idealists are the cruelest monsters of them all.

Sweet Zeus, I didn’t think this would ever get done, but since the new season starts in two days, I really had to get my shit together. Plus, I thought some people might like something to read while they wait to VOTE...

Dedicated wholeheartedly to serialkarma who has waited a whole year for it to be written, I present the post-Telegraph Avenue story of Jamie and Ian, with an appearance by some random dude from The O.C.


( Telegraph Avenue Epilogue: Check Your Head (I of II) )

1. My baby wrote her first dS story. I'm so proud. *gets choked up*

2. I’m confused. Mischa Barton won an award for her acting? What acting? Was this Actress Most Like a Wooden Board? Yeesh.

3. ( Kindly look away while I make fangirly noises over a new SV spoiler. )

4. It's hard to be on holiday when lalejandra asks for stuff so nicely.

The O.C.
The Apocalypse Has Been Postponed
(  Maybe it was true that people were attracted to people who reminded them of their parents -- it was a scary thought, but least Ryan didn't have the Cohen eyebrow )

I missed my two-year LJ anniversary due to various commitments; so I shall write myself stuff to make it up to me.

Unknowingly inspired by happyminion and betad by serialkarma.

The O.C.
( Seth as a Verb )

ETN: I am well aware that using Seth in this manner is actually relegating him to an adjective not a verb, but I am partial to this title. If you can't deal, no one is forcing you to read this.

Okay 86 O.C. fen. This one is for you.

The O.C.
( I Wanna Be Sedated or Seth Cohen and the Art of Zen )

I quite like this one.


The O.C.
( The Straw & The Camel )
*Speculation for The Rivals*

A few days ago andariell wrote some SV to the Counting Crows ‘A Long December’ which a) was brilliant and b) threw me because I’d been contemplating using the same song for some O.C. stuff. When I told her this, she said it shouldn’t deter me. So.

For Andy.

When December Falls
( The O.C. )

I’d like to point out that Johnny Cash’s ‘Six White Horses’ is the shizznit. (Johnny Cash and shizznit in the same sentence? Yes, and for my next feat I plan on turning Hypnotiq into Jack Daniels.)

The O.C.
( Delayed Gratification )

*Just a small something inspired by an offer suaine made, and dedicated to anybody who needs a little levity in their day.*

+Whatever poor schmuck got me for the Obscure Secret Santa, you can pretty much take a page out of what bonibaru said regarding hers. If you like it, chances are I will too.

+ Kavalier & Clay junkies (corinna_5 and taraljc): The Escapist is up for pre-sale. *makes noises*

+It hailed enough to look like snow in South LA. Dude, earthquakes, fire and the Terminator. Now this. Need I say more?

+kattiya has hot photos of my sekrit girlfriend. Dude. Dude. Straight who?

( Also, I had a few more random OC thoughts )

The following story seemed like a good idea when it came to me, but uh yeah, there’s no redeeming value here or anything. Just so you know.

Written to make serialkarma laugh and appease the angry Dark Lord of all things Orange and v v Gay. (Dude, I so didn’t know it was going to go like that.)

The O.C.
( Mr. Telephone Man )

Sometimes being me sucks. ( However, I’m dating Josh Schwartz, so I really can’t complain )

serialkarma wanted ‘a wet story’, and since I’m still trying to dig out my HP muses for impudent_rabbit, I obliged.

The O.C. (Unbeta’d)
( They’re Called Forwards, Too )

This is part eight. There are only nine.
