home again

Back home! Mildly exhausted, and living in that weird place where I want to organize my thoughts and talk about important, interesting things, but everything is coming out a jumble because I want to do everything all at once. Right now I expect that all I am up to is going through my billion accumulated tabs -- I am so delighted with Firefox's new tab grouping feature, seriously, it is the first 'improvement' in ages that is actually an improvement -- and reading a backlog of fic. I'm being utterly rubbish about replying to comments right now, but I think I can live with that.

I have a laughably huge pile of books to read, about half of them borrowed from Olivia. Seriously, the stack may fall over at any moment. I am also very tempted to rewatch all the Harry Potter films before going to see Deathly Hallows 2 in a few days; I would be tempted to reread the books, except ... no. Not in two days. I would drown in FEELINGS.

Oof, my brain really is a jumble. I suspect this post isn't actually as disjointed as it feels to me, but even so. Um, besides FEELINGS I also have a ridiculous mental list of WIPs? To make this post less scattered I will make the mental list an actual list, mostly for my own reference.

01. Demon's Lexicon; untitled Nick/Alan: What it says on the tin. Olivia let me adopt this story, actually; it's about Anzu propositioning Nick, and what Nick does, and how Nick and Alan deal with it, and I am trying very hard to not be spoilery about Surrender here. Basically, I would happily write Alan forever.

02. Demon's Lexicon; untitled Market poly: Again what it says on the tin! Um, basically this has Jamie/Seb, Jamie/Nick, Nick/Mae, Mae/Sin, Sin/Alan, and Nick/Alan, and it the story of how I am a bit anxious with the endgame pairings but think they could all work it out if they were in a complex poly family.

03. due South; Neutral Zone: The F/K/V s2 AU. This fic is from forever ago, but I actually have substantial amounts of it written, I love it a whole lot, and I want to finish it. I may have to rewatch bits of due South in order to do so, but this is ... really not any kind of hardship.

04. Highlander; Look on My Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair: The Methos fic! I have two fifths of it written, anyway, and I love it to pieces. SOMEDAY I WILL VANQUISH IT.

05. Thor; Ragnarok (the semi-untitled Sigyn sequel): Also what it says on the tin! In which Darcy and Loki bring about the end of the world.

06. Thor; untitled genderfluid Loki: I am not sure if this fic is an excuse to write fun gender politics while disguising itself as a fic about Loki fucking with the Avengers, or if this fic is an excuse to write Loki/EVERYONE while disguising itself as a fic about Loki's gender identity. I suspect the answer is BOTH.

Those are my more insistent projects, anyway. We shall see!

Fics number 1 through 6 ALL sound amazing, although especially -- um, actually no, I can't even say there's one in specific that has me the most flaily.

(...if you want me to get off my ass and actually send you beta-y comments on that second part of Look On My Works, I can actually do so. I am just occasionally a horrible person when it comes to being anything remotely resembling timely. Um.)

Oh, travel brain.

I AM EXCITED FOR ALL THESE FICS, especially #5 because Sigyn took my brain hostage. Buut even though I know nothing about Demon's Lexicon I will READ THOSE ANYWAY.

everything is full of tasty moral ambiguity, and my favorite character is a lying liar that loves his brother to pieces

OKAY! I usually try to be careful about spoilers, and the Demon's Lexicon fandom at large doesn't really seem to be so large and in-your-face that I won't be able to avoid them :P

Speaking as a person who read the first book fully aware of the big reveal, IT IS STILL AMAZING.

Obviously my reaction to the due South and Thor stories are YES YES YES.
