They touch for the first time in months and all Nicky feels is the cold metal of the gold band around Lorna's ring finger.

Despite what her band says, they don't go to that tiny, grimy 24-hour diner after every gig because Nicky has a crush on the cute, clumsy diner girl. Nicky just likes the milkshakes. And maybe she kind of owes that cute, clumsy diner girl her life. [DINER BAND AU] NickyLorna Vauseman Poussey & Flaca

Piper just wants Gossip Girl to leave her alone. And to get her brother out of trouble with drug dealers. And for Nicky to just make a move on that girl from Brooklyn she's crushing on. And for that gorgeous Amazon with the glasses to stop smiling at her like that...but mostly the Gossip Girl thing. HS Gossip Girl AU Vauseman Nicky/Lorna

A collection of Nicky/Lorna one shots. #3 - "Hey Morello, if my dog doesn't like you, we might have a problem." Follow-up

Five times Nicky wants to kiss Lorna's lips, but doesn't, and the one time Lorna surprises her. Nicky/Lorna

She should have never fallen asleep... Canon divergence 02x04 "A Whole Other Hole" onward. Rated M for rape and other potential triggers.

"Baby, we're in prison. Hearts of gold or hearts in general get stomped on." Nicky Nichols & Lorna Morello before & after Chapman arrives

Snapshot moments of when Kaylie Cruz goes on tour with Damon Young and the Shelter Pups. Low-budget motel rooms, a nasty tour bus, foul-mouthed rock stars and a shared love of music. What happens on tour…gets put on YouTube. Damon/Kaylie/Razor OT3

The boys are stoked to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show... the girls not so much. Austin/Payson/Max Damon/Razor Lauren/Kaylie friendships; Nickelly Lauren/Jake; Implied Sasha/Payson Damon/Kaylie; CRACK FIC

It's a shame he couldn't see this clearly at the start. KayAus Austin/Max Austin/Lauren/Payson Nickelly 50th fic

"I've been in love with the same guy since I was sixteen, had his baby at twenty, turned him down so many times he probably won't ask me to marry him ever again, and, oh, his loser cousin and my mother, who's dying, are all under our roof. Right. So much to be jealous of." Nickelly Sheila Max Paystin

"Austin might be falling for me, I kissed Sasha and Rigo, you know, my dead ex-boyfriend, visits me in my dreams." Future AU Payson/Sasha Payson/Austin Payson/Rigo Nickelly Lauren/Jake Lauren/Austin

It all happens in front of him as if in slow motion. Payson sprints, but she's too far. Lauren goes limp in his arms. Austin didn't understand the random closeness between the blondes, but now he finds himself in the middle. Austin/Lauren/Payson besties

In a different world, their baby that she kept had his smile. Nickelly. For LCTD Attempt #2.

Kaylie has the brilliant idea of playing matchmaker and drags Austin into it. What could possibly go wrong, right? KayAus Nickelly - The TC Breakfast Club - For LCTD. Happy Birthday, J.

Basically, she self-medicates with doses of Nicky Russo and he's kind of cheating on gymnastics with Kelly Parker. Nickelly

Austin Tucker is less torn than cursed. They're both so beautiful and so broken. He'll never leave one, but never stop wanting the other. AU; Future Lauren/Austin/Kaylie; Instances of Nickelly, Payson/Sasha

Austin Tucker is dating Kaylie Cruz. He's totally straight. Totally. Then why does it bug him so much when Max starts bringing boys around the lake house? Austin/Max KayAus Max/OCs Nickelly Little Tuck AU - FAIL 'VERSE

Death is a definitive end, but for the left behind, it can be the start of a downward descent into the dark, fueled by pain, anger and guilt. Max Spencer died in a car accident after rejecting Payson and kissing Austin. His final words: "Lauren, stop!" AU

AKA The Nickelly Chronicles ... Every time Kelly smiles, Nicky still feels like he's in the presence of that bossy little girl who he kissed for the first time on a trampoline. Co-written by Life's Crash Test Dummy

AKA B's Magical Collection of Holiday Oneshots! Multi-ships. Sasha/Marty friendship, Emily/Damon/Razor, Paystin, Nickelly, Lauren/Austin, Payson/Sasha, Kaylie/Damon, Lauren/Razor, Austin/Emily, Lauren/Austin, KayAus, Austin/Max

Daddy, I'm dating a pizza delivery boy. Deal with it. Lauren/Razor

In Kelly's opinion, Nicky looks way better in Denver blue than Dallas red, but whatever because she likes him best naked anyway. Nickelly : Mentions of Kaylie/Austin/Max Little Tuck AU - FAIL 'VERSE

There's something about him. She doesn't have to put on this I'm The National Champion, Respect Me show. She's just a girl sitting with a boy who thinks she has bad taste in music. Kaylie/Damon

She kisses him back and they both know the world won't wait for them, but damn it, for these last few precious seconds, they'll make it. Nickelly

When Hal asks Margaret if she has some pointers he doesn't actually expect her to. The way she gets behind him to show him is even more unexpected, but the biggest surprise of them all is how it changes everything he thinks of her. Hal/Margaret

