Beta'd by the wonderful suki_blue. Thank you dearest! You're wonderful!

Notes: First of all, I want to point out that this is a story that's a crossover with The Stand. As such, just about everyone and their brother has died. Died as in dead. D-E-A-D. It is a death!fic! There are a few graphic descriptions of certain people's deaths and other iggy things that happen. While I can, and will promise you that the main pairing, Horatio/Speed, have made it through the Flu, just about everyone else is dead.

I don't want to ruin the surprise for people, but just the fact that this is crossed over with The Stand should give people the clue that not many people made it through the Flu. I just didn't want someone to read this and go "Why didn't you say it was a deathfic?" It is! So don't say I didn't warn you!

And while it is a death fic, I gotta say it's still awfully fluffy. Sort of. You won't want to slash your wrists or anything. There's hope at the end of it, at least I think so. I know I'm spoiling y'all even more by saying that but I'm the type of person who sees Death Fic as a warning and shies away and I didn't want to scare y'all too badly.

So ... yeah. Hope you like the story! And that's just odd to say about a death fic. ~rolls eyes at self~

Title: A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste
Author: amejisuto
Fandom: CSI: Miami
Pairing: Horatio/Speed
Rating: R
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Highlight for Warnings: **

This story centers around the events of Lost Son, so yeah character death issues. Get the snot rags out. If I did this right, I'm gonna make you sniffle at the very least.

**
Summary: What if Horatio would have found the right words to give Speed the strength to stay alive after being shot? What if he didn't? A look at the If Onlys.
Beta'd by the wonderful suki_blue! And many thanks to azurehart and calic0cat for going over this story too. I was mean and wanted opinions on what would make y'all cry the most.

Notes: This story started out with two ideas. One is one of the bits of the fic, the one with Speed humming. You'll know it when you see it. The other was the idea that just about everyone who writes Horatio/Speed has to write a fic dealing with Lost Son at some point in time. It's one of those rules, like if you love Spike/Xander you have to rewrite School Hard at some point, and most Tony DiNozzo fans write something around Boxed in. So yeah, here is my version. I used to read Marvel's What If ... ? comics a lot as a kid so this is a What if ... sort of thing. I used some dialog from the transcripts of the show itself, just to be accurate. Well, up until I change things.

Oh, I also used a line from a different show, virtual peanut butter cookies to whoever can find it. And while my Buffy readers know very well that I have an obsession with using Meat Loaf songs as inspiration and titles, this fact may be new to some people. I actually wrote most of this story while listening to this song and all three Bat Out of Hell CD's over a long period of time since I got stuck in the middle. Anyhoo, hope you like it!

Title: The Friday Night Drive

Fandom: CSI Miami
Pairing: Horatio/Speed
Rating: PG

Warnings/Squicks: Umm, motorcycles and fluffiness maybe?
Summary: Two men and a motorcycle.
Beta'd by the wonderful suki_blue. Thank you dearest!

Notes: This is just a fluffy little ficlet based on a mental image of a motorcycle going over the bridges that connects the Keys to the mainland of Florida. I've never been there though, so if I get something wrong, I'm truly sorry about that folks. It's meant with great love for the area. It sounds damn pretty, even if it is warm and sunny down there.

Title: Ring Tone

Fandom: CSI: Miami
Pairing: Horatio/Speed
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Warnings/Squicks: Maybe a bit OOC?
Summary: Speed sneaks and changes Horatio's ring tone.
Beta'd by the wonderful suki_blue. Thank you dearest!

Notes: Okay, this is the first time I've written anything in this fandom, so I'm hoping my Horatio and Speed aren't too OOC. I'd like to think they'd tease each other a bit when it's just them. Thanks to my Suki dearest for the lovely prompt of a parking lot. I'm trying to retrain myself to write ficlets and short bits of fiction and she's helping me out. Hope y'all like!
