./splice update
I updated my website. The following sections now exist under 'Fandoms': Boondock Saints, From Dusk Till Dawn, Murder By Numbers, The Faculty, along with new fics under Fight Club and Harry Potter. A specific list of the new fics can be found behind the LJ-cut, AKA Meme Yoinked From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Boondock Saints
25 Cents
The first BDS fic I wrote, though not the first BDS fic I posted on LJ. Not the fic I'd rec to first-time readers of my stuff, let's put it that way. I laboured too much on details, so I feel the natural flow of it is somewhat lost.
3000 Miles to Graceland
lux__aeterna and I were talking about homesick!Connor. Here is my version. It started as a ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
contrelamontre challenge but I went over the time limit. That's how a handful of my other fics got their beginnings, actually. This is the first proper BDS fic I posted on LJ.
A Guide to Modern Living
One of my favorite BDS fics that I wrote, even if it is a crossover. I don't usually do serious crossovers. It's otherwise known as the little drabble that could and DID. It wouldn't stop and I wrote it in a little over a weekend. When I went through my page putting an asterisk next to personal favorites, I notice a lot of them are fics I whirled out in a flash of inspiration. Not necessarily written in a day, but the ones that just... came naturally. Where I didn't have to force anything too much. Unlike 25 Cents.
Aphorism
One of my favorite kinds of slash is the "if you can't fuck them, kick their ass" kind. I am fond of this drabble.
Down and Out in Brazil (or Venezuela)
This is actually a deleted scene from a longer fic, though I can't remember now from which. Light jab in SPF's direction 'cos of his stint as young Indy. I'm a sucker for kids being kids and the young at heart.
Downward Slope
I'm kind of ambivalent towards this one, so let's talk about something else. I remember it was a very conscious decision to write Connor's POV. Some characters I naturally gravitate to, but the twins gave me a stopthink for some reason. Not that I'd write Connor and Murphy as the exact same, mind. Of course not. Still, I kind of looked at them both and went, "Aaaaaaand I'll choose you. No, you. Wait." Now I'm used to Connor.
En Route
Written for the BDS challenge. In other words, I wrote this story in a rush before the deadline and I was all "OMGOMGOMG." I think I would like it better if it were tighter, but I wanted to turn it in on time so I didn't take the time to have it betaed. And then OTHER PEOPLE TURNED THEIRS IN LATE, THE NERVE. Le grumble.
Man of the Moment
The rare Murphy POV strikes again. Also the rare incest. It doesn't feel like it, but the majority of my BDS fics aren't incest fics. That's partly because I'm an implicitness whore.
Shepherds
Reactionary fic, seriously. After the billionth fic that's like "...and Connor and Murphy lived happily ever after with rainbows and unicorns", I started seeing red. This fic was my way of sticking it to the OTPers. Let's agree to disagree.
St. Pat's
Wrote it for St. Paddy's Day. 'Cos everyone's Irish on St. Paddy's Day.
You Can Pick Your Nose And You Can Pick Your Friends, But You Can't Pick Your Friend's Nose
Wrote it 'cos the snot blocked the blood to my brain and the cold medicine was getting me high. The first time I saw this title, it was the chapter title of a long Hanson fic that I found side-splittingly funny at the time. (If we put all the facts on the table, Hanson was my first fandom. But on the record, my first fandom's Weezer. Moving on.) I've since lost track of said fic, which is something of a shame.
Fight Club
Point B
On that 5-question interview meme (that I never answered because I'm a dweeb),serialkarma asked me what was my favorite fic that I've written. It was Point A to Point A and it still is, because I was sweat, blood, and tears working on that fic, man. It's reactionary fic, too, sort of. In its way. None of the Fight Club fics I was reading really gave me what I wanted, so I tried to give myself what I wanted. In any case, here is the coda. I was sifting through imdb.com's Fight Club trivia page when I thought, "Hey, the Narrator's pretty fucked up. Kinda scary." Yeah, I know, real lightbulb moment.
From Dusk Till Dawn
South of Mexico
I am quite fond of this one. Probably because I get to slash Quentin Tarantino. Yay, Tarantino fic. Must have more Tarantino fic. But then I found Reservoir Dogs slash and I couldn't bring myself to read it. I just couldn't. Careful what you wish for, I reckon. I can't read it, the way I can't buy Sam/Frodo or Lupin/Black, the same way I'm falling out of love with Monaboyd. (It was never love with Monaboyd; it was just a brief affair because it was rich and had a nice car, the cad.)
Murder By Numbers
King of Hearts
The other kind of slash I like is "HOT WARY CIRCLING" slash, which I attempt to deliver in this fic. Hehe. My fandom has face grabs of latent gayness (dude, I will never stop using that phrase). Supposedly Ryan Gosling pulled a Ben-Hur and played the characters as gay without telling Michael Pitt, and that is just. So. AWESOME.
Harry Potter
Smells Like Victory
I've become partial to Sirius because of Oldman!Sirius because, hell, who isn't partial to Oldman!Sirius.
