Are *you* prepared for the worst?
What with LJ being down a couple weeks ago and the site still being somewhat glitchy when I try to access it, I thought it might be a good idea to back up my fics, on the ridiculous off chance that someone would want to read them. Ha. So! Here are links to my DW and AO3 accounts, I'm cityfibers there too. Nothing's been posted yet but I'll get my fics uploaded there over the next few weeks. I'm still mainly staying with LJ; I'll just also be crossposting everything just in case.

Also saw X-Men: First Class and HELLO, summer fling fandom. I have a Supernatural AU planned for you, oh yes I do. ♥

I watch you sometimes, from a better time and a better place; I see you, small and still, and I see a tunnel of trees hanging over you, overshadowing you, and isn't that the story of your life. You stir but the leaves fall and smother you, so instead you wait and sleep. But by winter, when the leaves are finally gone, the snow falls, thick and fast, and again you are blanketed and silent.

And I stood, unmoving, because I didn't know what to do. Struggling chicks helped out of their shells will be weak and frail. They will be dead before they ever reach the sky.

But one day, spring will come. The snow will melt and the trees will bud, and without leaves, the sun will filter down to you. And you will wake and blink away the shadows, and you will stand on your own and walk on your own and meet me where I'm waiting at the end of the road, where the ground is jagged but the sky is clear.

In that moment, we will be golden.
Are *you* prepared for the worst?
Who knows; perhaps this will actually get me to finish these.

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

I cheated. One has two sentences. Whoops.

1. Patrick lets the boat drift by itself for an afternoon, bobbing in the waves, and by the time the stars are out, little lights gleaming through holes poked into the canvas of sky, he's pinpointed the way that leads back to home.

He heads the opposite direction.

2. Linda slaps her cobbled together circuity onto the billboard, making sure the right cables are hastily connected before launching herself off the platform, and the holoscreen flickers once, twice, before it's replaced by a shining picture: her pixels, her design, her art—blue-red wires twisting through hands like veins, electric currents sparking through them like blood—replacing the flashing KIRA slogan.

3. His hands are smeared black now, but under the ash, sifted away and running through his fingers like sand, still warm, are charred pages and beakers and spirals of notebooks, warped and twisted from the heat of the fire; they're all that's left of his notes, all of his painstaking research that lasted until daybreak, hands shaking with exhaustion and eyes burning for sleep.

4. Hethethe shaman, the medicine mansees the young boy sitting on the ground, and slowly, strangely tenderly, his eyes rest on him before he raises his hand and points, and the boy clambers up wordlessly before instantly following the medicine man's quiet beckoning; it's chilling and eerily lovely, the bone-gaunt hand resting gently on the boy's shoulder, like a father.

5. Okay, this, this is why Gerard doesn't like leaving the fucking basement to go out, because the one day out of the month that he does, he ends up tackled flat on his back while some snarling thing is sitting on his chest, snapping at his goddamn neck (Jersey sure is crazy nowadays), and holy shit, those things in its mouth sure look a lot like fangs.

Goddamn, I have long sentences.

If I don't post this, I don't think I'll ever get these fics written. So!

1. Medicine Man AU. YEAH THIS WAS REQUESTED BACK IN, WHAT, APRIL? |DDD

2. An epic three-part 16 Candles AU. Featuring Gerard the faily hunter, Gabe the (unsuccessfully) vegan vampire, and FOB, who are just, you know, awesome. Also, I am not setting this up to turn out to be a Supernatural crossover. Really. >|

3. Mello/Matt Death Note cyberpunk AU, the demon spawn of that fic for [info]dn_contest.

4. A What a Catch, Donnie AU. SRSLY, I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE VID, THIS IS THE FIC I MOST WANT TO WRITE. With lonely seaman (ahahahahaseaman)!Patrick, and seagull!not-Pete, and a piano, and hell, saltwater is not good for instruments, for serious.
