The Zen and the Damaged

For a Secret Santa exchange, prompt: Jon/”Stephen”, after a freak accident, he gains the ability to hear what the other is really thinking.

An accidental bit of magic leaves Stephen’s mind switched out of his body…and into Christiane Aman-purr’s. While Tad heads off to retrieve the fix, Jon gets stuck with cat-sitting.

Challenged to write a fic pairing “Stephen” with someone other than Jon. Say, the barista under his desk.

Two loose sketches, accompanied by two ficlets. Takes place right after the 2008 Election Special.

The prompt: “A story about the space under Stephen’s desk! He’s had two Starbucks, a gitmo-esque prison, Jews apparently building a pyramid, and ‘his Asians’. There’s definitely something fishy going on.”

Spawned from a random story generator: Jon Stewart and/or any politician make out in a car or other vehicle.

Written (and then illustrated) for a Secret Santa exchange. When Jon accidentally discovers that he has superpowers, the 2002-era news team is there to support him…except for a very upset Stephen, who has always wanted to have powers of his own.

Written for a Secret Santa exchange. Being a manager on TCR has a world of challenges that you won’t find on any other job. Fortunately, Tad and Bobby have each other to lean on.

Written for a prompt. Stephen just wants to go on an Easter egg hunt. Jon has reservations.

Written for a Secret Santa exchange prompt: “hedgehog’s dilemma”, with an appearance (sort of) by John King. Wasn’t sure if readers would be familiar with the term, so I brought an actual hedgehog in to illustrate.
