Title: All Over You
Author: rhys
Characters: Chris, Joey.
Prompt: 19. Dark
Rating: Mature
Length: Long (six chapters series)
Brief summary: Chris is raped. Rhys's series, All Over You, it's one of the best examples I've ever found of a good rape story, as it doesn't gloss over the long recovery time. Even more, it doesn't get 'better' at all, and by the end of the fic, you're hurting as much as the characters. But that's what a good dark story should do. Every time I read it, I cry. It's that good.
Chris stepped into the room, still wearing his bar clothes and a long, black coat that came to his knees. That, Joey was sure, was new. Walking to the window, Chris stared out, and Joey came up behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder. Chris jumped and shook him off, growling, "I hate you."
Joey blinked. "What?"
"I fucking hate you," Chris repeated, turning around when Joey tried to touch him again, smacking Joey in the chest. Joey stumbled, disoriented and confused. Chris stepped forward, pushing him again, and Joey backed into the bed, falling onto the floor with a loud thud. Chris grabbed him by the arms, nails digging into Joey's skin, breaking the flesh. "I hate you."
Joey breathed deeply, "what did I." Gasped. "What did I do?"
Chris threw Joey against the wall, clenching his fists, and Joey stood there, not understanding, stupid and shaking his head. "I," Chris breathed calmly, "hate," thrust his hands into Joey's stomach, "you."

Title: Mind Reader
Author: Mercutio and Kate
Characters: Chris, Joey
Prompt: 04. Fluff
Rating: G.
Length: Short
Brief summary: This is the sweetest fic I've ever read with the 'telepathy' idea. To quote the actual summary of the fic: "Joey can read Chris's mind. Chris can't." And I'm quoting it, because it's the best possible way to summarize this particular fic. It's a story about love, attention, and relationships, and the only thing I don't particularly like about it is that it is too short.
Chris stops after a few repetitions. It isn't fun when the other
person just plays along. He pokes Joey instead. "You should be in
love with me."
"Why?"
"Because!"
"Do you know what I'm thinking?"
"No."
"Then I don't think you've put forth the effort necessary for me to
love you."
