If you actually want to friend me, don't worry, I am quite sure I would never say no :D Just comment :)

Because I am daft and also because I had so much fun when I did the Dirty Pretty Things icons for 50music, I claimed Carl at musicon100, so expect 100 Carl icons from me in the next couple of months. I am so glad that community has no time limit though, I know I wouldn't manage 100 icons in two months, as so many of those comms ask you to do. There were five sets of themes to choose from and I choose the Misc. set. Soyeah, now I need to make 100 Carl icons :D

All icons up for grabs, of course! All I ask for is a bit of credit, ta :D

PROGRESS: 025/100

( then someday when your bones break, and you don't know gifts from theft, drink yourself away one to my left )

Fic! Hah!

Uhm, this is a sequel to this Untitled angsty little thing.

Title: Sequel to Untitled angst!ficlet (1/2)
Pairing: Carl/Adam
Author's notes:This took me a bit longer, I had the rest of the story written already but loathed it, so this is completely different now. Short, as usual. Rambling angst. Sorry about the rambling thing ;) All mistakes my own, especially the awfully grammar ones. Oh, and Adam is a little Drama Queen apparently.
Disclaimer: I don't even own the key to Adam's treasure chest!

( Adam feels sick )

More fic! Hooray, I hope ;)

title: "What Became Of Forever?"
pairing: Carl/Adam, Carl/Peter
warning: Angst, although this was supposed to be way more angsty *pout* It's a little sappy as well, maybe? Not beta-ed :/ This whole thing sounded so much better in my head *pouts a little more*
Disclaimer: I do not own any of those boys. Sadly.

Belated beta-ed by quirky_kittens, thank you :)

( Adam falls for Carl the first time they meet )

Wooot! Version E is here, which means I fullfilled my promise of five different versions. But I know there will be even two more to come, because this one was rather an unplanned nagging little bunny :) And not the one I mentioned writing yesterday, I am still missing an end for that one. Plus, there is the one which was one of the originally planned five versions. Ohboy.

title: "Belgian Outback - Carl Finds Out, Version E"
pairing: Adam/Carl
summary: Carl finds out about the missing Adam the same way than in Version A BUT the reason for Adam going missing is different.
warning: Fluff, sap. The usual. Errr ... no plot? Silly little thing, as Belgian Outback was supposed to be but for some reason it ended up quite differently for most parts. So finally we are getting to the sillyness it was supposed to be ;P Not betaed, as you will see.
notes: This is for persikay because she put this bunny into my head. Okay, so for this version there is a combination of the original Belgian Outback and Version A still valid. The original story is valid until the point where Carl hears the police officer over the phone. Exaclty where Version A picks up the story. Version A then is valid up to the point where Carl is in the bus with Adam (Hooray, he can threaten Parker again. *snorts*). I hope this is not too complicated? Sorry about that.
Disclaimer: I am sure this is not how the whole thing went down when Adam went missing. And as I said before if I owned those two boys they'd be cleaning my bathroom naked, singing along to "Let's Hear It For The Boy"! Among other things!

Here are the links to the rest if you wanna catch up:

The original version of Belgian Outback!

And here are the links to the other versions of how Carl Found Out:
Carl Finds Out, Version A
Carl Finds Out, Version B
Carl Finds Out, Version C
Carl Finds Out, Version D

( No, listen, when I walked off that bus I was fully awake and knew exactly what I was doing. )

Look! Look! A fic :D And not just a fic, part of *the* fic :P

title: "Belgian Outback - Carl Finds Out, Version D"
pairing: Adam/Carl
summary: Adam does NOT go missing in Belgium, so this is Carl Finds Out with a twist ;) Which means nothing out of the original story is valid.
warning: Fluff, sap, the usual. Just a silly little thing really. Thrown in not too subtle awkward hints about amazing sex. ;P Plus, a way too sudden ending!
notes: OMG, Belgian Outback is back! My baby is back :) It left me for a whole fucking year but I promised marystmatthew five versions of how Carl found out Adam went missing, and here is number 4! I hope it won't be as long till the last one. Sadly this isn't up to the standard of the other parts but I am just so happy my bunnies for this came back, I don't mind too much. I only wish it would flow more, am still a bit on war path with my prose.
And heh, I had to reuse that one line about the bus again. It is fine if I am stealing from myself, right?
disclaimer: This is so not true because we all know Adam actually went missing in Belgium, so obviously I am lying!

Here is the original version of Belgian Outback!

