Yuletide 2025, here we go!
Oct. 28th, 2025 05:45 amHello!! I hope you’re feeling excited and inspired! If you are hoping for a little more info, I’ve got a lot of rambling for you here, but feel free to ignore it all (except the DNWs haha).
YULETIDE 2K24!!
Oct. 18th, 2024 03:54 pmDear Yuletide author, hello!!
Thank you for sharing a tiny fandom with me! This exchange gives me such joy every year, and my greatest wish from you is that you have a good time writing your story. I am not picky at all - as long as you stay away from my do-not-wants and have fun with your writing process and enjoy the canon, I’m gonna be over the moon.
If you want more direction than that, though, I’m happy to provide!
Here is a list of general likes/favorite tropes/favorite kinks from yuletide’s past!
Re: my current requests:
YULETIDE 2020!!
Oct. 25th, 2020 11:03 amHello, Yuletide Author!
First off, I am so excited to read your story! I'm already excited that we share one of these tiny fandoms of my heart, and very likely, anything you write that speaks to your joy with the fandom will also speak to mine - so long as you don't hit my DNWs, you can just write what moves YOU! But if you want more guidance, here's a lot of rambling...

Dear Trick or Treater!
Sep. 18th, 2020 10:16 amThis is my first year doing this exchange and I don't know why I haven't done it before?? I LOVE HALLOWEEN?? Eerie explorations of my favorite canons are my JAM?? I am so easy for ghost/horror stories, especially ones in which the horrors in question have an alarming fondness for the humans in their clutches. And I ALSO love salty sweet cotton candy treats full of flirting and bantering and kisses, and frankly when tricks and treats combine I am OVER THE MOON.
...Anyway, I'm super excited to participate!
Here's a rundown of my general likes:
Tropes/themes: found families, hurt/comfort, loyalty (esp if people are grumpy about their devotion), fuck or die sex pollen type scenarios, forced to share a bed scenarios, flirting via banter/sarcasm, flirting via text/letter, people being jealous/insecure and getting comforted/reassured, people being oblivious to their own appeal, PINING I really love mutual pining, fix-it fic where the sad part of a canon gets happily resolved, fake-dating, accidental marriage, soul-bonding, people rescuing each other from peril of any sort, hidden injuries that are revealed when the injured person dramatically collapses from their own attempted stoicness and then requires tons of comforting/care/scolding, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, magical transformations, telepathy/thought-sharing, bodyswap, gender/sex swap, role reversals, GHOST STORIES, vampires, anything creepy/eerie/halloweenesque, murder mysteries, culture clashes between species…
Ratings: Anything goes! I truly love a good kiss as much as a sex scene, so don't feel stressed if smut's not your thing. Re: actual porn, honestly as long as both parties are sentient and at least dubiously consenting, I’m down for basically whatever (with very few caveats, see the DNW section).
Kinks: frottage, clothed sex, coming in pants, forced orgasms, orgasm denial, overstimulation, multiple orgasms, loving attention being paid to bruises, possessiveness, hair-pulling, biting, rough sex, hate sex, FIRST TIMES, virgins, intensity in general, trust/vulnerability, aftercare, comeplay, oral sex, marathon sex, face riding, mouths used/bruised, fingering, surprise orgasms, squirting, sounding, prostate milking, sex pollen, A/B/O, dubcon, begging, dirty talk, masturbation, exhibitionism, size difference, anatomical surprises that wind up being REALLY GREAT for both parties involved, cross-cultural sexual confusion, one party getting off on the other's orgasm/pleasure, body worship, scent-marking, marking in general, competence kink, praise kink
Stuff I Do NOT Like AKA the DNW List:
1. Please no straight-up non-con, bestiality, infantilism, body-shaming, non-canonical death, break-ups, suicide, pregnancy, miscarriage, or child harm.
2. 100% sadness is NOT my thing. Some angst is fine! Love creepy horror! I just don't want anything that's mostly about despair, depression, total giving up of hope, etc.
Okay, ON TO THE FANDOMS:

