An E.V.I.L. Production (Evoking Voracious Inspirational Leaps)

Because there's nothing quite like driving home from work at quarter to four on a Friday afternoon, having gotten in the left-most lane on the MassPike only to stop nearly every 100 feet or so because there are THAT MANY people trying to merge in where the right lane drops off... and have Don Henley start wailing about life in the fast lane.

O_o

Gacked from wizefics:

'Ship trends meme: List your 10 favorite (at the moment) 'ships and ask your friends list what they see.

(Except I'm not sure I even have 10 favorite 'ships total, much less "at the moment". Well, we'll give it a try anyway...)

Ranked in most recent order of obsessivity:

1. Jack Sparrow/James Norrington (PotC)
   
2. Spike/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
   
3. Shannon/Jeff (Voltron - Vehicles)
   
4. Oohira Tatsuki/Oohira Kotarou (Hands Off!)
   
5. Boromir/Faramir (LotR)
   
6. Washio Ken/Asakura Joe (Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman)
   
7. Keith/Lance (Voltron - Lions)
   
   (As I suspected... not 10. To round out, some that I kinda obsessed over, but only briefly or not recently, or haven't written.)
   
   
8. Connor MacManus/Murphy MacManus (Boondock Saints)
   
9. Mouri Shin/Sanada Ryo (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers)
   
10. Jack O'Neill/Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1)
    

So... whatchu think? I notice two trends (possibly three) right off.

And here is the last of it. One last note - the demons' method of time-travel is rather… abstract.

For full headers, please see the previous chapters.

Title: The Past is a Different Country
Rating: Formerly NC-17; a strong PG-13 this chapter
Warnings: Nudity and angst, though one much more than the other in this chapter. Buffy continuing to be Buffy? Let's not forget the angst.

Disclaimer: It all belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy.  I’m just playing in their sandbox.

Chapter One | Chapter Two

( Chapter Three )

Comments and criticism always greatly appreciated.

When I said I wanted to finish this fic by the weekend, I didn't mean Memorial Day weekend!

Unfortunately, however, that's how it happened. And this chapter was where all my hangups happened. It was easier to write the ending, as contrary as that might be to reason. So I struggled through this chapter, and I'm afraid it may show in parts. If so, please let me know!

Title: The Past is a Different Country
Fandom: BtVS
Pairing: Spike (William)/Buffy
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Angst and smut, though one much more than the other in this chapter. Buffy continuing to be Buffy?
Notes: Written for tibialisant for the Art/Fic exchange on nekid_spike. This was great fun to do, if highly frustrating at times. ^^;;
Summary: Buffy interrupts a ritual that some demons are performing, and gets caught up in its time-travel effects. She ends up in the past, and meets a man…

Chapter One (or I suppose you could just scroll down the page, as I haven't been terribly post-y of late... ^^;;; )

( Chapter Two )

Continued in Chapter Three.

And again, ganked from slaymesoftly, who can apparently lead me hither and yon tonight...

Honestly, though, please tell me what you think? Thanks! I'd really appreciate it.

Nicked from slaymesoftly...

Better with Randi on It!

That pretty much sums you up!

Now, if I were that kind of person, I'd probably say something like "That's what my boyfriend always says! *narf*" but I'm not, so I won't. *grin*

Oh, yes, I'm feeling terribly witty tonight. ^^;;

So this fic is a big part of the reason I felt like I over-extended myself on my writing commitments this month. It started to eat my brain for a little while.

While I am starting to believe that posting a fic before it's done is the kiss of death to said fic, I am about 2/3 done with this, and would very much like to have it done before the weekend. Let us see if that actually happens. ^^;;;

Without further ado:

Title: The Past is a Different Country
Fandom: BtVS
Pairing: Spike (William)/Buffy
Rating: NC-17 eventually; PG this chapter
Warnings: Angst and smut. Or maybe smut and angst, but neither in this chapter. Buffy being Buffy? Also, this is still a WIP at this time, but I will finish it as soon as may be.
Notes: Written for tibialisant for the Art/Fic exchange on nekid_spike. I love this challenge, and am only sad that I couldn't finish it before the end of the month.
Summary: Buffy interrupts a ritual that some demons are performing, and gets caught up in its time-travel effects. She ends up in the past, and meets a man...

