Series Title: Colliding with Reality
Title: Part 5b: Sex, Lies and Videotape
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Even from across the soundstage, Kris can tell that something is off. Part the fifth, in which we deal with Adam's martyr complex, relationship angst, and Sarver's right godly video.

Author's Notes: Um...hi? Anybody remember this little story? Sorry about the long delay, but about halfway through writing this part (which started about a month and a half ago at this point) real life went *RAWR*, and writing anything was the last thing on my mind. Anyway, finally got back on track and finished up this part, and I still have aspirations about a least one more. I've also gone back to do a little clean-up on previous parts, fixing grammar whatnots, those things that SpellCheck doesn't catch. So, hope you guys enjoy, and because at this point, maybe a refresher is required, the previous parts:

Previous Parts:
Colliding with Reality, Part 1
Colliding with Reality, Part 2: How Could You Be So...
Colliding with Reality, Part 3: Swimming with a Raincoat
Colliding with Reality, Part 4a: First Time Ever I...
Colliding with Reality, Part 4b: First Time Ever I...

But if you don't want to bother with the catch-up, this part can totally be understood unto itself, so kinda semi-standalone.

Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: NC-17
Summary: That abruptly reminds Kris there had been a reason for wanting to get Adam back to the mansion, to have him alone, and that reason is still burning up Kris’ agenda.

Author's Notes: Yay, Part B! Time for the sexin'! And without further ado, since I already wrote a thesis of an AN last time...

Series Title: Colliding with Reality
Title: The First Time Ever I...
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: G, for this part, but as a heads up, the 4b part? Gonna be NC-17 all the way
Summary: That they’d met and connected on their own, so quickly, so deeply, is more proof of a benevolent God than any sermon of fire and brimstone, any hymn of blind acceptance, any Bible verse, no matter how emphatically highlighted.

Author's Notes: Hi, guys! Sorry this part took a little longer to arrive, but taking parts A and B combined, it's at least half again as long as any previous part, and yeah, do y'all remember what I said for "Idol Hands," that it takes me forever to write sex? Well, there ya go. Yay sexytimes--although not till the next part. Or semi-part, or whatever. It's written, of course, but it still needs to be typed up and proofread, which I hope to have done after work late tonight, or by tomorrow morning. Till then, onward Part 4a!

Title: Swimming with a Raincoat
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: PG (Yeah, movin' up in the world!)
Summary: After the judges comments during the Top 3 performance night, Kris finally loses it, and Adam has to pull him back in. Oh, yeah, and also: Either they need to find somewhere else private to talk or Danny needs to find other closets to lurk around, because if this keeps up, they’re going to scar the poor man for life.

Author's Notes: So, yeah, as you guys can see, rating jump! Got to say, though, since I'm a depraved perv myself, I probably would still call it G; however, if I'm going by, say MPAA guidelines, I'm probably safer with what I got. Anyhoo, this story's been sort of eating my soul--I mean, I willingly write it by hand so that I can take it to work and and futz with it there, then come home and painstakingly type it into my computer. If that's not love... What I wouldn't do for you guys :)

ETA: Before I forget (again), I didn't rewatch the Top 3 Performance Night ep again before writing this, so expect variation.

Title: Patience
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: NC-17, for briefly mentioned sexy!times
Summary: Kris has been waiting patiently for the right time to act. Oneshot.
Author's Notes: This was supposed to be a short little drabble to make me feel better now that Idol's over. I started it at work (handwritten again, so you know what that means... X_X), but it just grew. Not huge, but I don't think I can consider it a drabble anymore. I blame Kradam for being so cute--this was one of those things where I was thinking "How would it happen if Kradam -----?" and thus this was born. As always, I own nothing, though I don't have to say it never happened because, hey, set in the future, you never know. ;)

Series Title: Colliding with Reality
Chapter Title: How Could You Be So...
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: G, again
Summary: It’s the first time since elimination night, since the awful fight with Katy, since Adam’s tantalizing not-quite-offer, that Kris has actually had a free moment to process it all, to try and fit these desperate pieces of his life into a whole that makes some kind of sense.
Author's Notes: Okay, now here's the real thing, full Chapter 2. And yeah, chapters now. Darn you all for luring me into a multi-part series. I tried to move this along faster to get to some sexin', but the boys were busy being angsty and cute and wouldn't cooperate. Oh, yeah, if ever I decide to write any fic by hand again, someone shoot me because transcribing is such a pain in the ass. And yeah, not mine, no infringement intended, blah, blah, blah. Dude, tired.

And oh, yeah, before I forget, how much did the the boys rock the final performance night. Best Top 2 EVAR! Also the reason why I didn't get this done earlier tonight--busy voting my fingers off for four hours straight.

Author's Notes: NOT A COMPLETE CHAPTER! Sorry for the caps, but just wanted to make sure no one got their hopes up. This might be a little mean, posting a teaser, but I'm so excited to have this part done before Idol tonight, even though it's written by hand so I have to type it into my computer now, that I had to post something. So treat this like a trailer for Chapter 2, 'kay. The rest should be posted sometime tonight/early next morning, depending on how fast I can type.

Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes. I'll proofread better later.

Title: Idol Hands
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: NC-17, baby.
Summary: “You’re laughing at me,” Adam growled, at contrast with the smile in his eyes.
“Yeah, I really am,” Kris quipped back, hands going to Adam’s waist, pushing aside jacket and shirt to slide over warm, smooth skin. Challenge in his eyes, Kris added, “Do something about it.”
Author’s Notes: Finally, here’s the porn inspired by Wednesday night’s results show. Kind of delayed, yeah, but it takes me frickin’ forever to write sex. Oh, yeah, I don’t own anything; I don’t know anyone; please don’t sue me.