Treat Prompt:
ANYTHING with them being sweet soppy gooey husbands. Binghe realizing how gone SQQ is for him and feeling comfortable enough to tease him. SQQ learning how to top his husband into a puddle of bliss, OR service!top Binghe... or SQQ/Shen Yuan being actually really into the idea of being one of Binghe's wives... sexy harem roleplay, anyone? OH OH and a huge weakness of mine is SQQ revealing his transmigration and Binghe getting to know more about his nerdy obsessive husband A-Yuan. OR, make them wives and explore Binghe's heavenly peaks. I'd be deeply into that (as would Shen Yuan...). Mutual possessiveness is always A+ with these two! Quiet domestic moments, sexy moments, or cute AUs with role-swaps (Binghe as a transmigrator? BINGHE AS A SYSTEM?)... really, the sky's the limit for sweetness with these two.
Trick prompt:
There's a TON to work with here re: body horror and eerieness. Something playing with Binghe's horror of his own heritage/self? Ideally combined with Shen Yuan/SQQ revealing (grudgingly/awkwardly) that he's super into Binghe's terrifying monstrous demon lord self, whatever that might entail... maybe something that involves nightmaresharing? OR TENTACLES? IDK! Or there's the horror that really doesn't get explored in the canon of SQQ's plant body, and waking up in a grave. Anything exploring plant!Shizun and how it might have gone if he'd never gotten his original body back... Or what if he ACTUALLY woke up in his own unliving body, zombie style? OR, Shen Yuan/SQQ being badass and obsessively nerdy re: monsters and the abyss in general DELIGHTS me. Feel free to have him go full academic nerd and obsessively catalogue all the creepiness he can find! :D
Fandom: Night at the Museum (Movies)
Characters: Jedidiah, Octavius

Characters: Gus Balfour, Jack Miller
Treat prompt:
I DESPERATELY NEED SOME SEXUAL RESOLUTION AND/OR FIX-IT FIC FOR THIS FANDOM. Maybe telegraph-sexts? Maybe Gus never gets appendicitis? Maybe ALGIE does, and leaves Jack and Gus alone in the cabin?? Or I’d be very interested in some Gus POV on the book, on how he falls for Jack... Or idk a modern university AU where Jack somehow accidentally adopts a dog even though (he thinks) he HATES dogs and has to keep asking his extremely fit biology/veterinary neighbor for help with the mutt and it has zero to do with any FEELINGS he’s just tired of the dog PEEING ON ALL HIS POSSESSIONS and EATING HIS WALLS when he’s in class... IDK something along those lines, don’t feel you have to use any of my ideas verbatim! GO WITH WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
Trick prompt: I do adore the canon setting and all of its play on light and dark, the feeling of isolation and losing touch with reality, so absolutely feel free to expand on any of that! Again, Gus's POV would be amazing for this - what was the haunting like from his side? I’m also deeply up for a SPACE AU and a haunted lunar/martian outpost, or a deep sea research station, or some kind of modern detective AU sans ghosts but WITH serial killers... really so many options here!
(Freaky ghost!sex definitely an option for either treat or trick... should you be inclined...)

Fandom: Night at the Museum (Movies)
Characters: Jedidiah, Octavius
Treat Prompt: Jedidiah and Octavius are both SO DUMB and SO IN LOVE. Go nuts with this. Something set in the first movie, where they are just starting to move past enemies into frenemies into Epic Bromance, maybe? Or a sexy scene while Octavius is in the stocks at some point... maybe he gets turned on by being restrained and Jedidiah notices omg??? OR confused make-outs mid-battle?? Due to magical sex pollen or some kind of weird curse? Or later in the series, with Octavius pining for oblivious Jedidiah, who FINALLY GETS A CLUE after they hold hands that last time? Or MAXIMUM SWEETNESS, have them get married under the planetarium in a ceremony officiated by Dum Dum while Larry weeps. Give me a Star Trek AU or a Star Wars AU or ANYTHING. GIVE THEM A YOUTUBE CHANNEL or make them famous on TikTok! SO MANY OPTIONS, SO LITTLE TIME.
Trick Prompt: DAMN, there is so much unexplored eerieness/horror in the whole premise of this canon. What happened to the original Jedidiah and Octavius - were they made up entirely from bits and pieces of other historical figures and folklore? WHAT even ARE they now, really? Is there anything plastic or unreal about them when the tablet brings them back to "life"? Feel free to explore the uncanny valley of their existence! BUT if there's a way to keep their shippy enemies-to-friends-to-lovers/soulmates OTP vibe in this trick, I'd love it.