My day for seasonal_spuffy!

Unfortunately, I overloaded myself on commitments this month, and didn't get done nearly the amount of writing I wanted to for this round. (Not to mention that I went and renewed my love affair with a different pairing.) Still, I did manage to finish this, though I completely fail at the poetry. Still, it was inspired by a song… ^^;;

Many thanks to enigmaticblues for hosting another round!

Title: Letter to Me
Fandom: BtVS
Pairing: Spuffy (o'course)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Angst, mostly. Mention of past character death; see notes below.
Notes: Set mostly post-Chosen, and completely discounting pretty much anything in the comic-verse.
Summary: The letter really was a time capsule, just like it said in the note… It just wasn't really what Buffy expected.

Disclaimer: It all belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, not me.  *big sigh*

( Letter to Me )

Comments and criticism are always greatly appreciated.

So... mendax did a round of "Marry, Fuck, Kill", and offered to share the pain fun with anyone who wanted some.

^^;;;

So, because I simply don't have enough to do, I figure I can waste a little time on this. So, in mendax's immortal words, it's "Marry, Fuck, Kill," the Seeking New Planets edition (aka the Vehicle Voltron edition), as she gave me Commander Hawkins, Commander Hazar and Shannon.

( Seek out exciting people and kill them... )

If anyone else would like to try, please leave a comment. Any takers out there in LJ-land?

Karma has a way of doing one in when one least expects it.

So I've been completely jonesing for Jack Sparrow/James Norrington of late. (Yes, I did recently rewatch all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, why do you ask?) And while trolling through scruffy_love (because I loves me some scruffy!James!), I came across some truly lovely art, which you'll find linked below. Because I'm an awful tease, I showed it to quillaninc yesterday (just ask her! She called me a tease no less than twice yesterday, and possibly a temptress as well), while she was busily working on fic. However (and this would be where karma comes into play), it turns out that I was the one who ended up being so tempted by the pic I had to fic around it. So I managed to churn this out in about 3 and 1/2 hours last night, which is definitely some kind of record for my muse of late.

No, I'm not procrastinating on either my seasonal_spuffy piece or the art/fic exchange fic for nekid_spike. Really.

Title: Fallen
Fandom: PotC
Characters: Jack Sparrow and James Norrington
Rating: PG, really.
Warnings: Angst (you're shocked, I'm sure). General slashiness. Other warnings also apply, but please to let me keep it a surprise, yes? If in doubt, refer to angst. Wingfic! Also, while I take into account some aspects of Dead Man's Chest, I completely discount most of it (like… the whole Davy Jones thing?).
Notes: Inspired by this piece of art (and how) by anyasy.
Summary: Jack didn’t know where the wings had come from – they were just always there.

Disclaimer: These pretty boys sail under the flag of the Mouse.  Not mine, no money, only playing.

( Fallen )

Comments and criticism always gratefully accepted.

Oh, mendax, I love your prompts. I know that I mentioned to you in email that my mind dove right to the gutter for this prompt, but I didn't quite make it to the smexing, for which I do grovel. In my head, though, there was copious amounts of smut involved. ^^

And now that the novocaine has worn off (finally!), I'm going to see if I can eat something...

Title: Cutting Loose
Fandom: Volron - Vehicle
Characters: Jeff and Shannon *grin*
Rating: R (didn't quite make it to the smut...)
Warnings/Notes: Oh, the slash. ^^
Summary: Jeff is not well suited to R&R on an allied planet, untill Shannon decides to help him out.

Disclaimer: WEP owns Voltron in all its incarnations.  Dang it.

( Cutting Loose )

Comments and criticism, as always, geatly appreciated.

I wanted to write some Boondock Saints fic, in honor of the sequel (hopefully!) being released this year. However, Connor and Murphy didn't want to play with me. *pout* So, because I could come up with something for the Xander and Angel ficlets, I wrote that instead.

Title: On the Run
Fandom: BtVS
Characters: Angel and Xander
Rating: PG-13 (about)
Notes: Follows Blindsided, which follows The Demon Inside.
Summary: Just what Angel needs right now... the Initiative.

Disclaimer: Not mine, no money, and so on.

( On the Run )

Comments and criticism always gratefully accepted.

