Title: Straight On ‘til Morning
Pairing: CrissColfer
Author: hellonik
Rating: PG-13
Word length: roughly 12, 000
Warnings: rpf. boys with feelings. (of course.) a truly gratuitous amount of food throughout. that’s literally it.
Summary: Wherein nothing happens. No, really. Or: AU where Darren works in an off-beat music store, for a given definition of the term, in LA, and Chris has just relocated. They meet, inevitably, and some sort of courtship ensues. Inevitably. (title taken from Peter Pan.)author’s note: guys. i’m incredibly sorry for how long this took me? i would also like to point out that this is partially a love letter to all the amazing places to eat in LA. i - apologize? i really hope this, at the very least, makes you smile.<3 if you do enjoy it, please feel free to let me know – you can’t possibly know how much i love to hear from you.
music: in order of appearance | references to Penny Lane - The Beatles | Slow It Down - The Lumineers | Down In The Valley - The Head and the Heart | I Want to Break Free - Queen | The Gambler - Fun.
an abundance of gratitude for: Trish, because i promise you, had it not been for her and her shameless enabling, this would not have happened. as always, Certaintendencies and Aubreyli, who are steadfastly patient and ever-encouraging. my inner-circle of pre-readers – which includes Trish and Certaintendencies, and also Yaya and K. (and so many others, who didn’t pre-read this time.) especially because they helped me find the right song for the ending. my shiny new beta, Grey, who did so, so great with this and my particular brand of writer-crazy, his first time out (with me). and literally everyone who i’ve talked to about this and who has been both encouraging and enthusiastic. i would greatly love to kiss each and every one of you on the face, beautiful, beautiful human beings.<3
i’d also like to say an official good bye to Mocha, in beta-capacity only, of course – we’ve been through some times, my darling. your support has facilitated in getting every single one of my previous fics posted. i love you to bits. always.<3
disclaimer: i make no profit from this work of fiction. and it is just that - a very creatively licensed work of fiction that did not happen and is entirely made up by my over-active imagination. both Chris and Darren are actual people and this is not Stranger Than Fiction so this is not true, real, nor dictating or documenting anyone’s actual life, etc., etc.

i’ll see you all soon, hopefully?
wish me luck~
title: Reckless
pairing: CrissColfer
author: hellonik
rating: NC-17
word length: roughly 2, 000
disclaimer: i make no profit from this work of fiction. and it is just that - a very creatively licensed work of fiction that did not happen and is entirely made up by my over-active imagination. both Chris and Darren are actual people and this is not Stranger Than Fiction so this is not true, real, nor dictating or documenting anyone’s actual life, etc, etc.
warnings: semi-public sex between two males. in a car. a.k.a. roadhead!fic. whoops?
summary: Chris has a little less self-control these days. Thankfully, Darren’s got none at all. There might be a correlation, there.
a/n: Yaya prompted CrissColfer roadhead fic and i am powerless to deny her anything. also, there is the fact that it’s a major kink of mine and Darren looks better driving a car than any person has any right to. unbeta’d. maybe not my first time writing smut but definitely the first time since i re-engaged in fandom. please forgive me if it’s awful.
most profound gratitude for every person i sent this to and who responded with enthusiastic reassurance - Deej, Beck, Mox, Aubrey, Certaintendencies, and, of course, Yaya. you’re all my very favorite perverts and everyone can either blame or thank you for the fact that they’re actually seeing this.<3
think of this as an apology for the lack of fic in the last few months - i’m working on something now, i just hope you’ll all forgive the long wait.

Simply because Nik is one of the most amazing Crisscolfer writers out there and if you’ve never read Taking Root then you need to drop everything right now and go read it.
I’m not even kidding. Go!
Deej, you beautiful human being. thank you so much, oh my God. this is amazing ugh let me love you<3

rating: G
word length: 650
disclaimer: i do not own Kurt, Blaine, Glee, or any other characters mentioned from Glee herein. i make no profit from this work of fiction, etc, etc.
summary: 3x22 reaction ficlet.
a/n: i actually wrote this the night of the finale, but i didn’t post it. so here it is, far too late. i just need to do something with it because it’s been sitting in my docs without purpose and it’s bothering me. short, bit of angst, entirely unbeta’d, and rife with feelings. so. ye be warned, i suppose. i hope you enjoy it, no matter how irrelevant it is at this point.<3
endless gratitude to a lot of people, oh God. this - or variations of it - was dropped into a lot of different people’s submits so. if i sent this to you, thank you so much for being so tolerant of my word-vomit. i know for sure i need to mention Aubreyli, Certaintendencies, fairiesandmilkshakes, and kobean. if i forgot you, i ask for your forgiveness and express my thanks. it was an emotional night/week, so i promise it’s not personal.

summary: It’s 4th of July.
a/n: yet another unbeta’d, short, fluffy, painfully self-indulgent ficlet. since 4th of July just passed, which is only significant if you live in the US, i am aware, but still, i thought i’d throw something out there. also, sort of an apology for how absent i’ve been lately. thank you for sticking around. i hope this will make you smile, even just a little.<3
my gratitude to Certaintendencies for reading this over. she’s lovely.

Title: Taking Root
Pairing: CrissColfer
Author: hellonik
Rating: light R
Word length: roughly 24, 000
Warnings: rpf. a little angst. Chuck Criss cameo. boys with an abundance of ~feelings.
Summary: Darren’s having an existential crisis and drags Chris along with him while he tries to figure himself out. A road-trip of sorts happens, incidentally. vaguely inspired by Richard Siken, especially specifically You Are Jeff.
author’s note: well, okay, this was supposed to be part of the CrissColfer Big Bang but events transpired against me so here it is, months later. It’s the longest thing I’ve ever posted and I’m still trying to figure out why people let me post things at all. nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy this and if you do I hope you tell me – you’ve no idea how appreciative and grateful I am when I get feedback.<3
there are a few quotes/references to Richard Siken and a song from Avatar the Last Airbender which I think is called Don’t Fall in Love with a Traveling Girl. the lyrics might be slightly off since I typed by ear.
effusive thanks to Certaintendencies, as always, who offered much-appreciated concrit and who also drew a piece of art for this because she’s lovely and wonderful;Aubreyli, who I can assure you was both ruthless and absurdly helpful while she read through and stripped this story down to what you see, which is impossibly improved from the mess it was before, and I am pathetically grateful to her; Mocha, my beta, who actually keeps me sane while I write and then proceeds to correct all my mistakes. I want to kiss all of you on the mouth. you’re lovely and if it weren’t for all three of you this would be a disaster.

art is here - go, see, stare, weep with envy. it’s perfect.
additional art is here - by my darling Deej - i can’t tell you how emotional i got or how much i love it to absolute bits.
and additional additional art: x x x x | there are literally no words for how floored i was by these - i am so grateful and so humbled and really, truly, thank you is not nearly enough but - thank you, all of you.<3