Title: Colliding with Reality
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: G
Summary: “I’m fine,” he says, dragging his hand from his eyes and shifting his hand in Adam’s grip to expose the polish on his thumbnail, “Katy just isn’t too thrilled with the…new direction my sense of fashion is taking.”
Author's Note: This came about because of these posts which noted how protective Kris is of his painted thumbnail, so I thank both of you for feeding my Kradam imaginings. Also, apologies to Katy, because I'm sure this would never happen, but I forget who it was that once said, "Never let truth get in the way of a good story." Hope this one's good enough.

Title: Come Together
Author: dark_orion
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: G. (I know. Sorry)
Summary: Kris' song choice on Top 4 night is inspired by how he and Adam met.
Author's Notes: This is an idea I had based on Kris' choice of song last night, considering how much it made my brain ping on KRADAM constantly, probably because I've always thought that the song had sort of a homoerotic undertone anyway, and put that with my warped mind, and here we go. Warning for sort of weird stream of consciousness thing, but I think it works with the subject. I hope. ^_^;

( Come Together )

This episode made me so happy and angry at the same time that I needed to do a little something to order my thoughts and calm down, so I thought I’d share with you guys. Tonight called for a picspam. I’ve got about thirty-five caps from tonight yesterday’s show, so even if you don’t want to listen to my ramblings, come check out the pretty pictures. :)

( Let's see what we've got, shall we? )

Title: Live Long and Prosper
Author: dark_orion
Rating: G
Summary: “Do you think they were doing it?”
Warnings, Disclaimer, etc: Yo, lawyer type people! TOTALLY NOT MINE. Also, Gratuitous Star Trek references, particularly "The Trouble with Tribbles."
Authors Notes: Because after writing "Souvenirs You Never Lose," I really needed something happy. I guess this could have gone in the humor category, but I just don't feel I'm that funny.

( And now to this fic! )

Title: Souvenirs You Never Lose
Author: dark_orion
Rating: G
Summary: Sometimes Michael wishes that David had died in the accident.
Warnings, Disclaimer, etc: Yo, lawyer type people! TOTALLY NOT MINE. Also, I've done bad things to David. I know, I know, I'm awful.
Authors Notes: Now for the polar opposite to my other entry!



( To the fic! )

Title: Cinderella Story
Author: dark_orion
Rating: G
Summary: David's always hated when terms are used imprecisely.
Warnings, Disclaimer, etc: Yo, lawyer type people! TOTALLY NOT MINE.
Authors Notes: I think I'm choosing right going for the general category here. There's a little too much David!angst for fluff, and a little too much schmoop for angst, so in general we lie.


( To the fic! )

So I got new editing software (yayz!), and I wanted to try it out, and what's better for that than creating some hot Flyboy action? :D

Title: Good Man
Editor: dark_orion
Song Artist: Josh Ritter (from the House soundtrack)
Rating: G, 'cause the boys haven't made a sex tape...that we know of.
Pairing: Mavid. Duh.
Size: 62.1mb
Length: 4:09
Format: .avi (video: MPEG-4, audio: MPEG Layer-3)
Disclaimers: The only thing that belongs to me is the video concept. Specific credits are at the end of the video.

Oh, and I made some speshul art for the vid:

Title: Lest Ye Be Judged, Part 4 (of 4): Advocatus Diaboli
Author: dark_orion
Rating: G. Once again, Simon puts the damper on the boysmut. Sorry.
Pairing: Mavid. Do I really need to say at this point?
Summary: Less than four hours ago, Simon would have said that he was absolutely certain of what the outcome would be for this latest season of American Idol. Now, however, an hour and a half after the show had gone off the air for the night, Simon wasn’t as sure.
Warnings, Disclaimers, etc.: Not mine. Implied boy!kissing. Also, I'm super-tired right now. Does that count as a warning?
Author's Notes: And here it is, the final part of "Lest Ye Be Judged." I have to say, this one kicked my ass a little bit. I'm pretty sure I understand Simon's perspective on the final performance night (understand, not agree with :( Bad Simon for dissing Cookie.), but getting it into written word was a little hard. Anyway, I'm glad to have finally gotten it all out. Thank you all for your fantastic feedback so far, and I hope you like it! (P.S. I'm so tired I'm about to pass out on my keyboard, so if anything looks funky, please let me know so that I can fix it when I'm more conscious. Thankies!)

Part One: Lest Ye Be Judged
Part Two: Should Happen to Fall
Part Three: To Reach the Soul
Vignette, Part A: The Fire Itself
Vignette, Part B: The Fire Itself


( To the finale... )

Because the multi-post is becoming a habit:

Title: What Would Happen
Author: dark_orion
Rating: PG, for boykissing
Pairing: Michael/David
Summary:
Forbidden fruit,
Ring on my finger…
You’re such a moral, moral man.
Would you throw it away, no question?
Will I pretend I’m innocent?
What would happen if we kissed?
Warnings, Disclaimers, etc: There is nothing here owned by me. Hopefully not even the plot of the story, since I'm holding out hope that it actually happened.
Author's Notes: This weekend I actually heard "Time of My Life" on the radio for the first time, so to celebrate, I thought I'd put together a little fanmix about the Michael/David love. However, I realized when I was choosing the songs that their lyrics were telling something of a story. It was an invitation I couldn't resist, so now to accompany the fanmix What Would Happen, there is now a fanfic "What Would Happen." It was only supposed to be a few pages long, a paragraph or two for each song, but it became a 27 page monster. Apparently I just can't do short.

Whew, now I can finally get back to "Lest Ye Be Judged."