So, I decided I needed to play around with some quizzes/meme, and the first one just blew my mind.

( Cut for omglol! )

Okay... that's quite enough of that foolishness. *goes back to wandering through fanficrants and metaquotes and avoids working on fic liek woah*

It's that time again... I'm taking control of your f-list to make some music recs. *grin*

( I just feel the need to share. )

Take! Buy! Enjoy! And let me know what you liked (if anything)!

For those of you not in the know, in nekid_spike, the smut runs wild and free. (Oh, so very free!) In a recent post there, the mods reminded us that there were, in fact, actual rules. In the comments attached to that post, one of the mods made a brilliant observation: "Smut is a basic human right!" To great applause, the mods changed the tagline of the comm to reflect these wise words. And then a little further down, a request was made to have that on a tee-shirt.

It was a Sunday when I saw that, so, of course, I had to share with my very dear quillaninc. She worked her usual magic, also of course, so now, for your perusal, there is SMUT to be had.

So, if you belong to nekid_spike and want to share the tag with all and sundry, or you just want to proclaim your love of smut, now you can.

Smut! It's a basic human right!

So now it's mendax's turn for her next fic o' the year. She always gives me prompts I love to write, and only very rarely do I feel like tearing my hair out as I write. She also likes dragging me back to my slashy, cartoony "roots", and I must admit I'm quite willing to be dragged. *grin*

Title: Always Understood
Fandom: Voltron - Lions
Characters: Keith and Lance
Rating: PG-13 (or higher)
Warnings/Notes: Um.  A whisper of slash, a strong scent of alcohol and a sudden dash of angst. For mendax's latest prompt.
Summary: Lance knows Keith, and this is something he just can't let go.

Disclaimer: WEP owns Voltron.  I just borrow them from time to time.

( Always Understood )

As always, comments and criticism are really appreciated.

The next ficlet for heeroluva in her year o' fic is actually a continuation of the last ficlet for her. So here is some more of possibly possessed!Xander and antsy!Angel, based on the plotbunny she set loose on me. Again, my insecurities - not having used Xander or Angel much, I'd really like to know if they ring too out of character.

Title: Blindsided
Fandom: BtVS
Characters: Xander and Angel
Rating: PG-13, possibly higher.
Warnings/Notes: Nil (except for a bit of violence and one curse word). Set in BtVS s4 and Angel s1.
Summary: Xander isn't happy that Angel's back in town, and he's really not happy that Angel is playing the "demonic possession" card.

Disclaimer: It all belongs to Joss.  Not mine, no money, etc.

( Blindsided )

Comments and criticism gratefully accepted, as always.

So, because I can be E.V.I.L. (no, really!), and because I am, to quote mendax "hoisting joannindiw on a loosely-worded petard", I wrote the following. This, despite knowing for a fact that joannindiw reads pretty much only slash. But I was goosed by an imp and couldn't stop myself.

Title: Taking Control
Fandom: Gatchaman
Characters: Ken and Jun
Rating: NC-17 (yes, this really has no redeeming qualities whatsoever...)
Warnings: Porn. HET porn. <-- joannindiw, take notice!

Disclaimer: Tatsunoko Pro owns Gatch, not me.  *le sigh*

( Taking Control )

^^;;; Comments?

Third and last fic. *smooches* for blondebitz for choosing some Slayers for me to play with!

Title: Not Your Average Date
Characters: Nekid couple:Faith and Buffy
Rating: NC-17 (omg, what?)
Warnings: Femmeslash FTW!
Notes: Faith just kind of took over. But I'm not complainin'.

Disclaimer: All Joss, not me, no money, etc., ad infinitum.

( Not Your Average Date )

Comments and criticism gratefully accepted, as always.

Second fic. Had a bit of a difficult time coming up with a situation for this 'un, but I think I managed… Thanks to blondebitz for choosing this one for me!

Title: The Best Place in Town
Characters: Nekid couple: Riley Finn and Lindsey MacDonald (Oh, teh pretteh.)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Slightly slashy, mostly fluffy
Notes: Imagine, if you will, that the boys met because Riley was taking his undergrad studies at the same time Lindsey went home to visit family. ^^

Disclaimer:  All Joss, not mine, no money, etc.
