Pairing: Simon/Angel
Written for: The Simon round at maleslashminis for Meltha bookishwench who wanted Simon/Angel, a clock, someone laughing, Angel's tattoo mentioned.
Rating: PG
Word count: 2458
Disclaimer: They’re not mine. Thanks to ely_jan for a speedy beta. As ever all mistakes are mine.
Summary: Set shortly post Serenity, Simon finds a way to deal with his grief.
Author’s note: I’m rather making the assumption that if Angel has been around post the fall of LA and the migration from Earth That Was he’s found a way to enable him to live more normally and pass for human.

Also...in the post on writing women, ely_jan posted some icons based on pulp novels from jillicons and challenged people to go off and drabble or write something around them.

After a little thought this is what I came up with:



( Good girls don't )



( Responsible )

What is says on the tin. A review of output this year.
( fics, drabbles, challenges and responses to prompts )
( tagging over at TSP (for my own records) )
( And in the spirit of full disclosure this is what I still have outstanding )

Well that well and truly sucks.

The year started well, at least for the fic/drabbles/prompts and then took a huge nosedive. And the amount of tagging I've done is negligible compared to 2005. Feh. How utterly and throughly depressing.

Where's the Lagavulin?

Current Mood: disappointed

Owing:

* 2 icon drabbles long, long, long overdue
* a how Draco Malfoy met Lindsey McDonald story for ravurian
* 2 x 1sentence challenges for Mal/Jayne and Steve/Chris.
* 2 x Big Damn Tables for fanfic100 for Chris/Steve and Lindsey McDonald
* my entry to the You Got Cash ficathon run by vylit
* the prompts people gave me for the 5 things meme that was going around.
* damn it I must finish the whole Body Language saga

Then there's the prompts regularly posted on the challenge comms.

Heh - must get ass in gear.

So I asked over on my LJ for prompts to help me shake something loose and keep me occupied on the train to Sheffield. Many thanks to those who replied - the results aren't quite drabbles...more snippets *G*

remember_nomore went easy on me (*beams*) and asked for this icon



( Last Dance )

without_me asked for Chris/Steve on a train or other form of transport.

( The first touch... )

Fic title: Buckle Up Tight
Author: ruric
Fandom: RPS Chris Kane/Steve Carlson
Written for: highwaymiles
Prompt: #234 - "We're trapped in the car and it's raining again", Sweet Carolina Rain by Kane
Word count: 5763
Summary: Chris and Steve head out to Ojai for a little reunion ~ set at some unspecified time in the future when Steve has just wrapped his third solo album.
A/N: this is very, very, very late. It’s for cloex_brosluvr for the prompt, for gingerpig who writes such a hot and believable CK/SC anything I do pales in comparison, and for ely_jan who saw an early draft and set me straight about some very obvious weaknesses. Needless to say any mistakes are mine and mine alone. It was supposed to be 1000 words of schmoop. Then the Steve who lives in my head woke up and the damn story fought me every step of the way.
