"Dead baby jokes are always appropriate when you have a dead baby."

We got through Leah's first week back at work without anything too terrible happening, but it was full of rough edges. I had people asking me whether or not I had a boy or a girl, somebody asked Leah if it was true that "the other girl's baby died" and just a bunch of tiny moments of sadness. Oh, and then Leah made one of the student teachers cry. Yup.

You have to understand, Leah's a bulldozer. She stands for no bullshit, and she tolerates no coddling. She is a graduate of the Cordelia Chase School of Tact Aversion. So, this happened:

ST: "Leah! You're back! How's the baby?"
Leah: "Uh, dead?"

And then the poor thing burst into tears in the middle of the bookstore. I was like, "Girl, I know this is your tragedy and I'm not telling you how to deal, but maybe be a little bit more delicate with the crunchy granola crowd?" And then I laughed until I almost cried, because holy shit.

***

My uterus hates me, so I think I'm gonna put off laundry for one more day and either do one more of the writing prompts or try to finish up the Myka/H.G. love notes story.

On that note, if anybody has any favorite quotes from literature about love or romance, or pining or loneliness or anything along those lines, I would love to hear them! Basically, I need ways that book nerds would say "I love you, I miss you, come home soon" without actually saying any of that.

Dancing, pining, and plastic martini swords

Latest batch of prompt fills from Tumblr! These are loose and extremely non-betaed. Mostly "grab a prompt and write till you find an end or get tired of it" with no research or stopping for logic or any kind of good sense. Archiving them here so they don't get lost in the shuffle at Tumblr.

1. Historical AU, Damon/Alaric (Vampire Diaries), for @EmmyHildy.Collapse )

2. Telepathy, Pepper/Natasha (Avengers), for @CrystalMage.Collapse )

3. Tony/Clint (Avengers), amnesia, for @CrystalMage.Collapse )

4. Bruce & Steve (Avengers), forced to share a bed, for @CrystalMage.Collapse )

5. Fury & Coulson (Avengers), pretending to be married, for @CrystalMage.Collapse )

Thanks for indulging me, guys. Let's do this again soon!

Hey! Hi! Wow, it's been a while since I used LJ for anything, and even longer since I used it for actual posts. Twitter is great, and Tumblr is fun, but they're not great for having actual discussions, y'know?

Which is what I want to do today.

I was having a conversation with a co-worker (who, for the purposes of this specific anecdote, you should know is about 15 years older than me) about sex, and communication, and also like, the media's representation of healthy relationships and such. I was talking about how much I enjoy reading Pervocracy, and how that blogger has made the point that people in BDSM relationships rely so much on good communication, but that even people who don't need to specify exactly what they mean by "I want you to hit me" actually need to talk to each other if they want their sex to be as good as it can be.

Which was a good, fun, interesting conversation to be having! But we got derailed a little bit when my co-worker took the stance that men, physically, need sex more than women. She believes that men have a deep-seated, lizard brain drive for sex, whereas women have a less urgent kind of desire. Whether or not you believe that (for the record, I don't, not until somebody shows me some comprehensive studies), it led into our next point of contention, which is what I want to open up to debate.

Her point was that, in a relationship between a man and a woman, because the man needs sex more than the woman, oftentimes the woman in the relationship just has to go along and have sex with him, even if she's not really into it.

When I furiously replied that nobody should ever have to go along to get along when it comes to sex, and that is the kind of bullshit thinking that leads to people saying that men can't rape their wives, and wondering why I have to bow to his needs rather than him bowing to mine, and why if he needs it so bad he can't just go jerk off, she just smiled at me and said, "Well, talk to me again in twenty years." And holy shit, I wanted to tear my hair out.

Honestly, I feel like sexual compatibility is a big part of any relationship, but I also feel that there are lots of ways to work around it if both parties are willing to try. Lots of ways that don't involve one partner just sighing and going "well, I suppose." Sorry, but that is bullshit. It makes me super angry! And I can't help thinking that I would not be really excited about fucking somebody who would rather be checking their Facebook or reading the paper. Wouldn't that be kinda unsexy?

But on the other hand, I can't help wondering whether or not there's a kernel of truth in there. Mostly because this is an area in which my expertise is, uh, lacking. (For those who maybe don't know me in real life, while I'm always interested in talking about sex, I'm not really interested in having any myself, at least for the time being. Still not sure which labels apply to me, but I've been considering "lapsed heterosexual" since I mostly lean towards guys).

