“And then they crawled into bed and held hands until they fell asleep.”
You don’t think that could have worked? Of course now I have a photo in the mood board that actually belongs to the next chapter. On the other hand it also means I could look for a bunch more naked boy pictures and make a new mood board… silver linings…
Day 5: In
your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you didn’t
create.Today’s theme is: ~Royalty AUs~
The Student Prince by
FayJay | Merlin | Arthur/Merlin | Mature | 145,222 words | I’ve only ever seen
about half a Merlin ep, so I’m sure there’s stuff I can’t fully
appreciate about this modern AU where Merlin and Arthur are roommates at
university, and that’s probably a good thing because this fic’s already so
fantastic just thinking about it sends me into a swoon. Every character is my
favorite, and the setting’s so real it’s like you’re actually there. And hey,
look at this: FayJay
even made a podfic of it.strive seek find yield by waldorph | Star Trek Reboot | Kirk/Spock | Explicit | 68,199 words | Spock and
Jim are princes who fall in love and decide to get married and also fight
Klingons. Spock’s human side is a little more developed in this AU, and while I
always notice it, I still can’t tell how I feel about it except for the fact it
works. He’s still Spock, just a little more open. Still wound super-tight
though. Because he’s Spock. Jim is Jim, even as Prince of America, and there are
tons of great supporting characters, and a war, but it’s mostly about Jim and
Spock and how they love each other so, so much. Podfic by ofsevenseas, that
link takes you to a locked AO3 entry, but the files are hosted, unlocked, at the
audiofic archive.Ever After by
beederiffic | Pinto | NC-17 | 44,000 words | This one’s tricky because it’s
friends-locked on LJ, and I don’t know how active beederiffic is these days, but
when I friended them a few years ago, I got friended back quickly and was able
to read this, so it’s worth a try. Chris and Zach are medievalish princes
contemplating marriage for the good of their kingdoms, but then Zach gets beset
by bandits and must be nursed back to health! And if you can’t get to this and
I’ve just ruined your whole day, I can offer you SuedeScripture’s The Princess Diaries (And
Me), a modern day royalty AU RPF mashup of The Princess Diaries
and The Prince & Me. It’s a wip, but it’s almost done, and it’s really great.

I LOL’d for reals.
I know, right? I caught that one. You have to catch the others.
They settled into the back of the car, Zach threading fingers through Chris’ and leaning into the headrest, cloning his eyes.

You don’t suck. The way we orbit the sun sucks.
That’s right! Cursed gravity and how it…causes planetary orbits… (mutters indistinctly)
I still can’t help compare myself to @rabidchild67, who managed to write about 12 holidays over the course of a year, whereas I barely managed to write about one (still love that story).
Still New Year’s Day…and you know what that means. Maybe I’ll send you the link to the 4k words I have so far so you can let me know if the level (lack) of detail is overly annoying.
I can see the android leglessness, ato, and I don’t like it either. I don’t like it at all.
IKR? It leads to all sorts of uncomfortable questions. Like gravity?
seepunkrun replied to your post “Just so you know, I still occasionally stumble under the weight of my…”
me too
😦
I’m sure you’ll be done with Cleaving by next Christmas. *g* And if you want me, I’d be happy to beta Home for you, too!
I always want you, my dear!
You mean someday I’ll be done with Cleaving? (Just kidding…my goal is around xmas…we’ll see).
Honestly I don’t know. A few months back I was asked about stories lost in the void...things I have abandoned or have been thinking about but not written. What I should probably do next is finish Home. After that post, I had someone volunteer as beta, and read Home plus what I’d written so far to finish it. Assuming she’s still interested, I should do that. There’s hardly any left, I have over 30k words written, and the original remains abandoned…and it’s so good, it deserves an ending, even if it’s only mine.
I still get ideas about Pinto Disaster, and occasionally about expanding Compromised or writing a kinky next entry to the Assumptions/Revelations/Weight of a Gaze ‘verse.
But I’ve also been thinking a lot about a 00q fic. So that might happen.
In short, no real plans, but several amorphous ideas, and one thing that I should just finish already, dammit!
