well behaved women rarely make history

I would like to recommend this fic for ever and ever; I have read it many times over many years and each time I love it more than the last.

Lord I'm Sorry: (Ishida/Orihime, but mostly Orihime's wonderful flavor of crazy) “Today,” Orihime announced during breakfast, beaming over her whipped-cream-bacon-sandwich, “we’re going to discuss how Mommy and Daddy fell in love and made a baby.”

Well, this round of kink_bingo is completed. I only managed three bingos before the deadline, the result being a relatively paltry fifteen pieces of fanfiction. But I'm actually quite proud of a decent amount of them, so I think it's helped me get back in the groove, one way or another.

Porn battle is on once more! Prompts, anyone?

Excerpt of vampire fiction written to amuse myself that is, in its entirety, mostly porn (but this bit's harmless):

“Was that a joke?” The vampire prince said, his voice cool.

They were clustered on a balcony, stained-glass doors separating them from the main party, the sky above dark and smooth and studded with flickering stars. His skin was alabaster pale and smooth, and his hair was soft and dark and curled over his brow. His eyes were large and a clear light brown that looked coppery under the right light; his mouth sensual, his cheekbones sculpted, a line between dark, winged brows.

“A joke?” She said dubiously.

“If so,” he said, “it wasn’t very amusing.”

“What would I be joking about?” She asked, debating briefly whether sarcasm actually counted as humour.

Marcus Andreas Argent, vampire prince, heir to the entire bloodthirsty clan that ruled half the continent, most coldly beautiful young man she had ever encountered, said proudly, “I’m going to grow up and be a dentist.” And Lyla knew right then on the spot that she was madly in love.

I really want to write a True Blood story that takes a step back from the fact that the creators really are in love with all the reprehensible male characters and Sookie only remains prominent because of what scant scraps of quality the Charlaine Harris books are still sneaking in. Sookie was the heroine--and she was an awesome one. Now every victory she has involves one or more of her hideously behaved suitors.

So I want to write a story where she's off on her own, rescuing herself, as book!Sookie was allowed and so prone to doing. Not through stupid plot point powers or vampire strength, but by the qualities that she got by on so well in the books: pragmatism. Cleverness. Ability to think on her feet. Just plain toughness, when it came down to it.

The Girl who Wore Blue Eyes

Once there was a girl.

She was a small girl, and a tidy one, and she kept her shoes shined and her skirts ironed and her little bag full of glass jars. She had shining dark hair and small neat hands, and she did not smile often. She was a very grave little girl, and she thought highly of her dignity.

And she collected eyes.

She collected them as other girls collected flowers and purses and kisses, all in her little glass jars, one by the other. No one was sure how, as she did not pluck them from skulls and steal them from beasts, but no one could deny that they stared curiously from the little jars, taking in the world with a gravity that sometimes seemed ill fitting to a small and bright faced girl, but sat very well on this dignified medley of gazes.

She collected round protruding frog eyes, and goat's eyes with their blocky pupils, and a serpent's dark veiled stare. She collected those of fish, never-flinching, and carefully misted them with water each morning. She found the many faceted glance of flies, and stored away the inquisitive gaze of a vulture. She was positively fond of them, and very devoted to her task.

This was, of course, because she had none at all of her own.

OMG she is so pretty.

Alice Greczyn, playing Helena Maddox in the theater of my head. I've been struggling to buckle down to my of_ficathon request, which boils down to 'no slash, werewolf involved love triangle.' I wrote the first part a while ago, and then left it to gather dust, but the realization that I have to finish it up before I let myself work on the 'stuffed animals vs vampire' story has put the spurs to me.

ETA: I've got a title! artillie: Bite at the Moon

First draft presents this: werewolf girl with robin for pet, who lives sometimes at her wolf Uncle's home and sometimes with a pair of human parents. She's decided that she needs to attend high school, laboring under the mistaken assumption that high school is a worthy learning environment and also that her Uncle will hesitate to bend laws for her comfort. No, she's going to go down there, absorb useful book smarts, and most of all not eat anyone.

She's grown out of chewing on anything that looks interesting. Mostly.

( snippet from chapter one... )

The vampire crouched on the edge of the railing, gaunt gray face sharply delineated by shadow, the expression in those glassy black eyes lapsing from that eerie focus to uneasiness. "You are not afraid of me?"

"No," Isabella said, biting off her thread and tying it into a messy knot. "Does that hurt your feelings? I am very sorry." He stared at her. She tried again. "I'm sure if I couldn't kill you I would be very very afraid." The stuffed rabbit gave her a deeply reproachful stare for her substandard sewing skills and lack of manners; she kissed it on the nose. "Would you like a grilled cheese sandwich?"

