Ficlet: Make It Deep (So It Always Shows)
Dec. 6th, 2009 11:19 amSo it's
wasoncedelight's birthday. Darling, darling, I've had so much fun with you in the past nine months or so--all the commentfics, the babbling, the writing talk, the everything. I love you. Today should be a great day, because you more than deserve it.
I wrote you a tiny thing, a ficlet I've owed you for a while. It's Frank gen, before my big bang happens, and I hope you like it, dearest. ♥, so much, okay?
Title: Make It Deep (So It Always Shows)
Pairing: Frank gen
Warnings: None! (that's a first for this verse)
Word Count: 405
Summary: AU. Tattoos are forbidden, music is forbidden, anything fun is forbidden, is it really any wonder that Frank gets himself expelled and takes off for New York City?
( A visible tattoo may not have been the best idea ever. )

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,
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. )

sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Jun. 21st, 2009 10:47 pmI'm back from the cottage and the holiday of subtle fertility symbolism--for the record, I did no frog-hopping this year, but we walked all over, went biking, picked seven kinds of flowers and put them underneath our pillows (tradition--it's supposed to make you dream of your intended), got quite drunk and had excellent food. And then I dreamed about a friend of my sister's, which was not on, so I told my sister about it when she called me the next day, and that should cancel it out. Hopefully.
I'm a stage kid; we're terribly superstitious.
But that was not the point of this post at all. You might have noticed me posting a story last week? WELL. I came home to find out
absenteye had made me art!!! AWESOME ART. Art that is supposed to be Lindsey's art from the story! Oh my GOD, you guys, I love it so.
( mildly spoilery, so it goes behind a cut )
