Our own fan fiction

These stories all focus very much on the Joan/Adam relationship, so please don’t expect any episode-like storylines or much on the Grace/Luke pairing here. Most of TeeJay’s stories are pretty angsty. If you’re not into angst, you better avoid these.

The stories are all published on fanfiction.net, so what you will find here are links to the stories hosted on fanfiction.net. If you have anything to say about them, please take a moment to leave a review, writers love feedback!

DomesticElephant’s stories:

….. Some Kind Of Nightmare
It’s one night in the post-Bonnie life of Adam Rove and it’s not a good one!

Sisterdebmac’s stories:

….. Experiments (R rating!!)
This is a completely UNauthorized sequel to the AUish To Give Is To Receive by femmenerd. Just like her wonderful story, it contains sexuality. Plot: A week after Adam made Joan very happy, she returns the favor.

….. The Haircut
Late in the Summer of 2005, a new, rather drastic haircut presents an opportunity for Joan and Adam to talk about the important things. Author’s note: This is my first attempt at JOA fic, so be nice.

….. Butterflies (PG version)
Bad news prompts Adam to turn up on Joan’s doorstep in his time of need, paving the way for reconnection. This is a collaboration between Sisterdebmac and TeeJay and is set in the future when Adam and Joan are both 22. (work in progress)

….. Butterflies: the unadulterated version (R rating!!)
Bad news prompts Adam to turn up on Joan’s doorstep in his time of need. Collaboration between Sisterdebmac and TeeJay, set in the future when Adam and Joan are both 22. Contains adult content. (work in progress)

….. Taken (R rating!!)
This one is not a full-blow fic really.  It’s an interlude.  Pure smut.  And it’s possible that it will show up one day in a real chapter of Butterflies.

….. The Three Story High Club (R rating!!)
Adam and Joan have an… interlude after their workloads keep them from spending any real time together for a week.

TeeJay’s stories:

….. Almost (R rating!!)
Sweet little vignette that continues where episode 2×07 POV left off. Warning: Ends up very smutty, hence it gets an R rating. Don’t read if you don’t like graphic sexual content.

….. Til It’s Gone
Alternate universe to how Joan gets to know Adam cheated on her. This came to me as I watched the bookstore scene from Trial and Error once again. Talk about punishing yourself…

….. After The Fall
Follow-up on the episode 2×19 Trial and Error. This is my view on what happens with Adam after Joan leaves him at the end of the episode.

….. Beaten and Battered
After rewatching the episode Trial and Error the other night, this is a little alternate universe interlude story. It’s what I now think Adam should have deserved. Warning! Not very Adam friendly.

….. All Of You
Delving into the minds and thoughts of Adam, Joan, Bonnie and Grace and others throughout and after the episode 2×19 Trial And Error. (incomplete)

….. Reach
Something prompts Joan to visit Adam in his shed the first time after their exchange of each other’s stuff in episode 2×20.

….. A Friend In Need
Adam has the stomach flu and Grace asks Joan to look after him since his dad is out of town. Post season two, AdamJoan and a fair share of Adam & Grace.

….. Underwater
Alternative ending to the episode 2×21 Common Thread. Focused mainly on Joan and Adam with lots of angsty and dramatic stuff.

….. Pathfinder
Missing scenes from the episode Common Thread, surrounding the events after Adam goes missing up on Mount Nashman, eventually skipping to events that happen after the s2 finale.

….. Second Chances
God suggests to Joan to do some gardening work, which makes her stumble right into Adam’s personal problems that he doesn’t want anyone to know about. Takes place between episode 2×21 and 2×22.

….. Water Drops and Daydreams (R rating!!)
Adam, the shower, sliding water drops and daydreams. My first R rated story. Don’t read this if you don’t like graphic stuff, because it definitely is graphic. I hope in a good way.

….. Sweet Crusader
Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse between Joan and Adam, they do. Adam and M.J. take a trip to Washington and God asks Joan to help an old lady with her chores. This fanfic relates to Tote’s story Cathy and Heathcliffe. (incomplete)

….. Seeing Is Believing
What if Joan told Adam that even after crazy camp, therapy and counseling, Joan was still talking to God? Would he believe her now? (incomplete)

….. Forgive Me
Post second season. Joan receives a gift from Adam that she didn’t expect. One chapter so far, maybe more to come.

….. Hailstones and Mistletoe
It’s Christmas and Carl and Adam are invited to join the Girardis for dinner. Just a little Christmas story GermanJoan and I thought we’d whip up for you to get into the spirit. Merry Christmas, everyone!

….. Moonlight and Magic
A year has passed since Joan broke up with Adam. At their graduation party, Joan realizes that she might be ready to finally forgive him. One shot so far. Continuation unlikely but not impossible.

Take a look inside my things-are-going-perfectly-between-Adam-and-Joan bubble. Just a short, cute, little AdamJoan piece, set in the future. Rated R for sexual content.

Songfic based on the song Thank You by Dido. The song already tells a story, and I took that story and applied it to Adam and Joan. This takes place in the future, a couple of years after their high school graduation.

….. Old Wounds
Tragedy strikes the Girardi family, bringing old friends back together. Very dark future fic, set nine years after season two. Mostly about Adam, and some Grace and eventually Joan. Did you expect anything else from me?