So those of you who have had long-time relationships that included sex, I want your opinions! And while the conversation I was referencing was mostly referencing guy/girl relationships, don't limit yourselves to only discussing those. I wanna hear from everybody, not just those with previous het relationships.

Cross-posting to Twitter and Tumblr for maximum impact. While I'd like to keep the discussion centered here, I'll gladly answer questions/talk about stuff on those platforms, too.

Another drabble post

I had such a good time with the last one that I asked my Twitter friends for more prompts, and then spent a couple hours last night filling them. I got some really interesting ones, and I had lot of fun stretching my writerly muscles with fandoms and characters I've never written before.

This time I asked for two characters, a setting, and a word or phrase. I said I would write 5 sentences per prompt, but I occasionally got carried away. Yes, I know, you're shocked. Anyway, ficlets listed below!


@EmmyHildy: Cap and Alaric, Mystic Grill, "long-suffering sigh" (5 sentences)

Alaric’s forehead thunked onto the bar next to his depressingly empty glass.

“You don’t understand,” he mumbled into the smooth bartop. “He is impossible.”

"I live with Tony Stark,” Steve said, and signaled to the bartender for another round. “Believe me, I get it.”


@EmmyHildy: Dean, Damon, Tony, Shawn & shots. (14 sentences)

“I sense that while you are incredibly wealthy, you seek to give back-” Shawn stopped abruptly when Dean clapped a hand on his shoulder hard enough to make Shawn stagger.

“Dude, that’s Tony Stark,” Dean laughed. “Can the psychic crap unless you’ve got something not printed in every gossip rag this week.”

Shawn narrowed his eyes. “How bout a bet? If I can intuit something about you two chuckleheads,” he glanced between Dean and Damon, “then the next round of shots is on Mr. Moneybags.”

“Done,” Tony said.

“Dazzle me,” Damon added, leaning back in his chair with an indulgent smirk.

Shawn made a show of putting his hand to his head and grimacing before straightening, a manic gleam in his eye that might have been terrifying in a different crowd.

“The spirits tell me that you,” he said, pointing at Dean, “are a vampire hunter. And you,” he added, pointing at Damon, who had already started to rise from his chair, “are a vampire. Ta da!”

Tony’s laugh died at the look on Dean’s face and the shiny silver revolver he pulled from under his jacket.

“Whoops,” Shawn said. “I probably should have thought that through more.”


@rozfost: Charles, Tony, an airport, "fated to pretend." (5 sentences)

“Charles Xavier?” A vaguely familiar voice calls his attention away from his laptop, and Charles looks up into the smiling, handsome face of Tony Stark.

“It is you! How’ve you been, Charlie boy?”

Charles resolutely does not reach for the arms of his wheelchair, nor glance at the space beside himself that still feels achingly empty; rather, he forces a smile with weeks of practice and says, “Doing well, Tony, and yourself?”


@FoxyMsMoxie: Narcissa and Bellatrix. Younger years. Malfoy estate garden maze. "Red." (15 sentences)

“Bella! Come down from there, I want to speak with you,” Narcissa called. Her sister paused, halfway up the side of the exterior wall of the hedge maze.

“I figured it out!” Bellatrix called down. “If I just - ” But her grip slipped and she dropped to the ground in a tumble of skirts.

“Bella, no!” Narcissa cried out and rushed to her fallen sister.

Bellatrix sat up, laughing, leaves and twigs caught in her hair. “Oh bollocks, that was my favorite dress,” she said, still giggling. “Mother is going to be extra cross.”

“I’m more concerned with the state of your hands,” Narcissa said, clucking her tongue at Bellatrix’s scratched and bloodied palms. “Whatever were you thinking, climbing the side of the hedge like that?”

Bellatrix’s face smoothed out into an easy smile. “I just wanted to solve the maze, Cissy.”


@EmmyHildy: Ginny and the twins. The castle, spring break, "mischief." (7 sentences)

“C’mon Ginny, you know you want to stay here with us over break,” Fred said with a grin.

“We’ve got plans,” said George, in a way that made Ginny feel the need to stock up on medical supplies.

“I promised Mum I’d help her with -“

“She’ll manage,” the twins said in unison.

“And besides,” George added, leaning forward over his breakfast, “Harry’s staying, too.”

Ginny looked down the Gryffindor table to where Harry, Ron and Hermione had just settled in, discussing something urgently in hushed tones. She sighed, nodded, and said, “Would you hand me a quill? I need to owl Mum.”


