FABULOUS!

Rating: PG for references to sex
Character(s): Christopher Thomas (Elder Poptarts,) the fabulous Ellen McKinley.
Pairing(s): It’s gen, but there is McPoptarts as a main topic of conversation
Summary: McKinley’s mother comes for a visit, but she’s left alone with Connor’s boyfriend— they have nothing to do but talk.
Other Notes: I was going to try and add McKinley himself in here, but it was just dragging on too much already, so I decided to wrap it up neatly! Based on the fic linked above, written by the incomparable Cassie!

Click. Click. Click. Click. The sound of fingernails clinking (or, as it would seem in his current case, clicking) on glass has always unnerved Christopher, and today is no exception. He squirms on the sofa, eyes still set cautiously on a family portrait on the opposite side of the room.

Rating: PG for some touchy-feeliness, and a few slurs and cursewords.
Character(s): Roshara McKinley, Kevilynn Cunningham-Price
Pairing(s): Roshara/Kevilynn
Summary: Words exchanged under the bleachers between girls who might be more than friends.
Other Notes: WARNING FOR HOMOPHOBIC AND TRANSPHOBIC SLURS. They’re brief, but they’re there, and I hope everyone knows that I myself would never use these words. Roshara is kind of a little prick. So, uh, enjoy my femslash fanspawns?

Rating: G for a few Mormon-style innuendos here and there.
Word Count: 2,921
Character(s): Kevin Price, various barely-named Mormon mothers
Pairing(s): None.
Summary: Kevin Price has no mind for marriage, but the mothers of the other kids at the nearest elementary school don’t seem to care— and it does seem like they all have someone in mind for him.
Other Notes: I went with the same sort of long format I used for Little Princess here, because I think it really works. Inspired in part by a scene in Baptists at Our BBQ, a Mormon movie I torrented along with 10 others. Future!fic, in the same universe as Little Princess. SO. MANY. LADY NAMES.

1.

Kevin Price was, to the eyes of the moms of Orchard Elementary School in North Salt Lake, single. Not just single, either. Eligible. A tall, impeccably-dressed Mormon man— at least, he seemed Mormon.

Well, he was Mormon enough.

Rating: G for completely gen!
Word Count: 1,485
Character(s): Nabulungi, Elders Price and Cunningham
Pairing(s): None that are the focus of the story, unless you count Nabulungi/Salt Lake City
Summary: Salt Lake City isn’t Sal Tlay Ka Siti, but it’s pretty close.
Other Notes: Future!fic. This will probably turn into a series, but for now, this is just a stand-alone!

Her first impression, when Arnold “gingerly” shakes her awake, is not what she was expecting at all.

There’s a lot less white than she would have imagined— well, as long as you weren’t counting the people. She’s never seen so many white men and women in her life, and, ankles a bit wobbly from the lack of movement for the past few hours, Arnold doesn’t seem to notice her staring around in awe.

Because really, an expanse of grey concrete is almost like flawless white marble.

Character(s): Helen Ashby-Price, courtesy of Beth. Kevin Price.
Pairing(s): None.
Summary: There are some nights when it starts to get too much.
Other Notes: The prompt was “25 minutes / original female character / coffee,” and my first thought was Helen, Kevin’s wife in Beth’s fantastic “Lost Boys” fanfiction. She’s like, my favourite. Ever.

Late nights equal stress lines. Brow furrowed, bent over her computer, Helen Ashby-Price struggles to grasp exactly what she’s trying to do with her next sentence— words jumble in front of her eyes. Too late. Much too late. And all she wants to do is figure out another word for “longing” as Emma stares at Jasper, or maybe how to properly describe the glinting of their purity rings (because her publishers are just a bunch of liberal so-and-sos and they can go climb a tree for all she cares.)

Really, she’s beginning to wonder if living as holy a life as she does is worth it. Because there is one solution to her sleepiness that she can think of, and she knows exactly where it is, as her husband isn’t as good at keeping secrets as he thinks.

Character(s): Jeffleigh McKinley
Pairing(s): References to past one-sided McPriceley
Summary: It’s not love. It’s not even lust. It’s just misplaced emotion.
Other Notes: Future!fic. Prompt was “(write for) 10 minutes * original female character * replacement.” Ugh, I love exploring canon characters through their interactions with original characters like this.

Jeffleigh McKinley-nee-Robbins is not a jealous woman. She never has been, and she never will be. It’s part and parcel when one marries a not-quite-ex-gay. Sure, she’s bitter— bitter that everyone’s been lying to her since she was 22 and he was fresh off his mission, attractive despite his apparent excommunication and love of sequins. She just thought he was a bit flamboyant, a showman.

So maybe she was wrong. She’s still not jealous.
