Small Fandom Big Bang

forcryinoutloud — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:05:23 GMT

Posted with permission:

I'm in the process of getting ready to run a Small Fandom Big Bang over on smallfandom_bb and am running a poll here to see what the tenth and final fandom included will be. Right now, the nine fandoms being included are; Being Human, Chronicles of Riddick, The Dead Zone, Dark Angel, Eureka, Hewligan, Primeval, Psych, and Pushing Daisies.

Kitchen Confidential is one of the three fandoms in the running to replace Firefly/Serenity (which someone just started a Big Bang for a couple months ago) so I wanted to give some Kitchen Confidential fen the chance to have their say in the poll. Right now, I am hoping to open signups for this Big Bang sometime tomorrow evening so I'd like the poll decided by tomorrow morning.

Please take into consideration that this is a poll not just to find out what fandom you'd like to READ but a fandom that you actually think people would sign-up to WRITE.

Thanks to the mods for allowing this!

Two Kitchen Confidential slash fics

carolinecrane — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:32:10 GMT

You know what I wish there was more of? Kitchen Confidential slash. I know, I know, one season and it's long-canceled, but still. It's one of the slashiest shows ever, there should be way more fic. So in the interest of helping potential fans find what little fic is out there as easily as possible, I'm posting links to two fics I wrote recently:

Title: Hot Dog Economics
Pairing: Jim/Ramon
Author: carolinecrane
Rating: NC17
Spoilers: for 1x03
Warnings: Written for the Kink Bingo challenge on DW, so there's consent play, public humiliation, and public sex, if any of those are triggers for you.

Title: if you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand
Pairing: Seth/Steven/Jim/Teddy, mentions Jim/Ramon
Rating: NC17
Spoilers: None. Well, sort of for 1x03 again.
Warnings: Again, written for my Kink Bingo card. This time the kinks are orgy, fisting, and sex toys (non-penetrating).

Seriously, why isn't there more orgy fic in this fandom? I don't even usually enjoy that sort of thing, but these guys sort of ask for it.

Title: Frigid birds, and the importance of brandy
Author: nifra_idril
Rating: PG
Genre: Humour
Why?

I am not recommending this because she wrote it for me. I am biased, but not that biased. No, I am recommending this snippet, because the bastards at FOX killed our show before it's time, and this wee snippet is just a taste of why they were wrong to do so: The Slash! The culinary wonder! The Cornish Game Hens! Damn the people at FOX, but keep the food alive.

Frigid birds, and the importance of brandy

untitled, jack/steven

thelionforreal — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 19:38:17 GMT

written in response to a ficlet meme. not-so-title song lyrics from nick drake.

Jack no longer writes specifics on his recipes.

No cups or tablespoons or dashes, no whether the butter is salted or un, no whole or reduced or skim milks, no rock or Alaskan crab. He scratches them out of his head onto a pad and hands it to Steven in the mornings. By the time the menu reaches the rest of the staff, it's complete with full instructions, truly complete, including warnings to Seth about the consistency of his crepe batter and pointed reminders to Teddy about French versus American portion sizes.

It's how they know they've possibly been together too long.

It's been like this for years.

Just a few months in, and they do it again at Nolita, work in some sort of symbiosis and create a kitchen that gets rave reviews from everywhere and the restaurant is a big fat fucking success.

Steven drinks enough for both of them in celebration.

An afternoon like all the others, and Jim sees the menu discarded on a sidebar, the morning menu, the one in Jack's hand. It's the most confusing thing he's ever seen, shorthand and then he realises, it dawns on him somewhere that menus do not say things like "k sa ent" followed by "butr" "mlk" "sal". He considers asking Jack, but he's learned by now that Jack's just going to tell him that it's a master chef thing.

He might be a rookie, but he knows hanging bras under coq au vin pots is not a master chef thing, so he asks Steven.

"S'the menu."

Jim would raise his eyebrows if he had any (they're growing back, but it's a slow and tedious process, and he knows he looks like an alien freak, but no one laughs at him any more, so it's kind of okay), but he settles for crinkling his forehead. "Doesn't look like any menu I've ever seen."

Steven shrugs. "Someday you'll be able to read a menu like that like it's out of a bloody cookbook, kid." He likes Jim, Jim's got talent enough in the kitchen and promises to be a damn fine chef if he'd stop spooking so fucking much. He takes the crumpled paper. "King salmon souffle for the entree, three cups whole milk, half stick of unsalted butter..." He trails off and walks away abruptly, calling for Jack.

He finds him taunting Mimi and pulls him aside.

"I shouldn't be able to read your menus."

Jack looks perplexed. "Of course you should."

Steven shoves the illegible scrap in his face. "I'm pretty sure Jim thought it was some kind of voodoo ritual, mate, I shouldn't be able to read your bloody fucking menus."

"What's got you in a bunch, Jesus."

"I forgot what this is like." Steven looks frustrated and drags Jack into the walk-in. Seth and Teddy look on with unrestrained glee, and Jim just looks confused. Just a normal thing in Nolita's kitchen, nothing to see here. Jim picks up the again discarded menu and, without even thinking about it once, goes into the cooler to retrieve the half stick of unsalted butter and three cups whole milk.

Jack and Steven are kissing, and they both look kind of surprised about it, and when Jim turns crimson, Jack promises that one day, he too will eventually make out with his sous, it'll be a thing.

When he's a master chef.

Fic: Half-Sober (Jack/Steven, R)

chicklet_girl — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 19:42:36 GMT

In celebration of Fox's announcement that Kitchen Confidential will return to the schedule November 14, a thing I wrote over lunch. It's 323 words, so I'm not even going to cut-tag it. I am a self-centered whore.

Half-Sober

Jim’s asleep on the couch in the back room again, and Jack has just spent an inordinate amount of time carrying produce to the refrigerator, after having spent an inordinate amount of time carrying meat to the refrigerator, and after tonight, Jack is going to start spiking Jim’s cappuccinos with No-Doz.

Jack leans against the wall and looks around the kitchen. His kitchen, and thank God for it. He can’t see outside from here, but he knows it’s the purple time just before dawn.

Which is why it’s a surprise when Steven sneaks in around the corner. He can’t see Jack, so Jack watches Steven try to sidle up to the door to the back room, only it’s more of a shambling roll, which means Steven’s about fifteen minutes from passing out.

“Jim’s already sleeping back there, you know.”

Steven jumps back against the wall. “Fuck! What the fuck are you doing here?”

“Unloading the deliveries. And you?”

“Going to have a bit of fun.”

Jack goes over and throws his arm around Steven’s shoulders and steers him away from the back room. “Leave him alone, man.” A kid who made himself puke in the alley because he thought it was part of the restaurant-opening rituals deserves to sleep in peace.

“All right, then, Jack, I’ll have to focus on you instead.”

“I’m not sure you can focus on anything right now.”

“Oh, I think I can.” Suddenly Jack is against the wall with Steven’s tongue down his throat and an overwhelming Altoids smell in his nose. They’ve never done this sober, or half-sober, or whatever it is when one person is sober and the other one is kneeling on the floor.

“Steven, not here….”

“Shut up,” Steven says, and then he pulls down Jack’s pants and takes him in his mouth. Jack rests his hands on Steven’s head and grits his teeth to keep from waking Jim.

Steven can be a real shit sometimes.
