Arch_Schatten!!!

Happy birthday, hon! Hope all goes well.

And regards the drabble I promised ... I've got a Bruce/Shayera in the works, as well as a Bruce&Alfred follow-up to True Deceptions, and I hope to have them up in the next couple of days, though probably not tonight. I was wondering if either would appeal to you as a belated birthday present?

P/Q fic

Right. Jen wrote me Q a while back, and since then I've been kind of sniping at this thing in snatches in between ... well, all the other crap, and it's about as good as it's gonna get, so ...

Title: Thank you
Colloquial Title (because how could I resist?): Mind your P's and Q's
Rating: PG. A kiss involved, though.
Summary: an evening chat leads to revelations
Warnings: Slash. The kiss. And the fact that this pair make me absolutely, irredeemably SOPPY. So be warned.
Word count: something in excess of 4000
Disclaimer: don't own, don't sue.

Right. I finished two ridiculously long and horrible exams today, and I'm dead-beat. If there's a word that means more than exhausted, that's me. BUT, on the bright side, once I collapse today, I've tomorrow off to rest, and I *might*, just might, actually get some stuff done. *cross fingers*

And completely unrelated, and apropos of nothing, I found a couple of lines of G.M. Hopkins poem 'The Windhover' that are awesome, and for some reason fit with DCAU Hawkgirl in my head:

"My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,--the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!
Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here"

Brute beauty and valour and act ... damnit, that's just ... Hats off to the manic-depressive little Jesuit, but he sure had a way with words! That line is going to stick in my head forever. More than just Shayera. That is so many of my favourite people ... just six words that perfectly encapsulate an ideal. Damn the man. It's gorgeous!

Vegeta snippet

Okay. I'm tired and snarly and cranky, and I've two exams tomorrow and I've barely studied, and somehow ... this leads to Vegeta fic. *Snarly*, savage, Vegeta fic. He's such a good muse, that way. Anyway. Don't expect anything impressive. I've got to go pull my hair out some more, and panic about tomorrow.

Title: The Triumph of Blood
Rating: At least PG-13, for maybe rather disturbing content
Pairing: None. Just Vegeta
Summary: If you could go back in time, to a critical point in your life, to tell yourself *one* thing ... what would it be?
Warnings: Not mine. Violent. Again, rather savage. He just comes that way! Not my fault!

( What kind of stupid question was that? )

Apologies!

Okay, first and foremost I want to apologise to everybody for being absent for ages, and being completely antisocial and not talking to anyone ... I'm truly sorry, and I don't mean to ignore anyone.

Secondly, the reason for this, and the bad news (for me, anyway) is that this is not likely to change, owing to my triple-damned EXAMS. May is the cursed month. My last exam is on the 30th, and if the past week is anything to go by, I'm not going to enjoy it.

This isn't meant to be a moan-post, and I apologise for it coming across as such. All I wanted to say was sorry for not talking to everyone, and that if you've anything you want me to read, or if you're feeling incredibly charitable and lovely, and want to point me towards something that'll cheer me up, could you send me a heads-up? Because I've absolutely no energy left to go looking. And during the week, I've barely time to turn on the computer.

In short, I'm going to be a very *dim* presence for the next month. Forgive me.

Short fic. I think.

Another short, because it's all I've time to write these days. But ... I'm tempted to say "Nobody kill me!" for this one. It lodged in my brain, and refused to leave, but ... it's so, sooo wrong! Really, incredibly screwy. But anyway. Here you go.

Title: True Deceptions
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: ...... Alfred/J'onn. Young!Alfred / female!J'onn, but still. Help!
Summary: One of J'onn's disguises is someone Alfred recognises. From a long time ago, in a different world.
Disclaimer: The madness is mine. The characters aren't.
Warnings: Aside from the obvious? Cliches. Also, anyone know what you call it when it's het on one side of the equation, and slash on the other?

( Those were different days, Master J'onn. Deception was the name of the game, I do understand )

Drabble for stalinglim

Grotesquerie - Faces

I've come to realise that I have something of a morbid fascination with the grotesque, the lurid and the unusual. The normal things vaguely exaggerated to become strange and slightly horrible. So, bearing in mind that I'm a horrible, horrible person, I've got a sort of hobby of describing, in properly caricaturised fashion, the normal grotesques I seen every day.

Today's are faces. And please keep in mind that I am a terrible person, and exaggerating things a bit.

( Oh my )

Dresden Fic.

I just finished Small Favour. OMG. Awesome. And with all that happened to John, I had to write this. WARNING! SPOILERS! MAJOR SPOILERS.

