30 Days of Fanfic Writing - Day 18

18. Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka “bunnies”) from?

I get most of my inspiration from the source material itself, and my constant ruminations on it.

What if scenarios, certain lines, certain looks… Possibilities venture from those moments, and I’m very interested in them.

A Slow Ripening Fruit comes just from Veronica and Weevil’s friendship throughout the series, and how it has this sort of tension and how Weevil, at a certain point, is standing entirely on his own and I wanted him more interconnected.

By Contrast with the Love comes specifically from Veronica’s broken, “He killed my father”, because even though KBell and RT have said Veronica would become dark and vengeful without that balancing force in her life, I do think it can go another way (I leave writing dark and vengeful Veronica to other writers).

In a Past and Future Town came from the line, “You know there is another of looking at this, Logan. If you’d still been together, you might be dead too.” That idea, not to be puntastic, haunted me. Logan could have been dead, too. And what would have happened from that point? Who would Veronica have become?

The ones that don’t come from the source material or musing over the source material typically come from discussions. elenaontop talking about Mac acquiring Gia’s cat. I had a back and forth with doppelbangher a while ago about what would have happened if Logan got arrested for killing Lilly, and how Duncan would react, and I started writing it because it’s an interesting idea. And then there are the actual prompts vmficrecs sends out, which set off a flurry of bunnies, only half of whom come to fruition in time for submission (I still have tabs and tabs of prompts open that I am working on various stories for). My only two Wallace stories came from prompts, as did my Lianne fic.

The thing that I think is most important about taking fic ideas from other sources is to site that source. If I end up publishing the “Logan is charged with Lilly’s murder” story, I’m linking doppelbangher after I discuss that with her before hand, because it was her prompting that got my muse going. Getting ideas from other places happens, and that’s great - but credit where credit is due is also a must in those situations. Which may be why all of my published stories are either based in the source material or out and out prompts to be filled. Because I don’t want anyone to feel like I’m stepping on their toes or taking their intellectual property - which is what I think meta ultimately is.

““I figured if I was ever in bad enough shape for them to have to call whoever I listed, it wasn’t like my boys or my sister were going to be able to do shit about it. You, on the other hand, shit goes sideways and I get screwed… I’ll bet any day on your ability to stick your nose in the middle of it and do your Mars thing.” “I’m not sure whether to be flattered or appalled,””

Reestablished 2024 by @lodessa

Veronica gets a surprise call from the emergency room…

This is just soft WeeVer fic. I appreciate someone playing with the soft side of their potential rather than going full spice.

To all my fellow LoVe shippers who are feeling down I have one thing to say.

I can’t make the last 8 minute of season 4 disappear but I can recommend some really great LoVe fanfiction that will make you feel at least a little bit better. So without further ado here are a few of my favorite LoVe fics!

A Hard Habit to Break by mskatej Nothing gets Veronica over her failed relationships better than Logan Echolls.

…And Long For You by AbsolutelyIris It was moments like those Veronica wished she could be like Lilly- storm into his house and curse and yell and damn him to hell before demanding he fuck her…and like with Lilly, he would gladly, if reluctantly, do so.

“Any Love Is Good Love, Baby” by wily_one24 Apparently, Hollywood was wrong, the devil did not wear Prada, the devil wore butch black boots and tiny little skirts.

The Best (and Only) Kept Secret in Neptune by vixleonard Even when they hated each other, Logan and Veronica just couldn’t stay away from each other.

The Burdened Vessel by vixleonard Veronica needs a favor only Logan can help her with.

Every Belt That Ever Hit Someone (Is Still Made to Hold Something Up) by igrockspock Logan doesn’t get any votes for Most Changed at the ten-year reunion, which is bullshit when you think about it. In the past ten years, everything in his life has changed. He’s joined the Navy, dated a pop star, and figured out that Dick Casablancas can occasionally behave like a real human being. Only one thing hasn’t changed: he’s still in love with Veronica Mars. Oh, and he’s suspected of murdering his girlfriend.

