Gosh, so, I guess I wrote 25 stories in 25 27 days ( Read more... )

So close to the end and yet this was such a struggle to start. I was saying to Margaret today that it's not so much that I'm feeling burnt out from writing--I'm feel pretty good about writing overall!--but that I'm just tired from the February from hell. Just today and tomorrow and I can take a break, though ( Read more... )

So this is "something from a song." I actually wrote a couple of these from songs already. I've been listening to Daughter a lot in the car this week and basically every Daughter song is obvs about the X-Men, so I figured this would end up being some crazy sad character piece, but then the Parks finale got this song stuck in my head for a couple ( Read more... )

Okay, I didn't really stick the landing on this one, but it's late and I'm tired, so I'm just wrapping it up. Another thing to fix in March. I've had the idea for this one for a while, because I love outside PoV, but I feel like it's a difficult line to walk without making the outsider look bad? idk. But I thought I'd go for it.

Erik shoves the last of his eggs and toast into his mouth and makes his way over to the low desk counter in the kitchen. On top is Erik's lunchbox, the book Charles ( Read more... )

This is def one of my favorites so far ♥

Ficlet February 19: "lost in a city""I know it's here somewhere," Erik mutters, squinting through the windshield ( Read more... )

This is another one I might retool a little once I have time to edit.

Ficlet February 18: "a day off""...and then you will see the full power of Magneto!" Erik bellows. He clenches his fist and laughs, deep and ominous, and then turns to glare down at the X-Men down below. They seem determined to foil him, standing poised to attack in a semi- ( Read more... )

From Carroll, of course. I feel like this has the potential to be pretty good once I get a chance to edit it and strengthen the last section, but it's 9:30 and I have to go to bed.
