I [1] promised to write something wholesome, [2] considered writing self-indulgent pr0n, [3] was most definitely & firmly against writing anything like this. so... an odd weather report and sweet memories of a story read a long time ago and in a galaxy far, far away have mixed with my slight frustration with the theme... and I went & wrote exactly that, something that would not even suck, no pun intended.
I have no excuse.

so it's an AU ficlet set in Ultimate Marvel universe [because it fits and I have actually read the whole arc?].
it deals with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers [because], and can only be rated W for WTF.
the best thing about it is the title from master Cohen's song [there's blood on every bracelet, you can see it, you can taste it... aye].
[and yes, I did watch Let the Right One In and loved it.]

first, I've been trying to clean up me hard drives [at least 4 DVDs of comic archives, imagine that] when I recalled an old, old story, sketches for, and decided to look it up. have not found that one, but! have [re]discovered a practically completed Star Wars AU fic. it breaks my heart, that story does: it is AU and out of character in its assumptions, but there's some damn fine dialogue, and gods, I wish I could still write like that! I thought of rewriting it to fit the canon, Episode III specifically... and decided against it. wth, let it be big bad AU. with spices on top #-)
that, gentlefolk, was one nice & unexpected trip. and a "get your shit together, good writing IS possible!" reminder.
that was not the objective, though.
the thing is... as much as I think & talk Stark, one'd rightfully expect me to write something already [and shut up, then], right? it's not like I lack [insane] writing ideas, right? and I cannot plead unfamiliarity with various canons any longer, too... so what does one do about it, pray?
...right, one flips. one visualizes a piece of pure crack & writes it the hell down. like this:

money been spent on Amazon, to alleviate literary frustration and then some. 's okay.
having this sudden urge to order a gift wrap & card with poetry oblique for one of the items, though, addressed to myself, is probably not really okay '-) [but in the very spirit of the item. we are all mad here.]

ah, literary frustration: it brings the never finished, IIRC, Drawing Down the Moon [HP] to mind. it's brilliance fluent and daring and wonderful ultimately going somewhere you cannot follow. in my sad case not because the ride's too hard and/or dark, but because it fundamentally disagrees with my understanding of canon. the story stands - and how! - on its own, but somewhere along the ride my disbelief snaps and places it all into an experimental AU. think remote & clinical, and damn sad because the beginning was so fcking fine..!
ah, well. watch me do any better.
watch me try & do something, then talk.

the meme's all over the LJ, so why not...
Post a list of your top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most.
~
the Secks trilogy thing!
(a crazy quasi-poetic experiment bringing Ecks from Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever and Sands from Once Upon a Time in Mexico closer than is proper and safe. in particular, I love how the liquid theme holds, and the thing flows smoothly despite, well, everything #-)
~
A Delicate Hand!
[one word: 'coronary' #-) a few more words: gods help me, it works so wickedly sweetly. plus, you know me & hands. in a way it's a story of self loving, 'cause it's got indulgence written all over it.]
~
Loose Ends!
[my first and only proper Discworld fic, folks, and said to be a good one too. I love how easily, in fact, it came to me, both imagery and words. I love how right it feels, up to the [in]famous "What, why?"]
~
they dance alone and see me not!
[the story of these two is probably longer than the stories themselves. in short, I loved League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's idea of Mina Harker meeting Captain Nemo. I also liked its freehand approach to various bits of canon, so I dragged fused several versions of Ms.Harker and the Captain for the two vignettes. I love how they just are there, no backstory, no reason, no excuse. if I ever captured sensual, it is there.]
~
*deep breath* Interesting Times three-piece!
(yes, the criminally insane Star Wars alternate reality one. part 1 was very hard to write, being a request & not exactly my thing, and I love to know I made it. I also love the way[s] it turned afterwards, absorbing lines from my favourite songs, and common sense, and impossible OTP. it's a truly weird child, this one, and a... strange thing to do to one's beloved canon, but in the end? it made this top 5 #-)
~
the list could've been different, had I written more/finished the accursed WIPs.
ow.

It has to be May 17th (Star Wars Episode II premiere day in Israel) approaching. Star Wars fluids in the air, plus the craze, SW-related and general...
I've done it!!!!!!!!!! I have written the insane ficlet I threatened Zoi with '-) It all started with a relatively innocent suggestion of piercings for Jar Jar Binks, but then... Innocence & me do not, I'm afraid, mix well '-)
Notes:
1) George Lucas, though he does own the worlds and the characters, has got absolutely nothing to do with this plot. He's got standards, after all.
2) Some people (hello Alli!) may get a wrong impression of me not liking Ewan McGregor. But I do like him. His Obi-Wan Kenobi, now... hehe '-)
3) Pillow Book, referred to, belongs to... its creators, bless'em.
4) An occasional lapse into Pterry's style is to be blamed on my excessive reading.
5) See above, I can spell Binks. I have deliberately changed the name to go with the new, um, image '-)
