NFM: a day late and a love letter short
In my defense, I am so exhausted I may fall over dead. Here's an update for you:
Firstly, I got two (OMG TWO) of the most amazing gifts for Night on Fic Mountain (seriously everyone go over there if you haven't trolled the archives for delicious things):
judy is a punk Royal Tenenbaums; Margot(/Richie) | 4350
Everywhere Margot sees her own name, the word "genius" follows. Margot has a sizeable IQ, an impressive vocabulary, and is versed in three languages but the word genius will be infinitely puzzling.
Probably one of the most delightful character studies I have ever read. My author is a perfect human being who managed to create the most wonderful piece about Margot and her relationship with her family, while weaving in enough of a genuine amount of shippiness that felt in-canon and so very, very true. Just a delightful piece that I will carry with me for a very long time.
Intensity and Steadiness Anne of Green Gables; Anne and Diana | 3049
Real friendship isn't only about the intensity of wanting to see each other every day, wanting to tell that person everything; it's also about the times when even if you don't see each other every day, talk to each other every day, even years, when you find time to see each other everything falls back together and it's like you were never really apart.
Just omg I can't with how precious this piece is. Anne and Diana and love and friendship. Just perfect. Absolutely lovely. Everyone should go read it.
I was so blessed by this exchange.
And mine:
rumor has it Anne of Green Gables; Anne/Gilbert | 4042
Modern Setting/ High School Anne Shirley's life filtered through the rumors you may or may not have heard about her
Exactly what it says it is. And I'm quite proud of it, honestly.
Also I won Mod's Choice icon in slayerstillness' Challenge 26 with this icon:
[icons below cut .... dawn&buffy obvs]
And here are the alternates (not all of these were submitted, but I don't really feel like doing the whole post where I tell you which I gave to the challenge and which are alternates or whatever.... so here's just a big pile of icons yay) .... (with some limited commentary)
The point of this challenge was to produce five icons from the same image.
Can we coo about this moment for just a hot minute? Look at our babies being so happy and alive and hugging each other! For as tactile they both seem to be, the physical interactions between the Summers sisters are always so restrained and deliberate. They are so careful with each other and you can see that in Dawn's arm - in the way Buffy's hair blocks her face from our view. Just one of the happiest moments of the series!
Dawn should be worshipped amen. I think I really screwed myself by not working on this set a bit longer and submitting this. I love how just... delightfully on the edge she looks in this moment. Right on the cusp of something. "Potential" is such a good episode for Michelle in general.
CAN WE JUST UGH OVER THIS MOMENT. Gorgeous, gorgeous girl. The screencap just didn't give me much to play with and I abandoned it early because it is too dark. The second one - the way the light catches her face - is perfect and exactly why I love the cap so much. But there isn't much I felt I could do with it.
Probably in my top five moments of the series in total. Dawn walking away from Buffy without saying goodbye and looking so determined, her hair swaying and her stride long and sure. And when Buffy turns, she's smiling with so much pride and love. It's just the most delightful moment of all moments. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. Like with a lot of BtVS, the moment is just a wee bit too dark to get the vibrancy of the emotional moment to come through. No matter, I love having these on hand. It's an important moment to me and I will never not love it.
Also I've been writing porn (apparently)::
