluff with a slashy bent.
Methos' Dream 19K (G but strange) Jill posed a question on the ROG list about whether Duncan would choose Tessa or Methos. This is my warped answer.
Gone Again 29K (PG-13) Where does Methos go during his periodic disappearances? This is one answer. Another Net Cafe challenge.
===Alternate Universe Series===
Voyagers (NC-17) An incomplete series -- but the individual stories are not cliffhangers, so you can read and find them complete in and of themselves.
==Due South Fiction==
Dealings 187K (PG) An alternate universe retelling of the Due South pilot episode. This story explores the developing friendship between Ray Vecchio and Benton Fraser.
Dealing with the Past 169K (NC-17/Slash) The story begun in Dealings continues as women from Fraser and Ray's past come back into their lives.
Laying the Past 23K (NC-17/Slash) A brief epilogue to the Dealings universe.
Cold Plastic 10K (R, Slash implied) Just a silly snippet, a hazard of taking public transportation in Chicago.
For Benny's Sake 38K (NC-17/Slash) Ray needs money and there's no honest way to get it. Or to pay it back.
Three Months 191K (NC-17/Slash) Ray interacts with Fraser's neighbors -- and Fraser -- as they solve a case in this story.
Land That Man! 48K (R, Slash) Frannie leaves a magazine lying around. Ray and Fraser both find it very interesting.
12 South Fulton 39K (G preslash) An investigation into a crime and Ray's past.
Family & Friends 44K (G preslash) AU story where Fraser and Ray meet for the first time under very different circumstances.
Five things Diefenbaker never told Fraser (6K) Just what it sounds like, a list ficlet.
===And now for something kinda different===
Street Scenes 15K (NC-17/gen) A set of three stories (and I hope more to come) in the Due South universe that don't feature our boys -- these are the stories of those Chicagoans who are extras in their exciting lives.
===Two Axes list challenge stories===
Private 23K (G; Slash relationship) Happy thanksgiving. Do holidays depress you? Whether or not they do, this story probably will. A TwoAxes Thanksgiving challenge story.
Benny's Song 18K (NC-17 slash) Short and all sex, another challenge story from the Two Axes list.
That Taste of Summer 16K (G) Another short TwoAxes challenge piece, a meditation on Chicago summers and love.
Name Days 22K (PG for lascivious slashy thoughts on the part of a Mountie) Another short story wherein Ray tells Benny about a tradition.
October 66K (NC-17 Slash): This is a schitzophrenic little story written for a Halloween challenge on TwoAxes. It's flawed but I'm not up for a re-write, so you get the flawed version.
Do Over 43K (NC-17 Slash): A challenge story. What would you do for a second chance?
Wrestling with Demons 13K (NC-17 Slash): A short first-person story written for the TwoAxes Valentine's challenge.
The Way Home 32K (G Slash, 'cause it's about love not sex) The "June is Bustin' Out" challenge meant a story about a jailbreak. I love this lyric so much I want to write five or six more stories about it.
Going with the Tide 19K (PG-slash) The "April Showers" challenge, which required that one or both of the boys get wet in the story.
Stupid 22K (PG-slash) The "May Flowers" lyric wheel, where the story had to mention a flower or flowers.

West (27K) - G-rated angst and shmoop, though of course I still think of it as slash. Isn't everything? Sam finally makes the journey.
The World's Address (12K) - G rated movie-verse quickie, inspired by a lovely video. See the story page for a link. Frodo may know a lot more about the world by the time he reaches Rivendell, but often love makes us ignore what we know to be true.

In Dreams (18K) - G rated slash. Sam and Frodo's dreams at three stages in their lives.

As Middle Earth Turns (148K) - NC-17 rated, and please note the warning on the story page. Frodo is abducted -- a response to Lily Baggins' LJ challenge. And a double-drabble in this universe, just for fun: Princess (2K) And the prequel to this story, Courtship (35K) And finally, a sequel to the story, Middle-Earth Continues Turning (230K). OK, I lied about "finally" above: a double-drabble in this universe, The Night of the 25th (4K).
Dreams, Long-Deferred -- and Reality (47K) - PG-13 slash, written for Lily Baggins' birthday. Post-Quest, Aragorn has been ordering his kingdom and neglecting a hobbit.
Site Visit (15K) - R-rated pure silliness.

The course of true love is not running smoothly for Frodo when a man from the Mark arrives in Bree.
The Baggins Revue (638K) - Slash, NC-17 rated. Angst, oddness, and confusion. Bilbo manages an acting troupe, and adopts young Frodo to play the female roles. The adventure begins when Bilbo grows tired of the audiences in the Shire.

