Although not quite as exclusive as the Finer Things Club (is anything?), the majority of this journal is friends-locked. Fanfiction, TV show thoughts, and the occasional other fannish endeavour are left open, but for the most part, The Mighty Chronicles of Me are kept from the general public. (Mostly because they are not mighty or remotely chronicle-esque. They're quite rambly, though, if you like that kind of thing!)

Not adding at the moment, sorry! (Don't worry -- I assure you, you are not missing out.)

Title: Even Twinkies Expire Sometime, Or: The Repercussions of Random Kissing
Pairing: Jeff/Annie
Word Count: 3,865
Spoilers: post-"Debate 109"
Rating: PG
Summary: In which kissing is misinterpreted, hole punches are dangerous, Annie has a bountiful list of reasons for her behaviour, and Jeff has a tough, tough time.
Author's Note: Oh, good God. I had a paper to write today; instead, all my caffeine-fueled energy deflected itself to this. I'm going to flunk out of college, but on the plus side, I've got my lucrative career as a fanfiction writer to fall back on! Yuk yuk yuk.

Damn it, Community.

(This is seriously all over the place and weird. I think my brain is drug-addled by the combined forces of Lipton Iced Tea and paralyzing fear over my academic doom.)

Also: I fear that Britta came out a little shrewish, or -- say -- g-d-b-ish in this. May I just say: I love Britta, I find her awesome, I'm not trying to Terri Schuester her at all! It's the caffeine, and the school-related despair. I can't be held accountable for anything anymore.

( Britta has something to say about it. Gasp. Shock. )

Title: Borne aloft or sinking as the light wind lives or dies
Pairing: Sarah/Mary
Word Count: 2,374
Rating: PG
Spoilers: plentiful ones for all of the Gemma Doyle Trilogy; set post-series
Summary: For Sarah Rees-Toome, retribution takes a most peculiar course.
Author's Note: I am not done with this yet, and I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be more. It hasn't actually been written, apart from some random paragraphs and snatches of dialogue, and maybe if I was good, I would refrain from posting it until, y'know, the whole thing was done. However! I also feel like this sort of works on its own just as it is; it accomplishes what I wanted it to. Also, quite frankly, having like eight completed pages just sitting around on my harddrive and being ignored -- I can't live like that! I just can't! I should be able to, but I can't.

So, here, flist, be subjected to my fanfic? Mwahahaha?

This was sparked by the prompt 'Sarah/Mary, autumn' from the glorious defutata!

Also: this character is my NUMBER ONE LADY in this book series, favourite favourite, all the way, and at the same time, I have never actually been able to truly wrap my mind around/reconcile myself to her storyline. So this is my attempt to do that, for the sake of important matters like my own mental health and stuff. Does it succeed? Who knows???

( I heard many things in hell-- )

Title: Blooming
Pairing: Guy/Marian
Word Count: 693
Rating: G
Spoilers: set pre-series
Summary: At last, spring comes; when Sir Guy asks her to accompany him on a walk, she can come up with no good excuse not to.
Author's Note: I know, right? Guy/Marian what the what? Hello, randomness! I think the idea for this scene actually occurred to me, like, over a year ago -- back when they still ruled my life! -- and for some reason (hahaha, and that reason is probably reading sir_gizzy, which, btw, EVERYONE SHOULD), it came back into my head again and I figured, 'Hey, why didn't I ever write that?'

Also, I have like six papers I should be writing right now. So. The reasoning behind random fanfic becomes suddenly and incredibly obvious.

( It goes without saying that his company has not improved. He is awkward and looming as ever. )

Title: A Green Knight In Prince Arthur's Court, Or: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks At Them
Characters: Morgana, Gwen, Arthur, & Merlin; minor appearances by the rest of the Camelot crew; featuring, er, the Green Knight
Word Count: 2,783
Rating: PG
Chapter: 2
Spoilers: general season 2
Summary: In the thrilling continuation of our tale, Morgana, Gwen, Arthur, and Merlin set off on an epic journey to find the Green Knight, and mostly just find annoyance. Featuring ogres, cloak thievery, and a whole lot of singing.
Author's Note: Clearly this thing is an epic, because it ain't done yet, folks! Who saw that coming?? Most of this section was inspired by one of my very favourite sections of good ol' Sir G and the GK (is my abbreviation catchy or what? Answer, YES.)--

He had death-struggles with dragons, did battle with wolves,
warred with wild men who dwelt among the crags;
Battled with bulls and bears and boars at other times,
And ogres that panted after him on the high fells.

It really made me sad that adventures that bitchin' are confined to only four lines. Clearly, this chapter is my attempt to Do Something About That.


