Dear iTunes: Yes, I understand that you love "The Christians and the Pagans." I love it too. But it's JUNE, and you've played (or tried to play) it every day for the last four days. Furthermore, I have two different versions of it, and I can tell that it is the same version every time.
Now that I think about it, you also played "End of the Summer" today. Are you trying to tell me something, Dar Williams and iTunes? Am I in the wrong season somehow? Should I be traveling to the southern hemisphere?
Hmm, I do have a lot of friends Down Under... and in New Zealand...
(Post title is irrelevant. I've just really been wanting to quote that somewhere.)
ETA: Now it's playing S. J. Tucker's "Cold Sunshine." I don't know what it's trying to tell me, but I don't think I'm supposed to deal with summer...

Notes: When I saw thestayintheroom propmt, I honestly thought this story was going to be about Ivy--and it is, but it's more about Charlotte. Also, I don't play video games and it occurred to me after I wrote it that Grand Theft Auto is probably not multiplayer. But it delights me to think of Angel and Laura playing a violent video game together.
“And furthermore,” Ivy said, “if you believe the theory about the butterfly, you understand that there’s really no point in worrying about your actions. The butterfly didn’t know it was causing the hurricane—it never even knew anything about the hurricane it caused, since it was so far away. You can’t control what consequences your actions will have. All you can do is try to survive however you can. If that butterfly hadn’t flapped its wings at that time, it would have fallen to the ground and been trampled or eaten. It didn’t have any choice anyway.”( Read more... )

World: Moonsisters
Word count: 2,968
Rating: hard R
Warnings: (skip) Multiple murders, sociopathic POV character, attempted rape, animal abuse.
Prompt:rainbowfic Caput Mortuum 4, Livor mortis; Moonlight 19, Sidereal; Antique Brass 17, There is no reality in which I would live in South Dakota.; novelty beads "We deserve beauty, love, respect, admiration, kindness and compassion. If we don't get it, there will be hell to pay." -- Margaret Cho; dailyprompt "death and rebirth"; darkfantasybingo sacrifice
Notes: Notes: Funny story about this character. I distinctly recall naming her after someone my friends and I hated when I was writing at least one version of the Moonsisters. However, I can't recall a single thing about this person we hated other than that her name was Maureen. I asked my best friend about it a few days ago, and she didn't remember anything, either (![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
d_generate_girl, any recollection?). So I guess she didn't make that much of an impression! Hopefully this incarnation of Maureen is a more interesting villain than just someone to name after someone I hate; she's certainly more three-dimensional and way scarier after this story.
Maureen heard the sounds. She always said she’d heard nothing, suspected nothing, but she did. She heard it and she knew what it was. She was only twelve years old and she wasn’t supposed to watch television, but she’d heard those sounds enough times in her dreams.( Read more... )

Warehouse 13/NCIS: Good Advice
May. 27th, 2013 06:27 pmTitle: Good Advice (AO3)
Rating: G
Characters: Helena "H. G." Wells, Jimmy Palmer, Breena Slater
Prompt:intoabar: Helena Wells walks into a bar and meets... Jimmy Palmer!
Summary: Helena is worried about Artie; she meets a guy who turns out to be a good listener.
Author's Notes: This is set during the first half of season 4 of Warehouse 13 and after season 9 of NCIS. Contains some spoilers. The entire fic is from H. G.'s perspective, so canon knowledge of NCIS is not necessary. Includes Jimmy's relationship with Breena and H. G.'s with Myka, but neither is the focus of the fic.
Helena walked down the street with a sigh. Sometimes artifact hunting was a chore, a drag, a pain. No wonder the Warehouse agents usually did their hunting only when there were sightings; with no clues to go on, no one apparently using the artifact to do strange things, there was nothing to do but search out obscure mentions from minor writings, and comb the world.
It wasn’t as though she was in a hurry at the moment, though. In fact, she rather had a feeling that she shouldn’t hurry, should take as long as she could manage to find this particular dagger. True, Artie had asked her particularly, and she felt a peculiar loyalty to the crotchety, brilliant man who had so recently completely turned around in her opinion of her. But there was something odd about the request, and she wanted to turn it around in her mind some more.( Read more... )

Notes: I think Charlotte's got it right. (I wonder if people will be able to tell what this comment is referring to.)
Angel dreams.
Four moons on the horizon. She can only see three, but she knows there is a fourth, in that logic that explains things in dreams. They are in the same place, and they are in a line, and they are circling each other, endlessly, endlessly.
Waxing crescent. Waning crescent. Full. Dark.
The moons come toward them. Her, and the three others by her side. (They are in the same place, and they are in a line, and they are circling each other, endlessly, endlessly.) The moons descend on them. The full moon descends on Angel, rests upon her head, falls into her, filling her with silver light.( Read more... )

New Novelette Ebook
May. 8th, 2013 05:36 pmI have published another ebook! It's called Golden Hearts, and it's a dystopian fantasy lesbian love story. (I previously posted a less-edited version locked on this journal as "Heart to Heart.")
It's $2.99, or the approximate equivalent in other currencies, and is available at these fine retailers:
Amazon US Amazon UK Smashwords B&N Kobo iBooks
(Also, all of the other Amazon stores and theoretically the places that Smashwords distributes to. But Smashwords is slow.)

World: Moonsisters
Word count: 333
Rating: PG-13 for gross dead thing
Prompt:rainbowfic Caput Mortuum 6, Putrefaction
Notes: I was looking for something on my mom's computer today and found a lot of my old files from high school and earlier (which I proceeded to email myself and then delete from her computer, because why does she need those?). I rediscovered this series, which I worked on a lot, even though I only finished a few stories. I remembered how much I loved them and decided to write about them again. This time I'll probably make them high school or college students instead of eighth graders, and make their nemesis less stupid. And their significant others: also less stupid.
Anyway, this piece is mostly just an exercise in characterization. I'm kind of pleased that I managed to remember all their names and a little bit about their personalities without actually having read through my old notes and stories. I definitely plan to post more, including stuff that explains why they're called the Moonsisters.
Angel wiped at her face with the back of one hand. “What could have done this?” she whispered in a choked voice.( Read more... )

Rating: FRT/PG-13
Characters: Christie McCawley/Alak Tarr
Summary: Christie and Alak: behind the scenes.
Author's Notes: So I've fallen in love with a new fandom :D Don't have any icons for it yet. Hmm.
Christie didn’t mean for it to happen.
It wasn’t just that he was an entirely different species. It wasn’t just that her father hated his father. It wasn’t just that being the mother to her own family made her loyal, not interested in being part of anyone else’s.
It was that everything was uncertain now—and had been for all of her life. All of both of their lives. The Arks were still falling. There were hellbugs outside Defiance, hundreds of unpredictable people inside it. If you tried to go anywhere else you’d run into crazy terraformed land. If you stayed inside there were diseases, accidents…
It was a bad time to fall in love.( Read more... )
