The holiday ficcing season is over, and I would like to recommend the various fics I recieved for Christmas presents. I'll just go ahead and do them by fandom, I suppose.

Vorkosigan books
The Rules of Barrayaran Sex, Cordelia/Aral
Oh my god you guys this fic is made of SO MUCH AWESOME, particuarly if you, like me, tend to ship the old-married-couple ships. I asked for Cordelia and Aral being happily married, and my beautiful, amazing, wonderful gift-writer wrote me this... this marvelous work of art. It is full of tiny little touches of joy (Miles' first word being "Dammit", for example, or the entire thing about the socks), and it's SO in-character; it totally feels like scenes exerpted from the books. I just. I cannot. It is so full of joy, you guys. Read it immediately if you have read the Miles Vorkosigan books. If you have not read the Miles Vorkosigan books, read those immediately and THEN read this.

A Safe Bet, also Cordelia/Aral
This is a tag for Memory that I count as mine as well, because it was a deleted scene from Rules originally. It strikes all the same notes as Rules, with some additional emotional notes that don't quite match up. Anyway, it's just as utterly amazing if slightly less funny, and you should go and read it too.

Codex Alera
These aren't fic, but you should go look at them anyway, because they're awesome icons.

Tamora Pierce: Tortall
A Midwinter's Tale. Alanna/George, filled with cuteness and fluff.

Firefly
Christmas on Serenity, genfic set post-Serenity but in denial!verse, which is my personal favorite anyway so. An adorable little slice-of-life family!fic. Has Wash and Zoe, River being River, and Mal getting insulted.

Castle
Christmas Traditions. Genfic, a Castle family Christmas. Includes an awesome nod to the WriteRCastle feed that made me lol.

Stargate SG-1/X-files Crossover
Part one here, part two here. Inspired by the fact that Don S. Davis plays both General Hammond and Scully's dad, written for me by my homie eponymous_rose, made of awesome. Involves Jack being a prankster, jokes about Daniel's approach to aliens, Teal'c having more lines than "indeed," Sam being the responsible adult and slight Mulder/Scully shippiness.


Posts of all the fic I wrote soon to follow.

Title: Never Saw It Coming
Spoilers: Through Cursor's Fury, though nothing explicit.
Summary: "If you don't shut up," Tavi said, conversationally, "I will find something new and entertaining to do with a furylamp, and I guarantee you won't like it at all."
Fandom: Codex Alera
Rating: PG-13 for some mentions of sex.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Jim Butcher.
Notes: Written for beckyh2112 in the alera_ficathon. Her prompt was " Maximus, Kitai, and Tavi. Something light-hearted, set during Tavi's Legion officer days after "Cursor's Fury" but before "Captain's Fury"." I trust this works.

Also, the number of times I wrote "earthbending" when I meant "earthcrafting" is truly ridiculous. This is your fault, Bex.

Beta'd by the ever-wonderful priscellie.

Title: What You Don't Say
Summary: The phone call from Colonial One to Galactica: Laura Roslin is not pleased, and William Adama is not talking.
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica.
Spoilers: Up to Pegasus and like the first five minutes of Resurrection Ship I.
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Beta'd by the ever-lovely and ever-wonderful Priscellie.

Title: The UNIT Recruit's Handbook
Author: [info]tigerkat24
Characters/Pairings: Brigadier Winifred Bambera/Ancelyn, the Master, the Rani, Lucy Saxon, the Tenth Doctor, Donna, the Sea Devils, UNIT in general
Rating: PG at most.
Summary: The zeroth law of UNIT: it always gets weirder.
Word Count: 1000
Original Story: The Unbearable Weirdness of Being UNIT, by biichan.
Notes: Remixing any of biichan's work is both an honor and completely terrifying. I hope I've done her justice. Beta'd by the incomparable eponymous_rose.


( Julian Boyles was not having a good first day on the job. )

Meme Number One: Pick any one of my fanfics and I'll write a DVD commentary. Just for yooooou.

I'm tagging this post with the "fanfiction" tag, so you can more easily find the stuff I've written.

Meme Number Two: Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

I expect exactly no response to this, but that's okay.

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS

Okay, so I did who_remix, right, and my offer to write a drabble for anyone who figures out which story was the one I wrote still stands, but that's not the point. So I did who_remix and the entire point of who_remix is that somebody takes one of your stories and writes their own take on it.