( There’s nothing quite like feigning excitement over decapitation on a days-long, directionless wintertime journey with a couple of morons. )

Title: A Green Knight In Prince Arthur’s Court, Or: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks At Them
Characters: Morgana, Gwen, Arthur, & Merlin; minor appearances by the rest of the Camelot crew; featuring, er, the Green Knight
Word Count: 3,127
Rating: PG
Chapter: 1
Spoilers: general season 2
Summary: In which the Green Knight proposes a beheading game, all the men in Camelot go bonkers, and it is, at long last, Gwen and Morgana’s turn to save the day.
Author's Note: ... hahaha, I don't know. I don't know! I haven't written in ages, and then all of a sudden, completely randomly, in the middle of doing Virginia Woolf homework, I just started, and ... there was this? Clearly, reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight for Brit Lit I touched me very deeply. But just because Sir G isn't around yet -- well, why should that deprive us of zany Green Knight adventures? Also: I'm pretty sure this is cracky, cracky, crack fic, but it's hard to tell with Merlin. You guys, Uther had sex with a troll.

Also: I kind of feel like the Green Knight and his shenanigans are like the medieval equivalent of Jackass. The menfolk are powerless to withstand him!


( The knight who interrupts the holiday feast is very big and very green. )

Title: Hang our pretty things
Pairing: DeWitt/Dominic
Word Count: 2,339
Rating: PG
Spoilers: 2x04 - "Belonging"
Summary: How looming, how monstrous she’s become. A good thing. It aids in keeping up at least some semblance of order. (She did not set out to become this way.) Adelle dreams. Set after "Belonging."
Author's Note: I know it happens oh so seldom, but when it does, MAN, do I love writing these guys. I sort of want to live in Adelle DeWitt's brain. I feel like there would be way more fabulous and way less homework that way.

( I'm afraid to forget you, I am remembering you, you were sparkling-- )

Title: Warm in my heart
Pairing: Uther/Morgana
Word Count: 1,802
Spoilers: Small ones for season two thus far
Rating: G
Summary: She tells herself she does not know how deep his love runs; that it must be shallower than it seems. Too shallow to withstand the truth of her.
Author's Note: When I got up this morning, it was to find that firthgal made A REALLY REALLY AWESOME UTHER/MORGANA VID, which everybody should watch if they're fond of things like, I don't know, beauty, and awesomeness. All you haters of beauty and awesome should probably best step back, however. Anyway! That kinda got my brain into the appropriate mindset, and I also had the 'Uther/Morgana - winter' prompt (courtesy of firthgal!) to write, and, well, check it out! I actually wrote something!

And, er, spent my prime homework time frolicking in Camelot, but whatevz.

Also, whatever, they never actually show the seasons change on this show (angst! I want zany Merlin Christmas adventures! With the Green Knight!), so I'm just setting this after 2x04 because that's the last episode that happened. INSERT WINTER HERE.

For some reason writing this made me think about "Winter" by Tori Amos A LOT. Ergo title. And epigraph. It's a theme! Roll with it.

( Winter settles gently over Camelot. )

Title: Start and Tremble
Pairing: Felicity/Pippa
Spoilers: post-A Great & Terrible Beauty; could fit in pretty much anywhere in Rebel Angels or The Sweet Far Thing
Word Count: 2,564
Rating: PG-13
Summary: My dust would hear her and beat, had I lain for a century dead. Felicity ponders many things, but mostly Pippa.
Author's Note: GOD, WRITING FEELS GOOD. I always forget. And check me out! I finally wrote AG&TB fic, and it only took like ... four or five years! High five, self. I really, really enjoyed this a lot. God, I love these books. ♥ Also, I think this is the closest thing to smutty of anything I have ever written ever. Which, granted, isn't saying much. I blame these books for, like, oozing sensuality out of their book-pores.

This was actually a response to a prompt! I know, say what? lovestories none too long ago gave me "Felicity/Pippa + vermilion + Inkspell." Here ya go, girlyfriend!

( It’s much easier to fit into the tent of scarves when there are just three. Felicity doesn’t like it at all, this extra space; to make up for it, she lies down and stretches out, hates and loves the hard floor against the bumps of her spine. )

Title: Til Death Do Us ... Oh Look, You're Dead
Pairing: Lassiter/O'Hara
Spoilers: Set some time before everything DESCENDED INTO SUCKERY, aka, like, season two?
Word Count: 5,268
Summary: Lassiter and O'Hara go undercover as a married couple. Cue the shenanigans.
Author's Note: This, much like Wives & Daughters and that Drood guy of Dickens', is not finished. Which is lame. However, it has also been sitting on my harddrive for like over a year, and it's over 5,000 words, and I think it's just kind of sad to completely ignore a piece of writing that got that big. I also had a great time writing what does exist, because Detectives Lassiter & O'Hara make an awesome team. However, with season three, Shawn/Juliet came along and totally murdered my desire to watch Psych even a little bit, and it's been ages since I saw any of it, so really, the completion of this is pretty much impossible. Show, this is what you get for putting your highly predictable ship together. The loss of my loyalty, and the abandonment of my fanfiction! I hope you feel properly guilty for what you've done, you fiend of a television program.