@theonecorey: Mal Reynolds, Simon Tam. A companion training house, rotisserie chicken. (19 sentences)

Mal’s surprised bark of laughter rang out across the marbled halls of the training house like the crack of a gunshot.

“Son, you look as well-cooked as a chicken on a spit,” he said, forcing the words out past his continued chuckles.

Simon raised a hand to rub awkwardly at his neck, then drew it away with a grimace. “It seems I fell asleep on the grounds by the lake,” he said. “Why didn’t anyone come to wake me?”

“Ain’t your keeper, doc. And I figured I’d hear your well-heeled screams for help if anything called for a gun hand.”

Simon frowned, then made a small noise of discomfort. “I’ll just go and fetch my dermal regenerator, that should take care of the worst of it-"

“Aw doc,” Mal said, putting a hand to his chest in mock outrage. “Are you sure you should be using our scant med supplies for a  non-emergency situation?”

Simon hesitated, seemingly torn between his responsibility to his patients and the intense uncomfortableness resulting from a long afternoon snoozing in the desert sun.

“Oh, Simon, there you are!” Kaylee called from the far end of the hall. “Inara found that aloe gel I told you ‘bout. Why don’t you settle down and let me rub some on your poor shoulders?”

Simon flushed an even darker shade of red, and Mal let a slow smile spread across his face. He made a shooing motion with one hand and settled back in his chair, putting his boots up on the rickety antique table in front of him.

“Well go on, then,” Mal said, still grinning. “Even the good doctor occasionally needs seeing to.”


@_SydneyReeves_: Mickey Smith, Rory Williams, a bar outside London. "You think THAT'S bad..." (5 sentences)

“Just swoops in out of the sky, big blue box and a leather jacket, how am I supposed to compete with that?” Mickey grumbles, staring down into his pint glass. “Was like I turned invisible the moment he showed up.”

Rory shrugs, he gave up trying to compete with the Doctor somewhere between vampire fish women and waking up as a Roman. “Invisible, that’s one I’ve never been, but I was plastic once, for a bit.”

“No way, me too!”


@LAOuimet: Rose Tyler, Kara Thrace, Delphi Museum, Arrow of Apollo. (5 sentences)

The tour guide wandered away from the glass case, leading the rest of the tourists along behind her like a mama bird leading her chicks, with only Kara remaining behind, hoping for a chance to see the arrow without a dozen sticky-fingered children in the way.

“Apparently this arrow was used to save mankind,” said a blonde girl Kara was sure hadn’t been there before.

“I know the legend,” Kara said, bristling under the woman’s bright grin. “Apollo used this arrow, the last in his quiver, to pin the sun the in the sky before it could turn Kobol into a cinder, and it’s one of only a handful of artifacts that made the trip to the Twelve Colonies.”

“Fantastic story,” the blonde girl said, “but not what I meant.”


@EmmyHildy: Hulk/Jan, rooftop, "loneliness." (5 sentences)

“Hank is a giant jerk,” Jan said miserably. She kicked off the overpriced, uncomfortable heels she had bought exclusively for tonight’s date-that-wasn’t with a bit more force than was probably necessary.

“Hulk smash?” Hulk asked hopefully.

“Maybe later,” Jan sighed, and settled next to him beside the rooftop pool, dragging her toes through the water. “Can I have a hug instead?”


@EmmyHildy: Hawkeye & Hulk, watching sports, "bros." (5 sentences)

“Don’t forget the nachos!” Clint called. Natasha didn’t even turn to glare, just gave him the finger over her shoulder as she sauntered down the hall toward the kitchen.

“Nachos?” Hulk asked, trying to scoop chips out of a bowl smaller than one of his hands.

“Snacks are crucial for maximum World Series enjoyment, buddy,” Clint said, taking pity on Hulk and dumping the bowl of chips out onto the table. “As is - yeah, there’s the beer, finally, geez Thor, did you fly home to Asgard for that six-pack?”


@EmmyHildy: Steve/Tony, Tony's garage, "time spent well." (5 sentences)

Steve Rogers is a busy man. Not nearly so busy as Tony, who seems to view sleep as an option for lesser mortals and gets irritable when he’s not working on at least seven things at once, but there are obligations and duties that go along with being Captain America beyond the occasional world-saving.

Some of them are annoying, or embarrassing, and Steve still gets tongue-tied when called to give speeches if he hasn’t practiced with note cards, but he enjoys getting to meet people and feels slightly awed that so many of them want to meet him.

