ghosts under rocks;
i just found an ant crawling on my arm. it took a moment for me to realize that it was an ant and when i did, i gave it a little talking to about it really shouldn't be there and apologized before i squished it. i then realized IT IS NEVER ONLY JUST ONE ANT and now am paranoid that somewhere in my apartment there is a legion of them now decrying ( Read more... ) -
these sorts of things don't "just happen";
Right. So.
I wasn't going to actually post about this, even though I've been following this since the night before when somebody on my flist (unnamed out of respect to them) linked me to this post on journalfen which began tracking the whole discussion/wank/i'm-not-sure-what-you'd-call-it. what began in bandom as an exchange over whether or not ( Read more... ) -
fic // through being cool (young avengers, billy/teddy)
Title: through being cool (ficmeme!prompt)
Fandom: Young Avengers (Billy/Teddy)
Rating: PG
Words: 1359
Notes: for atti and riko. written originally as a response to Billy's capetastic stroll through suburban New Jersey, it never got finished until atti prompted this on the B/T PDA ficmeme. it kind of works. apologies to devo for stealing the title.
( If there’s one thing Teddy knows about it - it’s how to be cool. Or at least, how to pretend to be cool. Turns out there’s a huge difference after the fact, but only if they catch you pretending. ) -

image of the day // 001.

fic // the Days and Nights of Martin Ulrich (Young Avengers, Billy/Teddy)
This year I participated in Yuletide for the sake of spreading a little holiday cheer all up in this house. I volunteered to write a bunch of fandoms -- Young Avengers, Lucifer, Brick, Band of Brothers, American Gods, Runaways, and a few others I can't remember -- in the hopes of bringing a present to some random person in the hopes of making their ( Read more... ) -
fa la la la la, la la. la. LA. (the rec version)
Okay, so this year I decided to repeat two (three?) years ago when I tossed my hat into the ring to participate in Yuldetide. it was -- admittedly -- kind of a rough ride, BUT NOW IT IS OVER, hurray! I haven't gone all official and started to work my way down the list, but I was a very lucky camper and not only got a good story, but people also ( Read more... )
