(Anyone else watch that rough Hallmark Christmas movie with Judd Nelson? I wouldn't have, except, I mean Judd Nelson, and it actually wasn't bad if you ignore most of the cast and writing. The point of mentioning it is the focus on:)

At the Toll Bridge (7409 words) - Fandom:
Once Upon a Time (2011)Summary: (Emma/Graham) Emma wants to belong, Graham wants to feel, Regina wants to win, and Mr. Gold wants... Well he has to want something, eh?
Author's Note: I was 5,000 words in and canon killed off Graham. *giggles* Aside from that little ruffle (I wasn't going to start over, so I veer a bit AU there) this was one of my smoothest and most enjoyable writing experiences ever. My giftee gave amazingly provocative prompts, and like always, when I figured out how to fold them together into a cohesive story, I wound up with something I'm pretty happy with, and never would have come up with on my own.
They'll Be Here When You're Done (3683 words) - Fandom:
Being EricaSummary: Three years after she becomes a Doctor, Dr. Arthur offers Erica the opportunity to help Dr. Tom. But in order to succeed, they both must take a leap of faith.
Author's Note: I troll Dear Yulegoat Letters, and have wanted to write a treat for
idea_of_sarcasm for a couple years. I know she would prefer Power Play, and in a way I would have preferred to write it (and it would have been hilarious if I had *g*) But with my continued trepidation writing for PP, and the Being Erica finale so fresh in mind, I was desperate to delve into the Erica/Tom dynamic, through a situation only they could be in. There's something else I wanted to say but I won't until I know if IoS's read it.
And this is what I wrote for

Out of One Cave, Still in Another (5071 words) - Fandom:
Sanctuary (TV)Summary: In which Declan and Magnus are stuck in a cavein, and find a way to occupy the time while they await rescue.
Author's Note: Smut. I really like the succinct description my giftee had for it: "hot, tender, playful, and angsty." Makes it almost sound like I knew what I was doing, eh? There's a poker game in there too. (Doesn't say "pok'er? but I just met her!" Doesn't, doesn't, doesn't.) XP
