Hockey. Sci-fi. Writing.

AKA Icywind (on AO3) My fics, shorts, and random natterings about writing can be found here on tumblr. Enjoyed something I've written? Consider clicking this link to buy me a coffee. :-) Avs fan. Caps fan. And a few other teams and players tend to sneak in as well I was raised on (and love) both Star Wars and Star Trek. Current shows I may reblog things about include (but are not limited to) The Flash, Supergirl, Doctor Who, and other (mostly) sci-fi shows and films. At some point I'll put up a list of shows no longer on the air (e.g. Haven and Babylon 5) or that I have an interest in but might not find much content for (e.g. The Americans and Dark Matter), but, time is short and there are pics to see. I may talk about any and all of the above or something completely different. Maybe I won't talk about anything and just reblog pics all the time (the above teams, shows, etc). Who knows. Some day I will do a proper About Me. Today is not that day.

Figured I might as well make a pinned post collecting everything to do with my The Pitt/The Stand (a post apocalyptic fic mainly starring Mel King and Frank Langdon in which they survive a flu epidemic that kills 99% of the population) stuff for the handful of people who have taken an interest. Please note, these are in order of when I posted to tumblr and wrote them...which isn't necessarily the order they will be in the story.

Update: The fic now has a name!

all they had seen and all they had lost

The bit I posted for AU Day for Kingdon Week - Frank arrives at PTMC but finds everyone there is dead...almost everyone anyway.

Frank wakes up

Mel and Frank and not really being ready to talk about everything

A lighter moment

An encounter with other survivors

Mel, Frank, feelings in the aftermath of said encounter with others

Kingdon Week 2026 sample for Hurt/Comfort Day

Questions, comments, concerns, etc totally welcome.

Under the cut, for the really bored, are three links to the birth of the idea and my rambling about my weird background with the Stand and some issues I'd been having re writing in general.

The initial post when it became an idea

And then the second when I began writing it a bit

My first post with any real plot stuff (which isn't much).

And that's all for now.

I hate when king arthur has all these fussy little steps in the instructions and you're like "no way do these fussy little steps matter" but you try it and they do. they matter so much.

I thought you meant Camelot quests and I was like "that's fair, 'never pick a four leaf clover on the last Wednesday of the month' IS a fussy little step that shouldn't matter" but then I was like "wait isn't that also a flour company"

One of these has the moral standing of a cartoon villain, the other might save the country.

I absolutely love ships where one character is usually serious and distant, but when they talk to that one person, their voice turns soft and gentle and is suddenly filled with fondness that they don’t show to anyone else.

If Tumblr is still here next July 19th, I fully expect this post to obliterate my activity feed.
