Kris shows up on Adam's tour, and decides to stay. I'm usually wary when an author discloses that whatever you're about to read is their first fic, but I'm so glad I went ahead and read this anyway. This is such a thoroughly satisfying read: great characterizations, perfect pacing and story development, solid writing. It may be her first, but I certainly hope it wasn't her last!

“No one ever picks up on me, that’s the thing. I’m always the one doing it. Maybe if someone would step up to the plate and ask me out for once… I wish they would.” An AU in which Kris is a college barista, Adam works for a gay magazine, and all Kris really wants is that first date.

After years of working to break into the music industry, Adam is starting to let his bill-paying waiter job become more like a career. And then American Idol winner Kris Allen comes into his restaurant. This may be one of my favorite Kris/Adam stories ever! In fact, I think I may just have to read it again today just because I can!

Gummi Bears! Or, more precisely, Kris and Adam AS gummi bears! Don't try to understand it -- just go read. I promise it's both ridiculous and amazing!

A fusion with Philip Pullman's
His Dark Materials trilogy; I had this tab open forever and hadn't read it because I'm only marginally familiar with the source material. But it doesn't really matter, because either way this story is FABULOUS!

This is dark and a bit disturbing, but the language and the imagery are strangely and starkly beautiful.
Friends With Benefits by

Adam is pretty horrible at being a personal assistant or receptionist, or whatever it is that he is, exactly. But that's okay, because Kris is pretty horrible at being a rock star.