Yuletide Letter 2K19!
Nov. 3rd, 2019 10:57 amHiiiiii! I'll try to jazz this letter up a bit if I have time - usually I add some additional prompts/information about what I love about the fandom, but for NOW, it's just the basics!

I DESPERATELY NEED SOME SEXUAL RESOLUTION AND/OR FIX-IT FIC FOR THIS FANDOM. Maybe telegraph-sexts? Maybe Gus never gets appendicitis? Maybe ALGIE does, and leaves Jack and Gus alone there in the cabin?? OR hey, I’m absolutely in favor of a ghost/human ending where Gus travels the seas until he finds Jack on one of those miserable anniversaries. MAYBE HE CONTACTS JACK FROM THE BEYOND VIA TELEGRAPHS. Or, keeping more canonically, I’d be very interested in some Gus POV on the book, how he falls for Jack.
I do adore the canon setting and all of its play on light and dark, but I’m also deeply up for an AU of any kind, honestly. A modern ghost AU that’s set up like Lockwood & Co.! Or OH MAN, SPACE and a haunted lunar/martian outpost, or a deep sea research station, or some kind of modern detective AU sans ghosts but WITH serial killers, or idk a modern university AU where Jack somehow accidentally adopts a dog even though (he thinks) he HATES dogs and has to keep asking his extremely fit biology/veterinary neighbor for help with the mutt and it has zero to do with any FEELINGS he’s just tired of the dog PEEING ON ALL HIS POSSESSIONS and EATING HIS WALLS when he’s in class. *waves hand* IDK something along those lines, don’t feel you have to use any of my ideas verbatim!

Fandom: Lockwood & Co. - Jonathan StroudCharacters: The Skull, Holly Munro, Lucy Carlyle
Sign-up Prompt:
So I just love this series and these characters. Don’t feel you have to go shippy – I’d be very very interested in just a character piece exploring the Skull’s history, his POV on the events of the series. He’s one of my favorite characters of all time, and I’d love to get his perspective on Lucy especially. Or a story about Lucy post-books, reuniting with her family and sisters, maybe? Orrrrr alternately, a story focusing on Holly – her POV, family, experiences. I love Holly and I wish the series gave us more of her, and if you want to write a Holly-centric fic that ignores the other two characters, PLEASE DO.
Re: Holly/Lucy, I ship it to bits, and would love for Lucy to realize she’s not just into how beautiful Holly is out of jealousy, or for some Holly POV, frustrated that she’s got a crush on a straight girl in the midst of all this actual life-threatening drama (but with the happy ending that OH LUCY IS ACTUALLY NOT AS STRAIGHT AS ANTICIPATED).
SO. If you’re up for it, Lucy/Skull would be amazing – I realize this may be slightly tricky re: the Skull and ghost touch and all that, but I feel like it can be gotten around with some handwaving and/or exhibitionism/voyeurism (esp if you want to go a Lucy/Lockwood/Skull angle, because I’m totally down for that)! If this is your bag, I BELIEVE IN YOU GO FOR THE GHOST/GIRL CONNECTION.
But yeah, none of this shippiness appeals, seriously, DO NOT WORRY. I would love a case-fic post-series, with the gang maybe setting out to close more of Marissa's gates, or the Skull becoming a real member of the lockwood&co team and what that looks like for everyone, or an AU set IN SPACE SOMEHOW I DON’T EVEN KNOW. Ghosts appearing IN THE DEPTHS OF SPACE?? Alien ghosts?? What if instead of ghosts VAMPIRES are an issue? Or DEMONS? IDK I just love these characters, please do whatever you want with them and I will enjoy it.

