Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,715
Summary: Zayne and Andrej have a disturbing case and need to decompress.

Title: Anti-Hero (Reyes’ Version)
Pairing: Zayne Reyes, Andrej Zeklos, James Rosewood, in several forms
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4,378
Summary: Zayne progresses through several stages of his life in varying levels of self-awareness.
Author’s Note: Written for the songfic challenge at 1_million_words. I ran with the very first song prompt – Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” because a) I love the song and b) it fits Zayne so well.  I even made a playlist that you can find here.

Title: Burn Cowboy, Burn
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Gen
Rating: PG-13 for some foul language
Word Count: 4,480
Summary: Zayne and Hilary have broken up and Andrej’s taking it harder than Hilary is.
Author’s note: Written for the songfic challenge at 1_million_words. This got a bit angsty, but I blame it on the song I used as inspiration – “Burn Butcher Burn” from The Witcher, season 2. You can find a fanvid of the song here. You’re welcome. Also, Joey Batey is amazing. Oh, and Andrej is a little out of character here, but not out of the realm of possibility either.

Title: Tempted
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 870
Summary: Andrej hates how much he’s drawn to Zayne because he knows Zayne will never look at him in the same way. Pre-relationship angst ahoy.
Author’s Notes: Written for the weekend challenge at 1_million_words. My prompt was, “His beauty has always maddened me. I think I idealize him in my mind when I’m not with him; but then when I see him again I’m overcome.” I think I’ve managed to express that.

And my goofy as heck Friday Five post is up here

Summary: Andrej’s driving home from Phoenix late at night when he spots something – or possibly someone – on the side of the road.

So… I thought I’d sit down and work on some notes for that plot bunny I had the other day. Although I knew I wanted Hilary and Trish to set up a dating profile for Zayne, that was all I knew. Where do I go from there? I had no idea, so I grabbed my book, Tarot for Writers by Corrine Kenner and started small.

Title: Without You
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Andrej Zeklos + Zayne Reyes (pre-relationship)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,765
Summary: Andrej knows that Zayne will never return his feelings, but sometimes, just having him around to beat the loneliness was enough.
Author’s Notes: Written for the weekend challenge at 1_million_words. My prompt was: With Character A there, everything seemed brighter, and Character B no longer felt loneliness weighing so heavily upon their shoulders. Thought this fit well with Andrej and Zayne.

Title: Take a Shot
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3,520
Summary: It’s a quiet day in the bar until two detectives walk in.
Author’s Note: Written for sharpiesgal because she’s amazing and because she thought Elias needed his own series. So, what better way to start than by introducing him to Andrej? Totally unbetad and the last half I didn’t even reread because I wanted to get this posted before Christmas. Let me know if you see any glaring goofs on my part.
