I'll be your Gypsy Lane

Title: You Get the Last Word
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: PG-13
Words: ~2000
Summary: And they saunter vaguely back towards real life.
Notes: Thanks to the_reverand for looking over this! Any fail is all mine.
Takes place directly after One Day We'll Look Back And... Masterlist for this universe is here.
Oh! And the thing that gets bought in the shop is courtesy of silent_fields :D

( This morning felt suspiciously like goodbye... )

So map_of is FANTASTIC and drew Roadtrip!Jones and has kindly given me permission to show it off. :D

Title: You'd Save Me From the Aliens
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: just shy of NC-17
Words: ~900
Summary: Just a hotel with no heat and some almost-porny ridiculousness.
Notes: Bon voyage, eggnogged! Who I hope gets to see this one way or the other before she goes, as I'm very eleventh-hour and full of fail. Unfortunately not terribly occasion-appropriate except that it's cold. This is set in early 1999 and takes place in Rennes, France, which you'd really only know if you've ever been there and had a galette saucisse, also known as The Best Thing You'll Ever Eat With a Hangover.

I thought I'd collect all the Roadtrip bits and pieces in one place.

Everything supposedly leads up to Someone Like You, which was the first one written. It's probably going to end up with some re-writes along the way as I seem to keep breaking little bits of it.

In chronological order:

I Wondered What You Were (October 1997) for booshbattle - the first time Dan hears Jones's music.
One Day We'll Look Back And... (March 1998) ~8500 words, NC-17
I'll Learn Eventually (missing scene from ODWLB, aka Shower Porn) 2342 words, NC-17
My Eyes are Brown and it's Backwards Anyway (dialogue-only silliness later in the ODWLB trip) 226 words, R
You Get the Last Word (the end of the trip) 2026 words, PG-13
These Are Our Times (Italy, August 1998) 1050 words, R
This Wasn't On My List (Santa!Dan, Xmas 1998) 986 words, R
You'd Save Me From the Aliens (France, early 1999) 913 words, nearly NC-17
Someone Like You (post-series, late 2005/early 2006) ~1400 words, PG-13
Apochryphal bonus track: Some Assembly Required (May 2006) 200 words, PG

Title: These Are Our Times
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: R?
Words: 1050
Summary: Something about an open window in a hotel in Rome.
Notes: This was supposed to be done quite a bit earlier in order to soothe the_reverand's bad day, but maybe it's just as well that it's late because it's a bit heart-hurty-er than I thought it would be. Er. Anyway, this is another short that got massively out of hand, and I kind of didn't want to stop even when I did. Set to Beirut's Postcards From Italy, which was also Rev's idea. <3

This takes place late-summer-ish in the same year as One Day We'll Look Back And... (which occurs in March if anyone's keeping track) but is sort of a director's-cut extra due to being Jones's POV. Masterlist for this universe is here.

( It's too hot to shut the window, really even too hot for clothes. )

Bout damn time I put this here, oops.

Title: Someone Like You
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: PG-13
Words: ~1400
Summary: Dan and Jones post-series, with history, and the broken bits going back together. Sort of.
Notes: Originally written for the booshbattle Music Scuffle here. silent_fields' prompt was the New Order song 'Someone Like You,' hence the clever title. This is the fic that spawned the Roadtripverse in all its prequel-ific glory, and may be subject to minor change at any point as I get deeper and deeper into Jossing my own ending.

Title: I'll Learn Eventually
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: NC-17!
Words: 2342
Notes: This is Roadtrip shower porn, actually a missing scene from One Day We'll Look Back And... itself that occurs between the last two sections. Which means there is rimming. And irresponsible quoting of the Smiths. Fair warning.
Happy Porn Monday, and happy late birthday to evil_kingdom, happy actually-on-time birthday to ftw302, and happy early birthday to perplexed_angel! It's like, here, I got you a copy of my own favorite record, and you all have to share it! XD But better than nothing, right? And it is actually 300% pornier than what I usually manage, so hopefully there's enough to go round. Thanks for being born, pretties. <3

This Wasn't On My List
Dan/Jones, R, 986 words.
This is for the_reverand, who I made want Santa!Dan. It was supposed to be for the boosh_shorts holiday challenge, but it absolutely refused to be 200 words. It also absolutely refused to be the crack I was expecting and turned into a big angsty/soppy Roadtrip wank. :P Not with any actual wanking, though there is a bit of groping. This'll be about 8 months after the end of One Day We'll Look Back And... I think it can stand on its own, but for the uninitiated, it's 7 years pre-series and therefore Dan's a bit less bitter than you might otherwise find him.

( He looks like something off the Island of Misfit Toys. )

This is what happens when Porn Monday and Fluff Tuesday violently collide and wake up to find it's actually Wednesday and they can't find their pants.

It's a missing scene from One Day We'll Look Back And... (Christycrap, it's got its own tag now)

Pretty much self-indulgent dialogue-only non-porn porn. Rated R, I guess? This takes place during the mythical Belfast visit, not that you can tell where they are at all.