“Fear and Loathing in Neptune” by wily_one24 Veronica Mars was going to get herself laid. Series Part 1 of Any Love

A Fine and Endless Cycle by kartography A freshman year at Hearst and the cyclical nature of love

Fireworks by AliLamba Veronica is technically not a virgin, and awkward results ensue. An AU version of LoVe’s first time.

For the Sake of a Friend by jacedesbff What if Logan and Veronica were involved in a secret relationship throughout the events of Season 1?

The Game of Trust by Kantayra of Yore (Kantayra) This time Veronica really did trust him, and she knew how to prove it…

Getcha, Getcha, Getcha, Getcha by Kantayra of Yore (Kantayra) Veronica and Logan prank each other. Really, it’s shameless the way they flirt…

Give Me The Ocean by scandalpants Post Season 3 AU. Veronica decides what she really wants. Spoiler: it’s not Piz.

Home Is Where The Heart Is by: lv63 AU preseries and forward, begins in season 1. this story is all about veronica and her friends. angst, mystery, humor and romance, LoVe and MaDi. summary in prologue.

I Hate You Because by: SilverLining2k6 Mid 1X3 - Meet John Smith. Logan, Veronica, a pool, snark, and a made up drinking game.

i knew you were trouble when you walked in by youcallitwinter And, it’s just— Logan had always been her intense high-school romance, sure. But she had, somewhere along the way, in some secret corner of her mind, convinced herself that was all he was; a high-school romance. Explosive, powerful, passionate, and bound to burn itself out eventually

(Im)Perfection by AbsolutelyIris The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

In a World by: my shangri-la A/U! Exploring the ‘what ifs’ that could have happened if Lilly Kane hadn’t been murdered, and her secrets – and others – had come out anyway. Pairings: Lilly/Logan, past Duncan/Veronica, eventual Logan/Veronica. (Story begins with Lilly as a senior, the rest are juniors.)

In the kind of world where we belong by Anonymous There was always something missing. A Lilly Kane sized hole in both their hearts. Instead of going to see Aaron Echolls on October 3rd Lilly decides to comfort a friend and their lives change forever.A very smutty OT3 take on what might have happened if Lilly had lived.

Kid Things by sowell 5 years after graduation, Logan comes back to Neptune to ask Veronica for help.

King of Mars by: HGRising AU. In which everyone has a story to tell but not everyone gets the chance. And, things make more sense from a different perspective. Ever wonder why Veronica Mars was Lilly Kane’s best friend? There’s redemption for some and condemnation for others when the secrets come out. And everyone’s got a good one.

Landmine by AbsolutelyIris It needed to be forgotten, and quick.

The Long Way Home by AbsolutelyIris “We should take the long way home."

Matching Pink Bikinis by Anonymous Veronica and Lilly wear matching pink bikinis to Logan’s for a pool day. This is pure threesome smut, folks.

Pink Lemonade (Logan/Veronica/Lilly) On a trip to Honolulu, Lilly manages to bring Veronica out of her pink, frosty shell. Spoilers/Warnings: This is a threesome fic and therefore includes some femslash.

Playing Hide and Seek With the Truth by: jenwin23 Continuation of the Truth series. The kids go back to school. Old issues remain while more secrets will be revealed, relationships will change and lives will crumble.

The Real Thing by: Josielynn AU. Logan and Lilly are off again/on again. Duncan is dating Meg. Veronica was never friends with Lilly. Logan sees Veronica in her soccer uniform and wants to date her.

Scotch on the Rocks (A FanFic Tribute) by kmd0107 A long time ago…there was an incredibly hot LoVeLy trilogy fic (Pink Lemonade & Sex on the Beach) started over on Live Journal that never got its third part. This is a tribute to what that might have been. Logan POV of the evolving sexual and emotional relationship between himself, Veronica, and Lilly.

