• NEW! Commune-ists, by Smileyfax (COMPLETE!): The Morgendorffers were eating their usual family dinner, but there was some tension in the air. Daria, with her keen insight into the family's dynamics, had no idea what had her cockles up, and that worried her. All evening, Helen and Jake had foregone their usual comforts -- Helen, her cell phone/umbilical cord connecting her to Eric, and Jake his newspaper/shield from being responsible or approachable. All evening, the two had been giving each other the occasional furtive glance, and hadn't once asked Daria or Quinn how their day had gone. (FF.net)
  
• NEW! Daria/Dorian 6: Christmas Chaos, by LadieT (Part 7): Dorian woke up with a pounding headache. The three hours of sleep mixed with memories of the night before proved to be a stressful combination. He grabbed the Clark Kent frames to look at the clock. Shit it's only 6:30. Dorian surveyed mess that covered the floor. Can't go back to sleep. Might as well get up. He straightened out the bedroom. Daria's side of his brain tried to fight the images of the night before from entering. I have to stay busy... keep focused on anything but Jane. (NEW!

• NEW! God Save the Esteem, by Charles RB (COMPLETE!): The wagon roared down the suburban street, grime and spray paint and rust striking fear into the hearts of all those middle-class. Fiery letters spelled out “MORBIDDORFFERS.” Inside, a man in ripped jeans and a leather jacket with no shirt, adorned with aging badges; safety pins in his ears and spiked green hair. To his side, a young girl in tight black leather everything, garish rips torn open at strategic places, a shock-pink crew cut. Behind him... a girl wearing a skirt and jacket, vegetating on an iPod.
• Jane Lane: Ace Attorney—Turnabout Teacher's Pet, by LSauchelli (Part 14): “And what kind of game do you think this is? This isn’t just silly art class you take as a hobby, this is the court and let me tell you that our firm is always, always on time. And your suit, what the heck is that? How much did it cost you? Five dollars in Ross? Seriously, lame, Lame. You’re a lawyer, you’re making our firm look bad and—”
• NEW! That Infernal Nonsense, by Ajar (Act I, Scene V-VII): "Would my character really sing? I mean, previously he could barely carry on a conversation." "Well, you're replacing Josephine as the love interest, and she sings here. We need to convey that you're the love interest." "Shouldn't you let the characters drive the story?" "It's a parody slash fic, it doesn't have to make sense." "You've certainly low standards for your own work."
• NEW! The Truth Behind... La Femme in Hiding, by Ken T. (COMPLETE!): [An old series of Daria tales comes to light! Enjoy!]
  
• The Yellow House Ficlet, by GlitterShrooms (COMPLETE!): “We’re here everyone! Isn’t this exciting Helen?” screamed Jake from the passenger seat of the Lexus. “Jake! Please! We’re right next to you. Besides, you and I have toured the house multiple times.” “I’m sorry dear,” muttered Jake. “Say Quinn, what do you think?”
• NEW! Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Modern Day Daria), by Ranger Thorne (COMPLETE!): Jane almost walked into Daria when the shorter girl stopped just inside the door to the Morgendorffer homestead. Looking over her shoulder, she could see a figure in blue and pink stretched out on the stairs. "Is she, uh," Jane began. "Asleep? Yep." Daria chuckled as she went to the closet under the stairs and began digging around. Looking closely, Jane could see that Quinn Morgendorffer had, indeed, fallen asleep on the stairs. She was face down, with her arms at her sides. And she was drooling.
