that's crazy talk

Wow. I was sitting here humming Belle and Sebastian's "Fox in the Snow" and just realized that somewhere in there it had turned into an improvisational little number to the same tune: "Moose on a Jew."

Also, I had my meeting at the Korean embassy, had some more tutoring fun, and get to go back to the embassy and get my passport back tomorrow. So hopefully then I'll be about to work out the details of actually getting shipped over to Korea itself.

...I wonder if it'll be before or after Thao Nguyen comes to DC.

Still owe people House fic, still gleefully enjoying a Firefly binge. I'll get there, I swear!

The Shit I've Writ: July Edition

July wordcount: 9,559
2008 wordcount: 64,776

In Anger (House/Wilson; R; 1,600 words)
For an rsl_bday_drive donor who wanted fic dealing with the aftermath of Postern. Pretty much an excuse to look into the darker side of the House/Wilson friendship, poke around with House's childhood, and throw Egypt trivia around, but I'm okay with that.

Clean Slate (Dead Poets Society: Neil/Todd; R; 1,860 words)
New Years Resolution prompt: "the exploration of a form of art other than theatre or poetry." I love writing these boys, especially Neil's POV, since every single Neil/Todd fic I've ever seen is from Todd's.

Waking Hours (Firefly: River/Simon; R; 721 words)
Somehow, I managed to forget how much I adore this show and the weirdly incestuous Simon/River dynamic. Since he's given up everything to save her, she tries to show appreciation in her own off-kilter way. Gratuitous but mild Nabokov-quoting.

Well-Heeled (The Devil Wears Prada: Andy/Emily; NC-17; 602 words)
I just don't get why everyone's all about the Andy/Miranda. Emily's snooty, bitter, and rife with potential for hatesex.

Ephemera
(Stardust movie: Captain Shakespeare/Humphrey; NC-17; 708 words)
I had to. Because Captain Shakespeare winks at Humphrey during the wedding at the end of the movie. And Humphrey totally doesn't seem to mind it. Unless anyone can prove otherwise, this is what happened next.

Navigation (Firefly: Simon/Inara; R; 431 words)
Simon gets a massage and Inara gets introspective. These two really didn't interact enough on the show, but it was beautiful when they did. I think I want to delve into that some more.

Morphometrics (Firefly: River/Simon; R; 519 words)
Because I wanted to write about River's downward spiral, which happens completely offscreen. Heavily influenced by the R. Tam Sessions.

Under
(Firefly: Mal/Simon; NC-17; 2,386 words (half the total wordcount))
nakeno and me. Writing smut. Again. Semi-public sex never gets old.

Round Two
(Firefly: Simon/River; R; 732 words)
Twisted, honestly.