Five things Elijah learned from working with Viggo (6K) My one and only RPS story and I have no place to put it
===Frodo/Faramir===
The Twentieth Day (163K) - PG-13 slash, an AU tale. The first change is that Faramir makes the journey to Imladris. And a drabble that's an AU of this AU (confused? me too): Noblesse Oblige
Duty and Memory (8K) - PG-13 slash, a missing scene.
Journey to Ithilien (34K) - NC-17 slash, written for the Frodo's NY Mathoms (slash) challenge. Frodo is seeking a home, post-Quest.
Letters (21K) - PG-13 slash, written for the Frolijah's Spring Cleaning Fic challenge. Post-Quest, Frodo is a twit and Sam's idea of help is rather distressing.
The Apple Peddler (54K) - more PG-13 slash (someday I must write a sweaty F/F!). Set post-Quest, Frodo returns to the Shire and waits to hear from Faramir. And waits...
===Frodo/Eomer===
Hobbit Feet (4K) - NC-17, non-explicit slash. Baranduin started me thinking about the hair on hobbit feet, and this is the result.
Cleansed (36K) - NC-17 slash, post-Quest. Frodo is late again; Eomer is angry.
Claimed (74K) - NC-17 slash, very explicit. A post-Quest meeting in Minas Tirith. And a silly addendum to the Claimed universe, The Writer of Rohan (5K) PG-13 slash. Even more of the Claimed story, Reclaimed (39K) NC-17 slash
Searchers (373K) - NC-17 slash. Imagine Middle Earth has reached an era similar to the Old West. Then imagine a young hobbit trying to make his way meeting up with a rancher's nephew from the south.
Corsair Cove (81K) - NC-17 slash. Eomer and Frodo pass the long winter evenings reading the next Fosco Teabrand novel.

The Rocky Road (26K) - R-rated slash. Written for the Live Journal Hobbit Smut community's "games hobbits play" challenge. Cultural differences may include rules for a game, or the alcohol content of the local wine. A romp.
Perfect (6K) - NC-17 slash, written at Fellowslash 2004 as part of a writing workshop led by the wonderful Lady Sunrope.
===Frodo/Boromir===
Gift (17K) - NC-17 slash. Frodo went to the shore to be alone, as he's been for so long now.
===Frodo/OC===
Normal Hobbits (27K) - NC-17, slash (F/OC) and angst. Please heed all the warnings at the top of this one. Some lessons stay with us all our life.
The Interrogation of Frodo Baggins (20K) R, slash (F/Claudia's OC), mpreg. A short ficlet, just what it sound like. Rangers and misunderstood, pregnant hobbits.
Men of Gondor (20K) - NC-17 for rape. The Two Towers movie-verse; missing scenes from Frodo and Sam's encounter with Faramir. Please heed the warnings!
Spoiled (16K) - NC-17 Het sex; please be warned. Frodo/OFC, just a short PWP really.
===Drabbles===
Fashions of Gondor (10K) - G rated and silly. Not a proper drabble, but too short to list anywhere else. Mardi Gras 2004 provided way too many images of Elijah Wood in his Bacchus costume.
At Helm's Deep (26K) - NC-17 slash and het content. This is a series of drabbles (with one ficlet) based on a challenge to write an AU with Frodo at the battle of Helm's Deep. So, of course, it's all about sex! There's all kinds of lusting going on, but the pairings getting any action are F/Eomer and F/Eowyn.
Elf-Sense - G rated. Shirebound asked if any elves in Middle Earth had a sense of direction after hearing Legolas say the urks were headed northeast to Isengard. Here's my very silly answer.
Autumn Leaves - R rated, short and sad.
==The Faculty==

Ohio Winter 27K -- Zeke/Casey, NC-17. Secrets intrigue Zeke.

===Stand-Alone Stories===
Nice Guy (6K) -- Stan/Casey, NC-17 non-con sex. Stan is a prince. Right?
Gypsy (44K) -- R-rated Zeke/Casey and Zeke/female character. Very heavily "borrowed" from a well-known Broadway show, an AU look at Casey and Zeke, and Casey's momma.
Gather Ye Rosebuds (14K) -- R-rated Zeke/Casey slash. The five of them are inseperable since the aliens.
Five things Casey taught Zeke (5K) - NC-17 Zeke/Casey, a list ficlet
===Drabbles===
Autumn Leaves
Stupid
Motions
===Crossovers===
