Blackbirds & Crows

We'll call this 'Obsession 'verse' because, really - that's what it is. I started writing the next bit off the newest prompt (The Police song titles) and got a little...carried away.

So almost 1500 words later, I'm done, but - ha! - not exactly a drabble *or* even a ficlet. So on the advice of the ever-smrt darkhavens, I posted a 200 word snippet at slashthedrabble, and I'm posting the whole piece *here*.

So. :)

I am so pleased that that comm is back up! I love that i'm writing more. I really really really need to *write more*. On all kinds of things. (Yes, you people who won fic off me, i'm still working on them, you are not abandoned, i just really suck right now!!)

Thanks again, darkhavens for the beta. AND, for finding the only word-count app on the entire Interwebs that counts correctly! G-docs and a host of others count html and all kinds of things, and we could *not* get an accurate word count. (And counting by hand, finally, showed us I was short when online counts showed us I was *over*.) CharacterCountOnline rocks.

Previous installments here and at SlashTheDrabble.



( Murder By Numbers )

Yes, at last! I am so pokey, it's horrible. But, this fic *will* be finished, and sooner rather than later.

In other news - it's cold, it's sleet-drizzling, my job is tedious, our Xmas tree is awesome. :) We got a nice, big, fat cedar this year, which really - yay! I love a good cedar tree. I'll post a picture soon - before the actual day. 'Cause i know you're all dying to see, heh.

Anyway - here we go. darkhavens Beta'd for me, of course.

And there we have it. Enjoy!

Part eleven.

Hello, lovelies! Finally, some new stuff, eh? I'm really very pleased and grateful that you all are still reading and not getting horribly annoyed and impatient with my slow progress. Thank you!

As always, darkhavens did the final poke, prod and tidy, polishing to perfection. What would I do without her? :)

And, on a random, fandom note.... I caved and watched the season 10 promo for Show.
HOMFG!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Now, onto the show!
Which is also on AO3.
Warning: There is talk of and a desire for death/suicide in this chapter.




( We were the formal nightmare, grief.... )


Part nine

*waves*
Finally, i know! Sorry about that, guys. Anyway - i'm also working on my fanwork auction fics - never fear! Well, on two of them. Still need a prompt from one person, but yes - they're happening!

'Tis the season here for my favorite flower in the world - the chicory flower. *happy sigh* Chicory and Queen Anne's Lace - love 'em! (For those who aren't sure what chicory is like... :) Lovely stuff.

And now...the fic. Thanks for staying with me, guys. :) All praise and thanks heaped upon darkhavens for her ever-perfect beta'ing.

Also at AO3.



( Quite lost, and all but all forgot.... )

Here we go here we go, new part! :) All polished and shiny, thank you, darkhavens.

Hope you enjoy! And don't forget - offering three fanfics over at the auction, you have until July 3rd to bid!

( Qemuel - Destroyed by God )


For visual's sake:
Malik = Charles Malik Whitfield
Kane = Christian Kane
Lt. Wisdom = Robert Wisdom
Gunny Morgan = Jeffery Dean Morgan


Part Three

Yes, i have succumbed, i am doing the prompts out of order! Because i am lame like that, and weak, and can't resist sweptawaybayou's internet puppy eyes. :)
ETA: deirdre_c wanted a China Sea timestamp, too - i'd totally overlooked her!

So - ten years after South China Sea. Bad things are happening in the world, and the boys...cope. With bonus Kane/Boreanaz and a touch of angst at the end, just. For. Snow. :) Enjoy, bay-bee!
darkhavens did the beta, of course. Thank you, you wonderful person you! :)

Supplemental to this: Born on the Fourth of July.

This is my j2_everafter fic - finally! I wanted to be done sooner but let myself get distracted.

It's a fic that is - as per comm rules - based on a Disney movie. In this case, 'Swiss Family Robinson', though it's a bit more on the 'book' side than the 'movie' side.

Beta'd, as always, but the fabulous and amazing darkhavens, and cheered on - what would i do without you? - by sweptawaybayou. I've been so excited about this challenge - yay, to posting!
:)

The first and second 'journal' entry are taken in whole or in part from the book by Johann David Wyss. The title, oddly enough, is from the Robert Plant song 'Ship of Fools'. It played in my head for hours the day i finished it, so....seemed like a good idea. Quote is from Resolution and Independence by William Wordsworth. Enjoy!



( At My Feet, Eternity.... )

Part Two.

Okay! This is new. Oh, so new. And rather shocking, if you know me. But i will deflect that shock by stating quite firmly that this is all sweptawaybayou's fault. Utterly, totally, and completely her fault.

Also, all for her. :)
*luffs*

What we have here is RPS. Yes yes. AU RPS, even! I know, i know. It's been - wow - years. Since the Cracktrailer. Anyway. This is actually set in the most historically interesting of times to me, the Vietnam War. I can't get enough of it, for some reason.

I hope you all enjoy! Beta'd, as per usual, by the lovely and talented darkhavens.



( South China Sea )



Timestamp, ten years later. History Like Bones.

ETA: catsbycat has oh-so-graciously made art for this fic! And it's truly amazing. Go see! JT and 'Sarge'. *scroll a little* And the boys together - some rare downtime.
