It only took me twelve days...and now I'm really tempted to come up with a wretched pun on partridges in pear trees. I fear I am far too sleepy, though.

Here, darlings, the ficlets--there are superheroes, stories about music, awkward high school AUs, rare pairings, gen, lots of alwaysagirl, gen, Gotham City, and random crossovers. In order, we have the following:


The Right Music, Z/Tennessee, for [livejournal.com profile] softlyforgotten. Z's pretty sure it's her turn to be brave.


One More Time With Feeling, girl!Bob/girl!Brian, also for [livejournal.com profile] softlyforgotten (the trick is to leave me a first prompt and then have the second one be my favorite pairing in all the land). Bob glows when she plays.


I Should Refuse You, Bob/Mikey/Alicia, for [livejournal.com profile] fleurdeliser. Bob isn't used to having epiphanies in the kitchen.


Ready To Go Anywhere, Mikey/Ray, for [livejournal.com profile] antihysteric. Ray has a crush. Frank knows about it.


Temptin' You To Defy It, Lyn-Z/Z Berg, for [livejournal.com profile] unlurkster. This is set in a verse where Z and Lyn-Z go to the same high school, and Z sings in Kitty and Lyn-Z's band. She also happens to be dating Lyn-Z, and prom is coming up.


Should I Wait?, Frank/Gerard, for [livejournal.com profile] ciel_vert. Frank is definitely thinking too much about that one time when Gerard kissed him and they weren't on stage.


In Time, Patrick and William gen, for [livejournal.com profile] airgiodslv. Patrick isn't sure how to do this coming out thing.


Not Afraid To Look At Her, possible future girl!Bob/Frank, for [livejournal.com profile] jrho. Bob is not down with this shit.


Cast Your Dancing Spell My Way, Z and girl!Ryan, for [livejournal.com profile] blindmouse. When Ryan woke up, she'd figured it out. Superpowers!au.


Take The Dark Out Of The Nighttime, Bob/Gerard/Lyn-Z, for [livejournal.com profile] crowgirl13. More of the Bob/Gerard/Lyn-Z in Gotham AU; more epiphanies for Bob.


Stay While The Night Is Still Ahead, girl!Brendon/girl!Spencer, for [livejournal.com profile] bayleaf. Set in the same verse as the Z-and-Ryan one above. Spencer wants Brendon to stay.


Not Alone In The Dark, Kon/Veronica Mars, DCU/Veronica Mars crossover for [livejournal.com profile] jamjar. Kon has been at Neptune High for a while now, but it's kind of lonely.


Stuck Inside A Mobile, Jon and Tom gen (and a random AU), for [livejournal.com profile] halflinen. And off they go, down the rabbit hole...

I had two posts to make today; this one is the one I shouldn't need to make. Today is the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women. It's a long name for a day and a hefty undertaking, unfortunately, because this is a world where women get hurt. And I can't actually write a post about this, because the terrible things that happen to women, it's the thing I carry and don't know what to do with because it hurts so goddamn much.

And by that I mean I know too many women who have been hurt by somebody, I've taken too many phone calls, you know how it goes, but I can't stop taking the phone calls or hearing the stories, even when I have no idea what to say. Really, there isn't much you can say except "I'm so sorry someone did that to you" and "I'm here" and "I love you."

So here is a story of mine. A ficlet, really. It'll have to stand in for meta, today. Let's just all agree that this fucking bullshit needs to end.



Title: On Your Marks
Pairing: Alicia gen.
Warnings: reference to past rape and violence.
Word Count: 975
Summary: AU. Alicia is fighting a revolution and she is a former prisoner of war. She wasn’t expecting to see one of her jailers again, let alone as one of their prisoners, but that's okay, she has things she needs to say.

A/N: Technically, this is set in my Big Bang verse, but all the context it needs from that is in the summary. Also, this is in no way intended as a commentary on what victims of sexual assault should do/need to do/or what closure should look like, this is a story I needed to write and something I need to post today. ETA: And I forgot to say, [livejournal.com profile] thesamefire looked at this for me back in June when I wrote the first half, and she told me the thing I needed to fix the ending. Thank you again, darling.

Oh, yes, she knows this man. )
