TITLE: Turn My Blue Heart to Red
AUTHOR: Mari
RATING: NC-17
PAIRING: Michael Johns/David Cook
DISCLAIMER: Nothing that happens here is real.
SUMMARY: Oh, sure, it’s easy to be with someone when they’re healthy. This is such ridiculous, self-indulgent h/c that I can’t even.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Takes place between “When the Dawn Cracks” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.
AUTHOR’S NOTE 2: Someone please stop me. This time, the title comes from Robert Palmer’s “Bad Case of Loving You.” No, really.

( 'Relax,' David whispered, and placed a kiss the quivering skin between Michael's shoulder blades. )

TITLE: I Was Attracted to the Danger (But I Was Never Satisfied)
RATING: NC-17
AUTHOR: Mari
PAIRING: Carly/Michael/David
DISCLAIMER: None of this is real.
SUMMARY: Once upon a time, Carly Smithson was working at a Georgia bar called Fado at the same time that a musician called Michael Lee was playing there. That’s the kind of coincidence that you just don’t let go.

( Carly doesn't think about music any longer. )

TITLE: Three Months and I’m Still Standing Here
AUTHOR: Mari
RATING: NC-17
DISCLAIMER: None of this is real.
PAIRING: Michael Johns/David Cook
AUTHOR’S NOTES: Takes place after “When the Dawn Cracks”

( 'So.' Michael paused and took a good, long look at the scorch marks that now extended above his stove. )

TITLE: Like Danny and Rusty Do
AUTHOR: Mari
RATING: NC-17
PAIRING: Michael Johns/David Cook
DISCLAIMER: Not a jot of this is real.
SUMMARY: What, you think that nothing at all managed to happen in Vegas?

( David Cook was getting used to the rock star lifestyle. )

TITLE: When the Dawn Cracks
AUTHOR: Mari
RATING: R
PAIRING: Michael Johns/David Cook
DISCLAIMER: This is a wild-ass AU. Nothing that happens in it is real.
SUMMARY: David calls, and they try again. Takes place after “Black Bird Singing” and before “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
AUTHOR’S NOTES: Okay, here’s the thing. Sometimes an entire universe, and not merely a fic, will get into my head and refuse to let go. The last time that happened was a Blade fic called “Twilight People”. As it stands, the BBS-verse has the potential to beat even that one for number of fics written and word-count tallied.
AUTHOR’S NOTE 2: I can’t even tell you how many names this fic went through. It was going to be “When Love Comes to Town” up until the eleventh tour, because come on: B.B. King/U2 collaboration, musical orgasm, amirite? But Thea Gilmore’s “Call Me Your Darling” was a lot like “Blackbird” in the fic that spawned the universe in that it reared up, bit me, and then refused to go anywhere else.

( Michael did not think that he had ever been this scared before in his life. )
