Not Quite Stalking - Part Eleven

Notes: Yep, it’s an update. I’ve been freakishly busy with school, and I’m doing NanoWrimo for the first time this year. And I can’t decide the plot to save my life. i.e.: The original protagonist is now a bit character and I am slowly going mad. This post may seem pretty lame, but I haven’t posted fanfic in over two months, I think, so I’m rusty.

Enjoy.

When Summer woke up the next morning, something strange happened.

Title: Time Won’t Let Me Go - Part 3
Fandom: The O.C.
Author: sweet-x-nightmare
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: about 4,100
Disclaimer: Don't own it. Title and lyrics are from a song by The Bravery, which I obviously don't own either.
Pairings: Ryan/Marissa, minor (failing) Ryan/Taylor, some Seth/Summer and other pairings
Summary AU. Time is a fickle thing. While some hours feel like they drag on forever, others seem to slip right through your fingers - and Marissa Cooper knows this better than anyone.

Notes: In the inevitable boredom that came with writer's block, I thought about this fic way too much, and I've decided to expand on it quite a bit more. This post is mainly centred on the present. Enjoy, and tell me what you think. Also, join

Title: Such Great Heights (oneshot)
Fandom: The O.C.
Author: Me (sweet-x-nightmare)
Pairings: Ryan/Marissa, brief mentions of others

Title: Not Quite Stalking - Part Ten
Fandom: The O.C.
Author: xsweetnightmare/sweet-x-nightmare
Rating: PG-13, suitable for most people except your mum
Pairings: Ryan/Taylor, Seth/Summer, Marissa/Villain Senior/I dunno. (Man, it sounds like Friends...)
Summary: AU. The guy she had so eloquently just revealed her life story to abruptly seemed distracted. “I’m vibrating,” he said absent-mindedly, and quickly realised what he had said. “I mean my phone. Is vibrating. Not me.”

Notes: This chapter took a while, but meh…hopefully it’s interesting. Shameless self-pimping: I have a new RT fic up called Maintenance. (F-locked at the moment as it's a shiny new WIP, but it's also on FFnet.) It’s different in tone to this, I guess. Knock yourself out reading it.

Author: Me. (sweet-x-nightmare)
Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, including the lyrics used, which are property of Paramore.
Summary: AU, oneshot at this point. She’s pretty much stuck, locked into place; but isn’t that what Hollywood is all about? He’s completely different, a stranger. And it’s far more interesting that way. Based on the song Fences by Paramore.

Rating: Teen.
Pairings: Ryan/Marissa, Seth/Summer
Prompt: #41 - Wealth for 100 women
Disclaimer: Title is a lyric from With Me by Sum 41, I don't own The OC, nor do I endorse student/teacher relationships.
Warnings: Language, themes, and obviously a student/teacher relationship. If this is gonna scar you for life then don't read it.

Summary: It’s no secret that Marissa Cooper has everything. So when she meets a certain stranger, he’s something of a novelty, to be enjoyed from a distance. Right? Another twist on the student-teacher idea. AU RM, minor SS

Author: Maree McNerd (xsweetnightmare/sweet-x-nightmare)
Rating: PG-13. Suitable for most people except your mum.
Pairings: Ryan/Taylor, Seth/Summer, Marissa/Villain Senior (though screwing with original characters is fun, so I dunno.)

Summary: RyanTaylor. AU. The guy she had so eloquently just revealed half her life story to abruptly seemed distracted. “I’m vibrating,” he informed her absent-mindedly, then quickly realised what he had said. “I mean, my phone. Is vibrating. Not me.”

Notes: So, this chapter: Henri-Michel gets lost, moar Gary, Dylan gets owned, RT stay late at the office and we see a random new character that, at this point in time, I have no clue what to do with. And Seth and Summer, of course, formulate a plan.

Author’s Note: Just a pointless idea I’m testing out. This is the prologue, hence its shortness, and I was supposed to be asleep two hours ago.