( 'There’s yours,' Lassiter mutters, shoving the gold band in his partner’s direction. When five seconds slip by without her taking it – an anomaly for O’Hara, whose motor reflexes have never been anything less than adequate – he looks over at her. She’s staring at him, her forehead and nose scrunched up in that expression of mildly appalled disbelief that he’s more or less gotten used to. )

Title: It's Complicated & Stupid
Pairing: Oscar/Andy
Word Count: 1,078
Summary: At least Andy’s imbibed a lot of alcohol by the time he goes, “Hey----------” (The everlasting pause involves lots of pensive brow-wriggling.) “---------maybe we should practice.”
Author's Note: Sad fact: this has been in the works for weeks. It was born on the eve that the Spoiler of Joy was released. Writer's block is an unpleasant phenomenon, you guys!

( Cherry cherry boom boom! )

Title: Love a loathed enemy
Pairing: Anne/Gil
Word Count: 1,930
Summary: It’s on the most wintery of days that Miss Stacy introduces them to Shakespeare.
Author's Note: Hahaha, I have been writing this little ditty for about five years. Most of it is from many, many months ago. It is in response to chibirhm's prompt for this meme, which I still like to imagine that I will finish someday. Somehow. Slowly.

( It's on the most wintery of days that Miss Stacy introduces them to Shakespeare. )

Title: Ha Ha, Suckers!
Originally Written: July 6, 2004
Summary: The epic adventures of Mark Evans. Oh, they are epic, y'all.
Author's Note: So, the thing is, I have written a lot of fanfiction since I started in seventh grade. A lot, a lot, a lot. Sort of scarily a lot. A lot of it is very bad. However, I like to think it all has value in the posterity department, at least. Anyway, Fanfiction.Net has become so fearsome over the past couple years that I started thinking it might be fun to post the stories I still like over here. Because livejournal is not quite such a cesspool of darkness.

And we're kicking off this project with this little baby, because, I'm sorry, but it's a work of incomparable genius. High five, past me!

( BAM!!! Dudley 'Big D' Dursley's unnaturally large fist came barrelling toward Mark Evans's unnaturally unfortunate face... )

Title: This is a gift, it comes with a price
Pairing: DeWitt/Dominic
Word Count: 1,861
Spoilers: set pre-series
Summary: A quiet moment, and an unanticipated conversation.
Author's Note: This was really just one of those "I need to write something, anything, or I shall DIE" endeavours, so ... yeah. If the overall quality screams of desperation and self-loathing, that would be why!

I really like these two, though.

( The company Christmas party is filled with a group of the most wealthy, influential, easy-to-hate humans in all of the city, the state, the country, the continent, the world, the universe, etc., and only ends after approximately five thousand years... )

Title: Unstable Elements
Pairing: DeWitt/Dominic
Spoilers: 1x13 - "Epitaph One"
Word Count: 447
Rating: G
Summary: Adelle and Dominic have a little chat about the new Dollhouse technician.
Author's Note: Hee, I think this is the tiniest thing I have ever written, at least in a long long while. But I had to let out a little of my renewed Dollhouse enthusiasm somehow!

( 'I hate that guy.' )

Title: Keep You So
Pairing: Gaius/Six
Word Count: 2,389
Rating: PG-13
Summary: And he's left with no choice but to follow her. Five times Six intrigued Gaius before the attacks.
Author's Note: This is, of course, risky and even ridiculous of me to write, considering I've only watched through 3x14 and on this show, that's like ... futile to the highest degree. But sunshine_queen gave me an awesome prompt, and I love these crazy weirdos, and I couldn't resist! So, yeah. I'm not entirely sure how much this works in relation to how everything ultimately plays out, but roll with me here, homies.

Also. PLEASE DON'T SPOIL ME FOR FUTURE B-STAR HAPS IN THE COMMENTS! I am invoking the power of caps lock for security's sake. Ooh, ahh, caps lock.

( You're the only story that I've never told-- )

[39] The Office - Cafe Disco



right here @ fivequeenlywits

Bwahaha, icons from this episode now exist! Sure, it was at the cost of me wasting my day, but ... it's important, worthy work, right?

Title: Symmetry or something
Pairing: Kelly/Erin; Ryan/Kelly; Ryan/Pam
Spoilers: through "Company Picnic"
Word Count: 9,825
Rating: PG
Summary: Ryan does a number on Kelly's emotional well being, again. This time, Kelly finds a new solution.
Author's Note: Ahahaha, I did it! ... and it somehow became 10,000 words. In one sitting. Oh, I am feeling terribly drunk on MS Word and too much typing right now, y'all. But by God, I actually wrote this fic! (And it is a gigantic, frightening beasty thing, but whatever.)

I think a lot of this wound up exploring the shift in Kelly's character since season three -- is it just me, or has she become a lot less warm and fuzzy and ditzy and a lot more snappy? She talks smack, you guys! I figure it might just be The Further Inadvertent Evolution of Kelly, sort of like how she was a totally sane background character for the first like twenty episodes, but I kind of like to play around with the idea that it was kind of the result of Ryan Bailey Howard crushing her poor little heart.

Oh, God, I need to go collapse now.

But first, a moment of sadness: seriously, why are there no Erin icons??!?!

(p.s. This ship is called Kerin, Karen, Filippeli lives on forever, hurrah! I need to go to bed right now!)

( 'Hey, so, listen,' Ryan says after they hook up, 'you’re not gonna go all crazy on me or whatever, are you?' )
