Blackbirds & Crows

At last, part two!
And it goes up unbeta'd. But - corrections will be made as soon as it's not nearly one a.m. on a 'school night'.

I have an amazing time writing these boys and this 'verse - so glad to have dipped a toe back in! Thanks, everyone, for coming along. :)

Part One

Yēsū Jīdū - Jesus Christ


( With No Direction Home )





Author's Notes: I could not have done this without the excellent resources of this timeline at the The Firefly and Serenity Database. Also, the now defunct but Wayback-able FireflyWiki Timeline, and the FireflyWiki Cortex Lexicon. There's also the List of Firefly Planets and Moons.

Chinese translations are from this marvelous site. I don't intend for The Academy to equal the Initiative, but the comparison is a fair one, i'd say.


ETA: Now with the fabulous beta stylings of darkhavens!

Hello!

First, a belated but nonetheless heartfelt greeting to sweptawaybayou. Many happy returns of the day! Luff ya, bb. :)

Second - Show! Wheeeee! I had such a blast watching. Watched again with darkhavens and it was just as awesome the second time around.

( Cut for episode spoilers )


In other news...we got snow! It lasted about three days, heh. Now the yard is a glorious mud hole that Annalee the gog delights in plowing around in. Even though it's been below freezing most nights and some days, the moles are apparently still active and she goes nuts trying to dig them up. Freakin' moles.

I have decided that 2012 shall be the year of finishing the stuff in the WIP folder! After i post my rekindlespangel fic on the 21st. So hopefully, more fic from me this year! I'm also contemplating signing up for the spn_j2_bigbang this year. I just need to be totally sure i have a story that will fulfill the word count minimum.

Hope the new year is treating you all well - be safe, have fun! Oh and - anyone out there watching Pan Am?

*smooches*


ETA: Via a comment by darkhavens site="livejournal.com">....
I NEED that drunk 'remember when...?' episode. Or possibly fic. It would be an AWESOME comment fic meme thing: Reply to this post with a 'remember when...?' about Bobby, as recounted by a drunk Dean, Sam or Jodi. *g*

I TOTALLY AGREE! I shall start!!

*waves at sweptawaybayou*

Hiya, bay-bee!
Well, here we go, part two. Hope you like it! It's so *odd* to write these two, but i do like it.
Title and cut tag text are from the Robert Graves poem, Two Fusiliers.
Part one is here.




( Show me the two so closely bound As we, by the red bond of blood, By friendship, blossoming from mud... )




Part three.

A few days ago, sweptawaybayou answered a slashthedrabble challenge, number 85, 'David Bowie Song Titles'. Snow picked Sex and the Church... As if *anyone* was suprised. Heeee.

She wrote Redeeming Spiritual Qualities from Angel's POV and then challenged *me* to write it from Spike's POV. So, i did.

'Cause she roxors, that's why.
Enjoy!

*i almost titled this et in arcadia ego but that was too pretentious, even for me*
