Title: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
Author: meatball42.livejournal.com
Fandom: NCIS
Rating: PG
Characters/pairings: Tony/[Lieutenant Commander Voss/Amanda Reed], Kate, Gibbs, Ducky
Warnings (including spoilers): Massive spoilers for S1E19 'Dead Man Talking.' Mild transphobia, no more than what was on the show.
Prompt: Tony was clearly upset about having kissed a MtF transexual, but it wasn't because Amanda Reed used to be a guy; it was because she murdered a good friend of his. Of course, playing up that he hated kissing a guy is good cover in a pseudo-military organization, too.
Summary: Tony couldn't stop thinking that he'd kissed the man who killed his friend.

I posted on Wednesday anonymously, but it didn't work apparently, so here the story from Wednesday again:

Title: Partners
Author: jolinarjackson
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing/characters: John Hart/Jack Harkness
Rating: PG
Prompt: Torchwood, any character, Meeting Jack means having at least one person who accepts them for who they are
Warnings: Hints at omniphobia and homophobia
Summary: John blushed and looked away, embarrassed by Handsome's honesty. Nobody had ever called him a good man. Nobody had called him a good anything aside from Janiqua … his sweet Janiqua.

And today's.

Title: Negotiating
Author: jolinarjackson
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing/characters: Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones
Rating: R
Prompt: Torchwood, Ianto, He's afraid that the reason his emotional relationship with Jack isn't ideal is because he doesn't like sex nearly as much as Jack does
Summary: Jack asked, "Don't you want to tell me why you're unhappy?" And Ianto answered without thinking, "Because this isn't what I want."

Thanks but can you add the fic title into the title of the post like on the other posts? At the moment it just has fandom and pairing.