Fandom: Night at the Museum (Movies)
Characters: Jedidiah, Octavius
Sign-up Prompt:
Jedidiah and Octavius are both SO DUMB and SO IN LOVE. Go nuts with this. Have them get married under the planetarium in a ceremony officiated by Dum Dum while Larry weeps. Have an AU with time traveling between the Wild West and Ancient Rome if you can swing it! Give me a Star Trek AU or a Star Wars AU or ANYTHING. Have them solve mysteries in the museum. GIVE THEM A YOUTUBE CHANNEL or make them Instagram famous and have Larry run ragged by their e-shenanigans!
And of course I am EXTREMELY INVESTED in their discovering their feelings. Feel free to go as tropey as hell with this, go for soulmate soulmark shenanigans or whathave you! Or keep it real with some old-fashioned pining, or Jedidiah’s dawning realization of JEALOUSY when Octavius keeps complimenting Lancelot’s eyes in the 3rd movie. Give me Jedidiah blushing madly when they hold hands and Octavius being delighted. GIVE ME THEM KISSING IN THE TINY CAR. HAVE JEDIDIAH TEACH OCTAVIUS TO DANCE AND OCTAVIUS BLUSHING LIKE MAD. Give me everyone assuming they’re dating already and being HORRIFIED AND APPALLED when Jedidiah starts flirting badly with a visiting exhibition or whatever. JEDIDIAH YOU ARE MARRIED HOW COULD YOU. Maybe if you go the youtube channel route their viewers ship them, and they're like "...ship?" and fall into the rabbit-hole of fandom??? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
I will take any and all of these or anything you come up with at all tbh for these, my tiny idiots, so long as they have a happy ending. :D

Characters: Luo Binghe, Shen Qingqiu | Shen Yuan
Sign-up Prompt:
OH MAN. Basically, I just want more happiness for these two. As long as they are happy in the end, I’m going to love it! My main request: happiness for Luo Binghe. I adore Shen Qingqiu’s mix of internal screaming and external poise, how absolutely GONE he is for Binghe, and I just really want to see some of Binghe getting to know more of the Shen Yuan side of his husband (and being utterly charmed/tickled by it). Luo Binghe POV of anything at all involving him would be a dream.
Other prompts: the possibility for tropes in this fandom are absolutely endless – thanks for that, Airplane Bro! - so if you have a favorite one in mind, please, go nuts! Sex pollen/demon flowers? Sure! What about time travel? Definitely doable! DREAM-SHARING??? COMPLETELY CANON, and would be A DELIGHT TO EXPLORE, especially in a sexy way, or in a way that makes canon go off the rails! Or a demon artifact causes TELEPATHY to happen!! This would be great at literally any point, canon or post-canon bc lol what if LUO BINGHE DISCOVERED THE SYSTEM EXISTED oh man.
Alternately, I’m DEEPLY WEAK for competent badass Shen Qingqiu and would love to see him rescue Binghe from anything – Shen Qingqiu defending Binghe in any way is my kryptonite, and after the novel, I just want LOTS of nice things for Binghe and him realizing how very smitten and adoring and devoted and protective and possessive his Shizun is of him. Shen Qingqiu | Shen Yuan himself is so insecure and unselfaware in so many ways, I’d love to see that explored! And if you want to explore a very demonic-blooded inhuman body parts in parts of his pants!Luo Binghe, please feel very free. TENTACLES ARE A PLUS but not required.
But yes, my main prompt: HAPPINESS. I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM BEING HAPPY TOGETHER, IN SOME WAY
***
Fandom: Temeraire - Naomi Novik
Characters: William Laurence, Temeraire, Tenzing Tharkay
Sign-up Prompt:
MY ETERNAL YULEFANDOM. I MISS ALL OF THEM SO MUCH. I NEED MORE OF THEM IN MY LIFE. Tharkay POV on any of the book scenes, future fic with Temeraire and Laurence and Tharkay living together, visiting China together…. I could go for virtually anything. LET YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDE.
If you've been yearning for a Tharkay-centric exploration of the implications of dragons in the colonial, imperial world, please give me it, I would read thousands upon thousands of words of Tharkay's thoughts and history and backstory and narrative and whatever role reversals you might want to play with - maybe he gets a dragon first, and then meets Laurence, who is a dragon transport captain or something? IDEK. I JUST WANT MORE OF HIM.
Oh, but if you’ve been wanting to write dragon/human captain fic for years, HELLO I AM YOUR RECIPIENT. Super down for the xeno and all the associated problem-solving of size differences. Alternatively, if you think Temeraire would be the most adorable possessive symbiote ala Venom, YES ME TOO. If you think Temeraire would be an amazing sentient ship or something and want to set this in SPACE OH WOW yes PLEASE COME AT ME. Or oh oh PROMARE AU. IDEK. I WANT IT.
Canonically speaking, if you can’t get enough of Tharkay’s epic crush and Laurence’s dawning realization that his feelings are mutual, HI AM HERE PLEASE LET ME LOVE YOU. I am totally happy for Temeraire to be left out of the shipping and Tharkay/Laurence to take center stage, and their post-book relationship to be explored, or for Tharkay's POV on book scenes/missing scenes! A canon AU where it's totally chill to be gay and homophobia isn't real (the wish-fulfillment dream...). A Pern AU! Honestly, go nuts, I just love this fandom and these characters forever.

