He doesn't count on Kris Allen, an irritating, self important civil rights activist/musician/save the whales do-gooder to move in across the hall, or on the sophisticated and sexy Chace Crawford pursuing him at work. He quickly allows himself to fall in love (or at least lust), because isn't that what he's been waiting for his entire adult life? But things don't always work out the way you expect them to.

Characters/Pairings: Kris/Adam
Warnings: AU. Fluff. Kidfic. Lots of (minor) OCs. Mentions of the death of a secondary character. Abuse of commas.
Summary: Listening to his dad play when he thinks Dylan is asleep makes Dylan kind of sad and worried. His dad is good, that’s what everyone says. But no one ever gets discovered in Arkansas. Alfie says even Baltimore is better if you want to be famous, but he still thinks that city kind of stinks, so he doesn’t recommend it to Dylan. He says they need to move to Los Angeles. That’s where all the famous people live. And Alfie has an Aunt Madeleine there, and he can totally come and visit sometimes.
Dylan doesn’t have his own computer, but his dad lets him use the one in the living room. He even has his own account there, with his very own user picture (Batman) and password (robinsux). So he already looked Los Angeles up, and he’s pretty sure Alfie is right about this. Because Los Angeles is where Adam Lambert lives, and if his dad is ever going to make an album and give concerts and stuff, Adam Lambert is the guy to help.

Summary: Mermaid hooker AU: Adam is a mer-pimp, Kris is a mer-hooker, and there is a plotty plot of plottiness that doesn't have to do with either of these things directly. I'm told it's not, um, complete crap. As long as you aren't expecting kinky inter-species sex, or actually any sex at all, or, like, relationship angst or something.

Summary: His publicist sounded scornful. "I'm a professional bullshitter. And this is heteronormative bullshit that the public is going to gorge themselves fucking stupid on, okay? You want to be yourself, stop being a fucking celebrity. Do you think Angelina wanted to adopt the fucking UN of orphaned children? We had to do something about the vials of blood and the incest. Stop complaining, all you have to do is marry a hot guy."

Summary: Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us?
Adam Lambert has always been destined for bigger things. Yes, Bruno Mars won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance but Adam is meant for greater things, this becoming obvious during an appearance on the American Idol when he performs his stripped down version of Aftermath. He’s on the right path and he’s walking it well-enough and trying to let go of a memory of the past as well as the person who usually comes with it, but unbeknownst to Lane and everyone else, Adam meets Kris again in the Green Room while he’s doing his vocal warm-ups. Kris, the American Idol during Adam’s season, and the one that got away before Adam even knew he could take.
Kris. He fell in love with Adam during Idol; fell in love with the down-to-earth, fun-loving and out-of-this-world man. Kris had never met a man like Adam and he’s determined to keep him but Katy, Drake, Lane and Sutan are conspiring to keep them apart. It’s all kinds of weird that they insist on wearing sunglasses, in the dark, even when none of the paparazzi are around.
Kris learns he is up against Fate itself and the people running around in sunglasses—what he calls in his head as The Shady Adjusters (get it?)—who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent Kris from being with Adam.
In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let Adam go and accept a predetermined path... or risk everything to defy Fate and be with him.

Adam is magic and childhood dreams and yes, okay, he’s terrifying; exotic and startling and strange, half man, half something out of a storybook, man and myth melded together in seamless imagination. The sway of his hips curl into the liquid flow of his tail, like a memory of legs, except too intimate, too proud to be considered once-bipedal. There’s mystery there; in the coil of his body, under the gleaming black of his scales. Next to him, Kris feels like a clumsy, ham-handed monkey.

Summary: (from artist claim post) Kris thought he was just going to LA for college, until his girlfriend dumped him the first week and his roommate started dragging him along to acting auditions. A few short years later, he's on the brink of Hollywood "It-Boy" status and learning how to adjust to his new-found fame, even though he's still not sure he even wants to be an actor. (He is sure he's not any good.) He had always planned on moving back home to Arkansas, playing music at his church, and raising a family.
When he meets Adam, a crazily talented cabaret singer with a crew of over-the-top club-kid friends, Kris starts to think there might be better plans out there. He just needs to figure out how to incorporate his new goals (kissing Adam as much as possible) with his old ones (being a good friend and making his parents proud). And there's that pesky question of his career, and the publicist who's trying to cast him as Hollywood's good little Christian-boy-next-door.

Summary: When the boys meet, it's BFF at first sight. During the next year they spend most of their time together, and in general, people think they're 'together', which only bothers Adam because he doesn't want Kris scared off. Kris finds this to be great fun. ...And that's kind of where the fun in this story ends. The week of their 'anniversary', Kris suddenly disappears, and Adam is the only person to find this impossibly wrong and un-Kris-like. Months of searching later, a chance overheard conversation leads Adam into a world of conspiracy, twisted secret slavery, and major Geneva Code violations. Even if he finds Kris, he won't be the same. And with the entire Project being locked up tighter than any other secret in the world, escape seems pretty much out of the question.
Supporting cast including crazy Nazi-like frakkers, and a BAMFy Japanese Yoda.

Word Count: 12,027
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Kris/Adam, Jackson/Lydia, Stiles/Danny, Derek, Isaac, Cora, Peter, Scott, Allison, mentions of Scott/Allison
Warnings Some violence but, honestly, nothing too graphic. Also, tense changes that, yes, are deliberate. It's also entirely possible the Teen Wolf characters are OOC since this is my first time writing them. See master post for spoiler warnings.
Summary: Kris Allen was new to both Beacon Hills and the Hale pack. A born werewolf, he'd left Arkansas behind when most of his pack had been killed by hunters that didn't follow the code and his Alpha had been killed by a power hungry Omega. Rather than submit to the stranger that had killed his Alpha, he'd headed for California where there'd been rumors of the Hale pack once more being established there after surviving an attack from the Alpha pack.
From the first moment that Kris sees Adam, he knows that Adam is his mate, something that he never thought he'd find. Dating Adam isn't going to be the hard part, he and Adam just fit. No, the hard part is going to be figuring out how to tell his new boyfriend that werewolves are real, Kris and a good number of his friends are werewolves, and, yes, other supernatural creatures are real too.
Plus, there's that whole mate thing.

Characters/Pairings: Kris/Adam
Warnings None.
Summary: It’s been six years since Adam Lambert last saw Kris Allen, so when Simon Fuller proposes that Adam and Kris work together as the mentor team for the next season of American Idol, Adam’s a little bit surprised, and a lot rattled. The job offer is something that Adam would be a fool to turn down, but he’s not sure he can work with Kris, not after everything that’s happened between them. However, for the sake of his own sanity, and the possibility of the Idol gig, Adam agrees to see if he and Kris can rebuild their friendship, and if not, at least get to a place where they’re comfortable working together.
What Adam doesn’t expect, though he totally should have, is the way Kris looks at him sometimes, and the way his own heart pounds in response. Things are further complicated by the fact that Kris has a young son now, and Ollie has taken up space in Adam’s heart right alongside Kris. Adam’s afraid to believe that it’s possible, but will he and Kris be able to capture lightning in a bottle twice?
