china_shop: Guo Changcheng writing in his notebook (Guardian - rookie taking notes)
Clearing tabs today, I found a drabble prompt [personal profile] mergatrude left for me, oh, 4½ months ago? /o\ And impulse-wrote a drabble:

Guo Changcheng /& Chu Shuzhi, canon AU, G-rated, tragically lacking in cute shippiness, for the prompt "Can we turn on the lights?"

(I'll post it to AO3 once a title presents itself. ;-p)

(I need more Changcheng icons!)

ETA: I cheated. Or... is it cheating to use the prompt as a title? Anyway. Can we turn on the lights? (AO3)

Crack. Possibly unrequited Neal/Elizabeth(/Peter), who even knows, I mean it's only 100w.

( Temptation )
china_shop: Cruiseliner crack (Cruiseliner crack)
200 words, mergatrude and me, Cruiseliner fannish Mary-Sue metafic, with allusions to an animatronic llama called Albuquerque.

( In which the solution is obvious, but also not really a solution )

Also, I was going through my WIPs folder and found this unfinished cruiseliner ficlet from 2014, which still seems highly relevant...

( I light the last candle in the circle... )
china_shop: Close-up of Zhao Yunlan grinning (Default)
300 words, P/E/N, PG-13. Post-anklet (not canon compliant), post-first-time.

( everything she wants )

Is anyone else finding Gmail to be extremely crappy atm? It keeps saving drafts that I've already sent, so my threads are confusing, and taking ages to refresh, and IDK. Maybe it's using all its energy on the suckfest that is Hangouts. *grumpy*

(Also, if anyone can recommend an easy/convenient Gchat-like thing, please do! I really really miss the little green, orange and red dots.)

So, after I posted yesterday's drabble, I had some doubts and over-thinking and took it down again. I think it suffers from my not actually being in the fandom. But here it is for completeness anyway.

( MCU. Sam/Steve domestic fluff. )

And here's today's:

( White Collar. P/E/N. )

This is kind of a cheat because it's an adaptation of some story notes I made years ago, but today is busy: a film festival movie and then two consecutive drama clubs.

Double drabble: Captain America/Temeraire crossover. 200 words, G-rated.

( This must be Asgard )
china_shop: Slightly cartoony pic of Neal and Mozzie sitting at Neal's table with coffee cups (WC - Neal/Moz comic)
My writing's been completely stuck lately. I'm theoretically working on two stories (one White Collar, one Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, both tropey), but I get lost in media consumption and barely open the Word docs. The most fun I've had writing in the last few months was for the Multifandom Drabble Exchange, so I've decided to try writing a drabble a day for a week, to see if that helps to shake something loose.

Here's today's.

( Want to Bet? (Neal & Moz, pre-Neal/Peter) )