Scourging Fire, Blazing Soul by Nerdyesque What if Veronica didn’t grow up with the 09ers, but came into their lives prior to Lilly’s death? How would her presence affect Duncan, Lilly, Logan, the Kanes, and the Echolls? Also, who is Veronica without Keith Mars’ loving protection?

Sex on the Beach (Logan/Veronica/Lilly) NC-17 Lilly’s chapter in my Drinks Series. Nobody wants to talk about what happened in Hawaii, and it’s driving Lilly crazy. How could she possibly make what happened less awkward? By making it happen again, of course!

Some Truths Hurt by: jenwin23 Jumping off point: V gets Duncan’s journal in Echolls’ Family Xmas. AU from there but many canon events happen too. All characters in the VM-verse make an appearance, but it is a LoVe story. In script format-but give it a try, it’s well written.

The Third Kane by: Mac-alicious Lilly, Duncan and Veronica Kane rule the social scene in Neptune. The three are loyal and inseparable. They once believed there was nothing that could come between them. They didn’t count on Logan Echolls.

Time, Make It Go Faster Or Just Rewind by kmd0107 Logan being ‘the real-Logan’ is so familiar that she almost can’t help but give in to it, even if it’s just a one night pass. She’ll embrace this moment out of time and the walls and armor can go back up tomorrow.AU from 1x4 Wrath of Con

Truths Too Big to be Told by: jenwin23 Sequel to Some Truths Hurt. It’s summer time and more than the weather is hot. Neptune is embroiled in class warfare, Veronica is looking into the mystery of another dead girl, the fallout from Lilly’s case continues, and more secrets will be revealed.

I’m also throwing in some of my favorite MaDi (Mac and Dick) fics because Dick needs a hug too.

The ABCs of Mac and Dick by: jenwin23 The ABC challenge with Mac and Dick. Created for Madi lover at VM Santa 2010 at livejournal. Cross-posted. In letter order, not in chronological order.

Bodycount by: BIFF1 Cassidy and Mac meet a little earlier and a little blood-lust gives him an entirely different problem when it comes to forming a real relationship with Mac. AU with MAJOR season two SPOILERS! Mac/Cass, Mac/Dick, Mac/Cass/Dick

Casablancas Kryptonite By: BIFF1 "You just don’t get it. She’s like kryptonite or something.” Dick looked at his brother and thought about those blue eyes that cut and the way her mouth twisted around insults. Yeah maybe she was kyptonite. Casablancas kyptonite because isn’t he just as weak.

Casual? By: BIFF1 It’s just sex. Casual sex. no attachments, just good hot sex. But that was the summer and now school is about to start up again and Veronica’s back from Virginia and can tell that something is up. They can stop, no problem…

The Charm Bracelet by: DalWriter Future Fic. Who Knew Prince Charming Would be Dick Casablancas? Mac reminisces as she looks at a charm bracelet Dick gave her.

Commitment Buffers by: BIFF1 Dick and Mac live with Logan and Veronica in their attempt to have some sort of commitment buffer between them. Only problem with the arrangement is that Mac and Dick tolerate each other at best which is a big improvement as far as their concerned. However living in such close quarters may prove difficult when it becomes obvious that they may actually sort of like each other.

Dark Day by: BIFF1 It’s Cassidy Casablancas’ birthday and the two people closest to him are falling apart. She just wants to hide away from the world for the rest of the week, just drink and cry and be with someone who gets it and no one gets it more than Dick. Not as angsty as it sounds, promise. Now complete with happy ending!

Electrify by: BIFF1 A guilt trip from Logan has landed Dick in a crowded tent with Mac. With a lightening storm raging outside he can’t sleep and it appears neither can she.

Rendezvous by: BIFF1 A collection of one-shots. In which Dick and Mac are forced together by fate or friends and hook up. Because I apparently really like writing them hooking up.

Secret Santa By: BIFF1 Saw this homemade sweater from hell prompt from VMficRec. It’s a November challenge but I couldn’t help myself. Just some fun when Mac pulls Dick’s name for Secret Santa. She figures a six pack and porn until he makes a big deal about not wanting anything handmade. She can’t really help herself, she spends the month knitting Dick a sweater.

