always been crazy

Ugh, nightmares and insomnia - why do they exist? So over that shit!

Next time I start feeling all whiny and shit, someone needs to shove me in the direction of stratospherique's LJ. It's probably wrong on some level that the Brat Prince Verse is happy place fic for me, but that's okay. Also, I owe stratospherique and apiphile comments, but the point is that BPV makes me happy.

I'm still playing catchup on drabbles/ficlets. I think it's a forever kind of prospect.

275 words, written for wook77, prompt: sectumsempra, scars, names

( Every scar tells a story, even when the tale is something a person wants to forget. )

225 words, written for phelixstar, prompt: van-days Bert and Quinn in a battle against the heat/boredom

( It is so fucking hot! )

I'm feeling better than I was, but I'm still not 100%. I can breathe, at least, even though there's a whining/ wheezey quality to it, and work!Amy brought me soup from Panera at lunch today. Also.... uh, I forgot what the "also" was. Whatever.

I'm never going to get caught up on LJ, but I'm determined to try, lol. In the meantime, how about this? We all have our pieces of personal canon for different fandoms, right? One of mine, that I'm sure everyone knows, is "Jason Gideon and John Winchester are/were friends. Or at least know one another." So, I'm gonna tell yall a few bits of MY personal canon, from different 'verses/fandoms/whatever, and yall tell me some of yours. Okay? Okay.

1. Molly Carpenter has a grasshopper tattoo.

2. Dean Winchester never lets anyone else work on the Impala, and he would even give up PIE if it meant he could get top-quality parts for her.

3. Spencer Reid was a virgin until well after he joined the BAU.

4. Despite the fact they were pretty fucking evil, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy love Draco more than anything.

5. Caius Greylace will pester the shit out of Alcibiades until one day Alcibiades wakes up and realizes he's completely, totally in love with Caius.

6. Fred Weasley - a ghost, of course - divides his time between terrorizing his brother at the shop (he may be dead, but he still has a say in what's going on!) and causing mischief at Hogwarts (his mischief is NEVER managed, and Professor McGonagall won't admit she rather likes having him around; the years of the Wars took a toll on the school and the laughter and good-natured pranks help strengthen the magic there.)

7. Brian and Justin will eventually end up together, but they were never meant to be married.

8. Shawn will never find a girlfriend that means more to him than Gus does.

9. Gabe is totally going to take credit for Sean and Zach finally getting their shit together and hooking back up.

10. A good portion of the people that Dean and Sam save have an underground support network, kinda like the Paranet.

And look! I managed to not use any real persons in my personal canon! That doesn't mean you have to refrain, though. I mean, it's also part of my personal canon that Sisky and the Butcher are so married that no one even acknowledges it anymore, so whatever.

SHARE WITH ME! :)

I don't follow football, so I've been watching reruns of Criminal Minds on A&E all evening instead. &BAU;

I also listened to Tom Conrad on Q101.com and heard the debut of Empires' new song. Can it be Tuesday now so I can have that song for my own?

Lol, I started to type "can it be Friday now?" Apparently I wanna fast forward this week!

FIC RECS:

Radial by philomel
SPN, Dean/Sam + the Impala. NC-17.
Beautiful fic showing how Dean feels about his car and his brother.

Princess of Dragons by gelsey
HP, Charlie, Victoire
Charlie is made Victoire’s godfather upon her birth, and he becomes an intrinsic part of her life. (such a lovely bit of writing, I love Charlie in this)

This actually needs to be its own 'verse. So consider this the first part and I may come back to write more later?

Title: International Werewolf Relations
Fandom: Harry Potter/The Dresden Files
Characters/Pairings: Harry/Draco, Billy/Georgia, Teddy Lupin
Rating: suitable for Everyone
Word Count: 1427 words
Disclaimer: I own nothing of either the Wizarding world of JKR or the supernatural world of Jim Butcher. Written in fun.
Summary: Harry and Draco take Teddy to Chicago the summer before he starts Hogwarts.

