Flogging a rocking horse,

Click the banner to go to my fic, Devotion. Hermione/Draco/Theo and Hermione/Ron, PG-13. (Full header information on the post).

Title: Healing
Author: acidpop25
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~2,600
Pairing(s): Cho/Tracey, with Cho/Padma and Theodore/Blaise on the side.
Summary: Healing isn’t always an easy job– or an easy process.
Warning(s): None
A/N: Found in the bowels of my fiction folder, I wrote this some time ago and never posted it here. Enjoy.

( Healing )

I've made my bracket choices. AND I PICK GREGORY HOUSE TO TAKE IT ALL.

That said, I have this horrible feeling that Dean Winchester will win the whole thing, which just proves to me that there is something seriously wrong with the world. By rights it should come down to a head-to-head match between the 10th Doctor (because he is just amazing all around) and Chuck Bass (because he's Chuck Bass), but I just know that the Jensen Factor will defeat even a Timelord, and Chuck didn't even make the bracket because Blair beat him out in the prelims (there is something seriously wrong with GG fandom, too).

I am way too invested in this, you guys.

I have a really important question, flist, and I need to decide it basically right now.

Do I stick with my current idea for Big Bang (a postwar Theo/Hermione/Draco) which I've already started, or do I turn around now before it's too late and dive into the still very vague idea that only just occurred to me (a Time-Turner fic set in Riddle's era)?

Current fic progress on the T/H/D:

2,194 / 20,000 (11.0%)

I promise I'll stop spamming you guys with this soon. Just one more! Don't leave me the only crazy one around here, flist; even if you're scared off writing for it by the word count, there are still other ways to participate.



Sign-ups for the Big Bang are open!

Hey, fellow masochists Hermione writers! Here is a bandwagon upon which you should jump!

Title: Don't Shut Your Eyes
Rating: So very, very G
Pairing: Theodore/Tracey
Word Count: 539
Summary: He can tell the question wasn't one she expected.
A/N: Written for the prompt "if you wanted honesty" on my 7spells table only like two years later.

( Don't Shut Your Eyes )

Title: Rules of the Sea
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Rating: PGish
Pairing: James Norrington/Will Turner
Word Count: ~1,500
Summary: "Let's just skip to the part where I ask if you want to serve on the crew, or if you'd rather I sail you on past World's End."
A/N: So I have no idea where this came from– I've never written PotC fic before, but this bunny just randomly bit me, and so... here we are. Altered slightly from the original post at the suggestion of sandra_lanimil.

Y so srs mean, Jenny fans? It's Gossip Girl, not a war.

Pardon me; I am going to meta now, and I am going to attempt to do it in as calm and reasonable a fashion as I can. First, I shall confess my personal biases: Nate is my favorite character, with Chuck a close second (and in fact, C/N is my OTP). I am fond of Serena– usually– and adore Eric. I lack strong feelings either way for Lily and for Rufus. Blair I used to dislike intensely; lately I have settled into watching her unfold with much less judgment. I'm partial to Serena, and have never cared for Jenny or Dan.

And I like Vanessa.

I don't love Vanessa; I don't adore her. I'm not desperately invested in her as an individual character. My interest in her is similar to my interest in Serena: I like her, I care what happens to her, but I don't flail and fangirl and spazz like I have been known to regarding Nate. However, Vanessa is the only character I forever feel obligated to defend, and for that reason I probably come off as loving her more than I do... but Vanessa seems to need defending, in this fandom. Specifically, there is a sharp and rather ugly split between Team Vanessa and Team Jenny, and I don't entirely understand why the two sides can't just play nice and agree to disagree.

Title: Try This
Author: acidpop25
Rating: PG-13ish
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Pairing(s): Nate/Blair/Chuck/Serena
Word Count: 769
Summary: Their various social and family obligations have all been fulfilled already; it is just the four of them, now.
A/N: A Christmas gift for blossomslut, though it's obliquely inspired by a prompt I didn't use for sandra_lanimil. AU that generally ignores most of s.2 (Four's Company verse). Happy Christmas, Cami! ♥

( Try This )

Title: Soon
Author: acidpop25
Rating: G
Pairing: Rowena/Salazar
Word Count: 501
Summary: "I would keep you close."
A/N: This is almost certainly the only G-rated Rowena/Salazar piece I'll ever produce. Set well before the founding of Hogwarts– they're somewhere in their early 20s here. Written as a gift for sandra_lanimil; merry Christmas, kitty!

( Soon )

I'm posting my holiday gift fics as I finish them rather than all on the 25th, so as to minimize flist spam.

Title: Not That Subtle
Author: acidpop25
Rating: R
Pairing(s): Terry/Theo(/Tracey)
Length: A bit over a thousand words.
Warning(s): Highlight to see. Knife/blood play.
Summary: “So, in short, you’re suggesting I consider this an opportunity to thoroughly debauch our dear Ravenclaw as long as I leave him more or less in one piece.”
A/N: Written as a gift for the darling aveeno_baby, based off our Terry/Tracey/Theo RP 'verse and an offhand remark she made about Terry's sexual predilections. Happy Christmas, ducks!

( Not That Subtle )

Title: This is not a love story
Author: acidpop25
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Chuck/Nate
Summary: This is not a love story, and it's especially not a love story about Chuck Bass.
A/N: AU after the season one finale. It may be a while before the next installment, guys, seeing as I'm about to be completely snowed under with work. Fair warning.

( Can it possibly be that easy, that simple? )

Title: This is not a love story
Author: acidpop25
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Chuck/Nate, references to Nate/Blair, Nate/Vanessa, and Chuck/Blair
Summary: This is not a love story, and it's especially not a love story about Chuck Bass.
A/N: AU after the season one finale. Some of this loosely adapted from RP with blossomslut.

( You're going to have to start somewhere. )

Title: This is not a love story
Author: acidpop25
Rating: Soft R for now
Pairing: Chuck/Nate
Summary: This is not a love story, and it’s especially not a love story about Chuck Bass.
A/N: I'm dedicating this one to sandra_lanimil, without whom I would never, ever be able to write a decent Chuck. AU after the end of season 1.

( All I’m saying is I think you’re being an idiot about this. Again. )

Title: We Lonely Three
Author: acidpop25
Rating: PG, maybe PG-13
Ship: Gwen/Jack/Ianto, though this can probably read as gen.
Summary: Jack, Gwen, Ianto, and a lesson in loss.
SPOILERS: For the s.2 finale, "Exit Wounds."

( It's not okay. )

Title: Between a wall and a hard place
Pairing: Chuck/Nate, mentions of Nate/Catherine and Chuck/Blair
Rating: PG-13
Summary: "You would rather whore yourself out to the Duchess than just let me lend your mom the money." Set after 2.02, "Never Been Marcused."
A/N: This is a quick little drabble (~200 words) I originally scribbled down elsewhere. There's a ton more that could be done with this concept, but, uh, I so do not have time to write an epic fic of whore!Nate. I kinda wish I did.

( Between a wall and a hard place. )

Title: Message Sent
Rating: PG-13ish, I suppose?
Pairing: Nate/Chuck, reference to Nate/Blair

( Trust me, Nathaniel. )

Title: Restless
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Chuck/Serena

( Trouble sleeping, sis? )
