And I really do mean that. Because, ugh. My last final, I completely blanked out on one of the comparisons and I think my final choice of the identity of the cameo was very, very wrong. And my short essays had good begnnings, sucktastic endings.
I'm working tomorow, thank goodness. I've been off for the past two weeks and I was getting worried that I wouldn't have enough money for my last car insurance payment next month.
My dental surgery to get three wisdom teeth extracted was changed to Jan. 2nd. I'm not looking foward to it, and I know I'll be bitching about the paaaaaaain, but I have to get it done as soon as possible.
But who cares about all that nonsense? Let's talk about stories. *g*
Absence of Solace, my Buffy/Wesley is completed and I've edited it. I'll do a final read-through and hopefully if I have enough time this weekend to look over Betrayer, I can update that story to the BFA and then post AoS.
Go South in the Winter is being written in pieces, which is something I never do. I'm currently working on a scene set in Germany with a fortune-teller, who's also a drag queen (an out and proud bisexual drag queen), and has the mutant power of empathy. Oh yeah, I've lost my mind. And the last real scene I worked out had Rogue taunting Wolverine. *g*
Still Untitlted Ryan/Seth wherein Must Smut and Talking Occurs is being worked on, as per request of
torchthisnow. Because she'll hurt me if I don't write it.
redefining the universe, written in future tense, in John's POV, which was supposed to be a sequel to mending horizons, but is being altered to be more stand-alone.
Also (somewhere, Molly's hissing out a very angry "NOOOOOOO!!!!"), I'm working on my O.C. Challenge Fic. The pairing? Ryan/Kirsten. Heeeee. It's so wrong. I'm trying to make it a bit less, er, unusual, by setting a few years later, but it'll be a bit somber and sad.
Before I go, a little snippet of a convo yesterday which let to a quick written-in-less-than-five-minutes-fic, or, here's why
torchthisnow is the boss of me:
[note: I was talking about my decision of which O.C. pairing to write]
Regala Electra: so I thought the Ryan/Kirsten would be easier
Regala Electra: because I'm on drugs
Regala Electra: but I'm also v. excited what with new O.C.
XvChloeSullivan: me too!
Regala Electra: and Ryan doesn't say he loves Marissa! Cuz he doesn't! And then, in a surprise ending, runs off with Seth! OMGthereloveissopurre!
Regala Electra: ah! Some shippah' exploded out there
Regala Electra: sorry
XvChloeSullivan: You should write me happy Ryan/Seth porn. Right now.
Regala Electra: hee
XvChloeSullivan: now. seriously. right now.
Regala Electra: oh what the hell
XvChloeSullivan: Yes. Do it. PORN
Graduation
"Seriously, this is like the best day ever." Seth's face is like up like a Chrismakkah exhibit and Ryan can't help but smile.
"You do realize you said the same thing last night when those girls started making out at the party?"
"Yeah, but dude! I'm now one of the few, the proud, the starving: A College Grad! Now I'll be able to ignore my students loans-"
"You got a full scholarship," Ryan interupts.
"Shh...I'm in bubble world. Do not break the bubble." Seth's eyes close, and he begins rambling, in his way that he's never grown out of, "I'll live in terrible apartment and I'll get a crappy job and I'll realize that I should stop buying comics and video games, but I'd rather starve that not get the next issue of Sandman and..."
Ryan, who's waited far too long for this, places his hands on each side of Seth's face, takes a breath, and kisses him as fully as he can, not stopping until he has to take another breath. Seth's mouth opens under his and his eyes are still closed when they break away.
"Uh...dude?" Seth asks, opening his eyes in that half-sleepy way that Ryan's never said outloud that he's found so sexy. "Did you just? Did we just?"
Ryan smiles, throwing an arm around Seth's shoulders, "Happy graduation, Seth."
the end.