( Draco detests Muggle transportation, but Trans-oceanic Apparition is complicated, dangerous, and draining. )

Fic Recs and Fic Dump :)

BUT FIRST! The usedfic Exchange needs a pinch hitter for a story!

ANYONE? You don't have to be part of the challenge already to pinch hit, and the minimum is only 1000 words.

So, speaking of The Used, here's where I got my crack-ration to start my week off right:

California Son by valerie_z
Tim (Rancid)/Bert (The Used) || NC-17 (but just barely) || Warning for incest
He didn't know why Bert bothered him so much. Something about the guy just got under his skin. He could talk for an hour with the intern at Machete who thought 9/11 was an inside job, but one smirk from Bert McCracken and he was ready to start swinging. He just needed to keep his distance.

And a Harry Potter rec. Now, I'm not actually so much into Snarry, I only read it when certain people write it. And mimiheart is one of those people.

Finding Peace by mimiheart
Genre(s): Genderbender/Crosdressing
Prompt(s):Secrets and Lies, Sanctuary
Harry/Snape || R, please read posted warnings || ~17,000 words
It takes a great hero to defeat the Dark Lord. Sometimes it takes a greater one to face oneself.

One of my long overdue drabbles. This one is for irisgirl12000, who asked for Dean/Castiel with a prompt of fallen, wings. It's also not exactly Dean/Castiel, b/c I can't wrap my mind around that, but it's close enough. 100 words.

( Castiel hated to admit  )

And this is something related to my Big Bang Fic. If I ever do attempt to write porn, I inevitably get it halfway written and then stop. And then it never gets finished, lol. And we all know I have the attention span of a small butterfly, so. Anyway, this kinda stops in the middle of everything, and it's technically unbeta'd even though it's been read by several people. But I'm dumping it so I don't have to keep thinking about it sitting here unfinished.

Untitled Pete/Patrick/Ashlee
Obviously NC-17 || ~2800 words
Set the day Bob leaves for Chicago in Basement Romantic

( Patrick hoped Pete would be gone by the time he made it back from the airport, but it didn't work that way. )

I really need to not be online for the next few days. I've got job search requirements to fill, plus my telecommunicator testing on Friday, and my actual certification testing (eep!) on Saturday that I need to study for, and Thursday we're going to that concert in Richmond so that's like half a day (at least) gone right there. But the internet is so darned distracting!

I've got a million things I want to post about (I know, yall are tired of seeing my name come up on your flist, sorry!!) but I'm trying to be RESPONSIBLE and get other stuff done first. But I read this fic this morning and I really HAVE TO share.

The Path Less Traveled By by gelsey
Harry Potter || Percy/Oliver, Weasley family, Albus Dumbledore || R, Dark themes, language, suicidal urges || 3,190 words
Summary: Percy Weasley must tread a darker road than anyone knows when he gets out of school and begins his life. Not everything is as it seems.

I don't even know where to start with this. I don't usually like Percy, but I do like it when authors explore his character a bit because he actually isn't that fleshed out in canon and we only see him through Harry's eyes. This is just such an excellent exploration of what could have been; I cannot believe gelsey made me cry over Percy while still staying true to canon. Plus, Oliver Wood is always a welcome addition. Yes, I'm totally in love with Wood, what of it? *g* Anyway, this is an excellent little read, and I highly suggest it to everyone, whether you're actually in HP fandom or not. And, as always, be sure to leave a little note for the author letting her know what you think. :)

I am a slacker. I've come to accept this. Yall still love me, right?

somehow, this particular round of fic-dumpage is all the fault of reallythateasy.

