Forgot to include this in my last post: I've been getting a bunch of comments on my Ted/Booster long fic, so I thought maybe there was new canon for them. After realising that most of my old resource sites have changed since I was last in comics fandom, I turned up that DC doesn't seem to have done any major comics with either character in about ten years. I feel like DCEU (and maybe even James Gunn) teased a Booster Gold TV show a couple times? And Ted was in the Blue Beetle movie that immediately got made non canonical. But nothing recently.

Then I reread the long fic (I'm doing school work, I swear!), and remembered how much I loved my stupid boys, and also how rushed that fic was, and that it maybe needed another editing pass or five. Oh well. Heady days of early fandom love and tight exchange deadlines.

Democracy Now: Black Liberation Activist Assata Shakur, 78, Dies in Cuba After Decades in Exile.

I'm grateful for all the work she did, and all the people she inspired. I'm sorry she never got to go home. I don't know what she believed about death, but I hope she's home now.

I've been engaging in fandom very little, but here's a couple things I really loved:

The Tailor by

SoHeresDaThing
Fandom: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Ben Grimm/Female Reader)
Word Count: WIP (34k and counting).
Rating: Mature
Summary: You were just a tailor. A nobody. An old friend of Sue's from college she happened to remember before her wedding. You'd helped her then, gotten them all fitted before the big day. That was... before everything. Now they were different. Now the world saw them different. And still, after it all, Sue's calling you again to come help her friend.
Notes: This is a WIP, but the author is updating regularly, so I think she's good for it. It's also readerfic, and if that's not your thing... maybe give it a try? There's no Y/N stuff, and the reader is more of a fully realised OFC than the ephemeral readers you get for say tumblr prompt fills, so this is basically a romance novel in second person. There's a plot and everything. The relationship is really sweet, and there's both lovely angst and a cool look at the team's life before the film.

As It Was by

GlendyLucast
Fandom: The Pacific (Andy/Eddie)
Word Count: ART!
Rating: NSFW
Summary: A mini comic inspired by Hozier "As It Was" featuring my favorite pair from The Pacific.
Notes: I don't know the song, but this art is really really beautiful, and really really sad. Bang on for this pairing. Love it! (Apparently this got their tumblr banned, so it'd be extra nice to send them some love on AO3.)

Is anyone else really enjoying the Deluxe* edition of Miley Cyrus' Something Beautiful? It's so 1980s and off kilter, like someone spun a Madonna album into slightly abstract electronica with a bunch of spoken word, but also kept some of the pop hits. Pitchfork complained that it's a "concept album without a concept" which is fair, but might also be why I like it so much.

The pop queens being into the 1980s is working for me, generally. We're getting it from Miley, Sabrina and Doja Cat this year, that I can think of off the top of my head.

RAYE's ramping up for a second album, and I don't know what to think. I love everything she does, of course, but there's no way she can/should try for the intensity of My 21st-Century Blues, and the singles so far seem like it's going to be more jazzy.

* I'm so tired of deluxe editions. This is why no one buys music anymore! You just roll out an album, and then days/weeks/months later there's the same album again but with more songs on it. What's the point? If you have more songs, and can't wait for the next album cycle, put out a fucking EP! It's not quite as obnoxious as the Album Part 1/Full Album Later thing, but it's still very annoying to me. I'm not blaming the artists, though, as I assume it's B.S. from the label.

Me: I'm trying to manifest more time to read non-school stuff by getting novels from the library.
Brother: Is that working?
Me: No. Now I just have a pile of library books.

I was really excited for the new season of Peacemaker, then haven't been watching it. Or anything else.

Done somewhat belatedly, see card #3.

Reading as usual from

TheWitchOfTheForest: Mabon & Ostara (Someone still needs to talk to her about her special fonts, but oh well.)

