Author notes: Based on this horoscope from astrology.com: “You may think that a surprise rendition of some songs you’ve written will be a treat for everyone in the office today. Think twice about that, because it may not go over as well as you hope. You won’t mind the boos, but who brought the eggs and tomatoes?”

Title: I Remember You Well in the Chelsea Hotel
Fandoms: Hard Core Logo/Wilby Wonderful
Characters: Billy Tallent, Duck McDonald
Rating: Explicit
Length: 2040 words
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters, I don't own them, I derive no profit from their use.
Author Notes/Warnings: Post-canon for both movies.  Things have gone less well for Duck than one might have hoped in the interim, and no better than one might have hoped for Billy, meaning that this is a sad story but hopefully not utterly depressing. :)  ETA: This story can be read as a standalone, or as a companion to this story about Dan Jarvis.
Summary: A one-night stand between two strangers who have some things in common.

Title: In The Midnight Hour
Fandoms: Hard Core Logo
Pairing/Characters: Joe Dick/Billy Tallent
Rating: Explicit
Length: 530 words
Content Notes: Still Hard Core Logo, still no fluffy bunnies or happy endings here.  But somewhat less bleak & brutal than my last HCL fic, maybe?
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters, I don't own them, I derive no profit from their use.
Summary: Some secrets Billy just discovered, and some he wishes he didn't know.

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there.

-- Madonna/Leonard Patrick

Fandoms: Hard Core Logo
Pairing/Characters: Joe Dick, Billy Tallent (not really any slashier than canon)

Author Notes: There's probably happy-fluffy HCL fic out there somewhere (and if you know where it is, give me a pointer!), but this is not it.  For future badge bookkeeping reference, this is my first attempt at Hard Core Logo fic.
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters, I don't own them, I derive no profit from their use.
Summary: Joe and Billy play various games to kill time, and for other reasons.
