This is the fic journal for iamshadow's fiction!

As of 4/1/08, ALL fiction on this journal is unlocked.

This means USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. Only click on and read stories you are legally allowed to access or feel comfortable reading. The headers clearly warn for rating, pairing and anything that may be major "squicks".

All characters depicted in my fiction in sexual situations are consenting adults.

* To look at EVERYTHING I've written, go and look at the *Master List*, which is the post directly below this one. It has everything arranged by pairing and series. In *THIS POST* I talk about how to use it, although it's pretty self-explanatory.

* To find posts by more general parameters like fandom, ship, rating or mood, check out the right hand side of this journal and use the tags. You can also *CLICK HERE* to go to memories, which has the series and drabbles archived.

* A bit overwhelmed? Don't know where to start? Try reading THIS THREAD, where I talk about my stories. (This only covers my series, though, not my oneshots or drabbles.)

Master List of Stories

Following is a list of my stories, roughly grouped by pairing.Most series on this list have at least one R or NC-17 rated chapter; most of the longer stories have multiple high rated chapters. When you click on a story, read the headers and the warnings, and decide whether or not to continue. If you don't read the headers, it's not my fault if you read something you don't like or are squicked by.

Stories marked by an asterisk (*) are those that I think you should read first in a 'verse, just so you can get the feel of the world or the grounding information you need before exploring the other stories set in the same place.

Chaptered stories that should be read in a set order are numbered, and arranged in tables. My drabbles from the 2008 Drabbles challenge are also in a table, but can be read in any order.

You might notice a few of the stories are on the list a couple of times; this is because they fit under more than one category.

If you notice any problems (link broken, link leading to the wrong story or chapter, a glaring typo, a fic I've left out, etc.) please leave a comment, and I'll fix it ASAP!

Pairings: Gen
Rating: PG
Word Count: 981
Summary: Neither bachelorhood or the army are conducive to healthy eating.

Title: Standing in the Ruin of Our Lives, Building Walls
Author: iamshadow
Ship: Remus/Sirius
Word Count: 1,254
Rating: R
Warnings: Mentioned character deaths (canon). Grief. Angst. Sex. AU.
Summary: Harry stopped asking for James after two weeks; stopped calling for Lily after three.
A/N: Wow, okay. Let's see.

First off, this story is not new. This is not my re-entry into Potter. Think of this fic as an archaeological find.

A few weeks ago I reread To Cling, Amidst Devastation and went to click on to read the sequel fic... and couldn't find it.

Huh, I thought. Must have missed linking it when I wrote the master list.

Nope. Nowhere to be seen.

Damn, I thought. I'm sure I wrote a sequel.

More searching, certain I was going a bit mad. In the end I decided it must have been just an idea I had, or someone else's fic that I rather fancied fit well with To Cling, and left it at that.

Except today, I was cleaning up all the myriad backups on the external drive, and found it. Not only the original, but a betaed copy, by someone going by the handle of gcooper, who obviously liked Torchwood, but I have no idea who they were on LJ. Sorry, gcooper, and thank you for the beta. It was probably almost four years ago, judging by the file date stamps.

So, here it is. No idea why I didn't post. Maybe I couldn't think of a title, and just let it wait so long that I forgot. Maybe there was a niggling annoyance with a turn of phrase. Anyhow, it's all in the past.

Title: A Break In Routine
Author: iamshadow
Fandom: Sherlock
Pairings: Gen, with random non-shippy Sherlock/John
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,400
Summary: An injury can shift the balance of things in a hundred little ways.
Warnings: Unstated consent/dubcon, but in a humourous context. If dubious or unstated consent bothers you, this story might not be for you.
A/N: Just an idea that came to me that I wanted to get out there. Probably not my most polished work, but it makes me laugh, and hopefully it will you too.

While this wasn't written for this prompt on ariadnes_string's Running Hot fic meme, it could be read as such. If you're willing to ignore the lack of John/Lestrade, that is, and indeed ANY Lestrade at all.

Title: Crutch
Author: iamshadow
Fandom: Sherlock
Pairings: Gen
Rating: PG
Word Count: 732
Summary: It's in his head, but it's really not as simple as all that.
Warnings: Spoilers for all of Sherlock and fusion with ACD's story 'The Empty House'. Bonus opening quote from 'House', though no knowledge of that show required.
A/N: Written for the scrumptious woodencoyote, whose work I have adored from afar, for the Make Me A Monday prompt: John had thought his pyschosomatic limp was gone, but one day his leg suddenly gives out entirely and won't support his weight. He's alone, and tries to recover without anyone discovering his weakness.

Title: Consequentialism
Author: iamshadow
Fandom: Sherlock
Pairings: Gen
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,110
Summary: John decides to take things into his own hands, so to speak.
Warnings: Could be interpreted as self-harm, PTSD thinking-patterns (but nothing really worse than the show).
A/N: Mostly set pre-season, with some overlap towards the end.

Title: Fault Lines
Author: iamshadow
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairings: Gen, mentioning canon pairings
Rating: PG
Word Count: 511
Summary: Ianto isn't the man everyone thinks he is.
Warnings: Talk of canon character death and COE events.
A/N: This is a sequel ficlet to Shift. It won't make any sense if you haven't read that, so I suggest you read or re-read that first.

Title: You Carry It With You (a burden, a blessing)
Author: iamshadow
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Pairings: Jack/TARDIS
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,231
Summary: When Jack writes home, it's with his usual mixture of bravado and confession, exaggeration and honesty.
Warnings: Letter-format. Set pre-Boom Town, but referencing things up to the end of S2 Torchwood.
A/N:This story is addressed to an OC that isn't really an OC, and it's bound to be jossed by future Moffat-canon. Loosely linked to my fic Children of Time, but you don't have to read that one. Beta by 51stcenturyfox.

Title: I'll Give You What You Need
Author: iamshadow
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairings: Jack/tech, implied Jack/Ianto and mild team/tech
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,870
Summary: It's just a piece of tech, nothing more.
Warnings: Not really any. Could be set any time in pre-Reset S2.
A/N: Don't really know if this is porny enough for omnijaxual, but it was written for it, and Jack does get laid. So you'll have to deal with the fact that it went kind of melancholy and introspective.
