Nails and Paperclips

Hi, and welcome to Nails and Paperclips! This is an archive for some of my favorite original stories and fanfics that aren't Buffy, Young Hercules, or Sailor Moon related. The image above is scanned from the book Kabuki: Reflections #1. This page was last tweaked on December 23, 2007.

Warning: Some stories may have relationships other than heterosexual, aswell as sexual content not suitable for children. If you are offended by Gays, Lesbians, Trans, Humor, Sarcasm, or Sex in general, you shouldn't be here. If you get offended by anything easily, then you probably shouldn't be here.

Original Stories

The Story of Joan of Arc: Martyr Complex - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
The story of the skin is carved out in flesh. The story of the flesh is detailed with the manipulation of skin. The manipulation of skin is the job for storytellers and artists.

When You Are Gone I Will Still Be Here - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
She never paid much attention to what was going on around her. What is important never happens. What happens is never important (These two statements are not one in the same). Nobody ever looks at her, but when they do she must always look away because she fears death.

Imagine - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
If it is this, then let it be that. If it is. It is this. This is what it is, again and again with what it is the same that it is over and over. There is no repetition of meaning, it is only the unique interpretation of differences that causes similarity to understand the stain of skin into which it is trapped, this time and place again with the same and out with the old is into with the new again.

Scarlet - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
She never thought about love until she started wanting, in her dreams, where reality is hidden, love. She never thought about sex until she started having, in her dreams, where reality is hidden, love). It is the age when most people become aware of their own ability to love another human being who is not theirself and begin to wish to share this love, experience this love, and even experiment with this love with another human being who is not theirself.

Paris: City of Suicides - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
Joan is not a woman, she is a trans-sexual. To be trans-sexual is to be without, within the without. Because to be trans-sexual, you are no longer outside of those that are within, you are without all of that. She has a large hole in the middle of her body that she calls home.

Identity Politics: Failure - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
As death has constructed its deconstruction of what is gender and how sexuality plays a role in the politics of sexuality, like waves of time transcending the depths of grass and groin. What has been constructed of this place that has been constructed by the death of desire to love and understanding in only another self like identity, the fragmentation of society and ideology and death died for death. Die daily.

Of Mice and Men - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
This ole' heart of mine's been broken into a thousand pieces. I no longer wish to put my heart back together again. I will not look at you, Faulkner, because I am not gay. I am merely the ache of a heart beckoning for the embrace of another.

The Tempest - Bill Berry posted 4/4/05
We have coffee. Sartre sets a hundred-dollar-bill on the coffee table. I beg him. He will not listen to me because he doesn't understand, like I him, my language. I become even more confused. He hits me and my mouth begins to bleed. I am crying. I need the money, so I stay.

Harry Potter

Just a Harmless Joke - Rain-chan posted 4/15/05
Rated PG-13. Fred accidentally starts rumors that he's with Hermione, and encourages them for a laugh. When she find out, she's furious. Now the two of them are fighting to out-embarrass and annoy one another... but they're also fighting their feelings for each other.

The Prank War - Rain-chan
Now that Voldemort is dead, Harry and company are enjoying their last year of school by taking part in a time-honored Hogwarts tradition: the seventh year prank war. When Malfoy pulls a horrible prank on Hermione, the Gryffindors promise major payback...

We Woke Up Married - Rain-chan
DracoHermione; challenge response. After a night of drinking, Draco and Hermione wake up married, and find that wizard unions are hard to annul. Humor, drama, and plenty of romance. Set at the end of 7th year, after Voldemort's death.

Private Thoughts - Rain-chan
Harry often wondered if Snape could read minds... well, the answer is yes. Snape gets bored while teaching potions and decides to read the private thoughts of some of his students. Warning: some sexual content, nothing too strong though.

A Night at the Three Broomsticks - Rain-chan posted 4/10/05
Rated R. Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet up with Fred, George and Ginny for a night at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. Things get wild after a few drinks (and Fred and George spike Hermione's butterbeer). FWHG, HPGinny, implied GeorgeKB. Please review!

Harry's New Family - Rain-chan
Sirius Black is now Harry's legal guardian. Life is great... until a woman shows up on their doorstep and drops off Sirius's long-lost daughter, throwing their lives into chaos. NO self-insertion, I promise, and the OC is NOT the focus.

Roswell

285 North - Brynhild posted 4/10/07
Roswell/Supernatural crossover. Michael's vandalism of personal property doesn't go unnoticed.

So Far, So Good - Brynhild posted 12/23/07
Roswell/DeVour crossover. Kyle is the farthest from home he's ever been, and he happens to see a familiar face.
