A/N: Wow. It feels so weird to be writing this stuff again. But this small (and very dark) plot bunny hopped up, and wouldn't hop away. I've also never quite written anything in this format before, so... whoo. Thanks to overlimits and fanged_angel for looking this over for me, and encouraging me to post it.

Hi there!

All fanfiction and general fanwork will be public; the rest of my posts, the ones pertaining to my personal life, will be friends-only. Now, that isn't saying much, given that I neglect this poor journal far more than I should. But if you'd still like to be in on the schtick, leave me a comment and we're probably good. Unless you're a bot, we have nothing in common, or both. :)

I don't usually do this (Xmas cards aren't traditional in Italy, unless you're giving someone a present) but I've seen a few folks on the F-list engaging in it and I wanted to return the love. :)

So, leave your address at this post (all comments will be of course screened) should you like to receive a card from Il Bel Paese, lol.

GOOD TIDINGS TO ALL! :D

My first time attempting a 221B (for those who don't know, 221 words, the last one starting with B).
I know it's ridiculously soppy, but I'd had a bad day and really needed something cosy. (Also, I dare you not to be soppy when you're listening to Explosions In The Sky. Best band for feels.) 

Courteously britpicked by the very lovely epanaphoric. Apparently, even in a couple hundred words, "there's always something". Also overlimits, as ever giver of confidence boosts.


( under the cut )

Yeeeah. The hiatuses grow ever longer. I ought to remedy that.

Instead, I just changed my blurb and renewed the icon-park, probably causing half of the old ones to glitch/disappear. Oops?

I'll fix it when I don't feel like hell on legs when I have time.

Also, wow. Lots of things appear to have changed. I'm not loving the new Friends Page. >> *immediately reverted to old one* Damn you, LJ.

Welp. I haven't written in this journal for months, and when I do it's to post fic? Oh well. Could be worse.

This is the very first ficlet I've written in Sherlock fandom-- I don't usually wait so long before charging through, but I love these characters so much, I almost have a reverential fear of trying to capture them in words. I hope I didn't fail completely.

Rating: PG
Summary: John goes back to 221B to try and start dealing with the mess Sherlock left behind. Things don't go so well.
A/N: Beta'd and britpicked by the lovely Alice. All remaining mistakes are mine.
Wordcount: 1312

( I used to live alone before I knew you. )

I suppose I'm late to the party, but I've finally been lured over to Dreamwidth. It took me a while to get it to work, it's still not as cool-tweaked as Livejournal (oh how I mourn for custom moodthemes), but it's ad-free and grants me a whole lot of icon space.

I'm not abandoning Livejournal, of course, but it's likely that I'll more and more often write from DW and crosspost it to LJ. So just in case any of you has a Dreamwidth account and wants to follow me there as well, this is the address:

Toodles!

Rating: R
Pairing: Kinn, mentions of Finchel and Klaine
Spoilers: Up to 3x12, "The Spanish Teacher"; later events not taken into account.
Summary:  "Hygiene is important, Finn! Cleanliness is next to godliness, and all the rest of the similar stuff I’d be spouting at you if I did in fact believe in it!" --Written for a prompt from the lovely epanaphoric that literally said "Kurt teaches Finn how to wash down there". I kid you not. It started out as a joke, and turned into 9 pages in Word. Look at my life, look at my choices.
A/N: Unbetaed, so all mistakes are fully mine. Also, I had a really hard time finishing this fic, due to the fact my Glee muses seem to have gone on holiday, and it looks as if they'll be there for a while, unless the upcoming episodes are somehow completely amazing. I have exam sessions coming up, but beyond that, I just can't seem to feel the characters anymore. :( It's sad, but they've kept me company for a couple of amazing years, so I have no regrets. Regardless of whether I will write other Gleefics or not, I hope you enjoy this one! <3

( Because sometimes, pamphlets aren't enough. )

Hmmm, random entry is random, but. As those of you who are acquainted with my Tumblr might now, I have recently taken an obsession interest in Santana/Sebastian interactions, and have been taking prompts and consequently writing drabbles about them... this one turned out about 1300 words, and thus falls, IMHO, more in the ficlet zone than the drabble one-- ergo, I thought it might be somewhat worthy of LJ honors. ;)

Here's the (thus far untitled) ficlet, and for those of you who watch Glee: is this ship even known, much less liked, outside of Tumblr? Let me know!

( Prompt: "Sebastian wants to go public with their relationship but Santana isn’t ready." )

Wow, I can't believe I finally got this out. It's been... forever since the last instalment. Here's to hoping any of you still remember this little "experiment", and that this new chapter doesn't disappoint. Thank you for sticking with me if you did! :)

( I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been )

Here it is - the first part of this somewhat intimidating plot bunny. I've never written anything quite like this, so... it's a bit of an on-the-road adventure for me too.
