A double drabble. This was inspired by a discussion a few weeks ago about how well Lady Alys might fit into the royal women's world of Nirvana in Fire, and I suddenly thought, yes, but while all the royal consorts and concubines are trying desperately to promote their son as the Imperial heir, Alys does the precise opposite: she uses all her ( Read more... )

I started this fic ages ago (though it's not by any means one of the oldest of my WIPs) when the book came out, and managed to finish it off today. Ivan and Simon get drunk and talk about porn. It's canon! I spent a long time struggling for a title for it and then noticed the title of one of the songs that I'd had on repeat, and that fit it ( Read more... )

Here is a completely pointless bit of fluff I found on my hard drive this morning and cheered me up after a 5.30am start. It's an outtake from my old Ivan/Duv fic Disciplinary Problems, the story of Ivan, Duv and the wet puppy. Because some days you just need cute puppies and fluffiness.

But last night I was wanting to write something different, and I was giving Cub a bath and he was doing an excellent pirate impression collecting all the toys in a big ( Read more... )

Live to Serve (500 words)
Five ImpSec agents and their oaths.

Tour Guide (4800 words ( Read more... )

*wipes sweat from brow* So you all really like tropefic, I see :-). Especially bodyswap, it seems. I have never previously written bodyswap fic; now I've done four. It's a fascinating trope, one that made me think a lot about where I draw the line between mind and body, and why. I don't think I'd ever particularly read any before, but I entirely ( Read more... )

Title: For Want of a Nail
Prompt: AU where Dr. Duv Galeni stayed a doctor of History instead of an ImpSec officer. For

Here are all the ficlets I wrote for the hobbit birthday party. Which was a lot of fun, even if I was slower writing than I'd have liked. You will see that I am bad at writing drabbles and occasionally went wildly over 100 words. Also, I now have two new AUs.
