Life:

Last week was kind of a lot. Much adulting between getting new tires on my car and picking insurance, and working... a lot.

I still need to send in my registration for the car, clean the house a bit, and get my shit together before I head off to visit the fam for Christmas. However, I do have my shopping mostly done, apart from some extra chocolate for the kiddies, and a gift card for my sister's birthday (which I will get when I get there bc the place is local).

I always miss my family, but going home still makes me anxious.

I might try to get to the mall tomorrow. I need a few shirts and a coat, if I can find one.

Fandom:

These days, I'm bouncing around in Venture Bros fandom, which is small but spirited. I'm in too deep. I'm ficcing a longish AU that I'm enjoying but um... I don't know why I felt so compelled to write so much about this, other than to bring out all these loose threads and put onscreen the narrative of characters who were mostly relegated to OFF this season.

Created a Discord, too: https://discord.gg/jUwFTP6

I'm also into Legacies (kinda) and Charmed (LOTS), She-Ra (OMG), and watching The Haunting of Hill House over and over. I just started Killing Eve... Honestly, anything with Sandra Oh. I'll be pounding Black Lightning as soon as I can find the eps I missed at the beginning of the season.

I kind of need to be working on my Secret Santa fic. Why is it so hard to write when I need to be doing it?

Current Mood: hungry

The new Charmed is killing me. So many secrets, so many cliffhangers. Mel might have two love interests in the long run, Niko and the Sarcana chick. Maggie is dating a half-demon.

What was their mother's role in the Sarcana? What do the demon bros want? Can we trust the Council? AHHHH

I'm so glad they got picked up for the rest of the season.

Current Mood: curious

Jeezus, Tumblr done snapped the Venture Bros tag. :(

Current Mood: leave us alone

Tits* out if you're Anti-Nazi.

*Tits can be substituted with birds, pictures of the desert, rumpled beige bedspreads, open books, marbles, or anything vaguely peachy colored.

Current Mood: annoyed

I started up a new community, for anyone interested in congealing the dispersed fandom

I stfg I don't know how I'm going to survive another summer in this hellscape of a state. It's like 80 degrees at night with 86% humidity. Spare me.

Current Mood: hot

I've ordered the rest of the ASOUE books from Thriftbooks.

I was trying to decide if I wanted the new covers, but I cannot wait until June to read them.

Addiction. Maybe I'll give the shiny new cover versions to my nieces and nephews.

Current Mood: embarrassed

Amazon makes huge quarterly profits; hikes Amazon Prime membership anyway.

Yeah, fuck you, too, buddy.

Current Mood: annoyed

Happy Birthday to me!

I'm doing laundry!

What a day for some laundry!

I'm not the type to party.

Current Mood: awake

There's an upcoming class with the Maryland Romance Writers association:

Beyond 50 Shades: Going From Fanfiction To Original Fiction

This one isn't my class, but I've written with the author, and she has years of experience as a plot doctor. The class will start out talking about legal stuff and move into a workshop.

Please give it a look or share with people you think might be interested in crossing over?

But when Severus Snape learns that Lily’s son has been placed into the neglectful hands of the Dursleys, he makes the decision to take Harry away from them. His plan goes perfectly, until Remus Lupin, who barely survived the war or the death of his friends himself, confronts him.

I've been pretty bad about updating here, and now my fanfic is scattered all over the place.

I'll slowly be trying to move things over to AO3, and until then, I'll leave up the indexes to LJ fic before I lock everything down there.

Title: Be Positive

Pairing: Kurt/Blaine past relationship, Kurt/OCs, Kurt/Adam (main)

Warning: HIV plot. Hints of depression in later chapters.

Summary: As Kurt slowly tries to piece himself back together after the break-up, he and Adam circle around one another in New York without truly meeting. When Kurt comes home for Christmas, a prank and poor bookkeeping result in Kurt getting the shock of his life. Reeling from the news and still trying to be strong for those around him, Kurt returns to New York with baggage of a diagnosis he never expected weighing heavily on his shoulders that will complicate his life more than he thought possible. Then, he runs into Adam at NYADA.

AN: Shit doesn’t hit the fan until the next part.

Pairing: Kurt/Blaine past relationship, Kurt/OCs, Kurt/Adam (main)

Warning: HIV plot. Hints of depression in later chapters. I imagine this to be sensitive for some, and I have no intention of being appropriative. Also, sorry for the incredibly long build up. I had to put a lot of pieces into place before starting.

Title: Death in Absentia
Pair: Kadam
Warning: potential assault triggers, character death
Summary: Kurt and Adam come back to Lima, hoping to find Kurt's family alive.

AN: Takes place roughly around 4.21, but completely and horrifyingly AU. I’m evil... I think those of you who read me regularly know that. When I do this 'verse for real, I probably won't try to work this bit in, but I dunno. I AM terrible, so.

Not Blaine-friendly. Apocafic.

Pair: Kadam, Kurt and Santana friendship

Post “Guilty Pleasures.” Not Blaine-friendly (or really friendly to that many people)

This isn’t actually a duet, but they’re singing it as one.

