How to Navigate This Journal!

Hey up, this is just a journal where I dump fanfic, you can browse the tags to find what you like. Thing is, this is my *secondary* journal in case Livejournal suddenly realises I put tonnes of porn up on there, so this is the best way to navigate the bedlam I have unleashed:

Most of my fic can be navigated through my (big old list of fic) on Livejournal, *particularly* the older fic which really hasn't been migrated over here in any sensible fashion. By fandom, you can find:

(Glee), Kurt/Blaine

(Musketeers (2014)) multishipped but often Aramis/Athos/Porthos

(Good Omens (TV)) Crowley/Aziraphale you might want to navigate by the tags rather than memories because Livejournal has changed its memories function and I can't technology so I'm just very confused by it now? Help.

Anyway, you're very welcome here and thank you for taking the time to read anything =) I have a strict no wank policy because I am just so very tired, so please contemplate the necessity of what you've typed if you want to start anything with me or any other commenter on here. If you want to bring anything up with me in private because you'd rather it wasn't public that's absolutely cool, I write about some pretty heavy stuff sometimes, I know not everyone wants to talk about that publicly.

On anonymous commenters: If there's a very obvious reason you're writing anonymously - one of those heavy subjects I mentioned - that's cool and fine and I respect absolutely why you maybe don't want your name attached to that. Otherwise, I don't respond to anonymous comments, I don't like the weird power imbalance online anonymity creates. If you don't have a Dreamwidth account just leave a name or initial on your comment so I know I'm talking to a particular person and I'll respond, but if you leave no name I won't reply, sorry, I've just had too many people use anonymity to be a dick over the years so now I have a 'no name no response' policy, I hope you understand <3

Stupid exorcist fic: I made it and now I'm stuck with it

The Golem of Paris, a men in hats fic set in the stupid exorcist AU. I asked Niitza for creepy French tales to use in this 'verse and as we talked it turns out there isn't a French golem story, and so of course I immediately wanted to write one. What I wanted to write was nothing like this, but that is why writers love the golem story so much.

Rating: R for violence, largely off-screen but pretty bad.

Disclaimer: I don't own the golem myth either, but then the things you own tend to get out of your hands before you know it.

Warnings/spoilers: Always refer to part one, this part is mostly bad for violence, sorry!

Summary: If we knew what our golems would end up doing, we may never have made a golem, nor anything else at all.

Stupid exorcist fic: risen for Hallowe'en, woooo . . .

Cradle to the Grave, a men in hats short set in the stupid exorcist AU. I know I owe comment replies, I'm really sorry, and an end to the sodding affinityverse on top of it all; heavy workload right now, which means I'm in quite a lot of pain, and I really am just sulking with fic -_- (Plus, Hallowe'en. When else am I going to update *this* fic?)

Rating: I'm gonna say very light R but disproportionately disturbing for that rating?

Disclaimer: Unless ownership of the characters is being handed for out for a trick or treat, I don't own them, no.

Warnings/spoilers: Always refer to part one, but this part has bad things happening to very young children in it and that is really super disturbing and I am very aware of that and really really don't read it if you don't want to read that really seriously okay thanks <3

Summary: "We're driving through a thousand corpses, with only time between us."

Stupid exorcist fic: it lives!

The Day Shift, a men in hats short set in the stupid exorcist AU. I felt the need to write this despite being exactly one (1) (I) (only one more than zero) fic away from finishing the affinityverse, and now you know everything you need to know about how my brain works.

Rating: NC-17 for violence. That shit needs to be rated way higher than porn does.

Disclaimer: I don't even own enough willpower to finish one damn fic at a time.

Warnings/spoilers: Always refer to part one, but this part has some really nasty gore in it (Hallowe'en month anyone?) so if you are not good with blood, really, it's not for you. I can write a summary of what you need to know in the next part promise <3

Summary: The worst part of the best damn job in France.

PDFs!

RAINJOY WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN well actually it's coming up to term starting so I've been a lot more busy, but also if I'm honest I've just been down the Twin Peaks rabbit hole for weeks, thinking and thinking and rewatching and thinking and telling myself that this of all things I am not allowed to fic (I think I ship Cooper/Albert help why??). It's been really weird grappling with it because I just watch it in a sort of fascinated *despair*, that I'll never, never be able to write anything like that, and I've never faced that in television before because TV had reached the point of greatness of the nineteenth-century novel, before this; brilliant and all when done well but we who have the page as our domain just have more tricks in our box, and so you don't have to feel threatened by it. But now we are *way* past the nineteenth-century novel and hell I'll never write *anything* like that, and just, yeah, I've been thinking, a lot.

So, in actually relevant news that you come here for, who likes PDFs \o/ Because if you'd rather read my fic that way, PenguinLoki (I don't know if you have a journal to link to?) has made some PDFs for you because you know I'd never get around to it while I stare into space and mumble about Laura being The One. I am very grateful for their help given my incompetence in this area <3

So you can download a box set of men in hats fic here, or select your individual fics to read here. I think they're up to date, but I'm finally ready to proof, format and post the next affinityverse piece so there's that to add to the pile . . . ;)

I'll add them to a sticky note of all my fic on here when I ever, ever get around to sorting out all my fic on here. Until then, thank you everybody for your patience, and PenguinLoki for their patience-and-fic-wrangling combo, and I will be with you shortly, and go careful, for the owls are not what they seem <3

Meta post

This is a really weird post I never thought I would write, and I don't know if it will help matters or not, but it's something I can't get past and I got jarred into really badly again this morning reading a post about the Google discriminatory-email-fired-douchebag case, and now I *really* feel like I can't get past it. This has been tormenting me since the episode aired, and so this is basically a very long discussion of canon, and how fanon ignores canon, and a fact about canon I *can't* ignore, we *shouldn't* ignore. The post I was reading was arguing that white men claiming a right to air the political view that women and PoC shouldn't get hired by tech firms because they're not as good as white men are abusers, what they are doing is abuse, because abuse is a belief that you are entitled to certain things at the expense of other people (white men feeling they are entitled to be judged by lower standards, only against other white men, and not the rest of us, and they're entitled to make our work environment toxic to get what they feel entitled to; it was a good article, but I felt so ill with reading it I had to stop quarter of the way in).

