some people see the revolution

Testing 1.. 2... 3... Yay, crossposting works! I'm be_themoon over on DW too, so yeah. XD I'll be using this lovely crossposting tool I suppose, and I'm considering keeping my fic mostly over here. Why? I don't know. We'll see. XD

I could find Lassiter and Bedlam on here, but I can't remember everyone else's. Anyone with DW, can you drop me a comment with your username so I can add you there please? Thanks muchly!

whynot , thanks for the invite code! In other news, I'm just going to be messing around for the rest of the night, dealing with hopelessly up and down emotions, eating mint chocolate chip ice cream and finishing that ridiculously long HP fic what the heck argh.

Title: Spaces That Need Forgetting
Characters/Pairings: Pevensies, Caspian, Peter-and-Edmund-centric.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Some small images of war.
When: From LWW through to LB.
Summary: Back, and back, and back again, and then home.
Disclaimer: Just a sec, let me check. Nope, still not mine.
Author's Note: katakokk requested Edmund and Peter being snarky and awesome. I... am not at all sure I delivered on that. Used one of
1sentence 's tables (Beta) but didn't necessarily only do one sentence per prompt. 1,330 words. Centered around Peter and Edmund. Title is from Viola Lee's 'Conversations with Objects', which I found through lassiterfics (also found 1sentence through her).

( all these plain objects/that we are slowly leaving behind )

LJ is so QUIET. It is odd and driving me nuts!

Random HP fic is rapidly approaching two thousand words and... well, I don't know. We'll see. I'll send it off for beta-ing tonight probably (marycontraire & torylltales have both offered <333) and then we shall see.

ALSO. APPROPRIATE ICON IS APPROPRIATE. This has been my approximate mood all day. ALL DAAAAAY. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, I think good. Maybe.

I AM OPEN TO CRAZINESS, Y'ALL. SO OPEN.

I've been reading, y'all! It feels nice - I haven't been able to get almost any reading done this year. I read Carpe Jugulum and Monstrous Regiment for the first time and reread Thud! and Night Watch, and I also reread Johnny Tremain and Calico Bush. I kind of really want fanfiction for those last two, guys. REALLY. Also for Monstrous Regiment, because Lofty and Tonker! Awwww. And I sorta love Maladict, because so awesome. Terry Pratchett does vampires right.

In other news, some sort of something is being written, though I'm not really sure what it is. It's HP fanfic, which is distinctly odd for me (I've done one! Once! For a prompt!) and we shall see. Another sort of something is being written that may or may not be Peter and Edmund being snarky and amusing, sometimes through letters. I'm not really sure.

Also, I'm fairly certain I'm going insane. In a pressure-cooked sort of way becuase even with co-op over there's still people everywhere and so little time to myself and I really, really need to be by myself.

I went through my icons, cleared out, added new, etc. Now have 1 each of Mulan, LotR and Avatar, 2 of Merlin, and 5 of Narnia, plus five spaces. I have yet to decide what will go in those, but I think a Galadriel icon is definitely in order. *loves Galadriel*

almostinstinct , I should hopefully have your fic up by tonight. katakokk , yours will probably follow shortly.

Idea in my brain that wants to be written despite me telling it to shut up: Peter meets Eustace. Eustace is overly enthusiastic about how pretty Narnia is, how it was a smashing adventure and all. Peter gives him the 'I will beat you to death with a shovel' look. Shenanigans ensue, possibly.

Started work on the first chapter of Happenstance Harbor 'verse (tentatively titled 'At The First Glimpse of Thunder'). Yay for writing in chronological order and all that!

Title: so many hours in a day
Characters/Pairings: Castiel and Anna, gen
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
When: Sometime after the events in On The Head Of A Pin.
Summary: Anna shows Castiel what fun is.
Disclaimer: You guessed it, not mine.
Author's Note: For darkauthor26 , who requested a Castiel and Anna drabble, friendship or pairing. Title from Billy Joel's Vienna.

Ugh.

You know what I'm trying to do right now? Not drown in life. Write something that isn't fanfiction or crack.

This is proving really really hard.

So! To alleviate my distress, I'm reccing Susan-fics.

Went Forth Unconquered, by gisho 
Susan Pevensie is, in no particular order, an orphan, an atheist, remarkably beautiful, firmly practical, and a Queen. Depending on how the accounting is done, she is either eighteen or fourty-three years old. She is virtuous and kind. She is neither a virgin nor a fool.

If I had to pick only one Susan fic to recommend to someone, this would be it. It's really, really freakishly beautiful. REAAAD.