You’d Be So Easy to Love/I Get a Kick Out of You

Part Two

“I’m trying to think of a jaunty tune for the fishing portion of our musical.” Kurt raked his eyes up and down Adam’s body. With his shirt destroyed to create a tourniquet and a bandage for Kurt’s head, Adam had been shirtless since before they’d found the island. Sadly, Kurt had only been able to appreciate this fact for a few hours.

This got longer than I’d planned for short fic where Adam loses his shirt.

Title: Downtime from Building the Future
Pair: Kadam
Includes: mpreg
Word count: 482

( By the time Adam slowed down, the snow had piled up around him so high that it was difficult to take his next steps. He looked around himself at the now winter wonderland of Bushwick, New York. He had no coat, no wallet, and no cell phone. Of course, he ought to have collected his things before heading out into a blizzard, but he’d been... distracted. )

Title: Your Corporeality (is all I need)
Pair: Kurt/Adam
Spoilers: Starts after 4.11 and goes through after 4.14 with vague hints towards the events in the episode, but they play out differently here.
Word Count: 4810
Prompt for apples_n_coffee: Kurt isn't sure if Adam's lack of romantic affection (he gets plenty of the brotherly kind) is due to Adam not being physically attracted to him, or Adam being overly considerate. Kurt decides to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and makes the first move himself.

Word Count: 2438
Summary: Adam attends at the Winter Showcase with a few apples and blown away by a surprise performer.
AN: The attending Apples are Joey Richter and the small blond girl. I need them to give the Apples names. :P

( The Apples had never really fancied The Winter Showcase. It wasn’t quite the pomp, or the circumstance. (They quite loved pomp, actually, under the right circumstances.) No, it was the falseness of it all. )

Current Mood: accomplished

Series: No Day But Today
Title: Fair Trade
Pair: Kurt/Blaine (and they’re actually featured in their own fic, shockingly)
Includes: The Zombies!
Word Count: 6175~
Summary: Santana encounters someone in her scouting. Kurt finds a use for Cooper. People are lost and gained.

( The horizon bled streaks of orange and red as the sun began its ascent. The hum of her bike in her ears, Santana sharply eyed the sky, the road ahead, the green untamed grass on either side of the asphalt. Then, a flicker. In the distance, Santana saw something moving. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and she leaned forward, slowing her bike to a halt. The figure was indistinguishable. Her lips twisted. She pulled out her crossbow anyway and held it aloft, waiting. )

Current Mood: ow my brain

Gaga's Bad Romance- How Rafe would sing it. :P

Includes: violence, zombies, bad sci fi, past mpreg
Rating: PG-13, language/violence
Summary: The refugees grieve, Mike leads the runners out for much needed supplies, and the survivors vote on their new leader.
Author’s Note: The scene in which everyone argues about everything was redundant and kind of boring, so I chopped it up into pieces, and touch on it throughout each person’s part. We’ll start jumping forward in time after this.

( Some went hesitantly. Others shot right up. But in the end, every hand had raised into the air. )

Current Mood: tired

Series: No Day But Today
Title: Family Reunion
Pair: Klaine
Includes: mpreg, zombies

Summary: Santana and Blaine collide as they are both dealing with the aftermath of the attack.

Current Mood: exhausted

Series: No Day But Today
Title: Wrecked
Pair: Klaine
Word Count: 6815
Includes: zombies, mpreg, BIG FEELS, character deaths
Summary: Though most of the Wastelanders are dead, by bullet, arrow, or walker, the survivors continue the fight against the walkers and take care of their injured.
AN: This part and upcoming ones are likely to be emotionally taxing... though maybe that's a given for this fic.

( Zombies and stuff )

Current Mood: busy

Title: It’s Not the Milk
Characters: Finn and Kurt, brotherly (or preslashy if you squint)
Word Count: ~2046
Summary: Post S3 Finale. Finn said that he cried over the decision to set Rachel free; Kurt was there to comfort him.

( A tentative knock on the doorframe causes Finn to turn his head before he can properly wipe his eyes. And that’s embarrassing. He’s gotten into his deep ugly cry, and it’s not manly or attractive at all. )

Current Mood: lonely

Includes: zombies, past mpreg, character deaths, Blaine’s dumb brother

Title: The More Things Change...
Pair: Kinn
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4880

Summary: Five years after his original Gleeks graduated from high school, Will Schuester meets them at Breadsticks for their reunion, only to be confused and surprised by his kids. Unfortunately, some of the Gleeks likewise don’t get what they expected.

Notes: AU after S2 Duets. Kurt never went to Dalton, and most of S3 never happened. This isn’t so flattering to Mr. Schue. Jumps from Schue’s pov in the first part to Finn’s in the second.

( Oh. Mr. Schue. )

Current Mood: cranky

Title: Debunking Dating for Desperate Dudes
Pairing: pre-slash Finn/Kurt
Word Count: ~4000
Summary: All through high school and college, Finn found himself unlucky in love. In that all of his relationships have all kind of sucked. He’s starting to think that he’s choosing the wrong kind of girl, so he listens to an audiobook for desperate guys looking to have better relationships. As he listens and reflects on what he wants in a relationship, he finds there's really only one answer: Kurt.

( If his friends knew what he was listening to as he worked out everyday, there’d be some raucous laughter for sure. )