500 words of H/D. reallythateasy asked for “the first time Harry runs into Draco after he and Ginny get divorced”

( The first weekend Harry gets his kids, he’s really not sure what to do with them. )

200 words of Gabe-centric nonsense, written when the news came out that Gabe couldn’t talk for a week

( When Gabe is told he needs to rest his voice for a week, his band decides that equals permission to take him home and fuss over him. )

200 words of Winchesters for the prompt words: Walmart, motorcycle, whining

( Dean usually avoided Walmart )

500 words, Patrick-centric. This has been sitting here for a while. I’m really not sure who it was originally for or what the prompt was, but I have a vague recollection that it was supposed to involve Gerard, so it was probably for reallythateasy.

( Patrick doesn’t remember what city they were in when it started )

So, I've been toying around with the idea of writing Eighth Year HP 'verse (post-DH but epilogue disregarded). I have parts of it outlined in my head, and I really like how it seems to be coming together. Anyway, I also have a list of prompt words given to me by some of my favorite girls, and I intended to use them for drabbles, but this one got out of hand. Tell me what you think?

Title: A Chance to Be Not-Enemies
Fandom/Pairing: Harry Potter, Harry/Draco(ish)
Rating/Word Count: Everyone, 1000 words
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, or any other part of JKR's wizarding world. No harm intended.
Summary: Now the Eighth Years were planning a long weekend in Romania, to visit Charlie Weasley and to learn something about dragons as extra credit for Care of Magical Creatures. Malfoy had apparently declined the opportunity.

A/N: Written as a result of wook77's prompt words: laugh, cry, blue. The truth-or-dare game referred to within can be found here.

( He told himself it didn’t matter, but the truth of the situation was it did. He just didn’t want to have to ask himself why that was. )

Some of the ficbits that I wrote this weekend from the awesome prompts some of yall gave me:

reallythateasy asked me for Tom/Ryan: make up, photos, kisses. Because I didn't know which Ryan Crystal meant, she ended up with two things. I actually know nothing about Ryan-from-Empires, though, other than he exists.

300 words, Tom/Ryan Ross

( And for all the photos Tom appeared to take, Ryan hadn't seen a single one. )

*****

200 words, Tom/Ryan-from-his-band (in which I actually completely ignore the prompt words, sorry)

( Tom knows a million reasons he should avoid inter-band relationships. )

*****

gelsey asked for Narnia: Edmund & Caspian, gen, warning Caspian about hurting Susan. 100 words.

( Caspian was surprised to see Edmund waiting for him, sword in hand. )

*****

wook77 asked for Latter Days: scars. 200 words.

( Christian had a habit of running his thumb over the bottom of the scar on Aaron's arm. )

*****

chaeldub asked for HP: Seamus/Dean - Year 8, Absinthe, socks. 200 words

( Seamus tried to be quiet as he stumbled in the dark through the Gryffindor common room. )

*****

HP: Harry/Draco, 200 words (to preface the h/d I actually wrote for a prompt)

( Draco couldn't sleep a lot of nights -- nightmares, too much quiet, too many thoughts )

*****

chaeldub also asked for HP: Harry/Draco - wand, dare, bite. 500 words

( Truth or dare with a shared bottle of firewhisky among the Eighth Years was always risky business, but the stakes were even higher when the former Slytherins got involved. )

*****
More to come tomorrow...

Think yall can handle one more ficlet type thing?

( 350 words of random h/d )

And I posted my (very very late) ficlet for slashfest.

Title: Sins
Author: why_me_why_not (aka, Tabby)
Requestor: irisgirl12000 (aka, my favorite fanduck)
Fandom/Pairing: Criminal Minds, Morgan/Reid
Rating, Word Count: 521
Disclaimer: I don't own the BAU or any of the characters contained within this work of FICTION. No disrespect or harm intended.
Prompt: Morgan/Reid When Hankel (The Big Game/Revelations, season 2) tortured Reid and Morgan said we all have sins. What sins have he and Reid committed that Reid might have confessed to?

Morgan knows a million little things that Reid could confess to, any number of which would be considered a sin in Hankel's eyes, but the one thing he knows would condemn Reid is the one thing he hopes doesn't come up.
