I like it when life doesn't suck.
Stuck on a bus, in traffic. But bus has internet! And at the end of the bus ride is New York. These are good things.
And to entertain you, a fun meme I stole from daegaer:
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
1) America (Axis Powers Hetalia)
2) Fakir (Princess Tutu)
3) Capt. William Laurence (Temeraire)
4) Jim Kirk (Star Trek XI)
5) Ahiru (Princess Tutu)
6) Lithuania (Axis Powers Hetalia)
7) Poland (Axis Powers Hetalia)
8) Gwen (Merlin)
9) Josiah Turner (Sweet Rabbit)
10) Merlin (Merlin)
First time, 4 and 6 (Jim and Lithuania)
Jim grinds his thigh up, grips Lithuania's biceps. "This what a whole Nation feels like?"
Angst, 7 (Poland)
Austria mounts a new map on the wall. Poland can't find his house on it.
AU, 1 and 8 (America and Gwen)
The Liberty's photon torpedoes nail the last Romulan Bird-of-Prey, and America and Gwen whoop.
Threesome, 3, 6, and 9 (Laurence, Lithuania, Josiah)
And Laurence, in several senses of the phrase, finds himself rather at sea.
Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10 (Ahiru and Merlin)
"Dance with me," she says, her fingers cradling his.
Crack, 1 (America)
"You know what we should do next? The International Awesome Ninja Weekend."
Horror, 10 (Merlin)
Arthur stares at him, eyes white and wide; his smile's too slack to be called one.
Baby!fic, 5 and 9 (Ahiru and Josiah)
"Don't look at me, I haven't the faintest idea what to do with it."
Dark, 2 and 8 (Fakir and Gwen)
"I've read it. You destroy him, and Camelot falls."
"I'd never--"
"Then change it."
Romance, 4 and 7 (Jim and Poland)
"So, buy me a drink?"
Well, Jim's never been able to resist a good pair of legs.
Deathfic, 2 and 3 (Fakir and Laurence)
"I'm not going to cheat like he did." Fakir settles back down. "All stories end."
In other news: feeling less panicked about the future after I had a long talk with one of my professors about grad school and my goals, still enjoying the heck out of Merlin, have determined to wade through the huge backlog of fic that Mith and I have yet to edit and get at least some of it onto the Internet because I had fun working on those stories, and have also been looking back at my own fic and discovering that hey, some of the old stuff doesn't suck! I think I'll write up a mini-recpost later to pimp out older works that people who started reading me for Hetalia might not be familiar with, because I do think some of them are worth sharing.
...also, I think I kind of have to write the Slash Dragon trying his hand at writing Merlin/Arthur, because he has to find the correct runic euphemisms for buttsex and IT'S FUNNY, OKAY.
