Title: FNL Script: Accessories
Author: vacheqirit
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: S1
Disclaimers: FNL and these characters are the properties of their owners. No infringements intended.
Author's Note: This script is the capstone to my FNL fanfic efforts, the only logical destination for the stories I've been telling for the better part of this year. Given the WGA strike and the general uncertainty regarding the future of the show, this piece may never find an outlet onscreen. Therefore, I offer it to those of you who might enjoy seeing a couple of former fanfics adapted to this format, as well as two new SLs created for the script. For the purposes of this script, Matt and Julie are still a couple; the murder never took place; Tim's eligibility to play football is over; Jason continues in his coaching role with the Panthers; and CT is back in Dillon after his stint at TMU. Due to its length, I have divided the script into sections. I hope you will send me feedback, as this has been a very intense labor of love.

FYI, this piece is on file with the WGA Intellectual Property Registry.

Title: Missing, Chapter 4--Can't Find My Way Home
Author: vacheqirit
Rating: R for language
Characters: Landry Clarke; Tim Riggins
Spoilers: Seven months post-"State"
Disclaimers: FNL and these characters are the properties of their owners. No infringements intended.
Author's Note: I had thought this chapter, offered for Ultimate Fanfic Day 2, would be the conclusion to this story, but the tale needs a little more time and space to finish its unfolding. Thanks for any feedback.

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

Blind Faith, Can’t Find My Way Home

Title: Missing, Chapter 3--Less than Love is Nothing
Author: vacheqirit
Rating: R for language
Spoilers: Six months post "State"
Characters: Ensemble
Disclaimers: FNL and these characters are the properties of their owners. No infringements intended.
Author's Note: This chapter took a little extra time, perhaps because I have the temerity to introduce a character we've not yet met on the show. Let me know your thoughts on her characterization. And I promise not to use more Jonatha Brooke songs to introduce future chapters! This title was just too good not to use.

I give you love but you won't take it
You flip your collar as you leave
The bicycles on cobblestones
The corner cafe all alone
They whisper, they whisper:

Less than love is nothing
And nothing is not enough
And more than anything
I wish you love
Wish you love.

Jonatha Brooke, Less Than Love is Nothing

Title: Missing, Chapter 2--So Much Mine
Author: vacheqirit
Rating: R for language
Spoilers: Six months post-"State"
Disclaimers: FNL and these characters are the properties of their owners. No infringements intended.
Author's Note: I guess I've committed to riding this wave. Please offer your feedback so it can be a fun ride for all.

You know you've got my hands,
and you've got your father's eyes -
lovely, bold eyes
I know that it's not fair, but things aren't always what they
seem - and now I worry so -
Where you'll lay your head, where you'll sleep tonight,
Way up high, why, oh why can't I
Someone's pillow's cold, someone loved you so.

Where's the heart in me that made the one in you so cold,
Please don't go.
'Cause I know where you got that dress, I know where you
learned to walk like that
'Cause you were so much, so much mine
now I reach for you
and I cannot find you
So much, so much mine
now I reach for you and I cannot find you.
Jonatha Brooke and The Story, So Much Mine

Author's Note: This is my offering for Ultimate Fan Fiction Day (UFFD). Thanks to lyttlqt21 and thatdudejoe for bringing the FNL fanfic writing forces together, and for their contagious enthusiasm.

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be

At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why.

Title: Missing, Chapter 1--Long Time Gone
Author: vacheqirit
Rating: R for language
Character: Ensemble
Spoilers: Six months post-"State"
Disclaimers: FNL and these characters are the properties of their owners. No infringements intended.
Author's Note: This story was inspired by my own personal FNL "jukebox," which I'll reference via chapter titles in subsequent installments. Please send me feedback on this, and whether you feel up to reading another multi-part, ensemble piece...

My friends all think they've lost me, my family's up in arms
But no one ever noticed 'til I sounded the alarm
There's danger in complacency and comfort in the fight
For the way that you whisper in the sweetness of the night
The sweetness of the night.

‘Cause I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it.

Jonatha Brooke, Steady Pull

Title: Revisiting Jackson Pollock, Part II
Author: vacheqirit
Rating: R for language, sexuality
Characters: Julie Taylor, Matt Saracen, Landry Clarke, Grandma Saracen
Spoilers: Based on spoilers for Season 2
Disclaimer: FNL and these characters are the properties of their owners. No infringement intended.
Author's Note: This piece is drawn from a suggestion by HarshBench and draws on spoilers for Season 2. You have been warned.

I’ve been a bad, bad girl.
I’ve been careless with a delicate man.
And it’s a sad, sad world,
When a girl can break a boy
Just because she can.

Don’t you tell me to deny it,
I’ve done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins.
I’ve come to you ’cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don’t know where I can begin.

What I need is a good defense
’Cause I’m feelin’ like a criminal.
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I sinned against
Because he was all I ever knew of love.

Fiona Apple, Criminal
