Heya. riyku here! A rousing thank you to everyone for having me, and to the talented and generous lazy_daze for the invitation.
Here goes: Fannishly, I started out on the fringes of whendonverse, read a little and wrote a little, most of which is thankfully lost to the dark and dusty corners of the internet. Trust me. You don’t wanna see it. About the time Angel was ending, the WB started showing promos for a show called Supernatural, featuring two brothers who fight evil and ride around in the sexiest car television has ever seen. I watched it the night it premiered and I haven’t looked back since. Those boys and the guys that play them are pretty much it for me. As for the fandom, well. You guys are pretty much it for me too.
So I began writing again. And posting what I’d written. J2 non-AU to start, AU a while later, with a little Sam/Dean thrown in for good measure. Master post is here (side note: as I was updating this thing, I realized that last year I wrote more words for fandom than I did for my dissertation. Clearly my priorities are in order).
J2 non-AU:
Because I have a thing for future!fic, two variations on a theme: Come Pick Me Up and waiting on some beautiful boy.
J2 AU:
A Handful of Rain. Jared runs a halfway house and tries with all his heart to help Jensen. This isn’t an easy one to read, but it might just be my favorite.
Better than Moonshine. Also known as me making terrible fun of myself for 34,000 words.
In which I try desperately to write kink solely for kink’s sake, and can’t quite pull it off: Feeling is First (blindfold kink and a smattering of D/s) and I’m Slowly Turning into You (knotting, underage).
A couple of high school AU’s: Crush and Yesterdays.
And for something completely unlike anything else I’ve ever written: Feral.
Sam/Dean:
Blow Me, Sam. The title. Goodness. The title.
Beyond the Reach of Mercy. My take on the last few hours before the world ends.
Sacrament. Priest!AU set in a dystopian future, and my longest Sam/Dean fic to date. I loved writing this.
This is the part where I open the floor for questions. Hit me, folks. Be vague. Be specific (if you want to know the color of Jensen’s socks in the final scene of Bizarre Love Triangle, by god, I can tell you). I’m all yours.
