Author's Note: This is one of my submissions to the Winter Lovin' contest. In the spirit of ringing in the New Year, what's better than looking back at TV's edgy moments in sex and celebrating them. I wasn't thinking of it throughout the year, so if you like it enough to want one next year, I'll keep it in mind throughout 2014. In any case, vote it up if you...
"Peter? Peter Holladay? The dentist is ready to see you now. Second one on the left, okay?" I looked up from my phone and turned on my best confident-but-cool smile, but Amy had already turned away to field an incoming call. I mooched down the hall trying not to let that sting, but when you're eighteen every time a girl doesn't even notice you're alive you...
Chapter 2 - The Woods Vidon awoke the next day in his tent, which he shared with several other soldiers. Between the early morning wake up call for soldiers and Lady Arya, Vidon knew he wasn't going to be getting much sleep. Vidon got out of bed and did as every other sole present did, got changed into their armour and head off to quickly grab some breakfa...
**Spoiler alert: contains spoilers through Season 8, Episode 4 of Game of Thrones. The feast was well underway at Winterfell. The Dornish wine was flowing freely.

I was sitting in the crappy rexine seat, my face in my hands, at my wits end. An hour ago, I had been a successful start-up founder with my gorgeous and intelligent loyal wife by my side, heading towards the greatest deal of my life. A deal that could make me a millionaire if not a billionaire. But now here I was, in a totally different situation. Having wat...
Disclaimer: I do not own Game of Thrones. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. ***** Daenerys blinked a few times in disbelief and then asked, "What?" Arya smirked and then cheerfully recapped, "I single-handedly killed Cersei, won you the Throne. Then, out of gratitude, you offered me anything I wanted. I'm here to collect." There wa...
Harriet Kono sat in her lab frantically twisting the ends of her long dark hair. For the second time this year she had lost control of her cerebral enhancer project. She blamed unknown variables in the new software and the unfamiliar and strangely alien hardware that was thrust on her by Imperial Corporation. But mostly she blamed Kent Orlando. "You and yo...
/ /Author's Note: This story, Terrible Company, is sprawling sword-and-sorcery fantasy satire with a diverse cast of characters. Over its many chapters, those characters will have interactions (both with each other and others) that cross many of the lines that exist between Lit genres. I have come to believe that breaking the story into those different categ...
Author's note: The story has three chapters. The first and second chapters set the stage for the two characters. The third chapter is the "action." If you want a quality read, start from the beginning. If you want to get right to it, start from chapter 3. Thank you! ***** 1. "Professor, just so that I'm clear, you want us to write an argumentative essay i...
Hannah Chen wore her version of a power suit -- a cute polyester blouse with a pencil office skirt and heels -- as she made her way up the building. This was a nerve wracking experience, despite her outward confidence. Last week she had interviewed with the hiring manager. Today she would be meeting with the boss. When the elevator door opened, a rush of ad...