And here are the links to the other versions of how Carl Found Out:
Carl Finds Out, Version A
Carl Finds Out, Version B
Carl Finds Out, Version C

( Why would the bus do such an unspeakable thing to such a sweet, lovely, uncomplaining passenger like you?” )

So, who is going to write Carl/Nate smut for me? Arrgh, I should not have read Mary's comments and the end of Version B again. *lol*

title: "Belgian Outback - Carl Finds Out, Version C"
pairing: Adam/Carl
summary: Well, Carl finds out Adam is missing.
warning: Fluff, sap. Angst?
notes: This ended up exactly like this because Mary asked for it. So blame her for vulnerable Adam, idiotic Carl and me trying to write angst. Apparently then it gets even sappier. But nevertheless I like it :) Except for one small part that is. Mary, I hope I didn't disappoint?
Everything except the very last scene in the original Belgian Outback story has happened for this. So there was Steven lying to Carl about Adam being on the bus, there was Parker pretending to be Adam and all that shit.
Not betaed. So all the awful grammar mistakes are my own.
disclaimer: The only Adam I own is my shiny little green iPod, and the only Carlos I own is my fucked up but pretty PC.

Here are the others:
Carl Finds Out, Version A
Carl Finds Out, Version B

Three done, two to go. Not that I have any clue what to do with one of them. It was a stupid idea. Can't I cut it down to four different versions?

( Oh honeypie, you are driving me frantic! )

[Am feeling| discontent]
[Am singing along to| "Midnight Flight" - Yeti]

title: "Belgian Outback - Carl Finds Out, Version B"
pairing: Adam/Carl
summary: Well, Carl finds out Adam is missing.
warning: Fluff, sap. The usual. And Adam sounding like a small child at times :P
notes: Argh! I got extremely frustrated with this and I am not really happy with half of it but I need to post it otherwise I'll just delete it all again. It also explains why the ending comes so quick, it was all planned differently but I just could not write it the way I wanted.
Okay, for this version you have to forget all the stuff which happens in the original Belgian Outback story. The only thing which still has happened is Adam going missing, of course. But none of the phone calls have happened at all. This is a whole other phone call now :P
disclaimer: You know, DPT cancelled the Mando Diao dates only so that Carlos can go on a month long caribbean cruise with his loverboy Adam.

Here is the first one: Carl Finds Out, Version A

Two done, three to go :) One is half written already.

( Pleasepickup.Pickup.Pickup.Comeonplease. )

Sorry for the shitty and sudden end there :/

title: "Belgian Outback - Carl Finds Out, Version A"
pairing: Adam/Carl
summary: Well, Carl finds out Adam is missing.
warning: Fluff, sap. The usual.
notes: Okay, because I am daft I promised Mary a 'Carl finds out about Adam missing' alternative. Thing is I am not only daft but insane and told her I'll write five different versions of how he finds out. Here is Version A. The original fic is valid up to the point where Carl is on the phone with Parker and hears the police officer spelling out Adam's name. I put that bit at the beginning of this fic.
disclaimer: BOLLOCKS!!!

Here is the original fic, just in case you want to catch up and know what this is all about anyway: Belgian Outback

( “I can walk on my own, okay?” Carl hisses and struggles out of Nate’s iron grip on his arm. )

As we all know our favourite crazy Indie Boy got lost in Belgium (in only his PJ's) last month during the latest tour through Europe. It's something that only can happen to Adam. Thankfully nothing happened to him and he was savely back with his band ten hours later after some nice Belgian guys drove him all the way to France for the next gig. Anyway, Mary and I had lots of fun thinking up crazy/funny bunnies about this yesterday, and here is one fic about it :P

title: "Belgian Outback"
pairing: Adam/Carl, although they are actually only in contact for the very last few sentences of the fic.
summary: Adam gets lost in Belgium and Steven and Parker are left to deal with Carl on the phone.
warning: crack!fic!! Many thoughts. And as usual not betaed and spell check still in a coma. I really do not know if this has turned out as funny as it could have been. But I did my best. I am just not made to write complete crack!fic.
notes: I said it before and I say it again: Mary and I should not be left alone. These kind of things are the result. We amused ourselves with thinking up this fic for ever yesterday. It doesn't have the end Mary wanted because it was just too crazy for me right now but I will try and write it as an alternative ending. Because it actually is the thing we laughed our heads off about the most yesterday.
disclaimer: Let me tell you what is actually true about this fic:
a) Adam was lost in Belgium. A missing person report was filed.
b) The tourbus was without AC because it had broken down, it was like a sauna.
c) Nobody got a lot of sleep.
d) Dirty Pretty Things are touring the States and have two gigs in NY.

You figure out what is not true. I am pretty sure it is not too hard.
visual help: Nate, Parker, Steven

( He wonders if he is supposed to add the endearment as well but stops himself just before he actually does. 'No, I have never heard Adam calling him that. And I am not about to call Carl Fucking Barât my love. It’s too much to ask for.' )
