NEW FIC POSTED: Street Lights and the Quiet of Darkness (Boondock Saints)
Street Lights and the Quiet of Darkness: 4,985. Boondock Saints. Murphy starts dreaming about his brother with the same kind of clarity in which they’ve dreamed about becoming the Saints. Is this a higher power trying to tell him something? And is Connor dreaming too?
So this one is not Rickyl, but it’s Boondock Saints, so close enough, right? :) And fully disclosure, I posted this awhile ago, but just got around to putting it up on Tumblr. Oh well, right?

Yearly Challenge
Bingo cards- This is a year long challenge, and anyone can join at anytime.Click here to sign up. 1lostone will send you your card. This works sort of like the bingo challenges of yesteryear- you have to produce a fanwork (or fanworks) with the indicated theme to earn a ‘Bingo’- diagonally, vertically or horizontally. You can use as many or as few fanworks as you want to fill the slots and you can use chapters of longer works if you like, and there’s no minimum or maximum word count. This challenge is open to any kind of fanwork creator, including writers, artists, gifmakers, vidmakers, podficcers, and even betas, so anyone can join!
Once you have a ‘BINGO’ (whatever you consider this to be… any line, full card, etc.) you are encouraged to post your work(s) in our challenge collection, listing in the notes which BINGO spaces you’ve filled. You may fill your card through doing one fanwork per space, one fanwork that covers three spaces, or one fanwork that does the whole card! Any combination is allowed- the point is to just EMBRACE THE RICKYL.
Have any other questions about the challenge? Send 1lostone an ask or come to our forum to discuss the challenge!
Today marks the one year anniversary of A Little Time Spent with Maurice. 3652 Words. This is a (hopefully) cute little fic about the lost winter when the group holds up in a Maurice's and they have a little fun with Daryl in a dress. I wrote this mainly because I am such a SUCKER for confident and totally sexy, but manly, men in dresses. If that’s your thing, check it out!
During the winter, the group finds themselves holed up in a shopping center and they have to do something for entertainment.

Daryl wants to tell Rick how he feels, but it has to be perfect. He's got everything planned, and it's going to be amazing, the stuff love stories are made out of, and he's going to be smooth and cool and sexy and seduce Rick with his charms. Well, that's how it's supposed to go, anyway.

get all the sighs and moans just right (sourwolf): 1902 Words
Daryl's a complete loudmouth when it comes to sex, and everybody hates it except for Rick.
[A very late birthday present for the lovely Sorran based on the prompt: "sexually confident Daryl is a screamer, and he doesn't give two shits who hears him."]
