Written for imamaryanne, for the 2015 fandom_stocking holiday exchange.

( Points of interest... )

imamaryanne enjoyed the fic, for which I'm very happy - this isn't exactly my comfort zone when it comes to BSC fic, but it was fun to explore their sibling relationship and capture a moment in time when they were closer to each other than further apart. Janine already craves those sorts of moments, and I think as she grows up, Claudia will come to appreciate them, too.

Written for baseballchica03, for the 2015 fandom_stocking holiday exchange ~ because writing Charlie/Janine fic for baseballchica03's fandom stocking has practically become a tradition :D

( Points of interest... )

This fic basically opened the floodgates of my own personal headcanon for these two, which I've been inspired to serialize. Much as with Allegiance, this is going to be a non-linear post-canon continuum, so if you'd like to read it in order, check out my series index on DW or the series page on AO3.

This was my final fic for the 2015 Summer Mini Challenge, written for the prompt "unsaid."

I have had a couple of lovely, curious people ask me about my latest fandom obsession, the BBC series Monarch of the Glen. I'm glad the idea for this fic came to me, because I consider it sort of an 'introductory' story, of sorts ~ a way to get a feel for the characters, and perhaps decide if it's all interesting enough to plunge into. I didn't write it for that reason, but it does serve that purpose, so we all win, haha =)

( So please, allow me to introduce you to the quirky characters that make up the original cast of this adorable BBC Scotland show =) )

If you find yourself intrigued and wanting to know more, the complete series is available on DVD, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube. It consists of 64 45-60 minute episodes spread out over 7 series/seasons, with an average of 8-10 episodes per series/season, so it is very easy to watch without feeling overwhelmed. I have A Lot of Feelings about this show, as evidenced by my outpouring of fic, as well as a 5K piece of meta on the major romantic storyline of Series 2, and lots of gushy posts on my Tumblr.

I am in the process of writing yet another fic, so I don't foresee giving up my squee over this show and these characters anytime soon :P It has gotten under my skin in the most delicious way, and I look forward to exploring every inch of this itch!

Written for the "cajole" prompt on my 2015 Summer Mini Challenge table.

Talk about a story that came out of nowhere - hell, even a fandom that came out of nowhere! I've been a MotG fan for a long time, but it was one of those series that I put aside and kinda forgot about until I was looking for something to marathon during my staycation this past week. I wanted something British and fun, so I pulled my DVDs off the shelf - and the rest is history...

( ...in that I fell for this series and these characters like a ton of fucking bricks )

I don't know if I'll finish my table this year, but I do know that I am definitely not finished with writing for this series ♥

Written for ozqueen, for the 2014 fandom_stocking holiday exchange.

Trying to make the most of a so-far-not-very-snowy snow day! Here is my very last fandom_stocking gift of the year. Yes, I realize it's almost March, and that this fic was originally posted almost two months ago, but this is my life now - I have next to no free time :(

But enough about me - let's talk BSC parent!fic! =)

( Points of interest... )

ozqueen seemed to enjoy her gift, for which I'm eternally grateful because she's probably tired of forever receiving parent!fic, LOL.

It's been fun to play in the BSC sandbox again, and hopefully it won't be another two years before I'm able to do it again :P I still have several projects I'm in the midst of, but there's always the Summer Mini Challenge, LOL :P

Written for baseballchica03, for the 2014 fandom_stocking holiday exchange.

So I was re-watching the BSC TV series one day (as you do), and I came across this:



and voila, a fic idea was born!

( Ever wonder where Janine was off to at 7 o'clock? )

baseballchica03 seemed to enjoy her fic, which makes me very happy ♥ She is my Charlie/Janine writing idol, so I definitely wanted to impress!! It was a lot of fun to dive back into this pairing, and it turned into a bit of a lovefest with my other fandom_stocking gifts. I was so excited while on this little writing blitz, because I can't seem to keep my mojo for any sustained period of time. Hopefully posting this stable of f_s gifts will help it along, especially since the CA Diaries exchange deadline is coming up soon!!
