Stuff I wrote in 2017
Dec. 29th, 2017 09:17 pmSo, the obligatory roundup! Not the most productive year for me, fannish-wise, but I did manage a few things. In a couple of different fandoms, even.
Fic:
Buffyverse:
Ye Gods And Little Fishes (AO3) The first, aborted, trip to China, and why they never got there. Darla hates sea voyages, and Drusilla hates being left alone. So when she finds her grandmum alone on deck and lost in thoughts, she has to keep her attention somehow. Darla/Drusilla.
Locked Out (AO3) Faith's turning 18 in jail, which is a good opportunity for the Council to get rid of her without having to break protocol. Unless Buffy finds time to get involved, in the midst of all the Dracula magical key sister hellgod mess. Buffy/Faith.
A Little Bird Told Me (AO3) Modern AU of the end of "Choices", after Willow is freed from the evil clutches of the Mayor. Gen.
Nice Girls Don't Stay For Breakfast (AO3) After the mess that was Homecoming and Slayerfest '98, Faith invites Buffy back to her motel for drinks. Fast forward a few hours and Buffy's emphatically NOT freaking out, just trying to figure out the best way to sneak out of a motel bed without waking Faith up. Buffy/Faith.
The Bottom of the Garden (AO3) What if Willow went back to the Coven after the fall of Sunnydale? After Miss Harkness dies, leaving the coven without leadership, they ask Willow to stay for just a few days and help sort things out. And hey, once you've saved the world a few times, you deserve a holiday, don't you? Gen(ish).
Don't Open 'Til Doomsday (AO3) You think shopping for holiday gifts is hard? Imagine being a minion having to find the perfect gift for your Big Bad. Here's five more or less successful attempts at figuring out what the boss wished for. Mostly less. Gen.
Person of Interest:
Junk Code (AO3) Once upon a time, there was a happy little girl…then she grew up and turned into a monster. Root/Shaw.
Stand Still, Stay Silent:
Blood Makes Noise (AO3) Tuuri's situation after chapter 13. Someone has to fix the tank so everyone can get home, even if... Gen.
Five Times Everyone Thought Sigrun Eide Was Dead (AO3) Five 100-word drabbles about five times throughout Sigrun's life where everyone thought she had to be dead. Gen.
Meta:
Buffy at 20: She saved the world a lot. Uh... Which world, exactly? Of all the many "Why Buffy still matters" essays people wrote this year, this is one of them.
Worldcon Report
Twin Peaks: Season 3, and the finale, and what the hell?
I did the Horror October challenge and wrote about 31 horror movies. The more indepth posts: IT (1990), IT (2017), Stranger Things, and the safe comfort of nostalgia; 10 Cloverfield Lane and how the alien invasion saga changed between 9/11 and 2016. Also, my top 20 horror movies.
Just for posterity's sake:
My last LJ post, following the Great Russian TOS Fuckery.
So, let's see what 2018 brings. I do have one or two plotbunnies I need to let out of the cage at some point, so...
