Fic Year in Review: 2012
It's that time of year again, the time where I wonder how I can write 8 jillion words of a fic and can't write 500 words of original stuff.
Total fics written: 41
Vampire Diaries
She Paints Me Blue: (Alaric/Elena) Outside of Mystic Falls, Elena and Alaric realize what they feel for each other is more than platonic. However, life in Mystic Falls is never far behind, and it's incredibly hard to outrun your past.
And It's Hard To Dance With A Devil on Your Back: (Damon/Elena, Damon/Katherine, Damon/Rebekah) I am done with my graceless heart so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Damon and Elena's Adventures in Dating: (Damon/Elena) For a guy who's approaching his bicentennial, he should really be better at this dating thing. Note: Sequel to And It's Hard to Dance
The Beast They Made of Me: (Rebekah-centric) It was hard, being the only daughter. Warning: incest, sexual abuse
The Ghosts That We Knew: (Elijah/Elena, Elijah/Katherine, Elijah/Tatia) How many times can he watch a woman he loves destroyed?
Those Hard Faced Queens of Misadventure: (Klaus/Rebekah, Klaus/Caroline) Loneliness is a terrible thing.
I Am Going Down (I Am Taking You With Me): (Alaric/Elena) They are both so broken and the lines so blurred, everything which shouldn't happen just keeps happening
Our Road is Long (Your Hold is Strong) : (Damon/Elena) Everyone's self-control has a breaking point.
Game of Thrones/ASOIAF
5 Times Gendry Treated Arya Like a Girl: (Arya/Gendry) Arya Stark is his best friend, and she has never wanted to be treated like a lady. But sometimes Gendry forgets.
I'd Tell You That I Miss You (But I'm Sure It Doesn't Matter At All: (Robb/Jeyne) Jeyne knows what people will accuse her of some day, but she loved Robb Stark with her whole heart.
Tame The Ghosts in My Head: (Jon/Val) This was all supposed to be Robb's, but somehow it has fallen to Jon to be the Stark in Winterfell.
The Wildling Way: (Jon/Val) knife-play, woman on top, just something playing on how Jon seems to like how lethal and dangerous she is.
Maggie and Milly and Molly and May: (Sansa/Gendry) All the women she has been crowd her marriage bed.
Give Me Hope in the Darkness: (Sansa/Gendry) "If the gods are good, she'll forget she was a Stark. She'll wed some burly blacksmith or fat-faced innkeep, fill his house with children, and never need to fear that some knight might come along to smash their heads against a wall."
No Featherbed for Me: (Arya-centric) Arya Stark wanted to be a knight; she wanted to find glory and adventure with Needle in her hand. But that is not an appropriate life for a highborn lady, and that was all Arya of House Stark was allowed to be.
If This was the Cold War, We Could Keep Each Other Warm: (Robb/Sansa) Robb survives the Red Wedding, escaping to the Free Cities with Sansa
Lead Me Not Into Temptation: (Robb/Myrcella) The last thing Robb Stark should do is fall for his boss's teenage daughter, but that's exactly what's happening.
Together We Can See What We Can Find: (Sansa/Quentyn Martell) Quentyn Martell is not exactly the prince Sansa had in mind.
And The Keys to the Kingdom Got Locked Inside the Kingdom: (Robb/Sansa) How do you tell a king to stop sleeping with his sister?
We Stole Our New Lives Through Blood and Pain: (Jaime/Catelyn) His father gives Jaime a choice: pick a queen or one will be picked for him. Jaime says the first name which comes to mind, and, just like that, Catelyn Tully becomes his wife.
You're Not A Good Shot But I'm Worse: (Robb/Sansa) Just because they survived the war doesn't mean the fighting is over.
And All This Devotion I Never Knew At All: (Jon/Sansa) Jon doesn't realize just how much he loves Sansa until their son is born.
Here We Stand: (Robb/Dacey) Dacey Mormont loves her king. That is the problem.
Random Comment Fics: (Multiple Pairings) A collection of responses to comment ficathons
And It Swallows Me Whole: (Robb/Dacey) After a hard fought battle, Robb turns to Dacey to burn off some energy.
The Lies We Tell Ourselves: (Robb/Dacey) The stupidest thing Dacey Mormont ever did was forget that, underneath his armor, Robb Stark is just a teenage boy.
A Pair of Dull Scissors in the Yellow Light: (Robb/Dacey) "And the history books forgot about us, and The Bible didn't mention us, not even once."
Practice Makes Perfect: (Sansa/Jeyne Poole) It's just practice for their future husbands, or, at least, that's what Sansa and Jeyne say it is.
Drag Your Teeth Across My Chest: (Robb/Dacey) In the wake of battle, the King of the North wishes to thank his guard for saving his life.
Your Favorite Year: (Robb/Dacey) The first lesson Robb Stark learns as king is the hardest: kings do not always get what they want.
We're Only Taking Turns Holding This World: (Ned/Cersei) Tywin Lannister promised her she'd be queen; instead Cersei finds herself Lady of Winterfell
Goodbye Means Going Away (And Going Away Means Forgetting): (Rickon-centric) Memory is unreliable. No one understands this better than Rickon Stark.
The Evening Star: (Ashara-centric) Some day people will tell tale of Ashara Dayne, the tragic and beautiful sister of the great Ser Arthur Dayne, who flung herself from the Palestone Sword with a broken heart. They will whisper about the man who dishonored her at Harrenhal, the man who got a bastard on her. But they will never get the story right.
The Slow Dance of the Infinite Stars: (Val-centric) The crow who killed the Halfhand was a pretty thing. She could see why Ygritte liked him even if he was so obviously green. Ygritte told them that the boy stole her, but Val could not imagine him so much as raising his voice, let alone stealing a free woman.
No Featherbed For Me Ficlets: (various) A collection of ficlets set in the same universe as No Featherbed For Me which fill in the blanks from different characters POVs
100 ASOIAF Fairytales (16 Completed): (various) A collection of fills for the 100 Fairy Tales Fic Table
Howling Ghosts They Reappear: (Stark-centric) Ned Stark had six children. His enemies should have remembered that.
I'll Never Wear Your Broken Crown: (Baratheon-centric) No one ever truly thought of them as Baratheons. That's fine. It just makes things easier.
You Can't Break That Which Isn't Yours: (Lannister-centric) In this world, in this family, all they have is each other.
The Boys Keep Swinging, The Girls Keep Bringing: (Martell-centric) On his death bed, they promised their father they'd avenge what has been done to their family. The problem is, they might kill each other in the process.
