To go along with the lovely little snippet of Nurse's Ball nostalgia, the Jailhouse Rock mention on today's show, here's a giant helping of Nurse's Ball nostalgia, and Elizabeth & Lucky happiness.

So, with Jonathan Jackson back on GH as Lucky and the flashback clip this week of teen L&L2, all my old shipping feels have come back to life. And so when I went to read all my old GH fic last night, I realized that I had never migrated a copy of this story over to Ao3 when I started writing/posting here. So here it is. Obviously, none of it is grounded in any current day GH storylines - it's set in 2011, but I started writing it in 2009, when Liz and Lucky had gotten back together but the affair with Nik hadn't happened yet. So obviously that didn't happen in my world, LOL! Anyway, it's old, but I didn't completely cringe at my old writing when I read it, so I hope at least one person out there enjoys it. Let me know!

A little Christmas moment
I'm sharing the re-post of what was originally posted as a chapter in a series of Samcedes Christmas moments, because it's Christmas and I feel like all the Samcedes writers, myself included, have just disappeared and we need some kind of gift.
I should have shared this on Christmas, but honestly didn't think of it until today, when I happened to hear the song it's inspired by, which is a Brad Paisley song called '364 Days to Go' and if you don't know it, I would suggest you give it a listen. I wanted the story to have the same relaxed, dreamy, hazy feel of the song, so I hope I managed that. I wrote it 3 years ago and still REALLY love how it turned out, so let me know if you like it!

So. It's been a while. I don't know if any of my readers are even here still but - I might be writing again. Just a tiny bit. I've had an interesting year, lots of changes. And whether there's anyone left who cares about what I'm writing or not, it feels good being a little creative again. Here's to more.

Woke up to a random kudos on this piece I wrote 10 years ago. Hadn't looked at it in ages but decided to re-read it. It's still one of my all-time favorite pieces I've written. It's short and simple, but I think the simplicity is what I love about it.
So I'm sharing it again.
I think I’m putting this blog on a little hiatus. Not that I’ve ever really been hugely active and it’s been nearly a year since I’ve written anything at all and more than a year since I’ve felt truly creative, but this blog and rediscovering my love for Glee and Samcedes and writing got me through the worst of the covid times so for that i am grateful. Maybe I’ll be back one day. We’ll see.

This might be cheating, but I’m so excited to finally have something to contribute to the Glee Paintbox project! I wrote this one-shot almost exactly 10 years ago in response to the S3 Valentine’s episode Heart and it remains one of my favorite pieces that I’ve ever written. I hope you enjoy - please let me know!
I can’t let Valentine’s Day end without resharing one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever written. Angsty but hopeful Samcedes really used to be my sweet spot, I guess.
For some reason, this old fic of mine came into my thoughts tonight and I decided to reshare it. I wrote it almost exactly 10 years ago as a post-ep cap to “Wonder-ful” and while there’s probably minor edits I’d make if I really examined it, on the whole, it’s still one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever written.

um, you forgot [niche platform that i’m going to tell u about in the tags]
Probably don’t have to tell you all how much my silly little Samcedes-loving heart delighted in reading this snippet of Chord’s recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, right? ;)
Well. I can’t seem to make any progress (still!) on my actual story -- but I did manage to do this little writing exercise today. Thoughts? Agree? Disagree?
Canon-Ship Questions (about Samcedes, of course)
Who got feelings first?
Sam. 100%. I think Mercedes probably always thought, eh, he’s cute but I’m not his type, especially after seeing him get with Quinn like 5 seconds after joining Glee club. But I think Sam fell HARD after prom. I don’t think she was really on his radar as a potential love interest when they first met. (Although I definitely do believe that he always been in awe of and a huge fan of her vocal talents.) But I think that especially after she was willing to goof around and be silly with him at prom (after the lovely ‘you look beautiful’ moment), he was totally smitten at that point.
There’s a song by Bonnie McKee called ‘American Girl’ that I’ve heard a ton of times before but it came around on iTunes the other day and this section caught my attention and I could suddenly hear Mercedes singing it to Sam. It goes:
“I told him I got a plan and I’m gonna dominate
And I don’t need any man to be getting in my way
But if you talk with your hands
Then we can negotiate -“
And I just feel like it fits in so well with their S5b story and how at the end of Tested, Mercedes told Rachel, well, who knows how long I might actually wait? And then, ugh, it just makes me mad all over again that they broke them up at the end of that season. Or that they didn’t get them back together in S6. One day I’ll do something with that.
it’s only just the weight of the world (not the end of it, you know)
Pairing: Sam/Mercedes Rating: T Word count: 19.2k
“Have you ever felt like you don’t know yourself anymore? Like the life you were used to just doesn’t fit?”
“And you don’t know how to make it fit?” Mercedes says. “Yeah. I’ve been there.”
“I’m not gonna be who I used to be,” Sam mumbles. “Who they wish I was. But I don’t- I dunno what else there is, y’know? Feels like I forgot how to be me. How do I get that back?”
or, sam is a former nfl player forced into retirement after a career-ending injury, and mercedes is a musician who needs to be heard.
This is just so lovely and I enjoyed it so much.
Is there anything worse than wanting desperately to be able to write something, to have so many things swirling in your brain but none of them will coalesce into anything coherent and so you just stare at the screen, feeling more paralyzed than ever? (Yes, I’m aware there are many things worse, but this is it for me right now.)
(For those of you who follow me for Samcedes stuff, I have several pieces I wish I could work on. And a couple Japril ones too. But it’s just not clicking and I hate it.)

I randomly got kudos on this japril piece the other day and ended up re-reading it and thinking, gosh, this one was pretty good. ;) (It’s nice when that happens with your own writing.)
So, in honor of an official, CANON, endgame (SQUEE!), here’s a flashback to Season 9 and how I imagined them getting together back then. Enjoy!