Title: Momentary Understanding
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: sort of Harry/Marcone, but only preslash at the most
Summary: even crime lords need a moment of comfort
Warning: I repeat, SPOILERS. Of the kind that ruin the reading experience if you read this before the book. I am not joking. You are not allowed to look at this unless you finished the book, for your own sake!

( One of these days, I'm going to wrap my conscience up in a bag of catnip, and leave it for Mister to beat into submission. )

Nostalgia

Just looking back, now I've half a second to breathe, and I was wondering how many fandoms I've ever written in, in my internet career. And I've just realised that, in various incarnations of myself, I've written for *24* fandoms. Which maybe isn't much, but I never really mastered the art of the drabble, so most of those are actual fics. And the range ... I'm a very flighty person, you know that?

Put the list under the cut. Mostly just to remind myself, but if anyone's interested in seeing how random and occasionally weird I've been, you can have a look. Be warned. I'm dredging up baaaad history. Crimes against fanfiction and humanity in general. Things that should never, *ever* have seen the light of day.

( I can't even remember some of these )

Oh lordy lou. I have be a sad and twisted little girl, for so very long. And the scary thing?

I've enjoyed every minute of it.

Old B7 fic that's been lurking on my harddrive. Be kind. It's 17 different kinds of crap.

Title: Mutuality
Rating: PG-13 for some violence and darker musings
Pairing: Avon/Travis preslash. Yes. You read that right.
Disclaimer: don't own.
Summary: AU set just after Star One. If Avon and Travis never made it inside the base, and instead had to escape together after Blake sends everything to hell ... Put it this way. Anyone ever seen Enemy Mine?
A/N: Travis is more Travis1 than Travis2, despite timing. And this is crappy as hell, and I've never really revisited it, so I doubt it'll be continued.

I've been tagged!

Arch_schatten tagged me for this meme:
List ten fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) and tag 5 people to do the same.
Sound familiar? Anyway:

1) J'onn (DC)
2) Babs (DC)
3) Jadzia Dax (ST: DS9)
4) Susan Ivanova (Bab5)
5) Gentleman John Marcone (DF)
6) I hesitate to mention him, because he's based on a real person, but ... Tom Blood. (The Pyrates)
7) Crowley, even though he belongs with Aziraphale. (GO)
8) Cardinal Chang (GBDE)
9) Miss Temple (GBDE)
10) Ford Prefect (HHGG) just the once, probably while drunk, but still

Honourable (or dishonourable, depending on your point of view) mentions would be Javert (les Mis), Picard, Harry Dresden and Kincaid.

And I'm not tagging, because I think everyone I might have tagged has either done it, or been tagged already. But if you want to join in, feel free to blame me!

IMPORTANT: Okay. I have a question for people. If I were to put up the first chapter of a fic, like I'm going to do now, knowing full well that I won't get to the next chapter for a long time, possibly months, would ye all hate me for it?

If so, for the love of all that is good and holy, DO NOT READ THIS! Because I will be a while coming back to it.

That cleared up, here you go. I told arch_schatten I had to thank her for the idea ;)

Title: In the Hall of the Grey King
Rating: PG-13. Possibly higher whenever I get around to later chapters, but maybe not.
Pairing: J'onn/Bruce, Hades/Persephone, maybe later hints of other. But for this chapter, just the first, implied.
Summary: follows kinda from my J'onn&Hades short. Bruce is dead, in the Underworld. J'onn means to get him back.
Chpt summary: the start of the quest ...
Disclaimer: I own neither ancient legends, nor more modern ones.
Warning: sort of ... crappy

Vegeta fic

My DBZ muses are suddenly up and running. Strange. They've rarely been before. But here's a kind of horrible little Vegeta fic, anyway. And my eyes are a bit scratchy, so please forgive the numerous spelling and grammatical errors found within. I'll fix them after I sleep.

Title: Stand
Rating: PG-13, maybe higher, for violence.
Characters: Goku, Vegeta. Not paired (unless you squint real hard)
Disclaimer: Who the hell owns DBZ, anyway? Not me.
Summary: Goku wants to know why Vegeta fights the way he does. So the dragon shows him.
Warnings: uh, a little savage.

Sorta Help?

Okay. I'm trying to get the muses moving again (a cattle-prod might be nice), and the fav character meme gave me an idea. Anyone up for a round of crack conversations? I think Filly did this once.

But if you want to give me a couple (or more) characters, preferably from different fandoms, that you want to see have a conversation / fight / night-of-passion / all-of-the-above, drop me a line and I'll try to write a drabble/fic. The meme gives you a list of fandoms I can do, but I can also throw in Holmes, and a little ST:VOY, ST:DS9 on the trek front.

Any and all donations to this cause would be appreciated, and hopefully it'll knock my muses' union rep heavily over the head!
