enwrapt up in books

which is ungrammatical, but the best you'll get from me at this date and time. XD

Christmas was lovely, New Years low key and mostly amusing. Nice (though tiring) time with various bits of family, and tomorrow we're back off to southern CA for another almost week in which I turn older and hopefully soak up some sun, fingers crossed and weather willing.

Small thoughts, varied and sundry:

If you haven't seen Ocean's 13, be heartened, for it is more like 11 and gleefully distanced from 12. Danny and Rusty are... so Danny and Rusty, it makes my heart glad (and full of fic bunnies, but that's not really new).

Upon rewatching the third Pirates, I remember why I enjoyed it, and why I am so happy that fahye "fixed" it with turn your sail (never say we die).

yuletide has come and gone (again) leaving multiple fascinating fics; I am forever amazed at how spot-on the characterizations and voices in each fic is. Glad to know that there is an audience who glories in Who Framed Roger Rabbit fic as much as I do. Also, if you are the only person who hasn't read this, go read The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down because it is the brilliant ficcish child of the movie.

Because the author reveal is official, I can point you to my two fics. I wrote a Something Wicked This Way Comes story that walked a much darker path than I meant: Beat, Pause, and Beat. Also, I pinch hit an amusing Eureka romp, Early Bird Special, which makes me want to write and read more Eureka fic. I will be posting them on this journal as well and linking them to my Big List of Fic (called Flya.fic in my sidebar, I'm so clever) so apologies for the spam.

It's almost time for the world to start back up again (I don't have to "be" anywhere until I sub on the 9th) which is too soon. But what do you do.

I hope that all of you had and are having a lovely holiday, and especially doubly and triply so for capedcrusader92 and indy_go, who had birthdays. Huzzah, Capricorns!

Fic: Beat, Pause, and Beat (Something Wicked This Way Comes; Jim and Will; PG-13)

Title: Beat, Pause, and Beat
Fandom: Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
Word Count: 2,002
Summary: We do not remain the children we once were. Except when we do.
Warning: vague references to abortion, parental death
Notes: Written for saxony in yuletide. Her prompt was, "The carnival returns when the boys are on the verge of adulthood. The temptations are different this time." I had this really cool idea, about how the boys would fight against a new carnival master, with maybe some sweet J/W in there, but instead, this came out, a little dark, a little twisted, but lots of fun just the same. Enjoy! Title comes from a line of poetry by Bradbury: My veins are glass, my heart the merest whim/ Of beat and pause and beat. Enjoy!

Fic: Early Bird Special (Eureka; Jack and Nathan; PG-13)

Title: Early Bird Special
Fandom: Eureka
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Jack and Nathan
Word Count: 1,170
Summary: Life in a day.
Notes: Written as a pinch hit for BlackEyedGirl in yuletide, who wanted Jack and Nathan and Eureka oddness. Ta-da! I fixed a few word mistakes that I didn't catch before uploading the first time, if it looks different. Man, I think I've found a new fandom to write *facepalm*

Kick off your Sunday shoes (metaphorically or otherwise)

Back at the parents, though Dad is once again on the other coast until tomorrow. Oh, the jet-setting that is the grownups of Flyakate. I finally posted my fic (instead of last night, because it was already 1:30 and I needed to do dishes before we left and wanted to make changes and blahblah you get the picture), so go read them if you like. In the next bit, I plan to do little more than make cleaning type motions around my room (again, vicious cycle, that) and perhaps catch up on the backlog of my reading of jack_and_ellis by copperbadge. If steampunk is your thing, or awesome fanstasy world building adventures, go look! I might make an "official" rec (ooh, I haven't done my rec triad in a while *makes note*) with links to the chapters, because he doesn't have them in order, which requres slightly more work.

So good day so far, although I am much le tired. *flops on bed*