One Turn at a Time (a Veronica Mars oneshot)

FFN II AO3

Summary: Logan buys a safe for the apartment and Veronica has questions.

One Turn at a Time

She would have walked right past the box if she hadn't recognized the safemaker label plastered on the side of it. Instead Veronica found herself pausing, already halfway to the second step towards her apartment, but rather than continuing up, she backtracked to bend down and take a closer look at what would have looked like a discarded package to anybody else.

Oh. She knew this version. Fireproof, waterproof, dial combination, and small enough to be tucked away and easily overlooked. It also would fit nicely in an apartment like hers, but she couldn't imagine any of her neighbors having the wherewithal to bother with a safe. "Who do you belong to?" she muttered as she circled the package to look for the delivery label.

Logan Echolls.

Veronica blinked, re-reading her boyfriend's name. Logan had ordered a safe. Interesting. He had a small one that he stored his firearm in. That had come with him when he'd officially moved his things in following Dick selling his previous residence, but as far as she had seen he didn't keep anything else that warranted a locked safe. At least not by his standards. If they ever were robbed the thief could easily bypass her sparse jewelry for his watch and a few other odds and ends that he'd indulged in. The Navy had certainly taught him how to downsize to the essentials, but he was still Logan. The day he stopped enjoying all nice things was the day she started to worry about him.

This particular model was mid-range. As small safes went, it wasn't the most expensive he could have gone with, but it was on the list of safes that she would have recommended if he'd bothered to ask. Which he hadn't. Not that she was going to read into that. Nope. Not her. That didn't mean that she couldn't try to figure out why he'd ordered it, though.

It was compact, with multiple shelves and a warranty, if the worst ever happened and their apartment flooded - not likely as far off the water as they were or the fact that they were three levels up - or caught fire, whatever was hidden away would be safe.

"The neighbors order something awkward from Amazon again?"

Veronica popped up and out of her squat at the sound of Logan's voice behind her, whirling to find him with that lopsided smile of his. He was still dressed in his Navy uniform, cap perched on his head and hands stuffed in the pockets of his khaki slacks. She felt her breath leave her lungs at the sight that she wasn't sure she was ever going to quite get used to. Or wanted to, for that matter. "It's yours, actually," she said as she finally recovered.

He shot her a questioning look and leaned in. She watched his brows dance upward as he took in the name on the box. "Hey, I've been waiting for that."

"Got some high-priced merchandise you need to stash away?" she teased as he leaned down to inspect the weight and gauge his best way to get it upstairs.

"Just the usuals. There was a built-in safe at Dick's place, so I've been meaning to get one here. It should fit in the corner next to the desk. That good?"

"It's your place too," Veronica offered and saw that goofy smile he flashed her any time she referred to the apartment as theirs. It was official. It had been that or he was buying a place of his own. That would have led to your place or mine discussions every night that could easily end in separate sleeping arrangements and she hadn't had any interest in that. They'd spent enough time apart and sooner or later he would be back out in deployment. She wanted him close. Needed him close, and he seemed to feel the same. For two loners they did crave each other's presence. That had to be a good sign, right?

"Veronica?" His voice startled her out of her thoughts and she found him standing with the boxed safe balanced in his arms and a look like she'd been completely zoned out. "You mind grabbing the door?"

"Right," she huffed and dug for her keys. She found them and Logan carefully hauled the safe up the stairs and set it down inside. A few minutes later he was changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, seated on the floor with his long legs crossed and fiddling with the shiny new safe.

Veronica leaned back against the kitchen counter to watch him as he reset the code. "You afraid we're gonna burn the place down?" she teased.

His lips tugged outward a little into a tight smile as he unfolded himself from the floor and started down the hall. "More worried about the Air BnB'ers every spring break," he called out from their room, and when he returned he had a box in his hand that he had brought with him when he had moved in. He re-took his seat and pried the flaps in the box open to start looking through it.