1. What needs to be harvested in my life right now?
Six of Swords (Oh. Wow. Okay.)

2. How do I welcome and sustain more balance in my life?
Two of Pentacles (I mean... yeah. Fuck you, deck.)

3. What areas of my life need more balance?
Page of Pentacles (I'M AWARE!)

4. What good will emerge from the darkness?
The Moon (Oh. That's really beautiful.)

5. How can I continue to grow in the dark half of the year?
Three of Swords (And now I'm going to go cry.)

Characters: Ray Vecchio, Stella Vecchio (formerly Stella Kowalski) mentioned, Benton Fraser mentioned, Ray Kowalski implied

Summary: On Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 11:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time nearly everyone in the world lost consciousness for two minutes and seventeen seconds during which time most saw a vision – a “flash forward” – of their lives six months into the future: April 29, 2010 at 10:00 PM PDT. Some people, however, merely lost consciousness without experiencing a vision…people who were then presumed to be fated to die by April 29, 2010.

AN: Written for both Ray Vecchio Day and for the dSC6D snippets comm on DW.

Fic on AO3.

Current Mood: feel like saying hooray
Current Location: near the lake they call Michigan

books
Pawn in Frankincense (The Lymond Chronicles #4) by Dorothy Dunnett. 1969. cw: graphic violence, child abuse and murder, slavery, animal harm and death, going cold turkey off opium. Quite the adventure drama.

The Summer War by Naomi Novik. 2025. Novella. Would have made a pretty amazing novel, tbh. I loved the first 2/3rds, though I wish, as always with NN, that there had been more to the ending. I hope YT brings some fic for it.

yarning & etsy & usps

I went to yarn group Sunday and had a good time. Also, I cut my hair right before yarn group and I got nice comments on it, so that was extra happy-making. Then I showed off pics of my soccer ball-sized globe (and complained about the pattern not giving accurate Mediterranean or Australia, doh). Also worked on a navy blue kickbunny, which sold Monday afternoon right after I got back from the post office, where I was shipping a tan kickbunny to a customer, a blue bunny to Kitten Academy, and the globe to Niece, along with a moon and a bday card with a bright happy sun on it, so it was all of a theme. But dear god the increase in USPS prices! Nearly $3 more, and (since they moved to PA) KA isn't even as far! At least one was a business expense and another was prepaid by the customer. (This is why I don't offer free shipping on kickbunnies.) Anyway, I'm working on a turquoise kickbunny now and feeling super grateful that my shoulder is functional again. Knock wood.

Here is the link to the Noms Coordination Station. And here is the Noms Spreadsheet, where you can skim fandoms to see what's been nommed while we wait for the tagset to open. I replaced my nom for Katee Roberts' Dark Olympus series with Shakespeare & Jacobean Theatre RPF bc Will/Kit(/Annie) still owns my heart. And I changed my character noms for The Shadow of the Leviathan series by Robert Jackson Bennett. Noms close in the wee hours of Friday, US time. I still have no idea what I want to offer/request, but at least I've done my nominations?

Haven't done this one in a while. Following AO3, not the drabbles/ficlets only posted to DW. Also haven't written in a while, so most of these are a few years old.

Share the first and last lines of the last five stories you have posted to AO3.

The Fire and the Ember, Masters of the Air, Marge/Peggy

First: They didn't really need to climb in through Marge's bedroom window, it wasn't like her parents didn't know that Peggy was spending the weekend, but it was tradition at this point.

Last: She pressed her nose against the back of Marge's neck, and did just that.

A Fire in Arkansas, Band of Brothers, Johnny/Bull

First: Johnny figured that the old saw "smooth runs the water where the brook is deep" had been invented by someone who'd known Bull Randleman, but even he didn't expect what his corporal said as they sat in a meagre pool of shade half a mile out of Helena, Arkansas.

Last: He clapped Bull on the arm, Bull shoved him back, and they jogged forward towards the rising sun.

Natasha's Christmas Plans, Top Gun: Maverick, Natasha/Callie

First: "So here's the plan," Natasha said as she closed the hatch to the stateroom she shared with Callie.

