The Same Watari As Always

And I almost forgot to rec my story here!

Are you team #HappinessforDoumeki2018? If you aren't, why not?

Anyway, Gathering Roses is a very hot story where Doumeki and Watanuki get hit with sex pollen. It's delightful!

Oh, man, do I love Remix.

I was remixed THREE TIMES this year!

The main remix: Adventures in Babysitting (The Thicker Than Water Remix), Weiss Kreuz, which retells some of the Ran-verse from Schuldig's perspective and somehow doesn't contradict my headcanon, which is amazing considering how much hidden headcanon is in Ran-verse. (I would have been fine with a story that did, I'm just kind of amazed still that it didn't.)

And then two very different stories for Madness:

Cleanse Thyself (The Wash that Man Remix), a funny Gundam Wing fic about Heero washing Duo's hair.

Seeds of Spring (the Second Bite at the Pomegranate Remix), about the Persephone myth, and a major expansion on the small fic I originally wrote.

They are all great for completely different reasons! I FUCKING LOVE REMIX.

Remix reveals are up and I realized I'd never recced my original remix because I am basically failing at LJ these days. So!

daegaer wrote You Can Call Me Al (The Clubbed to Death Remix), a spin on my own "You Can Call Me Al," a Schuldig/Crawford I wrote way back for springkink. It was really fun to see the 'other half' of the story and I laughed like hell. She also managed to portray, brilliantly, Schuldig's mental state; no small feat considering the premise.

I wrote two stories, one regular remix and one quickly written Remix Madness fic. As usually happens in these cases, the quick one has way more hits and kudos. I like the story but I wish I'd had a bit more time with it.

But! I still like them both.

Cafe de I'Europe (The à la carte remix) is my first Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji story ever, remixed from phoebe_zeitgeist's The Second of our Reign, about Ciel working very specifically to help Sebastian with...a certain problem. My remix is about Ciel going shopping.

The Madness fic was Restored (The More or Less Functional Remix) which is also the first (and possibly only) time I've written Clint/Coulson. I seem to be in a place where I will take any excuse to write hearing aid fic. I'm okay with that. The original work was Only Human. by marieincolour. I liked the way Marie worked the contrast between Clint and his superpowered teammates in the fic, but I backgrounded that in my remix and focused more on his relationships.

I also realized I never claimed my ShipSwap, where I wrote Todd/Lydia from Breaking Bad. Fuck yes horrible tasteless pairings.

Hello all! I received a WONDERFUL Yuletide fic. It is about Josie and you all should read it NOW.

The Ghost of the Great Hotel, Twin Peaks, AWESOME. Its structure is just brilliant, if you know the canon at all. (If you don't, I'm afraid it doesn't work as well, as this is just neck deep in the people and setting and canon events. IT'S SO GOOD, GUYS.)

I also enjoyed this World War Z fic, Zack Don't Surf, despite not knowing the canon beyond reading half a sample chapter on a Kindle at Best Buy the other day.

There might be more recs later but I wanted to rec my Yuletide fic as soon as I had time and brain to do so...so here it is!

Link to your reclist entry

This month's challenge at hc_bingo is to create reclists on a theme, or a few themes. I picked "Love potion/spell gone wrong."

( 15 works of mayhem under the cut, fic and vids )

And I forgot to talk about the Weiss Kreuz Reverse Fest!

I got High school AU Yohji/Schuldig. With girl!Schuldig. It's awesome, and her Ken is utterly delightful.

I wrote Tokyo hit with the Minus Wave (Saiyuki/WK fusionfic.) It was really fun to write.

The stories and art are great, you should check out the whole fest and see if there's anything to your taste! There are some old favorites and newish writers involved so it's really a treat.

They would RULE THE WORLD and you know it!

CHECK OUT THIS FANART IT IS THE BEST THING.

THE BEST THING.

It was written as part of my fic/art exchange with indelicateink, and if you missed the fic on LJ (crosspost interrupted because hurricane), it's right here: Yes. Yes. Yes. (Title mostly stolen from Morphine.)

Thank you AGAIN for the exchange and the fantastic art, indelicateink! Not only is it super-hot and IC, it makes me laugh like crazy...and it works so well with the world of the story. ♥!

Now the series is complete, I'm delighted to pass on the link to The Avatar Deal, a three-part series where Kat introduces Annie (and Reynardine, by extension) to the delights of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Featuring some of my favorite fictional girls, and one of my favorite fictional friendships-- especially nice at a point where the canon is breaking my heart.

Thanks, mystery writer!

But first a rec: Escape without running, Yozak-centered gen. Recced by threewalls, and amazing.

And now, for au_bingo: 585 Saiyuki vampire AU! Thanks to emungere for betaing.