But the quiet afternoons he spends in Tony’s garage, handing him tools and watching him tinker with engines or pieces of the armor, are far and away his favorite. And he knows, from the way Tony pushes up his grease-smeared goggles and grins at him over the scattered bits of machinery spread across the workbench, that they’re Tony’s favorite too.



Thanks again for playing, everyone! I'm hoping to make this a regular thing, either when I'm stuck on a longer story or when I'm bored at work. It's good exercise.

Drabble post

I wanted to compile all the little drabbles I wrote today on Tumblr in one post, so here you go!


@emmyhildy: Thor and Damon meet in Chicago. Damon is looking for Stefan and Thor is on an Avengers mission.

” -and then he says he’s never coming back, as if I’m just going to let him wander off with Klaus the invincible psycho killer, especially when it was mostly my fault he signed on to be that nutjob’s bestest buddy, well, mine and that stupid werewolf,” Damon rambles, a bit of his drink sloshing over the edge of his glass as he waves his arms around.

Thor has been unable to follow most of Damon’s tale, but the theme of it strikes a chord, so he raises his glass and when Damon follows suit he says, “Let us toast to our lost brothers, my friend. May they find their way home one day soon.”


@positivelyb: Prompting myself like a boss: Damon Salvatore/Tony Stark, fireplace.

Alaric walks into the den to find Damon calmly sipping brandy in front of the fire with Tony Stark’s corpse at his feet. Damon shrugged off Alaric’s deep sigh and said, “He kept pestering me, Ric, now stop making that face and pour two more glasses.”

When Damon grinned over his shoulder and added, “It’s just like our first date,” Alaric couldn’t help but grin back.


@WymsyWynx: Tony Stark/Worf on a cruise ship.

“Worf, my man, you have got to unclench before you strain something,” Tony said, and refilled Worf’s glass.

“I know you’re not much for willowy models, but Natasha - you met Natasha, right? - she’s got an ex-Marine friend who just took the title in a women’s wrestling league.”

Tony grinned around his glass and said, “Am I the best wing man, or am I the best wing man ever?”


@vladmech: Could I get Nightwing and Oracle in a western setting? :)

She had to sell the family farm after the worst night of her life, the one that took her legs, her family, and nearly took her life. Running this bar isn’t the same as being on the farm; for one, the cows never mocked her when their food was late. But it’s hers, by god, bought in blood and built on stubbornness, and if it’s the shotgun that lays on the pillow next to her most nights rather than a certain wayward marshall, no one has to know but her.


@crystalmage: Charles and Erik. ABOARD THE ENTERPRISE. Go. ;)

Next to him Charles stood gobsmacked, staring around the brightly-lit room with eyes wide as saucers. Erik felt the pull of every piece of metal inside the - ship? were they on a ship? - and reached for the calm, stable place inside himself before his confusion and unease could start  pulling apart all the shiny, blinking work stations.

But then the blond captain with the smirk zeroed in on Charles and the floor started to shake under their feet.


That was fun! Let's do that again some time.

True love, and other moral quandries

In which I pick apart characters on The Vampire Diaries to talk about love, power, and relationship dynamics. If you don't watch that show, or don't want to listen to me prattle on about it, move along, move along. I should also mention that I say some disparaging things about Damon. Don't kill me, okay? I still love him and think he's a great, complex character. But some days he makes it as easy to hate him as it is to love him.

Also, if you haven't seen 2x19 "Klaus" then for the love of god, go watch it already! I'll wait. Are you back? Wasn't it AWESOME? Moving on!
Spoilers, sweetie.Collapse )

I want this show to run for about eight seasons because holy CRAP it makes me ramble and write. I may need to send the writers' room a muffin basket.

Resolutions

This year, my resolutions will be small and manageable. Well, to the rest of the world, anyway. Sometimes they feel very large to me.

But anyway, here they are:

1. Cook more. Be healthier, save money.
2. Write more.
3. Date more.
4. Go out more.

The first one I'm starting on right now. While I was home for Christmas, my mom helped me make a binder with easy, quick recipes in it. I'm headed out to the grocery store RIGHT NOW to buy things for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's crock pot adventure.

Wish me luck!

NaNoWriMo 2010

Who's got two thumbs and is doing NaNo this year? This bitch!

I'm really excited about my story because it lets me use three of my favorite areas of knowledge: Christian dogma, con artists, and abnormal psychology.