Characters: Hua Cheng, Xie Lian
Sign-up Prompt:
Characters: Hua Cheng, Xie Lian
Sign-up Prompt:
Hua Cheng!!! I LOVE HIM. Anything of his POV, of his side of events and all the missing moments from the novel. How he felt seeing Xie Lian for the first time at the marriage sedan, or in the casino, or in the coffin… I’d be interested in seeing him interact with Xie Lian’s friends, too – Mu Qing and Fen Xing especially, but also Wind Master!! Obviously they’re all gonna have to get along somewhat, because I can’t see Xie Lian post-book not just happily visiting everyone with his HUSBAND, who is BACK, and bringing him to any and every court event possible, and trying to help with all of everyone’s many problems. (Side note: I absolutely ship MQ/FX and Shi Qing Xuan/He Xuan Water and Pei Ming/Rain Master and Yin Yu/QYZ), so if you want to include that and XL being a matchmaker somehow FEEL FREE).
I’d love to see Hua Cheng get flustered by his husband at any point, any soft little moments between the two – Xie Lian tries to make him breakfast in bed, the bed catches fire, etc etc – OR, I’d love to see them being mutual badasses together, helping solve a crime or a mystery.
Oh, and I’m VERY weak to Hua Cheng being a shapeshifter and having a female form, if that’s something you’d like to explore! Maybe Xie Lian for whatever reason does have to take on a female form himself, and some adorable lesbian shenanigans ensue? Alternately (OR NOT) I'm very into exploring some of the more demonic/ghostly sides of Hua Cheng in bed - cold/icy/bitey and possibly vampiric... horned/ridged/tentacled... however you want to explore that... USE OF BUTTERFLIES IN BED IS ALSO AN OPTION, ditto inclusion of e-Ming or Ruoye... BUT ALSO FEEL FREE TO IGNORE THIS OKAY BYE.

Dear 2018 Yuletide Author!
Oct. 23rd, 2018 04:43 pmIT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Hi, writer! I’m so excited for this yuletide, and I hope you enjoy my letter and working with these prompts. Also, head’s up, most of this letter is recycled from previous years… only a few fandoms have changed! And apologies for taking a few days to unlock – it’s been a hectic week!
Also… so….. I didn't have space to actually request Venom, but I am super into that movie/dynamic, and you have carte blanche to do a Venom fusion with any of my requests if that idea moves you! Otherwise, totally ignore the goo movie - I adore all these canons enough without added aliens.

