So the popoffacork reveal has taken place, and I now know that I have imogenics to thank for the amazingly awesome Radiant. If you haven't yet, I encourage you all to head on over there and read it, because it'll make your heart flush and your spine shiver.

I wrote In Jerusalem Engines for jae_w, and I want to say many heartfelt thanks once more to thissugarcane, uhmidont, and wearemany for marvelous input, encouragement, and moral support along the way. And thank you also to everyone else who was either kind or stern in my hour of wibbling. :) The title is from 2 Chronicles 26, and okay, yes, I always have a tough time thinking of titles so I did just get out my concordance and look up "engine". But that chapter turned out to be about a guy who's really good at what he does but gets kicked out of the inner sanctum for breaking some rules, so then I was all heyyy! and I had to have it.

I wasn't sure how guessable this story would be. On the one hand, Jon/Tom was a totally new pairing for me to write, and this was a full-blown AU which is relatively rare for me to write. On the other hand, as wearemany said of herself, I wasn't trying not to write like myself. So I kind of slunk through the masquerade. I admit that I wasn't able to guess who had written for me. Imogen was on my list of potential candidates, but there were enough participants whom I don't know that I couldn't feel sure it wasn't one of them. But I love the way you fool me, dahling!

thanks, recs, fic, bandom, writing