Basically, the plot boils down to this: Lucifer gets trapped on Earth in a corporeal form with rapidly-declining powers. He has to race against the clock to find out who stranded him here and why, and kick their asses before he's too weak to defend himself. Along the way he runs into useless Satanists, a crack team of con artists, and his always annoying younger brother Michael.

The funny thing is, as I struggle to define who MY Lucifer is (his powers, his personality, his personal brand of sociopathy), I find that it's a lot like writing fanfic for an extremely popular character. After all, the Bible IS the biggest selling book of all time. But the only one who would sue me for copyright infringement would be God, so I guess I'm okay. If I get struck by lightning sometime this month, though, you'll all know why.

I still haven't decided on a name for my female lead, though. I'm down to Anne, Anna, Marie, or Tahlia. Any ideas? Keep in mind that this is not her given name, but one she picked for herself after she became a thief.

I may need to buy earplugs if I want to write in my apartment, though. My roommate is currently having sex again, and I really didn't need to know that apparently she and her girlfriend are fans of spanking. Ugh.

Insert witty subject line here

While I wanted my first actual post "back" to be a change from my usual bitchery, oops, what are you gonna do?

I live in a small 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment in Los Angeles. The third bedroom is actually a loft, situated above the living room. The two full-sized bedrooms, of which I have the larger, sit at the other end of the apartment and share a wall. This will matter later.

Less than two weeks ago (holy crap, it hasn't even been two weeks yet? ARGH) my LA bestie Laura moved out of our apartment and went back up north to go back to school. I moved into her room, and our newest roommate, Brittany, moved into my old room. Natasha, who lives in the loft, has become a really good friend in the few months she's lived here, and before Laura left, the three of us were really tight. We went on IKEA excursions together, out to bars together, and had crafts/Halo nights. Natasha and I were really hoping that the new roommate would be, if not a replacement (there's no replacement for Laura), a least a new friend.

It's been ten days. That's not gonna happen.

Werewolf Big Bang

Apparently there's a Werewolf Big Bang challenge, and Laura's doing it, and like most things, she's bullying me into doing it too. Peer pressure, man, it's a bitch.

I'm thinking about doing something from Ava 'verse, probably pre-series, and most likely Ben/Daniel. Now, if you're not familiar with my big, epic, mostly unwritten series, Ava's my immortal narrator, and two members of her crew are Ben (the werewolf) and Daniel (the vampire). Also, Ben and Daniel are in love. Because I love backstory for all my characters, I know lots of things about them that will probably never make it into the actual books. There may be references to past events, but you will never see the full details of so many awesome and cool things that happen to the characters before they meet Ava. So, this would be a chance to play around in my favorite world and write something that would otherwise not see the light of day.

And here's where you guys come in. I'd like to know which of the following sounds most interesting, or that you would most like to read.

1. Ben and Daniel's first meeting (also includes the first time they have sex). I'm interested in this one myself, because the club they meet at is so cool, and I'd have a great time fleshing it out. The only drawback is that I am TERRIBLE at writing sex scenes (gee, I wonder why) and that might be a story killer.

2. How Ben's dad died. Ben's parents were werewolves, so it fits the prompt, and it's a cool (also, very sad) story that sets up the origin of Ben's pack, and how his mom came to own a bar called The Silver Bullet.

3. When Ben's sister has her babies. Ben's step-sister Samantha is (you guessed it) also a werewolf, and as the concept of werewolf babies came to be hugely important to me for no real reason at all, it's a story that has some draw. I'd get to show some of the werewolf facts I've made up, do some good family drama, and plus, BABIES. Doesn't everybody love babies? Also: Daniel with babies, which would be as hilarious as it would be adorable.

4. The first case with Ava. I actually have no idea what this would be. I sort of know how Ava met Daniel, which was before he was with Ben, and in a different city, so technically, she wasn't even Ava then. This would be the first time Actual Ava worked on something with Ben and Daniel, and how they all narrowly avoided being horribly killed/maimed.

I suppose I could be really hella depressing and write future fic where Ben dies, but holy crap I don't want to do that. I love those boys! I want to pretend that Ava finds a spell or a magic amulet for Ben so that he can live forever and the three of them can keep being badass and saving the world for the next thousand years.

Go ahead and cast your votes in the comments. Feel free to let me know if they all suck, or if there's something else you're just dying to see me write about werewolves. Also, just for the record: werewolves DO NOT have werewolf babies. I know you were wondering.