And what it brought back to me, again, was the fact that I go through periods of writer's block in this fandom because I can't - I refuse to - get past a certain point of canon: Porthos is presented to us, in canon, as an abuser. And I am so angry at the character that I have difficulty now in writing him even in situations where I've given the character enough difference in situation that *that* character doesn't act like that; it still feels like condoning the abuse, saying somehow that it's not his fault, that it's *okay* to abuse people. It's not. Every new verse I've started in this fandom for a while (none of them has been posted yet) has either not featured Porthos at all or moved him into so minor a role that I can largely avoid him, because I can't write him as a good person when he isn't presented to us as a good person. I am struggling through finishing the affinityverse (it soothes me some to know that if affinityverse!Porthos met canon!Porthos, he would *hate* him, and they might come as far as physical blows; that verse was started long before we found out in canon who Porthos really is), but I really long for the relief of just not dealing with the character anymore. Below the cut will be a really lengthy discussion of canon evidence - nothing more, all of this is there onscreen to see - of Porthos' behaviour. If you don't want to read it, fine. I just want it out in fandom because it doesn't seem to be there that if you have been treated the way Porthos treats Aramis, it is *not your fault*, what was done to you is *wrong*, and you deserve to be somewhere safe away from the abuser, you *deserve* that. You certainly don't deserve retraumatising every time someone says that what Porthos did is alright. It's not. That is not up for debate: you do not treat people like that, good people *do not do that*.

This will be long, and despairing. You can guess the content. Don't read it if you don't want to read that content.

Some discussion of coming to terms with one's own mortality in this one, the cheery thing I spent last year doing while they were trying to work out if whatever is wrong with me would kill me or not.

Stupid Exorcist Fic Sails Again

Talking to Strangers at Parties, a men in hats fic set in the stupid exorcist AU. Apparently this is where my brain is now, which makes sense because my health gets worse by the day and clearly I'd rather not face the affinityverse right now, yeah -_-;

Rating: R?? I don't know, it's not for kids but hell neither is the real world.

Disclaimer: While this election's at it they could nationalise creative property, then we wouldn't have to write disclaimers anymore. Alas.

Warnings/spoilers: Always refer to part one, but everything to do with vampires in this universe is to do with *vampires*, and the metaphors we use them for; violence, sex, sexual violence, consent and the lack of it, addiction, some generally pretty nasty stuff. There is in this part a description of a past violent sexual assault, but not enormously graphic.

Summary: Around the walls, all around the room, are little huddles of people with drinks, talking, eyeing the two of them as they walk in, ascertaining whether they're predator or prey.

Stupid Exorcist Fic Will Not Die

Drink and be Merry, a men in hats fic set in the stupid exorcist AU. You can tell what my typing rate is like when I post my 'Christmas' fic in April . . .

Disclaimer: If we're going to get all Mari Kondo about it, some of the things that spark joy aren't actually yours to begin with.

Warnings/spoilers: No real spoilers beyond vague references to S1 stuff - everything I do is written off S1 canon, btw, because I just can't fucking stand some of the characters beyond that point - and warnings-wise, refer to part one, but everything to do with vampires in this universe is to do with *vampires*, and the metaphors we use them for; violence, sex, sexual violence, consent and the lack of it, addiction, some generally pretty nasty stuff. So don't read unless you're feeling like it's something you're willing to deal with right now, bearing in mind that the world's a lot to deal with right now anyway.

Summary: Aramis thinks it's simple; Athos thinks that 'it's complicated' doesn't even begin to cover it.

Musketeers: stupid exorcist fic once more, with feeling

Oh god I still owe so many comment replies and messages and emails, I'm so sorry. My arms are *worse* and as my therapist points out, now I have loads of depressive symptoms as well, because all the stuff that I would normally do and which would make me feel less depressed (e.g. being in contact with people, enjoying my hobbies, carrying on life as normal), I *can't* do right now because my arms are buggered. But, in brief: I'm sorry I haven't been in touch. I really will try to get back to you at some point. And I will also finish the affinityverse piece once more waiting halfway done while I got this out of my system as soon as my arms allow. God, this is the sort of thing I used to get out in less than a week -_-;


The Exorcist's Apprentice, Musketeers fic, stupid exorcist fic.

Disclaimer: Just, really, it isn't mine, no.

Rating: Probably R; some violence though mostly off-screen, and a little gore.

Warnings: Shit can always be as disturbing as I promised on part one; vampires, grief, and at least a side-eye towards bestiality at one point if that really disturbs anyone (look, in this universe, at some point someone was going to look at Aramis and Porthos and *wonder*).

Summary: He knows, immediately, that he's never going home.
