And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned to a pillar of salt. So it goes. People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore. I’ve finished my war book now. The next one I write is going to be fun. This one is a failure, and had to be, since it was written by a pillar of salt.

Sticky Post: Fic Master List

Fic Master List

Fics are listed in chronological order, oldest fics at the top of each category. That means the better fics are probably at the bottom. Not always the case, but a good rule to go by.

This also has links to my original writing, which is over at [livejournal.com profile] andthensecede.

The 100 - Living Proof

living proof. the 100. clarke. clarke/bellamy. post-2x04.

They’ve been here for long enough to almost get used to the acid fogs and the night watches and the strange, tough meat of the Earth, but she’s never going to get used to the absence of machine hums. She prefers this, of course, the ability to hear far beyond the confines of anything. She doesn’t have confines anymore.

The Hunger Games — The Softest Bullet Ever Shot (2/2)

The Softest Bullet Ever Shot (2/2)
The Hunger Games. Katniss. Katniss/Gale, Katniss/Peeta.
Catching Fire AU: For the 75th hunger games, tributes will be reaped from the ages of 18 to 25.
Note: All the thanks in the world to Statler, who has some sort of editing witchcraft we should bottle and sell to science. Title is from The Flaming Lips' "The Spark That Bled (The Softest Bullet Ever Shot)". Also, as a trigger warning, there is one particular reference of Katniss scratching herself up (unconsciously, but), and one scene where she has a nightmare and scratches up a table, so her hands bleed quite a bit. If these could be triggering for you, I am happy to pass along an alternative copy of this fic with those scenes edited out. Just let me know.

“I’ll burn them to the ground,” she finds herself saying, albeit without an ounce of fire in her. It’s just a cold dead fact in the world. They are going to take Gale from her and she’ll put an arrow through Snow’s throat for it.

the hunger games -- none of us are going back

i need to stop writing fics about bad YA novels instead of researching bangladesh.

none of us are going back
the hunger games. katniss. katniss/gale, katniss/peeta, katniss/character resolution. ot3 times.
post-mockingjay, up to, through, and after the epilogue. for this prompt at the THG comment ficathon. it may have spiraled out of control.
Katniss still sees Gale on TV. Sometimes she wishes he were dead. She knows what to do with the dead.

the hunger games -- come and find me lying in the bed i made

come and find me lying in the bed i made
katniss' mom. before, through and immediately post-the hunger games (book)
featuring many, many textual liberties. title from anaïs mitchell's Flowers (Eurydice's Song). for the THG comment ficathon, but I realized I made a couple errors after people had commented, so immediate repost it is.
Katniss scolds her and tells her to keep it together. Katniss has never been the forgiving sort. Or maybe Penelope has just never deserved it.

gossip girl - a strange fate with wandering limbs (2/2)

a strange fate with wandering limbs (2/2)
Gossip Girl. Dan. Dan/Blair. Rated R.
“You have a very heteronormative notion of intercourse, you know,” he says, pulling down her stockings anyway. | Miscommunications, make-outs, and the first thirty-three days of dating Blair Waldorf.
Notes: Post-5x17 with very, very loose speculation based on the promo for 5x18. Will inevitably be AU once the episode airs. This is also the most collaborative project to ever, and would have been absolutely impossible without the help of [livejournal.com profile] aragons, [livejournal.com profile] miss_mishi, and [livejournal.com profile] jeynebesterling. Title from Kimbra's "Wandering Limbs"

Mix - Gossip Girl - Oh, Boy (Dan/Blair)



Oh, Boy

Notes: This mix has two parts. Up through track four is Dan's perspective leading up to around Crazy Cupid Love-ish and the following four are Blair's point of view from Cross Rhodes on. And lest anyone tell you fandom is not a social activity, this was not possible with much collaboration from [livejournal.com profile] aragons and many textures from Natasha, to whom I am most grateful. Hope you all enjoy!

Mix - Gossip Girl - My Love is Priceless (Blair Waldorf)




my love is priceless

Please note: This is the antithesis of a Chuck/Blair mix. Rather, it's what happens when Blair Waldorf decides she deserves better than this.

Fringe -- Crane Your Neck

i am unsure on the title as per usual, so let me know your thoughts. :)

Crane Your Neck
Fringe. Olivia. Lincoln/Olivia. Spoilers through 4x07, "Wallflower". This is (very, very) loosely based on speculation from the 4x08 promos. Title from Lady Lamb the Beekeeper's "Crane Your Neck."
Rated R. Many thanks to @agentfrancis on tumblr for the beta. All remaining mistakes are mine.
Olivia has other things to worry about, like the way Lincoln has his fingers perched just at the edge of the table, leaving prints. Olivia notices these things, of course. She likes evidence.

Fringe Icons

A (very) small icon batch, mostly Lincoln and/or Olivia. I know, I know, try not to faint.

I am going to make a post about all these feels I have at some point when I'm not too busy procrastinating on my homework.