Dear Yule Goat
Oct. 7th, 2017 05:32 pmHello, my writer! I’m excited to Yuletide with you this year and delighted we’ve matched on one of my favorite canons! You’ve already won me over by offering one of the fandoms of my heart, so honestly, everything else is icing on the cake – with all of these canons I just want MORE and if you give me that you will already have won Yuletide. However, if you’d like a bit more to go on than that, here’s a bunch of me rambling away on the topic of fics and fandoms and such! Probably more than anyone could ever want or need but I GET EXCITED, SORRY.
QUICK WARNING: there's spoilers below, re: all the fandoms I'm requesting, so read with caution!
( HERE BE SPOILERS )
*collapses in a heap*
May. 1st, 2010 08:19 amCan I get a motherfucking drumroll, guys? The story I have had in my head for years--literally, for years--is done. Not entirely. I'm not completely satisfied with it. But the bones of all the major scenes, I've got them laid out and arranged, and wow. Done. And in time for bandom big bang. I am verklempt. And, uh, about to edit as though my life depended on it for the next month, but still. DONE, YOU GUYS. DONE. 85K (probably more when I'm done with it). I am fucking insane, and also? TRIUMPHANT.
So, I am hella behind on comments and flists and book discussions, but I will catch up! Possibly after a long series of naps. And then I will resume work on numerous other fics I am meant to be writing. ...I am a lunatic. BUT STILL.
DONE, YOU GUYS. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? NO, NOR I.

softlyforgotten: a very very belated birthday gift (I started it thinking it'd be possibly 5000 words. AHAHAHA.) Mik, it is possible that no one else in the world will find this the slightest bit appealing, but I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.
Title: Carrying Dangerous Goods
Fandom: Generation Kill/Temeraire
Pairings: Brad/Ray, Brad/OFC, Ray/OMC+one Temeraire character
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~46,000
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
Summary: From the Signal Code of the Royal Navy and His Majesty's Aerial Corps: B, or Bravo -- I am taking in, or discharging, or carrying dangerous goods. Author's Note: This is a story about Ray and Brad growing up together. Also, there are dragons.
...
Okay, so basically I shoved the GK boys into 19th century Napoleonic England, added Naomi Novik's dragons, shook vigorously, and thenRAN LIKE THE HELL hoped for the best. I tried to keep the dialogue as true to the characters AND to the period as possible, probably with mixed success. There's no spoilers for the Generation Kill series within; there is for the Temeraire universe, however, particularly the third book, Black Powder War, though most of the events of the books happen outside the parameters of this fic.
If you are unfamiliar with the Temeraire universe, basically the premise is this: humanity has always co-existed with an intelligent species of dragons, who form strong bonds with individuals, their captains, and were an instrumental part of the British military during the Napoleonic wars (and, uh, other wars, too, but that is not entirely relevant at the moment). Hopefully the fic is mostly self-explanatory, but there are a few key facts to keep in mind: one being that dragons choose their captains upon leaving the shell, and another being that the Aerial Corp is in some ways very different from average British society of the time. For example, one particularly important breed of dragon, the Longwing, which spits acid and was often crucial to military endeavors, would only take on female captains. Yes. The Corps has female military captains, with full equivalency to any male in any other part of the military. You can imagine this would cause a bit of a to-do in traditional 19th century British society, so it was kept a bit hush-hush unless absolutely necessary.
If there are any questions re: the Temeraire universe or draconic terminology, this wiki should help.
If there are any questions re: 19th century British slang, this e-book from Project Gutenburg should help. (PS THEY USED TO CALL THE PENIS A SUGAR STICK. JSYK, I AM HUGELY AMUSED. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH WRITING THIS FIC.)
Also, now is the time I heap thanks on a billion people. Tons of you have read snippets and sometimes the entire shebang, and were utterly fantastic, and much thanks to you all, but I'd like to specifically thanklaliandra, shiningartifact, and brimtoast. laliandra was a total darling and agreed to help me brit-pick this monster, despite having no idea who any of the GK boys are. I heart her forever. brimtoast, beta extraordinaire, who pointed out numerous typographical and pacing issues, and poked me until I elaborated on both plot and porn. Thank you for your pithy, insightful comments, as ever, bbdoll. And shiningartifact, who held my hand every step of the way and convinced me this wasn't all a load of total twaddle, and was a fantastic beta besides. I cannot thank any of them enough.
Also, one day there will likely be a sequel. One day. ONE DAY. I have it plotted out and everything, But, um, don’t hold your breath, because it will be a while for sure. :|

