Title: The River and the Highway
Fandom: Code Red Original Fiction
Pairing: Gen, Allyson Matson + Paulo Castelli
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,559
Summary: Ali’s thinking about her past.
Author’s Notes: I wrote this in 2008 after the anniversary of the death of a long-time friend, Tony. This fic has been on my mind lately because it deals with the memory of two deaths for my character, Ali. Her childhood friend and her first husband. Tomorrow would have been my 23rd wedding anniversary, so I’m thinking that’s what stirring all this emotion up. Title and lyrics from a song by Pam Tillis called “The River and the Highway”, one of my favorites. I always kind of fancied myself as the river, and now I think I've become her.

Author’s note: Written for the Weekend Challenge at 1_Million_Words for the prompt of: “Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.” Not sure how well I incorporated it into this fic. Also not sure that there’s much of a point to this fic either, but eh, when has there ever been a point to my writing? Should probably take this and run with it though, let them all have a little fun for the night.

Rating: PG for some language
Word Count: 1,637
New Words: 674
Summary: Ali’s boyfriend crosses the line and she kicks him to the curb.
Author’s Note: See here for a full dissertation on this series. This is part of an extremely old series that I started back in 2006 or so. This particular short was written exactly eight years ago yesterday (1/31/07). I got to a point where I made it halfway through a multi-chapter fic and just… stopped. I’m hoping that by reworking, reediting, and reposting these fics I can get back and finish that one that’s been languishing since February 2010. Eh, what’s five years, right?

Oh, and don’t have a heart attack… it’s het. Hah. (Well, up to a point it is… but you’ll see that when we get there.)

P. S. That's my Ali icon, btw.

( And so it begins... bring on Blake! )

Current Music: Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (in a Hot Dog on a Stick uniform)

Title: Fly, Little Bird

Short Summary: I was given the prompt of:

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay

in the 1_million_words community and this was my response. Ali ponders her history with Paulo, a dangerous, elusive bad guy that she shares an intricate past with.

Current Music: Always the Love Songs - Eli Young Band

The prompt was:

Munificent (adjective)
mu·nif·i·cent [myoo-nif-uh-suhnt]

adjective
1. extremely liberal in giving; very generous.
2. characterized by great generosity: a munificent bequest.

--
Blake was many things, she knew – arrogant, childish, often drunken – but there was one thing he was not and that was selfish. Not with his money, not with his time, and definitely not with his heart. He had an awful lot of faults but at the center of it all, he was a damn good man. Ali had more than enough proof of that.

“What are you doing, Blake?” Ali had wandered out of the kitchen, cereal bowl still in hand, to find her husband making a disaster of her finally clean living room.

Blake looked up from a pile of parts and plastic pieces, a set of assembly instructions in one hand. “Building something,” he said.

Current Music: Watching Airplanes - Gary Allan

Title: Untiltled
Pairing: Ali + Blake, Adam/Blake
Rating: G
Word Count: 2803 (holy crap!)
Warnings: Just my usual crackhead humor

Short Summary: Blake runs into his ex-wife after 18 months. Adam is not prepared.

Author’s Notes: I follow this wonderful blog on Tumblr and after reading the tags on this post, I couldn't help myself. Back in 2007, I started an original fic based on one of my favorite characters, Ali, and a man I loosely based on the real Blake. This story is, in a sense, an AU of my own original fic. But it's also a bit of RPF. So, yeah. Weird. But um, well, you are on MY blog after all. Enjoy or not. Helpful critiscm or outright rotten tomatoes may be hurled here: asphaltcowgrrl@aol.com

Current Music: This is Gonna Take All Night - Blake Shelton

Okay, so this prompt has a hold of me. Sorry. (Regretting friending me yet? Hmm...)

This time, we have my two favorite original characters, Ali and her husband, Blake. Blake's annoying, obnoxious, loud and sexy as hell because, well, most annoying men are. Right? But, underneath it all, he has a heart of gold and nothing but love for his tough-as-nails wife.

Fandom: Code Red (original work)
Pairing: Ali/Blake
Rated: G (not nearly as lame, I don't think, as the previous post LOL)

“I should beat you for this!”

“But you won’t.” He grinned, knowing it was true.

“But I should. I could. You deserve it,” she seethed.

“You’re right, I do.” Blake still grinned. He knew his Cookie and her temper. She’d forgive him. Eventually.

“I could also shoot you,” she warned, motioning towards the gun locker in their room.

“But then you’d have to find a new husband,” he countered.

“Says you,” she faltered.

He turned those brilliant blue eyes on her and she felt her anger crack. Damn him. “Damn you, Blake.”

“See, you do love me.”

She did.
--

Oh, and as for what Blake did to piss her off? Who knows. With him, it could honestly be anything. At least he's not threatening to cook their pet pig this time...

Ali’s Journal ~ 19 May 2011

I believe. It’s true, I really do.

Even when it’s hard, even when it sucks, most assuredly even when it’s not fair.

I still believe.

I believe in the American Dream. I believe in happiness. I believe in family. I trust in a higher power.

And, despite it all, I still believe in love.

Even if he doesn’t, not any longer.

Why? Because he gave me reason to believe, in the beginning. Now, I must have faith that this broken promise will see me through to the other side.

Where I’ll find hope again.
