“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,”

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.

You know what kind of characters you are the expert on (wink wink) <3

I was just thinking about what old franchise is gonna get revived and I’ll be an insufferable ykwkobti shipper. And it’s narnia. One day, I’m going to be a narnia blog again.

Really! That's so interesting. Did you notice a turn during kinktober though? It felt like AO3 had a ton of kinky stuff during that time period...maybe we're cozying down for winter.

Doing a little season 3 rewatch of Veronica Mars to make sure things line up right in The Backup and oh boy . . .

So many of my lingering complaints immediately resurfaced there's also stuff I had forgotten about (and even some stuff that rewatching is like "oh, they were actually doing a thing") but here's a couple thoughts four episodes in:

The cast is still too jam packed, the years haven't changed my opinion on that, and it makes so many things seem forced or spread thin.

Some of this is things like spending all this time of Dick but (after an initial episode where it seemed like maybe he was going to have some actual character arc following what happened in season 2) just having him be the same old Dick. Some of it is trying so hard to make Piz matter or whatever. Some of it is no one's plotlines actually truly entertwining.

And you can definitely see the fanservicing rounding off of Logan's character happening, but hot damn I forgot I missed him. Like Rose Tyler of Doctor Who, the fannish monomania over the years has made me reflexively flinch from his very name but Logan is so damned compelling. He's so wounded and self loathing, messy, but also somehow still so tender. A victim of so much loss and abuse and he does fucked up shit and Veronica is right not to trust him sometimes, but he's also just such a damned woobie (I have not used that term in so long I almost forgot it) in the way that is so addictive (and destructive because the impulse is always ultimately to lose all the things that actually make that vulnerability interesting in the interests of saccharine perfection.

My boy, Weevil. I weep. I scream. I tear my hair. I dream of Mars, Mars, & Navarro Investigations. He's flawed and he's angry and he makes mistakes, but Eli Navarro is also so smart, dogged, insightful. He hates injustice, drugs, and abuse. He's crazy hyper competent. want someone to figure out the truth, fix the body of your car, get the AC working? He can do any of that with a facility you didn't ask for or expect. (Maybe don't have him take your phone calls though, at least not without some actual training.) And what does he really want? A chance. The opportunity to do something that matters. Someone to look at him and see something of value (because he sure doesn't right now).

Which really should have been the through line of this season and these characters. Logan is terrified of being his dad, of actually trying and failing at college, of being alone. Weevil is trying to keep his head down and get by, but it is humiliating and awful and he wants so much to prove he is more than that. Like both of them, Mac is afraid she's broken, that she can't move past what happened with Cassidy, that she doesn't know how to be close to anyone. Dick should be confronting the fact that what happened with his brother and dad did shake him and he's not impervious. Wallace's half assed plot line about struggling to maintain both school and basketball could have been so much more about the transition from high school and college and worrying that you aren't actually special or good enough. Even Keith is doubting his judgement, as a professional and as a father to a certain extent. And Veronica, Veronica is afraid that she can't move on: can't trust, can't hold on to friendships, can't move past her high school relationship. But I know that the show doesn't actually go there with any of these plotlines, so to speak. It doesn't have time to, nor does it want to.

Last Sentence Tag

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence

I was tagged by @uwusillygirl at just the right time because I literally wrote the cutest thing ever (imo lol)

“You can’t tell a soul, Maxine Marcelline Mayfield!” Max finishes scrabbling after the shock had worn out and she just holds up a fist with her little finger extended. Hellfire’s most sacred of oaths: The Pinky Swear. Eddie takes it after wiping her spit off of his palm and they shake, once and solemnly.

Okay so that was 4 sentences, but you get the idea haha.

I wanna tag @nuclearnik, @agentmmayy, @lodessa and @affidecrystal

There! Four people for four sentences ehehe :)

WIP name game, tagged by @pixiedane (thank you, by the way, I have been thinking I needed an excuse to do something in this vein).

I have SO MANY works in progress if you take a look in my google drive(s) so I am going to focus on multichaptered fics I started posting but haven't finished yet (since I loosely made a goal to complete at least one of them this year . . . though no promise that any of these will be the first thing posted in this year):

The Backup - I have posted 3 chapters and written a good chunk of chapter 4 of this canon divergence Veronica Mars fic but I am having some pacing issues even though I know where I want to end up (again why do I insist on trying to have plot that is important instead of just focusing on relationship stuff I am so bad at it) and when I actually did my season 3 rewatch for this, I ended up realizing I wanted to move the timeline around a bit (as in the canon divergence should have real consequences not just for Veronica's personal relationships but also the season's multiple ongoing mysteries) so I feel like the whole outline needs to be reworked before I can move forward.

k'war'ma'khon - I have 6 chapters posted so far of my Georgiou lives and is caught up on the middle of the house of Sarek drama some more Star Trek: Discovery fic. The original outline called for 9 chapters but we are looking at 13 based on the changes I have already made along the way (I know I have a revised outline somewhere but not where that is). Honestly I got stuck because next chapter which is at the heart/center of the fic is from Sarek's point of view which was intimidating.

Dragon Marked - I have written and posted 8 chapters of this Dany/Jorah fic but we are still in the rising action of what is an epic sized story that will majorly blow my previous longest fic of 14 chapters out of the water in terms of length when finished. I really need to find my outline because there is a lot of plot/worldbuilding that needs to be implemented and at this point my memory of what I had planned is fuzzy in places. I guess that's what happens when you tie your soulmark trope in with reincarnation, modern au, grand conspiracies, science as magic, and a large cast of characters.

I may post about some of my other unpublished in progress works as well but I think that is enough for this post.

I have two exchange fics I'm working on, for Reylo and for SVU

I have many, many, many IIPs ("ideas in progress") as you can see at this link. I am recovering from the holidays and a cold and have been doing more reading than writing over the last couple weeks but I'm getting back to it. My job remains super busy so I will be slow but I promise I'm working on things!

Last Sentence Tag

Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

I was tagged by lodessa.

I'll cheat a little and post the last sentence of each NaNo fic I worked on:

Anna/Bates

#1: And there are so many more to come.

#2: The future beckoned, and with Anna in his arms, it had never looked more beautiful.

#3: And he found he couldn't breathe.

#4: "Christ, he's perfect."

Suki/Eve

#1: Stacey clears her throat, stepping further into the room.

#2: And as much as Suki had tried to tell herself that she didn’t like the other woman, that she thought she was a waste of space and energy, there was still something about her that kept drawing her in, that kept her coming back to butt heads with her over and over again.

#3: The exhaustion lives in her very bones, a heavy lethargy that fogs her mind, weighs down her limbs, makes her feel as if she’s living in a glass house away from the rest of the world.

#4: The rematch between Martin and Ben is a much more intense affair.

#5: "I don’t wake every day having to pretend that a part of me doesn’t exist."

#6: Suki has no complaints whatsoever.

#7: She would never come under any kind of scrutiny for walking down the street hand-in-hand with Billy.

#8: “I think I can stretch to that."

#9: But there’s something off about him today.

Daenerys/Jorah

#1: They are both free of armour, laid bare and vulnerable in front of each other in a way that metaphorically they have been for years, this now the physical representation of all that they’ve suffered through to be  here, and she is happier than she had ever thought she could be.

#2: “The opulent parties, the standing to one side and watching everyone dance…”
