Yuletide
By Syrinx
Rating: PG
A/N: Comment fic (again, not in comments, because I suck at brevity, apparently.) For mask_and_mirror, who wanted Brad and Ashleigh on Christmas Eve, avoiding Lavinia and Mike, but not going to the barn. Brad/Ashleigh. Set during Sierra's Steeplechase.

( Lights dance on the little glass panes... )

Altered

Rating: PG-13
A/N: Comment fic! I know comment fic is supposed to be short, relatively sweet ficlets you can keep to a comment, but lambourngb asked for an AU where Ashleigh is the "farm's little spoiled princess" and Brad is the "hard-working, dirty-boot son of the breeding manager and is crazy about his wonder-pony." Clearly, I went kind of wild. Ashleigh/Brad, to a certain extent.

( The first time he meets her, they're both fifteen. )

Chimerical

The Bodily Habit
Rating: NC-17
Inure: to accustom to hardship, difficulty, pain, etc.; toughen or harden
A/N: This is an alternate version of Ashleigh's Dream, in which I am horrible to everyone. Again. This story has been a labor.  It took me a long time to find the beginning, but once I located it the rest of it fell into place.  So I apologize for the delay in stories!  This is Ashleigh/Brad, in an angsty, hate happy sort of way.  (It might be good to note that I always, always, always assume Brad went to college at Columbia.)


( Every so often, Brad Townsend thinks that something cosmic will happen. )

Chimerical

Snake, Bitch, Lover
Rating: R
Hyperbole – obvious and intentional exaggeration
A/N: Through Samantha's Pride.  Ashleigh/Brad. 


( She has so many choice words for him.  )

Chimerical
A Myriad of Mean Little Chances
Rating: PG-13
Gauche: lacking social grace, sensitivity, or acuteness; awkward; crude; tactless.
A/N: during Wonder’s First Race, Samantha’s Pride, Sierra’s Steeplechase.  Brad/Caroline, Brad/Melinda, Brad/Ashleigh, Brad/Lavinia.  This started out as a story exploring why Brad broke up with Caroline, and it spiraled into an AU romp through Brad's love life.

( The moment she says it, he knows. )

Chimerical

Decent Godless People
Fervid: heated or vehement in spirit, enthusiasm.
Rating: NC-17 for sexiness, and possibly for being inadvertently sacrilegious (somehow).
A/N: Part one of three. (Sequels will be found in J and W.)  Takes place in the summer between Ashleigh's Dream and Wonder's Yearling.  Brad/Ashleigh, totally and completely, with boatloads of unspoken angst that we'll get to in J.  Something to look forward to! 

( Nothing about this is romantic. )

Chimerical

The Price You Pay
Espy: to see at a distance; catch sight of.
Rating: G
A/N: during Pride’s Challenge. Brad/Lavinia, implied unrequited Brad/Ashleigh.

( This is her truth: everything can be bought and nothing comes without a price. )

Chimerical

The Night Shall be filled with Music
Dulcet: pleasant to the ear; melodious.
Rating: PG-13
A/N: during The Bad Luck Filly, with a certain AU spin (also, I give Brad a new outfit, because I refuse to accept whatever the authors did to his wardrobe in the new gen).


( This is one of those parties she hates on principle. )

Chimerical

In the Grass under Trees
Copse – a thicket of small trees or bushes; a small wood
Rating: G
( There was a gathering of trees in the main broodmare paddock. )

Chimerical
Series A/N: I did mention that these stories are in no way related, right? 

A Secret Told to the Mouth
Bestow: to present as a gift; give; confer
Rating: R
A/N: post Wonder’s Victory.

( He drove straight back to the farm after the race, making the drive in half the time. )

Chimerical: an A-to-Z writing prompt.
Series A/N: I decided to do something new, because I like to have as many fanfic projects going on as humanly possible. I decided to create my own little A-to-Z writing prompt series for Ashleigh and Brad. Ideally, this will mean 26 stories. Not all will be Ashleigh/Brad. There might be some Ashleigh/Mike, some Brad/Lavinia, but at the core it's Ashleigh and Brad.

Fire Knows Nothing of Mercy
Affray: n. a public fight; a noisy quarrel; brawl.
Rating: PG-13
A/N: during Samantha's Pride. I always found this scene irritating, and so I rewrote it with an emphasis on reality. I'm starting off as far from Ashleigh/Brad as I can get in this one. Some slight Ashleigh/Mike. No Lavinia.


( Her name is written on the blackboard in the jockeys' room. )

Summary: Him and her and this.
Sequel to Renaissance in the Integrity-verse. Ashleigh/Brad.


( She makes that noise in the back of her throat. )

Renaissance
by Syrinx
Rating: G
154 words.
A/N: Integrity-verse. Post Albatross.  Very slight implied Ashleigh/Brad. 

They stand so close, shoulders brushing. The spring air is heady, slippery through her hair. He leans his weight against the fence, braces everything on his forearms as he stares out at the paddock and its occupants, at the mother and her filly foal.

She knows that he is far more excited than he lets on. This is the culmination of years of interest, sloppily packaged, all done without his saying a word. She wants this to be the right decision.

He knows she is trepidation defined, exhausted, perplexed, all sorts of synonyms rolled into the puzzle that can only be her. There is an itch in him that cannot help wanting to take her apart, to fit her back together so she is whole.

They are both right, in a way, but they are also experts at avoiding truths.

Instead he says, “Do you have a name for her?”

And she smiles.

“Dawn.”

Umbrage
By Syrinx
Rating: G (for this section only)
Summary: Sometimes, belief is not enough.
A/N: Perhaps Fleet Goddess loses her second race.  She loses her third, her fourth...and continues to lose.  Maybe she's nothing more than a flashy pedigree and an unrealized dream.  What would Ashleigh do then?  (First part in maybe a short series, eventually Brad/Ashleigh, set after Ashleigh's Dream.)

He didn’t believe in Fleet Goddess’s abilities. He thought she was overmatched. She shrugged his arm off her shoulders.

Sweet Oranges
By Syrinx
Rating: PG-13
Canon: Thoroughbred
Summary: Wonder’s Pride will win the Breeders’ Cup.
A/N: Sequel to Pomegranate.  AU Pride's Last Race. 

( There is a next day. )

Pomegranate
by Syrinx
Rating: nc-17
Canon: Thoroughbred
Summary: She just wants to.
A/N: Sequel to Rice and Wheat. I have decided to make this a trilogy, mainly because I sort of stumbled into an ending with this fic that I didn't plan. The rest will come along soon. About the rating, I could write a freaking essay on this topic alone. Just to be safe, I'm saying it's NC-17. (It's a first for me! Somehow!) AU Pride's Last Race. 



( She is better than that, and he has more to offer than that, and what the hell is she thinking? )

Rice and Wheat
By Syrinx
PG
Canon: Thoroughbred
Summary: This is a world of second thoughts.
A/N: Basically, push Charlie's death up a few hours.  This is the fall out.  And then there's the Brad/Ashleigh, of course.  (Not related to Gravity or the Integrity stories.  Probably a oneshot, unless I go crazy and write more, which is always likely.)


( Ashleigh is drunk. Well, more like tipsy. )

Albatross
By Syrinx
Rating: G
A/N:  Another continuation of Integrity.  Slips in right after Argonaut.  Mike, implied Ashleigh & Brad friendship. 

( They are side by side. They are not touching. He wouldn’t dare.  )
