It's been seven years in the making, but we're finally here: the New Year's Eve concert! ♥

ExpandNotes on Chapter 26 )

Believe it or not, this is (only) the official halfway point of the story. (Yes, 120K words is only -half- the story, LOL.) I am forever optimistic that it won't take seven (or more) years to finish the rest of it (especially considering there is an equally-long sequel percolating in the background), but there are plenty of Major Storylines to come, including the integration of several episode plots, Stacy's birthday, the prom, graduation, and summer. Whew! This fic might give new meaning to the word "epic" if we ever make it to the end! :P

Warning: Sexual content
Word Count: 2,941
Summary: First in a new series. If it came down to a choice between having her, or having a child of his very own, then he would choose her every time.

Links: DW | AO3

Written for the “hollow” prompt on my 2017 Summer Mini Challenge table.

So if you were curious about this post on Tumblr, allow me to put you out of your misery :P

ExpandAnd now I shall attempt to juggle two simultaneous headcanons for the same characters at the same time )

This series is going to be written exclusively from Charlie's POV, mostly because I think that will be the most interesting way to tell this. If he could birth a baby himself, he'd do it, but he can't - so he'll go through his wife's pregnancy every step of the way, from this moment of them deciding to start trying, to her actually having the baby, and beyond.

I know kid!fic isn't everyone's cup of tea. It isn't even my cup of tea, but I've had a surprisingly nice response to the first two entries in this series. We'll see if anybody else wants to board this train with me, or if they'd rather stick to the fun falling-in-love Count Me In universe instead. These two post-canon continuums are totally unrelated. Which will make life interesting for me, because I'll be working on them both at the same time. Luckily, writing for one tends to inspire me to pursue ideas for the other, so hopefully this won't be the last SMC fill for these two in some capacity :D

I enjoyed writing this immensely, and [personal profile] ozqueen enjoyed receiving it. I'm really happy I was able to push all the buttons for her that the book pushed in me. I have so many feels and so much sympathy for all of the Thomas brothers with this book - Charlie and Sam and poor David Michael, who feels left out but probably doesn't really understand why.

Plus, I had the chance to make a new banner - win-win! =)


My current plans for my SMC table are to continue exploring this bit of headcanon-meets-actual-canon, mostly because I can't resist the idea of these two carrying on a super secret relationship behind everyone's backs, considering everything that happens in early SVH canon that involves these two.

Janine already craves those sorts of moments, and I think as she grows up, Claudia will come to appreciate them, too.

College/middle school are okay. Adult/families of their own type future fics don't interest me.

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 =)

ExpandSo 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!

Before I fell into my Monarch of the Glen rabbit hole, I (re)watched Ever After, a favorite retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale, and was inspired to fill in a gap in the canon: in particular, the penultimate scene in which the royal family punished Danielle's stepmother and stepsister for their obstinacy. It's a very powerful scene, but also an unusual one, and I decided to take on the challenge of figuring out how they got there =)