When All Will Be Forgiven, by peskywhistpaw 
The first time it happens, it is an accident. After that day, the one she never talks about, she takes to walking alone for hours on end. No more parties, no more friends, no more lipstick or fancy clothes. All that remains, and all that life is for Susan Pevensie, is the sound of her own footsteps on the soft ground of the woods.

This one is lovely. I think it could do without the Suspian overtones, but I still enjoy it a lot.

Dreams Are Which I'm Dying Are The Best I've Ever Had, by ineptshieldmaid 
The dreams stop when they come home: for Susan, at least, the dreams stop.

This is short but ever so lovely and sad.

Watched LWW today from the battle to the coronation scene. This mostly involved me flailing wildly and going 'They're so prettty!' or alternatively 'Baaaad Jadis! Stop playing with Peter!' because she so totally was during that fight scene. It was all toying with him, I tell you. Just toying! And then when she saw Aslan she gave it a proper go finally.

Then I moved on to Prince Caspian, which I am now watching. Currently, I'm reduced to just going 'eeeeeee' and 'pretttyyyyyyy'. Or alternatively, when the bad guys are around 'baaaaaad.' Glozelle, on the other hand, I just shake my finger sadly at.

Also? Peter looking up at the ruins of Cair Paravel from the sea? 'My sexy face, let me show it to you.' THIS IS WHAT HE IS THINKING.

AND OMG THE PRETTYYYY. WHY SO PRETTY PEVENVIES?

Edmund as he pulls out sword to duel Trumpkin. 'HECK YES, I HAVEN'T HAD A REAL FIGHT FOR WAY TOO LONG.'

Ahahahaha, Sopespian. I REALLY, REALLY WANT HIM TO MEET EDMUND SOMETIME. Is there fic about this? Because I want to read it. AWESOME POLITICIANS MANIPULATING EACH OTHER AND BEING ALL ULTRA-POLITE AND NICE. "Interesting, isn't it, how so many of those who question Lord Miraz wind up mysteriously disappeared or dead?" Edmund says, toying with his goblet of wine.

"And what would that have to do with me, Lord Edmund?" Sopespian inquires politely. (He totally calls him lord, just to annoy him. But Edmund never gets annoyed. He responds by calling Sopespian just Sopespian. Sopespian seethes.) "I assure you, my support lies wholeheartedly with the rightful king of Narnia."

"And that is where the rub comes in," Edmund says. "Because is Miraz the rightful king of Narnia, or is Caspian?" He tilts his head. "Or are my brother and I?" He sets his goblet down. "So many possibilities, and who to choose," he says quietly, smiling widely. "I think you'll find, Sopespian, that when three kings go against one, the three end up winning, no matter how great the odds."

"Like I said," Sopespian says. "My support is to the rightful king of Narnia." Edmund leans back in his chair in satisfaction.

"I suggest you pick the rightful king of Narnia with great care," he says casually. "There's a reason my family and I held our titles, you know." Shadowmaster, Sopespian thinks, and he breathes in sharply. "Ah," Edmund says. "I see some of our more terrifying titles have survived." He takes another thoughtful sip of his wine. "Honestly, no matter how accurate the title was, I never enjoyed being called Winterheart. Lucy got Stoneheart, that one was much more poetic, really, and just as fiting." Sopespian pales.

OMG TUMNUS' FLUTE THEME PLAYING AS IT LINGERS ON HIS CARVING. *sobs*

... Annnd Mom's home. DANGIT, I WANTED TO WATCH THE REEEST.

I was clearing out some of my email folders, just going through and seeing what's what (I have 567 emails in my folder for ff.net and LJ notifications O.o) and I found a list of 25 prompts from two NaNo's ago (at least, I'm fairly certain that that's what they're from. They really are some very interesting words, the type that are always fun to work with, so I'm posting them here for anyone who wants to look them over. I think I might give them a go. XD

Edmund and a talking willow for katakokk (this is verging on crack, and the characterization is probably off by miles. D:)

Title: uncharted lands
Author: be_themoon 
Characters/Pairings: Draco/Ginny
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Nothing really more hardcore than kissing, a little bit of language.
When: During HP&tDH.
Summary: He's a coward, she doesn't want to be brave.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Author's Note: I am not a shipper of these two, I would like to note. This was done as a result of a prompt, and I did enjoy writing a hypothetical something that could have happened. It wouldn't have lasted, though, and somewhere in my head there is a follow-up that tells how it doesn't last. But it's sad, so I'm not writing it now.
