#the MG

[larkral]

Happy Wednesday!

Okay! mechanic!Simon (one of my CORB pieces) has been getting a good amount of my attention this week, as has a new fic I'm writing for In Other Lands. So, have some snippets of both of those.

mechanic!Simon:

It's a good job, too. Except that sometimes you see a car that makes you want to scream. Like today, some posh git brought in an MG, forest green, soft top. Lovely original paint that's clearly been sitting out in a carpark somewhere for years just being rained on. And that's not the worst of it. Because this car must have been running on wishes and good luck for at least six thousand miles. When I asked the bloke where they'd been having it looked after, he said: "Honestly I don't know if Fiona ever brought it into a shop." I held out hope. Perhaps Fiona was his senile gran. Perhaps Fiona couldn't remember where she'd taken it, or didn't keep the papers, or her friendly neighbor cleaned the spark plugs and injectors and topped up the coolant and the engine oil.  Then I opened the bonnet.

And a fic for In Other Lands which I cannot reveal the working title of because it will RUIN the SURPRISE.

Which is fair, if inconvenient. It's all made up, after all. There is no immutable line beyond which Golden's virtue has been destroyed and before which it's intact. The idea is demeaning and idiotic and… "Unicorns," Elliot says. Serene's eerie stillness was the only indication that she was taking a moment to catch up. "Surely unicorns have been used as a purity test before. Just have Golden stand near a unicorn sometime before your wedding and boom, virtue verified. This is genius, actually, why haven't elves been doing that for ages?" "It was primarily the gorings that sent the practice out of fashion," Golden remarked, entering their conversation from behind.  "Hmm," Serene agreed, taking the hand Golden rested on her shoulder in the tender cup of her palm. "Likely."

This is already very long, so low pressure tags below the cut. :)

Thanks for the tags to @artsyunderstudy @cutestkilla @wellbelesbian @angelsfalling16 @youarenevertooold @cosmicalart I am so delighted that so many folks are jumping back into the fray. I am too!! Y'all are writing such fascinating stuff, I cannot wait to read *all of it*.

i was telling my roommate about how the first girl i ever had a crush on in high school was really into homestuck, which made me read all of it to impress her. and how, even though we never became more than acquaintances, reading homestuck caused a ripple effect that changed the trajectory of my life forever. and my roommate. my roommate just looks at me and goes “revolver ocelot behavior.” how the fuck do i recover from this
