Author's Notes: Set just before Tracy gets together with Paul Hornsby, around 1989. Written while I listened to Bjork's "Human Behaviour" over and over again…..good song for smut writing. PWP, dudes. I don't write them often, but here we go.

Word Count: 699 words
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Bound, gagged, and waiting for Helena Cassadine to come and kill her, Tracy Quartermaine has little else to do but think.
Author's Notes: Set April, 2005. This is done in stream of consciousness, Tracy's thoughts while she's tied to the wheelchair. Not my usual style, but hopefully it will be a good, quick read. (Probably just my reaction to that whole "plot" thing from the last prompt…. Gods, I'm so lazy!) Some mature content, but nothing overt.

The Gods of Love
Prompt: #11 Disgust
Word Count: 619 words
Rating: PG
Summary: A world-weary Tracy reflects on young love, in all its disgusting glory.
Author's Notes: Real life has made our girl a little cynical about love.

Rating: G

True to the Blood

Word Count: 2,376
Rating: G
Summary: Tracy's conversation with Robert doesn't reveal all that's going on inside of her.
Author's Notes: From the 7/11/06 episode. Tracy and Robert's last scene together, outside Kelly's, seemed incomplete to me. So, um, I finished it.

Prompt: #19 Crazy
Word Count: 3,922 words
Rating: PG
Summary: Tracy must meet with a therapist for six sessions after minor traffic stop turns ugly.
Author's Notes: Tracy in therapy. Come on--it had to be done. The flow may feel random; but that's how things go in therapy...she says...um...from what she's heard...

Just Like Precious
Prompt: #20 Love
Word Count: 842 words
Rating: G
Summary: It's a dog's life. And sometimes, even a dog can find love in the most unexpected places.
Author's Notes: Oh, the joys of creating a story around a throwaway line. Tracy was chasing the Willoughby's dog out of Lila's rose garden when she stumbled on to Dillon and Lulu in the boathouse.

A Brief History of Humanity
Prompt: #21 New
Word Count: 5,618 words
Rating: PG
Summary: Tracy celebrates New Year's Eve with her own private tradition.
Author's Notes: Okay, this is going into AU territory. According to everything I've read, the Qmaines didn't arrive in Port Charles until Alan was a resident at GH. So the flashback couldn't have happened the way it does here, since the family didn't live in Port Charles when Tracy was seventeen. I don't care. I'm running with it.

Beggar in the House of Plenty
Prompt: #22 Beggar
Word Count: 1,551 words
Rating: R
Summary: Tracy takes one last chance with Paul before things blow up forever.
Author's Notes: I totally didn't want to write this. There are some upsetting things in this story—mostly, Tracy in desperate!wife mode. It ain't pretty, but that's what the prompt created. Consent is there; joy is not. Time frame—early 90s. Tracy has just found out she's pregnant with Dillon.

Prompt: #23 False
Word Count: 14, 792 words
Rating: PG
Summary: After being suspended from his posh boarding school, Ned has a wild ride with his mother across the European countryside.

Happy
Prompt: #24 Happy
Word Count: 1,404 words
Rating: R
Summary: Luke and Tracy celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary.
Author's Notes: No plot whatsoever. Just future!fic of my Utopian vision of where Luke and Tracy will be in four years. Realists and pessimists need not apply. There is an NC17 version of this story at my LiveJournal.

The Monster on the Floor
Prompt: #25 Cancer
Word Count: 526 words
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Thoughts are a cancer, spreading, destroying, paralyzing.
Author's Notes: I started a completely different story for this prompt, then decided to save it elsewhere to write as an independent. This is a very dark little piece set in 1980. Tracy fans will probably know where I'm going with this one….

The Pickpocket and the Witch
Prompt: #26 Pickpocket
Word Count: 3,190 words
Rating: PG-13

Coco Robichaux and the Girl in the Little Blue Hat
Prompt: #29 Arrival
Word Count: words
Rating: PG
Summary: Tracy attends an opening night.
Author's Notes: I don't normally do crossovers, but I just got this little idea on how to connect Tracy to the YaYa Sisterhood. My timeline, based on the books, not the movie, would have Tracy as a contemporary of Siddalee (who is actually older than Sandra Bullock in the books).

As the Snow Falls
Prompt: #30 Fall
Word Count: 2,465 words
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A traumatic ordeal topples a dynasty, and forms a new and lasting bond between Luke and Tracy.
Author's Notes: AU. This was going to be a much longer story, but I decided to just write the pay-off scene and the hell with all that multi-chapter stuff.

Beautiful Flaws

Word Count: 4,165 words
Rating: PG-13

Title: A Very Good Afternoon
Prompt: #32 Torn

Rating: PG-13

Author's Notes: I've been resisting this, but seeing the clips of Laura's descent into catatonia forced me to go down this road. I'm not going to speculate. I'm just going to write. Warning: Chock Full O'Angst.
