So! Writing score:
All but two finished of my strictly D.GM 0tp for this week, one being Anita/Cloud Nine bondage porn that is coming along nicely and the other being Cloud Nine and Komui fighting crime which I've started and scrapped several times and I think could be hilarious if I could just get right. Then there's kinkfest, which I've got a good handle on--if I finish them all, maybe I'll snatch a few extra before it starts no haha I am not really a masochist I THINK--the third week of 0tp was finished one hour too late so I'll concentrate on wrapping up wk 2for the makeover days when I finish this week's crossover batch.
Also I have this wierd thing about a Baccano!/D.Grayman semi-medieval AU percolating inside my head. Luck is a spymaster that carries around falcons a lot and is inscrutable, Claire is a changeling, General Cross is probably a highwayman no wait too lazy Rinali and Tykki Mick and Allen are probably going to be in a modified version of the travelling circus
laylah bunnied me with (Rabi and Bookman as well?) while Chane is a spy from another country coming to rescue her father and Eve is a princess who is really supposed to be coming on over to marry a prince and stop a war but has hightailed it to search for her brother in a highly resourceful fashion.
Rhode Kamelot is a little witch-child of the same race that changeling'd
shut up my verbing is infallible SEE Claire and she's orchestrating everything behind the scenes with Tykki Mick and Sherill. Anita is a famous courtesan to whom all secrets come, Mahoja her faithful bodyguard of course, Leverrier the General sent to escort Eve Genoard and now in charge of coralling her and hauling her to the castle. He has a Past with Rinali and is a militant religious man who is the enemy of the witch creatures.
Ladd Russo is the mad Duke who rides about the countryside killing things or something. Or he's the prince Eve is engaged to, or he's the half-witchling son who brazenly rode into Underside and kidnapped their fair princess, that lady being Lua. I don't know. Something cool.
Maiza is the king. Hell if I know....Sylvie is the Queen? She was married to his brother but when Szilard, a sinister magician who escaped to the enemy kingdom (Eve's) murdered the king she accepted a pretty much platonic marriage in order to keep her safe. Or something. GOD THEY WOULD BE DEPRESSING RULERS, THEY MAKE ME JUST WANT TO CUDDLE THEM. Or sic Firo on them. That's it, he's gotta be the prince!
I think Szilard is travelling with Eve inadvertently on a coach with Ennis, Firo and Maiza and Rabi and the Bookman and, I think, Cloud Nine (Firo and Ennis met on the dock where he came to meet his fiance) and HIJINKS ENSUE and Eve is little and practical and holds them all together and sensibly adopts them all except for Szilard. And at some point they're held up by Jacuzzi's gang.
Mostly I am stuck on Maiza's court thought. Luck and Anita politically manuevering and having dinners in boidoirs and charged conversation with about five bajillion meanings to every syllable! I think she goes to visit Huey and has tea. And more conversation. And I secretly want to write about Chane coming into the city and seeking Anita's aid, and ladyporn between them, I have no idea why. A lovely and sumptuous one-midnight-stand.
And Claire in a cape, YOU KNOW HE WOULD.