She watched as he started to pull items out that she hadn't known were tucked away there. A photo in a half-melted frame of his mother at a red carpet event and an old, worn letter that had been laminated for protection. He held a lighter that she'd seen following his mother's death between his fingers, flicking the zippo lid up and down, soft brown gaze fixed on it and Veronica felt her lips tilt down. "The fire," she acknowledged softly, realizing why he was so intent on having a way to salvage a few things that he held dear to him and kicking herself for the flippant remarks. She should have realized it before. They didn't talk about it. They had never really talked about it. It wasn't like they'd been on the best of terms as his war with the PCHers had escalated to new and dangerous heights in their senior year of high school. In all the things that they'd discussed over the years, that simply wasn't one of them. She wondered if it should have been.

Logan offered her a small, sheepish smile. "Yeah, I learned my lesson."

Veronica pushed off of the cabinets and took a careful seat next to him. He didn't seem to have a problem with the way she peered into his box of carefully procured keepsakes, but even as she did she felt like she was pushing right up against a boundary. She just wasn't sure if he wasn't enforcing it because he was too focused on the items and memories or if he really was comfortable with her in the middle of it all. Slowly, carefully, Veronica let her finger trace lightly down his wrist and he didn't stop her when she picked up another old photo that showed signs of fire damage. It was the four of them: her, Duncan, Logan, and Lilly. They'd been sophomores that year - save Lilly, a year older than the rest of them - and falling over each other over some inside joke that she couldn't even remember. The camera - whoever had held it - had captured Logan and Veronica sharing a glance between them, amusement evident as their significant others tumbled over themselves. They'd been so young. So carefree. "I had no idea you still had this," she whispered at last.

"One of the few things that survived," he said quietly.

Veronica risked a glance at him, trying to gauge how open he was to talking about this. "Did the fire department let you go in to get what you could after?"

Logan's lips stretched into a thin and mirthless smile. "Let would probably be a stretch. They had the whole thing barricaded off and said it was structurally unsound once they got the fire out."

"So how did you get these?

"I just waited until they'd cleared out and went anyway. No one really cared."

The words struck an old nerve. Didn't care if he went in, didn't care if he got hurt alone in there, didn't care if the house fell on him and crushed him. She knew what he meant and Veronica balanced precariously on the thin line between sympathy and anger. She pulled in a steadying breath and forced the hardness in her tone to soften a bit at the edges, even if they left no room for argument. "People cared. Duncan, me…."

"I didn't exactly make it easy for anybody to want anything to do with me then," he huffed and she reached out, her fingers light on his bicep. He offered a sad, distant smile at the touch.

There was a long moment, then another while Veronica searched for something to say. Every response felt so hollow, as if the only purpose of it was to try to make him feel better - maybe to make her feel a little better too - but no matter how many ways she tried to mentally rearrange the words, they didn't line up with what had happened. At least Duncan had given him a place to live, but neither of them had really checked in to see how Logan was doing. They had been focused on their own lives - the bus crash, everything that had followed with Meg and, yes, a few bitter feelings on Veronica's side left over from hers and Logan's first attempt at a relationship - and Logan had always worn indifference like body armor. Easy to miss unless you knew what to look for.

And she had known. Or at least she should have.

Veronica leaned in, pressing a kiss to his shoulder. "I'm sorry."

"It was a long time ago." He loosed a breath, tilting his head so that it was leaned against the top of her own. "'A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.' Helen Keller."

She snorted a soft laugh. "We've had a lot of bends, haven't we?"

"A lot of hard lessons learned. One turn at a time, right?"

Without pulling away, Veronica found his hand. Her fingers closed around his and his around hers and she heard a soft, content sigh escape him. A smile tugged at her lips and she nestled in. "Just as long as we take the same turns."

He pulled her hand up, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. "Always."

Notes: I went nosing around through some old folders and found a few unfinished LoVe fics for this series. Thought I'd see if the plot bunnies bit again on any of them.
