Fic: Cobra Help Us All (Corset Variation 1) (Gabe/Spencer, 640 words, FRAO)

Title: Cobra Help Us All (Corset Variation 1)
Author: lakeeffectgirl and rsadelle
Pairing: Gabe/Spencer
Rating: FRAO
Word Count: 640
Disclaimer: Made up.
Summary: "You'll blow me," Spencer says, "but I'm not wearing the corset."
rsadelle's Notes: I mentioned that Gabe/Spencer was my new favorite odd bandom pairing, so lakeeffectgirl sent me her unfinished Gabe/Spencer piece to read. Then she said, "If you felt the desire to finish it, I wouldn't say no," which was an email I got just before I went to bed. So of course I thought of two different ways to finish it. This is the Spencer topping variation.

Summary: "Tell me if it's too much," he says, and then he's pulling on the laces. He starts at the top, and every tug cages Spencer's body a little more and makes it a little harder to breathe.
Warning: Minor breathplay.

POC Author: Justina Chin Headley, Girl Overboard

I owe a debt of gratitude to anitabuchan for reviewing Justina Chin Headley's Girl Overboard on 50books_poc because I would never have picked it up otherwise. I have, in fact, read the inside flap of another of Justina Chin Headley's books in the library and decided not to read it. Considering how great this book was and how much the back of the book doesn't match the contents, I'll definitely be reading more of her work.

Girl Overboard centers around Syrah Cheng. Her dad is billionaire and business book author Ethan Cheng, and her mother is his socialite second wife. When the story opens, Syrah is recovering from a knee injury that's keeping her from her one true love: snowboarding.

Over the course of the book, Syrah works her way through her friendship with the best friend she used to snowboard with, her injury, making a new friend, her relationship to food and her family, and learning to use her rich girl resources (including the Cheng drive to succeed along with the Cheng money) to help others.

I just loved this book. I read it in two short sittings and didn't want it to end.

My biggest quibble with the back of the book is that it says, "...her own so-called boyfriend is only after her for her father's name." ( Spoilers )

Don't bother with the back of the book blurb and skip straight to the book itself.

If you're interested, I have a copy I'm giving away. Just let me know and you can have it! If it's not claimed by next Monday, it's going back up on PaperBackSwap.

Plot Bunny of Two Months Ago: Angsty!Spencer Option 3

So I wrote this out over Twitter a while ago, and then dumped it into a text document I keep opening by accident. (Its name is too close to the thing I keep meaning to open.) So why not share it? (Then I can move the document elsewhere without feeling like I should have done something with it instead.) If you need a refresher (not that they're necessarily related), Angsty!Spencer Options 1 and 2 were in this post.
