My first fic of the decade, and it's the one where Simon fast-pentas Alys. This one involved a sudden panic this morning when I realised I'd messed up some of the canon details, but working out what really happens in canon has helped me figure out a bit more of what was going on, so that was helpful in the end.

So here it is:

I wrote Peelian Principles, a Nightingale-centric missing scene set during Lies Sleeping for @luthien. Luthien's requests were perfectly up my alley, wanting missing scenes and Nightingale's perspective on Peter. I started writing this not sure exactly where it was going, with just the first line with Seawoll as a key to the story. The conversation ( Read more... )

A silly ficlet from Tumblr again, this time sparked by a post about which, if any, of Ezar/Piotr and Dorca/Pierre le Sanguinaire would scatter their bed with rose petals...

( Ezar/Piotr, 600 words, fade-to-black )

I seem to be doing a lot of finishing things off at the moment, which is making me happy. I suspect that procrastination about Philomythulus's DLA form is the reason - it's amazing how much writing I can do when I have something to procrastinate on, and the DLA form is a thing of horror and nightmares and I can only cope with it in small doses ( Read more... )

I wrote another fic! One of my stranger ones: I feel like this story needs some explanation. I started it last year when I was writing Aral/Simon for Not Prime Time for @karanguni and found this prompt: Aral and Simon watch pornography together for SERIOUS security reasons. And I stared at that prompt and wondered, what security reasons could be ( Read more... )

I wrote a fic for Trick or Treat as a treat for the lovely @frith_in_thorns, since I can hardly be expected to resist a request for Simon Illyan, h/c and loyalty. I also threw in Cordelia being Betan at people, kid!Miles, and Count Piotr, just in case there was any worry about whether or not it would be obvious who wrote this :-D

Dear Yuletide Author,

( fandoms are Bonnie Dundee - Rosemary Sutcliff, Upstairs Downstair (1971), Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L Sayers )

So I have two fics inspired by posts on tumblr lately.

The first is inspired by a post someone made a while back saying that Illyan should have reported immediately to his second in command when he started to have things go wrong with his memory chip. And I thought, yeah, but his second in command is Haroche. So that's the story of this fic:

GuardianWhich I've already talked about a lot, but hey, how often do you find an amazingly tropey sf/crime drama that's this much fun and also has a delightful active fandom on DW? This is basically a long casefic-type slashfic that got filmed in its entirety and then had all the actual sex and kissing deleted but everything else kept in. ( Read more... )
