This was the second year in a row where I matched on two fandoms with my recipient - does anyone know if that's a new feature of the matching process, or did I just get lucky twice? My recipient wrote wonderful prompts, and I had Grand Plans to write two legit stories for Yuletide this year. GRAND PLANS! One was going to be for The Heat, and it was ( Read more... )

Title: Define Forever
Fandom: Ben and Kate
Pairing: Tommy/Kate
Rating: PG
Summary: Tommy works on accepting the fact that he's just going to love Kate forever, and she's never going to love him back, and maybe that's tragic and awful and a total rejection of the optimistic everything-works-out-the-way-it-should-be, love-conquers-all worldview he's ( Read more... )

Fandom: Bolt
Rating: PG

( Rhino finds out first, of course. )

I've done Yuletide a few years now and I have two rules for myself: I only offer sources I straight-up love and I never offer fandoms I've written in before.

Spoilers: Takes place after the second season finale.
Length: 10,200 words
Notes: Thanks to lavender_basil for the awesome beta!

(  'Ann, what's up?' Andy says, and it's not what he says but how he says it. The tone of his voice, the set of his shoulders - all of it radiates the same disappointed wariness Ann felt every time he showed up unexpectedly after their breakup. )

Greetings LiveJournal! I've been even worse about posting in this journal than I usually am, but one of the surest things to get me out of hiding is the post-bits-from-wips meme, which I've noticed floating around LJ lately. I'm a big fan of it, mostly because I'm so terrible at finishing stories and this gives me a reason to post bits of them ( Read more... )

Title: Fundamentals of Chemistry
Fandom/Pairing: Community, Troy/Annie
Rating: PG
Summary: "What's up with Annie lately?" Troy asks. It's been on his mind for a few days now, this something-different-about-Annie, and it seems worth the risk of asking the group as a whole.
Length: 6,000 words.

Length: 15,000 words.