I swear I don't want to kill any of you!
Apr. 18th, 2010 01:06 amSo, recently adellyna had a mix exchange, and someone put up the request for a 'non-emo sociopath mix.' Damn straight, I jumped on that shit.
I'll just go ahead and put up the caveat now: I am not actually a murdering pyschopath. But I do love horror movies! And it turns out I have a number of songs in my musical selection that fits that M.O. pretty well. And, uh, if anyone else is interested, you can download it, too! Really, it's quite a cheerful-sounding mix, in my opinion.
I'll just ignore the chirping crickets and move on.
Check out this motherfucking cover adellyna made, because she is my savior and a Photoshop goddess, whereas I barely know what a layer is. I am like a caveman, seriously.
Damn, that is some insanely menacing and yet perfectly bland and placid shit. I am in awe, you guys. MARVEL AT THAT COVER.
Anyway, for those who are interested, here's the playlist and bits of the lyrics. Basically, the album's meant to be a progression: from social disconnect, to an interest in murder, to being hospitalized, to picking out victims, and then to going cheerfully insane and actually killing them. Wow, it sounds dark when I lay it out, but seriously, the songs are all pretty upbeat!
( man, now you're all going to defriend me, aren't you? )
fOkay, so, I was filling a drabble prompt over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
we_pimpin, the Ray Person Appreciation community (because Ray is the motherfucking answer, in case you didn't know already), and somehow this happened instead. I don't even know.
Title: Take Two Marines (And Call Me In The Morning)
Fandom: Generation Kill
Rating/Pairing: Brad/Nate/Ray, NC-17.
Notes/Thanks: This takes place right after Ray leaves the football field in the Bomb in the Garden episode, and is my version of fix-it fic. I wanted to give Ray a giant hug at the end of the show, and, so. Uh. Instead I wrote him a threesome, which is like a hug, but better? ...WHAT, RAY WOULD TOTALLY THINK SO. LEAVE ME ALONE.
Also, this wouldn't have been possible without the cheerleading and magnificent beta-work ofshiningartifact and brimtoast. Seriously, it would all be nonsense and porn gibberish without them. <3<3<3
( ay, there's the rub )

fic: O Captain, My Captain (Temeraire)
Apr. 3rd, 2010 11:57 amTitle: O Captain, My Captain
Fandom: Temeraire
Pairing/Rating: Laurence/Temeraire, and NC-17, I reckon. YEP.
Summary: The prompt was "Transformation stuff - Laurence and Temeraire discover some sort of magic plot device artifact which allows them to change from human to dragon, or the other way around, or both. Sexytimes ensue, obviously." Totally ran with that last bit.
AN: Hearts and stars to my lovely betas and cheerleaders,brimtoast and fictionalfaerie and shiningartifact, who took it very well when I told them I was writing dragon porn. ...eerily well, even. *eyes them*
( "Laurence!" the man said, in tones of the greatest delight, and put his hands on Laurence's cheeks. )

Thank you to everyone for their loveliness in my last post--my aunt is doing better. Not great, but better. Anyway, your comments were like hugs when I needed them most, so seriously, thank you.
Also, okay, I have REALLY EXCITING NEWS. And somewhat less exciting news to follow. BUT FIRST:
OMG GUYS LOOK: EEEEE. Kara, my darling dearest, recorded my crazy Guided Tour to the October Country fic and it is fabulous and she captures the Frank and the Gerard voices so well. *flails all over town* Seriously, the whole thing is delicious and shivery and just like I imagined it. And she did a crazy fantastic job, especially since I liberally splashed the whole fic with random Egyptian words and shit. Poor Karalarabelle. <3
Also, ahaha, for those of you who didn't guess, I am de-anoning and owning up: I wrote the Laurence/human!Temeraire fic for the Temeraire Kink Meme. Oh, yes. OF COURSE I DID. Anyway, I am schlepping it up on AO3 and will post it here to LJ and to some of the Temeraire comms for completeness' sake in a moment. So, uh, sorry if you see dragon porn all over your flists for a bit.
Anyway, I still owe about ten thousand fics, and I am sorry! I promise I am working on them all. I am just terrible at brevity. And timeliness. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Expect evidence of this to appear in the next few days.
