( Before he could say no, his fingers were pushing through her golden locks and the tip of his tongue was pressing against hers. )

Title: Four and a Half Months or How a Relationship Blossomed Over the Changing Seasons
Author: certainswagger
Rated: PG
Summary: "I'm leaving." She says it like she just said I'm hungry. He holds back his reaction. It's only been four and a half months, after all.
Notes: No background information, not written for characterization, more or less just this vision I had in my mind and it just wouldn't leave. Also, written to the songs "To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra and also to "I'll Be Waiting" by Lenny Kravitz. I recommend both to enhance reading pleasure.

( I just wish we'd realized it sooner, y'know? )

Title: So Jealous
Author: certainswagger
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: canon Peter/Claire

Author: certainswagger
Rating: PG-13 (for this chapter)
Warnings: canon Peter/Claire
Spoilers: Up through "How To Stop an Exploding Man"
Notes: My muse deserted me for the last 4 months? I think it has. But here I am, back to it with Paire deliciousness. Oh, and be aware, something might actually happen in this chapter. But you'll have to read to find out, won't you? The fact that they're going to see PotC is a bit outdated - just go with it.

Rating: PG-13 (for this chapter)
Warnings: canon Peter/Claire
Spoilers: Up through "How To Stop an Exploding Man"
Notes: I know this took me forever to put up (it's not that great and it's not very long) but I've been without my muse for quite some time now. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it - I'll try not to take as long to finish the next chapter.

Title: Close Encounters of the Related Kind
Chapter: Chapter 3 Of Bare Bodies and Hot Showers
Author: certainswagger
Rating: M (just some allusions to sex. Nothing too graphic.)
Warnings: canon Peter/Claire
Notes: An Invitation to Sin is a real book by Suzanne Enoch. This chapter isn't quite as humorous as the past two; I figure you need a good balance of comedy and angst (it also doesn't help that I wrote this listening to Damien Rice). Aaaand, we get some Peter POV, too. Enjoy!!