This series would be all about...the adventures of an actually creepy, back-to-origins vampire and a girl who can bring these stuffed animals to life to DO HER BIDDING and she is named Isabella because Bella is actually a really pretty name--I like it alot--and I want to reclaim it from the land of FAIL. And she carries this, like, ridiculous stuffed unicorn with shiny stuffed wings, all white and fluffy and fake looking, and when she brings it to life it GROWS and gets RED EYES and FANGS and likes to TRAMPLE VAMPIRES. And the vampire is so confused by how cheerfully SCARY this human girl is that he, like, starts following her everywhere.

And this is my version of the vampire romance.

(Yay!)

I....I really want to involve this woman in a story.

She'd be the immortal incarnation of a city, dirty and industrial and queerly refined, that swims with pale light when the sun slips down over the horizon; a city of quiet elegance and weary humour. A neutral city, the air often cool. Both shameless and distant.

Kyo/Yuya

"He'll come for me," she said; the sun will rise, the moon will shine, the wind will blow, he's coming.

Haru/Rin

Somewhere between bliss and agony is the fire in her eyes when she told him never to give up, never to leave her; she’d spoken to him and the words falling from her lips, of love and fear, had named him pilgrim and sinner, for he would travel a thousand miles and bury the rest of the world to hear them just once all over again.

Haru/Rin

These are her truths; Isuzu is a tide pulled relentlessly by the moon, cast aside by His glow but still endlessly manipulated by the push and pull of her God’s moods. Isuzu has fallen in love; with Hatsuharu, the impossibility of perfection and her need, and with Tohru Honda and her limitless, compassionate love-one more union their god will condemn without forgiveness, in His fury.

These are her lies; Isuzu doesn’t love Haru, Isuzu is tired of Haru, Isuzu hates Tohru Honda, Isuzu loves her God like a good girl.

This is her tragedy; no one will ever know.

"Give me your heart," she invites, "and I shall deliver unto you the world."

In retrospect, Sena should have presented a more select version of his '21' confession. He should not, most likely, have admitted Hiruma's involvement in any way. He should not have been, in any way, been complicit in Hiruma's very probable homicide.

3 foolish wishes Sarah almost made:

One (1) request for the Goblin King to come back.

One (1) request for her college roommate to fall, Titania-style, in love with a goblin.

One (1) request for the Goblin King to go away.

Though being eighteen has had about as much impact on me as I suspected it would--that being not much--I must confess it's a nice feeling to scroll down, see in a community's info, 'must be legal' and think I AM!

I'm beginning to think I spend too much time on the internet if that's the only change I really think of or notice. Well, the bus fare went up. A whole frickin' dollar. **sulks**

I was poking around prompt tables and thinking taking one up for Doris/D, because as we all know my solution for heartache is fanfic, and I saw the 30_dates community and was so insanely tempted. I mean, seriously--you can't tell me I wouldn't be able to come up with the most insane dates ever. Two monster hunters in a post apocalyptic world? I WANNA.

I understand that one offers to revisit posted fic and do 100 words on what's happening now, either before or after the fic.

Well, Mutant Chronicles was a rather beautifully made--filmed, etc--and totally bleak movie, where almost everybody dies. I'm not a fan of these kinds of movies, as those who are familiar with me probably know. Still, I liked Severian, whom Anna Walton played, though she didn't get much screentime. This has, obviously, never stopped my imagination from going wild.

On another unimpressed note: they name Devon Aoki's character Valerie Chinois Duval. Translates as Valerie "Chinese" Duval. First of all, Devon Aoki is part Japanese. Second of all, you all deserve a hard kick in the nuts. (Although I will admit I love saying the word chinois properly pronounced. It sounds so lovely! I don't know. I'm weird.)

Stolen from wolfalice -
Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want). No context/explanations.

• He unlaces her bodice while thunder rolls outside; she flinches a little, watches the roof, remembers stormclouds from a closer perspective.


• The sword rang free of its sheath, gray light glancing off the blade, and his mouth was a hard line of triumphant rage as he snarled, "you can hardly deny the need for her death now."


• "I'm drunk," she says, because it seems the appropriate thing to say--knocks the gin bottle over with one knee when she leans over to kiss him sloppy and deep and half-naked.


• Her calm was preternatural and manufactured, eyes deep wells, her mouth bleached bare, and the graceful stillness of one small white hand held the taut promise of violence.


• I know she left me there in the morning--pale gray rain-washed dawn--and I know she did not love me, and I know nothing else about my mother.


• The bomb went off with a sound that deafened the world, and his hand flung out to catch her--snagged her wrist as her body jerked like a ragdoll and nearly dislocated her arm--and he would not let go even as they smashed down to the ground and her mouth filled with sand.


• "Shh," she says, touches his mouth, his throat where bare pulse beats, meets the wondering darkness of his eyes--"just this once, it's enough."


• There will never be room in my heart for mercy.


• She remembers her brothers and sisters by the way they spoke to her with their hands.


• The wolf lives in her and will not abate.
