shallowness

I have managed to repost more fic here and at AO3 over recent days, and to update the text on LJ and ff.net where necessary.

What agents do Jake 2.0, G. 228 words. Jake Foley. Vague spoilers for ‘The Ultimate Human Upgrade’. Summary: Jake's clearance was low, now it's high, really high. (June 2006)

How to hurt Mr Invulnerable Sky High, G. Will Stronghold, (Layla Williams/Warren Peace). Post-movie double drabble. Summary: Mr Invulnerable? Will Stronghold’s not that guy. (June 2006)

A flyer expects Sky High, PG-13. Josie Stronghold (Josie Stronghold/Steve Stronghold). Pre-movie, 1,576 words. Summary: She literally floated through her pregnancy. (July 2016.)

Parallax Firefly/Harry Potter, PG. Jayne, Luna, River. Spoilers up to 'Objects in Space' and for HBP. 432 words. Summary: Simply put, it is the apparent shift of an object against a background due to a change in observer position. [Wikipedia] (September 2006)

( About that )

First recs post of the year. Fic recs in the following fandoms: 1066 And All That, The Avengers (TV), Firefly/Serenity, Inception and Mansfield Park/Piratesof the Caribbean.

This is not news if you read my Dreamwidth account as opposed to my LiveJournal one, but I managed to repost four fics last week, by which I mean posting the text to the original posts at lj and posting them for the first time at Dreamwidth and AO3 (and updating the versions on ff.net). All four are from November/December 2005, two are Dark Angel fics and two are post-Serenity ficlets.

And you will know me by the trail of my asskicking (Dark Angel) R (for language and mature themes). Max/Alec. 2,385 words. First posted: November 2005 (lightly edited August 2016)
Summary: Alec is still haunted by Max. Bitch.

can't wash out the blue (Firefly) PG, OCs, River Tam. Drabble. First posted: November 2005.
Summary: a threat.

Untitled Mal/Kaylee kisslet (Firefly) PG, Mal Reynolds/Kaylee Fry, 227 words. First posted: November 2005. Summary: As per title.

Retrieval (Dark Angel) PG-13. Max/Alec, past Jondy/Alec, 3,103 words. First posted: December 2005.
Summary: Max didn't think; Alec is trying to protect himself. (Author's Notes: 'She Ain't Heavy' ended slightly differently. AU from that point on.)

And then I wrote a new ficlet.

What your mama can make you (Nashville) U. Juliette Barnes, Cadence Barkley, Avery Barkley, (background Juliette/Avery). 237 words.
Summary: Juliette writes a song for Cadence.

I saw the prompt at comment_fic, wrote a draft, but because I hadn’t seen season 4, I felt I should do some research to avoid it being canon-fodder, which I was able to do on Sunday - I hope it's all right on that front. I blame the prompt for making me thinkof the show.

I've also been working a little on some of my WIPs. Before returning to reposting, I hope to get around to posting about other stuff.

can't wash out the blue, Firefly, PG, OCs, River Tam. Drabble. First posted: November 2005.
Summary: a threat

purple_cube asked for my fannish timeline over the past ten years - which fandom I most associate with each year etc.

Picking one fandom for some years was really hard, because it turns out I’ve always been multifannish, which the nature of livejournal encouraged. But here goes!

I have been making an effort to watch as much of this week's It Takes Two episodes as possible, seeing as its the last week. A good point that came up was that all the pros have been in the final before, but haven't won, adding a little edge to it. Denise van Outen popped up in my dream last night and I felt obliged to be very nice and polite, saying that I'd found their rumba touching, all the while hoping that she wasn't telepathic because I was thinking 'but I'm never going to vote for you and I don't think you'll win.'

Two insta!recs

Firefly

Fair in Love and War: 2ndary_author
Wash/Zoe, set during 'War Stories'
Gorgeous fic with great character voices. It left me wanting more, even though the story had come to its natural end.

Nancy Drew

100 situations 41/100: ndnickerson AU Nancy/Ned for adult language and references

In which an all-grown up Nancy takes her boyfriend Ned home to meet Hannah and her father for the first time.

He hadn’t missed that she was wearing the necklace he had given her, showing above the first button of her printed shirtdress, and during the entire drive to River Heights, he asked her about cases he only vaguely remembered her solving. By the time they crossed the city limits, he was shocked that she had made it past her eighteenth birthday. Thrown down a well to drown, poisoned, drugged, tied up against an ocean pier, concussed countless times and always making it out by the skin of her teeth.

I don't know whether I'll have internet access again before Christmas (how will I survive? Books.) So, Merry Christmas!
