all my keysmash are belong to you

This is a Novakfest fic, starring Teuku Ryan as Jimi Nasrudin. In fact, here is a a short clip of Jimi wishing us all a happy Eid.

My thanks to the garrison - callowyniel, clwright2stiel, dayadhvam_triadiel, switchbladesistiel, and viridian_magpiel - for their betasmiting action. Thanks especially to Switch and DT for teaching me to make hover-translations! Now we don't have to open the Indonesian-English glossary in another window - just put your mouse over the Indonesian text ET VOILA - English appears!

My thanks also to the Novakfest mods for their awesomeness and patience and for putting this party together. My apologies to Kahlil Gibran for cribbing that one line from "On Love" from The Prophet.

Firstly, I suggest you sign up for the girlsofspn fanwork exchange.

Nextly, here's my official entry to spnrarepairs, a Jimmy/Amelia mix for gladdecease.

Winter For A Year was based on this mix, which made for an interesting prompt-filled writing process. It was also initially written in the second person, fun fact. The mix title is a reference to a lyric from Arcade Fire's "Winter For A Year", which is totally about Narnia. TOTALLY. I mean, jackets that never turn to branches? Come on now. Which is why Jimmy read the books to Claire when she was younger. It's also where all the winter scenes come from. Amelia's Lake Michigan memories come from the Tori Amos song.

One day I'll write an actualfax SPN/Narnia crossover. Anna/Susan and alienation from home! Post-S3 Sam (or MysterySpot!Sam?) stumbling into a magical world while looking for answers! WHAT IF THE EMPEROR OVER THE SEA IS GABE?

+ I have no polling capabilities, so here is a question: how many songs should be on a fanmix? At least 8? At least 10? Ideally 12? You love 14 maybe? 15, get an odd number in there.

I was gonna make just the one fanmix for spnrarepairs, but then I started writing drabbles for each song, which quickly became full-blown fic, and then I got cold feet because I realized that the fic is kinda the opposite of my requester's list of preferred kinks and special elements... So. I'll just post this here, then.


Winter For A Year
Supernatural. Amelia, Claire, Jimmy, brief Team Free Will; Amelia/Jimmy. PG. Spoilers for 4x20. Thanks to zempasuchil for betareading.

( I watched the unaired SPN pilot and rewatched The Rapture. )

Does that mean it's... maybe it's time, maybe it's time for a mini-picspam of the collateral damage we call the Novaks?

( Daddy, aren't you gonna say grace? )

Okay off to do stuff for real this time.