War Stories
I'm not sure if I handled either of their characters well here. HP has only recently begun a recovery campaign of my brain. The lines are disused. I was kind of nervous about posting it, but, y'know, contrelamontre calls and I follow.
The Faculty
I Saved the World and All I Got was this Lousy T-Shirt
So I rented this movie to see why fandom loves it so. It seems to come down to Josh Hartnett's smoldering gaze and Frodo'sdinner plates eyes. In other words, the pretty. So what else is new. It also has Jean Grey but not, which is like woah. Also, sometimes I tell the same story, just dressed up in different fandoms. Sorry. There was a kid in my school who looked like Josh Hartnett, but then he got dreadlocks, and I was like o_O;. He was a total anger ball, but also a sweet kid. Reserved. Talented. Low alcohol tolerance.
Postscript
I hetted, yay! I just found Stan/Stokely so sweet. Like Kurt/Ororo! They bring out the twelve-year-old in me. I'm like, "AWWWWWWWW!!!!!! Get together get together get together!!!"
RPS
Harry Potter
Casual Chic
I saw some photos of Rupert being hot, so yeah. That's about it. And about the underaged thing, here is what's in my head: I understand people's concern about it, but there were people around me who, at 15, were having sex and going through sexual identity crises. So me myself, I'm not going to pretend it doesn't happen, and I'm rather lenient on the issue when I choose what fics I read. Check back with me in a few when I drop out of college for pregnancy only to have sex change surgery shortly after, or something.
LOTRips
King of the Air
First LOTRips posted. I was all, "WAH! WHAT HAVE I DONE!" But then everybody's doing it and my first fandom was RPS too, so whatever.
Motion Blur
I started writing this fic in a notebook on the way from school with the contrelamontre art challenge in mind. This fic does not contain the first scene I wrote for it, nor its original pairing (which was Viggorli, but the characterizations weren't meshing in my head). I think I'd like to write Viggo 'cos he's such a kook (check out yet that interview where he violates the interviewers' personal space like A LOT? [here, halfway down the page]), but my muse always has other plans.
Stories About Vancouver
I was doing the same thing Dom was at the beginning of the story, except I was looking up Pittsburgh, 'cos I thought I might be going to school there (I'm not). That's what started the fic off in the first place. I showed this fic to an RL friend of mine ON HER REQUEST and her reaction was, "It broke my heart. I love you. I HATE YOU." ...I'm gonna take that as a good sign.
Troy
Insert Name Here
Lemme hear all mah ENFPs in the hooooouse putcho hainds in the aih! Come on, wave 'em like you just don't cayah! (As if you ever don't care, attention whores that you are, you crazy mofos who are supposedly overrepresented in psychodramas, you. Go audition for the community play or something. Gawd.)
Reruns & Lawsuits
Often I get flashes of things I should write about, and often the flashes disappear before I can find a writing implement. Very frustrating. This time I DID catch it. The flash is Orlando trying to kiss Brad and be all sexy, and Brad laughing into his mouth like, "What the hell do you think you're doing, little man?" Caught one, yay! ...Finally.
The Weather Report
The truth is this started out as full-on slash. I had to do a lot of cutting and pasting because upon further scrutiny, uh, Brad and Eric aren't having sex in this fic. I still have the slashy outtake on my hard-drive, but I can't finish it because my outtake characterizes Eric as being deluded and naive. I don't want to cast Eric as deluded and naive. So I'm just gonna sit here and wibble a lot and wonder why no one posts ontroy_rps anymore.
Weezer
Maroon
This may or may not be a sequel to Verbatim. It was inspired by someone's post's subject line, which I then mangled (for copyright purposes, you understand) and pastede on yey as Mikey's lyric. I am fond of Mikey and Brian in Weezer fic, because they are pretteh, and also because I was in the middle of writing a Mikey/Brian thing when ffnet changed its RPS policies. Speaking of which... where are all the bandfics I wrote from that era? Dude, I swear I saved them somewhere...
Verbatim
There's a gritty, debauched quality that I find in bandslash that I don't find in any of my other fandoms. Sex in dressing rooms, cigarettes, alcohol, disoriented on stage in front of a violent audience while the spotlight burns your eyes. Movie RPS comes close, sure, but hey, who can match up with rock 'n roll debauchery? Not that there's much rock 'n roll debauchery going on in this fic. Just the regular kind. I just wanted to go back to my roots a while and give a shout-out to the ffnet bandslash alumni on my flist.
Why yes, you're right, I haven't posted my RPS fics on my website yet. ...I'll do it later or something. For now they'll continue camping out (HEHE) in my Memories.
MAMBO #1: I'm gonna get my recs page off the ground. The proper etiquette is to ask the authors whether they want to be recced, no? I've gone and done that for some of the fics already. The page would link back to their site or their LJ post, of course. But, permission is the way to go?
MAMBO #2: If any of you guys would rec me some Sirius Black gen, I'd be very much obliged. Yes, gen, not even Sirius/Remus, no matter how canon you say it is. Or at least a fic that's not centered on romance, especially romance among the Marauders. ...Please?