So somebody remixed "Listening."

AND IT IS SO FUCKING AMAZING OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.

It just blew me away. The language, the nods to the original story and to the even-more-original show, Johnny, the Doctor, the TARDIS, the shipping, Tegan, just every tiny little thing. I would not change a word of this story, guys. OH MY GOD SO AMAZING. SO AMAZING.

Go ye hence and read it. SO GOOD.

*flails like an idiot some more*

Post one or more sentences from each of your WIP's because if you do you might be magically inspired to finish them.

( Hoo boy. )

( There turned out to be so many that I ended up splitting them into fanfiction and original fiction. )

11 and 17 may actually end up being the same story. I'm still percolating that one.

Also, if you can guess the fandom for the fanfics, I will... I don't know, do something nice for you. Maybe write you a drabble. Be careful: some of the obvious ones are less obvious than they look. :D

Anyway, which ones intrigue? Any of them look like I'm wasting my time?

Title: Inspection
Summary: Pellaeon has a conversation with a stormtrooper. The author's bugbear gets aired.
Fandom: Star Wars with a hefty dose of Dresden Files references.
Spoilers: Post-Hand of Thrawn. Doesn't spoil much but assumes knowledge of those events.
Rating: PG-13
Note[s]: Written for dark_puck as part of that comment meme a while back. Beta'd by Bex because she is lovely. Prompt was: Pellaeon and Murphy. Also, this fic assumes that the height requirements for stormtroopers are more like guidelines these days (u c wut I did thar?).

( One did not necessarily pay attention during inspections. )

At LONG GODDAMN LAST I have written some fic again. So. Here you go.

Title: Hail to the Pirate King
Summary: Some things are inherently silly. Like sex in a bucket.
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Spoilers: All three movies, but mostly At World's End. In case there's someone living under a rock somewhere who's not seen it.
Pairing: Will/Elizabeth
Rating: PG-13
Warning[s]: Implied sex. Written for Bex as part of that comment fic meme I did a while back. SEE I ACTUALLY WRITE THIS STUFF EVENTUALLY. Unbeta'd, but spellchecked.


( Here thar be silly!smut. )

First ten people to comment with a prompt on this post get a short ficlet from me.

Fandoms I'm willing to try include the Vorkosigan Saga, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, the Dresden Files (FG and WW, just because I quit doesn't mean I don't still love the universe), Tamora Pierce (beware; I haven't read Bloodhound), Codex Alera (up until halfway through Academ's Fury, anyway), the X-files, Firefly, Hot Fuzz, the Mummy, the Sarah Jane Adventures, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Middleman, Star Wars, Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series, Elemental Mages series, and Five Hundred Kingdoms series, and oh, hell, if I've read it or seen it, I'll probably write it. Except Lie to Me, Avatar, and the West Wing. And Star Trek.

Title: There's Nothing You and I Won't Do
Fandom: The Vorkosigan Saga, by Lois McMaster Bujold
Pairing: Aral and Cordelia Vorkosigan
Theme set: Delta
Rating: PG-13.
Warning[s]: Sexuality, violence, but nothing graphic. SPOILERS UP TO DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

( Read more... )

Soooo a while ago I wrote a Vorkosiverse fanfic entitled A Brother Is Born For Adversity. It's not great, not bad either, but not great. I had fun writing it, people seemed to have fun reading it, everything is good, and it faded off the radar, so I assumed that was that.

Apparently not.

Turns out someone translated it into Russian.

Yeah, I don't know.

In slightly less boggly news, Snark and Explosives was a runnerup for best Classic Who crossover in the Children of Time awards. So yay!

Title: Ten Ways Of Looking At A Holiday
Fandom: Doctor Who
Spoilers: If you've seen all the episodes thus far, you're good.
Rating: PG
Summary: The Doctor has a history of Christmases. Written for biichan in the fandom_stocking exchange.

( Ten Ways )

Title: postcards
Fandom: Dresden Files

Rating: PG
Summary: Maggie writes him postcards, every night. AU, Maggie/Malcolm.

( Maggie writes him postcards, every night. )

Title: He Knows If You've Been Bad Or Good
Fandom: Dresden Files (TV-verse)
Spoilers: None.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Harry, Murphy, a bunch of runaway elves, and Santa. Dun-dun-dun. Written for featherjean in the fandom_stocking exchange.

( Huh. )