Last: First chance she got, she was going to find some plastic mistletoe to tape to the bottom of her bunk, but for now they didn't need it.

Across the Waves, Across the Heather, Kidnapped! by RLS, Davie/Alan

First: Alan landed on the deck of the Covenant breathless and reeling, all those good men dead, and nearly himself as well.

Last: "Oh, I could kiss you!" Alan cried, and then did.

Every Time He Hears Their Voices (An End of the Affair Remix), Band of Brothers, Don/Skip/Alex

First: This is the moment Don has lived in since the tenth of January 1945: He's tucked back away from the line, catching a few minutes rest as he tries to choke down beans that half froze the instant Joe Domingo ladled them onto his plate.

Last: This is what does: all of the days after.

I'm a proud born-and-bred Illinoisan, a State where there is so much opposition to the Orange-Tinged Dictator. A number of you may know of the ways that my State's Governor -- JB Pritzker -- stands against the Dictator. A number of you may know that Illinois was the very first State to pass legislation opposing book bans in libraries. A number of you may be aware of the Dictator's recent direct threats of war against Chicago with his AI-generated image of Chicago in flames and his "Apocalypse Now" references. A number of you may already have seen Illinois Senator Karina Villa confronting ICE agents and telling them "This is my city. Get out of my city...." but I want to make sure that she gets seen and hopefully this video gets spread.

"Beatitudes for a Queerer Church" by Jay Hulme

Blessed are the outcasts;
the ostracized, the outsiders.

Blessed are the scared;
the scarred, the silent.

Blessed are the broken;
for they are not broken.

Blessed are the hated;
for they are not worthy of hate.

Blessed are those who try;
those who transform, who transition.

Blessed are the closeted;
God sees you shine anyway.

Blessed are the queers;
who love creation enough to live the truth of it,
despite a world that tells them they cannot.

And blessed are those
who believe themselves unworthy of blessing;
what inconceivable wonders you hold.

September 21 is considered to be Ray Vecchio's birthday and is celebrated annually by due South fandom as "Ray Vecchio Day". This is a day to show RayV some love by posting a RayV-centric fanwork or meta or recs related to Ray Vecchio or David Marciano (tag it as being for Ray Vecchio Day 2025).

Posting to the collection is now open at Ray Vecchio Day 2025 Collection on AO3 and a master list will be assembled on September 28th.

Content notes for suicide, self harm and grooming, on this one. I'd seen reference to this story, but hadn't realised how bad it was.

sage

books
still reading Pawn in Frankincense by Dorothy Dunnett. I haven't had the time to really focus on it, so I've been reading Kirk/Spock longfic.

yarning
I finished the crocheted globe for Niece and it looks pretty good. Definitely good enough for a child turning 5, though it's a little unevenly stuffed in a couple of places & I can't get it to shift. Am sad I had to miss yarn group this week, but yesterday I made a 3in diameter moon to go with the Earth. Hopefully it'll all fit in the box.

Yuletide
I nommed:
- The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. (Amina, Dalila, Raksh, and Jamal)
- Shadow of the Leviathan by Robert Jackson Bennett (Ana, Din, Kepheus)
- A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher (Cordelia, Hester, Richard, Penelope)
- Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher (Anja, Snow, Grayling)
- Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert (Icarus, Poseidon, Hades, Penelope)

sadly, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures and Rivers of London both look too large to nom this year, if I'm gauging them right. Drat!

Rating: Explicit

Summary: When Steve agreed to meet Tony at the mansion to talk, he never imagined that Tony would abandon Registration and join him. He never imagined that Tony would end up in bed with him, either.

Hi, Dreamwidth! I know I have not been around in a while -- I have been having a lot of migraines -- but, here, I finally finished a story for the Dodged A Bullet 616 Steve/Tony Civil War exchange. This was not actually the story I intended to write, because I did not finish that one -- once again, I have been having a lot of migraines -- but I did finish this one. Not the other one, so my WIP pile is at a net zero, but I tried.
