So it's the 500th prompt over at slash_the_drabble, and I got inspired. Funny how that works, eh?

The prompt was 'Fantasies', and this...happened. :D
At AO3


Title from Daydream Believer by the Monkees

Okay, so - drabble last, good cause first. Ian is a ftm trans kid (well, 19), and one of the Monstrous Bebe's oldest friends. She met him in...seventh grade? I think? I dunno. Anyway - Ian's been taking T for about six months, and is trying to get a top (mastectomy) surgery. And so has a go-fund-me page set up.

If you can please donate, or please signal-boost...that would be awesome. Ian's a great kid, dealing with a lot of crap (some family stuff, some depression/anxiety), and this would be a big step up in helping with his self-esteem issues as well as just...living a better life.

Ian's Top Surgery.
Thank you, my dear flist, for any help you can give.


The drabble is for slashthedrabble's prompt 'Leather'. And I went old school - Spike/Xander. :) darkhavens did the beta *of course*. (And sweptawaybayou did one, too - old-school David/Christian! Leather.)

This is the 600 word edition i wrote (and DH beta'd), but it's not at the comm because the limit there is 500 words. (And i worked 'til 11, it's past 2 a.m., and my brain is toast, so i could *not* cut it to 500. So DH did. SHE IS AWESOME. Read her edited version at the comm

So! I did actually post more of that 'Obsession' Christian Kane/Jason Behr story, but I didn't post it here. So now i'll post both the 'old' bit and the new stuff.

Also - i have been reading so many *amazing* Steve/Bucky post Winter Soldier fics...DAMN. Makes me want to write *so much more* in that 'verse. I'm working on a second bit to my first one, so.... Soon, i hope? And working on Space AU, and yes, *still* on the charity auction fics, though those winners probably hate me by now.....
Sheesh.

My work has been horribly boring and tedious and the hours are stupid and i'm trying to find something else. Too bad i'm not an accountant, because they seem to be needed a lot. But wow, could not do that job.

Anyway - here's the bits of the 'Obsession' 'verse that are new. Of course, they're all over at slashthedrabble, as well as new drabbles in many fandoms ever week, so go check out the comm! :)

These two are for the prompts 'Alcohol' and 'Illegal'

Takes place immediately after Murder By Numbers.

Hope everybody is well and keeping warm! We had ice and then snow and then melt and then more ice and snow. Ridiculous!

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.

I know!
When do i do this?!

Well, when i'm desperate to post but nothing is *ready* and i've got ely_jan on IM.
So, these are all hers. *snuggles her*
She asked for 'Spike, alone - jasmine', 'Wes, Lindsey, s5 last hours' and 'Gunn watching Illyria after she got him out of Hell'.

Enjoy!
