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.)

[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?' )

Title: Gorillas and Penguins and Bonding, Oh My - Or, How Tracy Jordan's Tongue Led To A Lovely Zoo Outing
Pairing: Jack/Liz
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,031
Summary: When the going gets tough, agents Donaghy and Lemon retreat to the wild. Or, well. The zoo.
Author's Note: I have no idea where this came from! Seriously, none. I wasn't aware I was even capable of writing anything anymore. Thank you, Jack Donaghy, for randomly popping into my brain. It is muchly appreciated.

Remember that ancient, ancient alphabet fic meme? Yeah, this is for that! The ever-lovely yourmomroxxs prompted "Jack/Liz, zoo."

Here we go!

Also, after having consulted my expert, I am aware that the Jonas Brothers were not actually at the MTV Movie Awards. To which I say, SCREW IT. The Jonas Brothers are where I want them to be. Anywhere, anytime. I've just got that kind of power.

( Things are hectic at work, on account of Tracy licking a Jonas Brother at the MTV Movie Awards. )

Title: Lines
Pairing: Victor/Sierra
Spoilers: Season 1 through 1x12 "Omega"
Word Count: 1,150
Rating: G
Summary: Victor, Sierra, and crayons.
Author's Note: Darnit, I can write stuff! Or at least I can try. This is for allthingsholy's long ago prompt on the alphabet meme: 'Victor/Sierra, Look After You.'

( They're told to draw something that makes them happy, so Sierra draws butterflies. )

Title: All this time I've loved you and never known your face
Pairing: Sawyer/Juliet
Spoilers: through 5x16 & 17 - "The Incident"
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,673
Summary: An encounter.
Author's Note: ( My, this is all so finale spoilerific! )

Title: Walking Slow
Pairing: Boyd/Echo
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,411
Summary: Waking up feels funny, a little.
Author's Note: For sistergrimm36 via the mighty alphabet fanfic meme! I actually wrote this a couple days ago, but in the midst of my academic devastation, posting did not really seem like a priority. But now, I'm freeeeeeee! Gloriously free!

Er. Here ya go.

( Waking up feels funny, a little. )

Title: Rid of me
Pairing: Adelle/Dominic
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,190
Spoilers: through 1x09 - "A Spy in the House of Love"
Summary: The bullet wound will scar. Adelle, and the aftermath.
Author's Note: I sat down to put the finishing touches on my English essay and suddenly it's 2:36 in the morning and this exists and I still haven't done all of my reading for tomorrow! Damn it, awesome power of Adelle DeWitt. You are my master now. (Sorry, academic success!)

Also, this is rated PG-13 for absolutely no legit reason. I just kind of felt like anything even remotely related to that EPISODE OF DOOM AND WONDER shouldn't be rated something as quaintly tame as PG.

( The bullet wound will scar. )

I think I will always be consumed by guilt that I didn't write a reaction post to last week's Office episodes -- curse you, school, and being busy, and all that inferior nonsense! In short: I LOVED IT, I LOVED IT ALL. My enthusiasm for this show has been renewed in ways I would have thought impossible.

( The Office: Heavy Competition )

Yeah, that's right. I'm actually endeavouring to do something that would require me to write regularly. And with a word count.

We'll see how this goes.

In celebration of the fact that cashewdani and I randomly dubbed it Ryan/Kelly Day in a comment conversation earlier--

( A picspam of one of their finest moments. )

Title: He’s A Magic Man – Or, Barney Started The Fire
Pairing: Barney/Robin
Spoilers: General Season 4
Word Count: 1,872
Rating: PG
Summary: While busting out his magic skills, a drunken Barney has a slight fire incident. Robin comes to the rescue.
Author's Note: I was having a glum, productivity-devoid kinda day, and then I drank an iced tea and this appeared! Oh, caffeine, you are my life partner. Written for nikitembo's prompt "brotp, magic." :D

( It’s like three in the morning when Ted and Barney come up from MacLaren’s, Ted drunkish and Barney drunkity-drunk-drunk. )

Title: The Troublesome Power of Inappropriate Starches
Pairing: Adelle/Dominic
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,602
Spoilers: through 1x07 - "Echoes"
Summary: A particularly stressful day drives Adelle into the (figurative) arms of a bag of potato chips. Unfortunately, she just so happens to get caught in the act.
Author's Note: Oh, y'all, if there is one power I have on this earth, it is to inject mindless fluff into everything. 'Everything' apparently meaning even Dollhouse, a show that is all, 'What up, I am seriously screwed up and inherently disturbing!' My response? 'TEEHEE, DRAWER OF INAPPROPRIATE STARCHES.' It's just how I roll.

Also, may I just say that I personally am incapable of experiencing those fascinating pickle-flavoured potato chips, because for some inexplicable reason they put dairy in them. (Dairy? Really, universe?) I love pickles. I love potato chips. I think, in theory, they sound ingenious, yet controversial. Right up my alley. I am a staunchly pro-black licorice. Sadly, there are some gustatory truths I will never know. What, then, can I do but write? (Ooh, shivers! That almost got deep.)

( Under normal circumstances, Adelle DeWitt is not one to succumb to stress. )

Title: Your heart is an empty room
Pairing: Adelle DeWitt/Laurence Dominic
Spoilers: 1x07 - "Echoes"
Word Count: 1,557
Rating: PG
Summary: In the wake of 1x07, Adelle ponders things even more incomprehensible than lentils.
Author's Note: OH, YOU KNOW I HAD TO GO THERE. I'd like to thank the combined forces of a) caffeine (too much, to be precise), b) Joss Whedon's unstoppable tendency to feature episodes where everyone acts uninhibited and HILARIOUS, and c) Adelle DeWitt, my exquisite morally dubious lady hero, ♥ from here to ETERNITY.

( Were she to be asked (though she will not; she’s trained everyone she associates with to know better), Adelle might answer that she understands it. )

Title: Time stood still (we were moving too fast)
Pairing: Anne/Gil
Word Count: 1,091
Author's Note: Oh good God, people, I wrote something! This right here is what I like to call a miracle. Anyway, this is a response to this week's 15_minute_fic. It was more on the half an hour side of things, but by golly, that's still pretty fast for me!

Titles will forever be my downfall; I stole this one from And You Give by Matthew Barber, which has the same kind of summery bliss that I was feeling for this, and which makes my soul all fluttery in a way uncannily like Anne/Gil does, and truly, has there ever been anything else as sheerly lovely as that music video? O, an eternity of asjdflkdjf;a!

( It's all the summer's fault-- )

I didn't get to see this last night, because my roommate wanted to watch something, so the first thing I did when I got up this morning was pull myself out of bed and immediately collapse in front of my computer and skidattle on over to Hulu. This show comes before showering, before caffeine, before total awakeness. It just does.