Five former frat boys. A bachelor party in Vegas. It's only natural that things get crazy. Alcohol. Haircuts. Strippers. A wedding chapel. A goat. But wait, why can't they remember anything the next morning and where's the groom? Yup. They're screwed. AU

Kaylie overhears a conversation full of sexual implications between her boyfriend and his best friend. Pretty little impressionable gymnasts who easily jump to conclusions really shouldn't eavesdrop. Austin/Max, KayAus

Maybe if Kelly kept as tight a leash on Ava as she kept on Tessa or Sheila keeps on her, things would be different. In the end, Kelly knows no one could have controlled Ava Tucker. Ava couldn't even control herself. :Companion-fic to That's Life:

Kaylie said she doesn't think she could have won Nationals without her friends. Secretly Kelly feels the same way about her Nick. Nickelly

Please stand up if you've dated or wanted to date a Rock Rebel or two and got your heart broken… CRACK-FIC

He feels like the biggest jerk in the world right now. Razor even tells him he's the biggest jerk in the world. Damon is broody and conflicted, but there's one thing that keeps him going - she kissed him back. Damon/Kaylie

For the record: Kelly's decision to go to Houston Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation was not influenced by the fact that Nicky is in Dallas. She didn't even know the two cities were roughly 4 hours or 242 miles away. That's coincidence. Really. Nickelly

Carter is a douche bag. He's willing to admit it, but he also blames it on the people in his life, specifically the women.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but the eyes don't lie. I know I saw something between Damon and Kaylie and I'm pretty sure Emily did too. 02x14 with Austin AusEm

Because cats are kinda their thing. Paystin

Note to self: Never call life boring because then Damon might come back, hold a 'concert' at the Shack and when he's singing to his new friend on stage Emily won't look happy and - hey, didn't I go to prom with that blonde over there? 02x14 with Razor

Austin Tucker goes from gymnast to bartender, living a comfortable life, running the bar left to him by an old friend. He thinks he has his entire life figured out until Emily Kmetko shows up on his doorstep, beaten, bruised and with a baby. FUTURE-FIC

The one where Austin, Emily and Payson watch and commentate as Lauren, Kelly Parker and the boys have it out on the dance floor. CRACK-FIC

"Lauren was all up on you and your eyes and camera were all up on Payson…" Max cuts him off with a laugh, sure to add, "And Emily is the one you got dibs on." Wait…what? Austin/Max friendship AusEm Post-New Normal

The pain of his soldiers leaves him paralyzed. Pain leads to death. It leaves him scared. Running scared. And so he leaves. Post-2x10 Sasha-centered

This friendship makes no sense, but most times the best things never do. A series of oneshots recounting the crazy, usually drunken misadventures of Nicky Russo, Kelly Parker and Austin Tucker. EPIC CRACK-FIC

Lauren doesn't pull away and neither does Razor. Gulping loudly, he allows himself to enjoy the moment, enjoy the feeling of a warm body pressed up against him, but most importantly, the feeling of being wanted. Post 01x16 Razor/Lauren

Why pretty girls want boys that treat them badly, Razor will never begin to understand. Razor/Lauren

Austin told himself that he'd never end up here with a girl. Friends. Not friends with certain benefits or friends on the brink of something more. Just friends. AusEm

She takes physical pain to deal with emotional pain. Time and time again, he takes the pain for her, from her, and nothing anyone can do for her will ever be greater or have greater meaning than that. Nickelly /written for LCTD/

Emily knows she's in trouble when a little lesson on motorcycling turns into a discussion of Twilight with Austin Tucker. AusEm

Kaylie gets a text message from Austin and it isn't anything like she would have ever imagined. KayAus Paystin

Why was I born in these shoes? I love you, Mama, but from here I'm going barefoot. Paystin

Payson has an unexpected run-in with Austin Tucker late at night in the locker room. After thinking about it the entire weekend, come Monday, she can't say she hated it. Paystin

"You made bail, Kmetko. You're free to go." I swallow hard and bite my lip because I know I'll be in debt to him forever after this. When I see him, I expect to hear his every demand, not a hug. Post-Rock Bottom AusEm

You like to think you know her, this girl you kiss by cars, sometimes in cars, but when you see her, crying in the arms of another, you realize you don't know her and she was always some else's from the start. Austin/Kaylie/Nicky

Being around Austin really does have that affect on a person. I really can't blame Kaylie for being changed by that kiss. I feel myself slowly letting go and all he has to do is smile. He holds out his helmet to me and I take it every time. AusEm

Kaylie Cruz was lucky and she blew it. She blew six months watching lost love in a sick puppet show. She blew six months tangling strings and finally set the stage on fire.

He's Austin Tucker. He's a masochist. He's broken many hearts and obsessively searches for one girl. The first girl that can break his heart. AusEm

You know you've probably had enough when you're wondering if the beer would taste any different on his tongue. You know you've probably had enough, but still you want more. Carter/Austin BROMANCE

It seems "classy" is the new word for pushover. Lauren Tanner doesn't get stepped on. She does the stepping.

You may wait for Nicky, but he will never stop waiting for Payson. Oneshot.
