Happy Galentine's Day

Feb 13, 2011 11:06

Not so relevant to this post, except that it's a story about a woman who is awesome: against my better judgment I got antsy and posted fic on a Saturday evening, even though we all know that's a bad time to do these things if you want anyone to see it. So in case you're interested and missed it, A Fairer House than Prose (or on DW) is my long- ( Read more... )

fic, women are awesome, galentine's day

Because I've got Alias on the brain, have Sydney and Irina during the missing years ( ... )

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. :D

We'll call this a very rough pre-first draft snippet for the other Alias fic I intend to write, based on the premise that Irina and Sydney hung out some during that second year (and possibly going AU with the idea that Sydney didn't wipe her memories, but I'm not sure). But, um, I should probably watch season 3 first...

For you, Caprica Six before the miniseries ( ... )

Ouch, I love this. Warm and cold at once. You painted such a vivid picture of the places she (undoubtedly) visited and her attachment to them, how she savors these moments knowing the end is coming.

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it!

Me please! :D

I'm not sure I'm quite happy with this (there was supposed to be stuff about best friends who love each other lots but are not sleeping together, but it never quite came out right), but, well, have Jane and Maura on Valentine's Day ( ... )

gabolange February 14 2011, 23:17:40 UTC

AWWWWWWWWWWW. *hugs them both* *hugs you more*

Just. Awwww. Jane and Maura, being so very them. With chocolates! Yay! I love it!

See you soooooooon! Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!

Did I not actually reply to this? Sorry! I meant to say that I'm completely delighted that you like it!!! *squishes you*

um, this is actually the hand-kissing ficlet? not sure what happened there... pellucid February 14 2011, 02:35:04 UTC

Eddis spent part of each morning watching her mountain. Each night it dissolved into flame, so every morning she reminded herself it was still there-for now. When the weather permitted, she spent her morning time with the mountain walking in the garden, and it was there that the magus found her with his news ( ... )

Re: um, this is actually the hand-kissing ficlet? not sure what happened there... gabolange February 14 2011, 02:53:30 UTC

I was just wandering by to see if you'd added anything in the last few hours, and here this is, just . . . *flappy hands*

Eddis! And the magus! Who have responsibilities and political lives bigger than themselves, who barely dare to imagine a world where their own desires are possible. Who love each other, in their own ways.

But mostly, though, Eddis! Eddis, who understands so well what it means to be queen, who hopes for someone she can like and respect, who will put herself through almost anything to save her people. I adore Eddis, the thoughtful queen, and this is just a lovely snapshot of her.

Sorry if I'm rambling incoherently. I just adore this.

Aw, yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I tried several different times to write this a few weeks ago, and it just didn't happen, and then suddenly tonight there it was--even though it's not really what I thought I'd write for Chaila's prompt.

And oh, Eddis!!! I do love her tremendously!

Oooooh, you're awesome for doing this. How about Babylon 5. Anything you want, but if you want a prompt, how about Susan and Londo, drinking at the bar, in the hour of the wolf.

pellucid February 16 2011, 01:18:52 UTC

So apparently I don't write Londo (or at least not without rewatching that I don't have time for). And apparently when I try to write about Susan and Delenn ruling the galaxy, it turns into schmoopy fluff? I...yeah. Enjoy ( ... )

I simply do not have words for how much I love this. I love that they have a partnership that is work and friendship and history and affection, that they have routines that work, that they are not in love with each other even a bit, but that they love each other dearly. I like this ending for them.

pellucid February 16 2011, 03:06:33 UTC

Oh yay! I was obviously afraid it was way too fluffy and sentimental, but if it works for you (and if Becka doesn't hate it), that's all I need!
