The Middle Distance

When I wrote this post a little while back about being stuck, some folks gave me the excellent advice of writing something slightly cracky and playful...

Three Maids and an Angel (Don’t Walk Into a Bar)

Three Aziraphale-centric GO Crossovers in Three Ficlets.
Rating: PG on principle.
Summary: Little girls everywhere get warned about the dangers of harmless-looking strange gentlemen, but no one ever warns such a “gentleman” about very strange girls.

The first was inspired by a prompt from catherinecookmn. The second by a convo with scholar_asriel. The third is dedicated to the memory of one of my favorite writers when I was a kid--I might not love stories so much without her.

( ...that has such people in it... )

Gotta go out real soon (don't wanna!), but enjoy while I'm gone!

Lessons learned from rock festivals? I don't care how hot it is, it's still physically impossible for me to stay grumpy while Sonic Youth is playing. Even if it's not one of their best nights.

Also: strapless bras are great in theory, but there must be some art to wearing them that I have never mastered, because I've never found one that doesn't migrate towards my waist, dragging my boobs down with it and making them look saggy when they aren't, and isn't that the very opposite of what a bra is supposed to do?

Appropos of nothing, from "Old Possum's Book of IMpractical Cats": I'm in love with these guys. Little cuddly kits are great but I want a Viking lynx!

I've written three more birthday drabbles, all of a crossovery flavo[u]r.

For vivien529: A GO/HP drabble (Minerva thinks that angel's got a little Slytherin in him!)

For signifier (who I get to see in August!): J.K. Rowling via J.L. Borges - Snape and the Aleph (also owes a conceptual debt to "The Three Versions of Judas")

For blueeyedtigress (who I get to see tomorrow!): GO/LOTR - Aziraphale and Crowley having a cuppa with Frodo

Productive? I think so.

Just under the wire...

On Widowmaker Road. (Lost Souls, Steve/Ghost, Halloween)

And it's...a fandom I've never written in before! (I had hoped to do a few of those).

The Gentle (fandom: Narnia. Prompt: Susan/anyone, jealous)

On the occasion of birthdays, a double-drabble on the subject of a gift.

Title: The Gift
Fandom: The Silmarillion
Pairing: have gone by many names. We'll say Morgoth/Sauron
Rating: R, I think, for kinky suggestion
Words: 200 exactly, excluding title

( It is done. Does it please thee? )
