MY RARELYWRITTEN GIFT IS BETTER THAN YOURS SO THERE

I’ve got a few recurring requests that I make in various fic exchanges, and sometimes I say to myself, Minutia, you should come up with new requests because it’s become clear that nobody is going to write those old ones. WELL, NOT TODAY, BITCHES! Somebody wrote me Elene/Damon/Josh from Downbelow Station and it is fucking glorious. It is everything I wanted from an Elene/Damon/Josh fic. (Well, except for actual threeway sex. That would be nice too. But if I had to choose I would pick what I got.)

Cherryh fandom has the best writers, I swear, I have never read a Cherryh fic that was not at least OK, and a lot of them are really, really good. This is one of the really, really good ones.

Also, since rarelywritten has no anon period, I can already tell you what I wrote, which is a story of Drou Koudelka, Cordelia and Gregor, as well as tea parties, political violence, child rearing, and social engineering.

And also also, the reveals for Space Swap Two happened. The story I wrote was for Calvin and Hobbes, and featured Calvin and Susie going on a space adventure together. For certain values of space adventure, and also together.

And I think I haven't mentioned on this journal yet, I got an absolutely gorgeous watercolor painting of the magical heart surgery scene from the Darkangel Trilogy.

And now I am seriously not signing up for any more exchanges, bangs, fests, or anything of that ilk until I finish the assignments that I've got.

Dear Fic Corner Scribbler,

Hello, there lovely person who is going to write a story in one of the fandoms I requested! Thank you so much, you are clearly awesome.

Please do not hesitate to ruin my childhood! (Actually I read most of these books for the first time as an adult; I just like kids’ books, okay.) I am also a dedicated multishipper, so if you want to include a pairing that I haven’t specifically asked for, it’ll be fine. I am not so keen on underage, though, so for the canons that have child characters I’d prefer if you aged them up if they are going to be doing anything more than holding hands and chaste kissing?

(Or you could write gen. I am totally cool with gen.)

I love crossovers, fusions, and canon-divergence AUs, but I don’t like mundane AUs of fantastical canons.

Okay, on to the prompts!

Here is what I got for fic corner:

A Sister's Love by flipflop_diva (Heroes of Olympus)

In which Nico really needs a hug and Bianca and Hazel give him one. My heart melted a little. Set during Mark of Athena, very slight allusions to sibling incest.

On a path, two travellers meet by Aeriel (Darkangel Trilogy)

Darkangel trilogy fic! Aeriel/Sabr! And also there is Roshka!

And here is what I wrote for fic corner:

The Village Witch's Ginger Hero for Jenn_Calaelen (Chronicles of Chrestomanci)

Featuring Marianne, Marianne's crush on Irene Yeldham, and the Folk.

The Wine Bowl for kristin (Chronicles of Prydain)

Mostly about Taran's love for pottery, but also could be described as the one where Eilonwy feeds the Argonauts laver bread.

Because Chrestomanci fandom is just too darn active nowadays, I've decided to have a go at a different completely-dead-except-for-Yuletide fandom.

No, actually, I recently read Meredith Ann Pierce's Darkangel Trilogy and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but if it is your kind of thing you will like it. That's an even less helpful statement than you might think, because it is unlike just about everything out there--for instance, despite what the packaging on the edition I read would have you believe, it is definitely not medievally vampire romance.

Anyway! In a series where women and the relationships between women are very prominent, I seem to have written slash between two dudes who never interact in canon. I feel like one of those misogynistic slash fangirls everyone always complains about. I am a bit embarrassed, but I'm not sorry.

Pilgrim's Road to Crystalglass

Fandom: Meredith Ann Pierce, Darkangel Trilogy

Pairing: Roshka/Irrylath

Rating: PG-13

Word count: 3,800

Summary: Some said the pilgrim's call had first gone out when the Aeriel arrived in Crystalglass. In truth, the call had come upon the world so gradually that no one could say for certain how it had started, only that they heard it now. Not a compulsion, but a constant reminder: Help is here. Everything that moved in the world felt the call, and knew where to find Crystalglass at need.

Irrylath goes to Crystalglass. Roshka goes with him.

Warning: Allusions to rape and sexual abuse of minors, both canonical and extrapolated.
