I LIVE! Sorry about the silence, it's been really hard getting my brain in "writing mode" the last month, and I haven't had the brain power to do much with tag games, but I'm trying to get back into it! And thanks to @sandcastlekings for the tag! I know it said 5 but I've also seen it with 10 and I thought well, why not throw in some old fics for people who might want to see them? They're not in chronological order really, but I tried to make some sense of them. (Also several are only on Tumblr b/c I never bothered to post them elsewhere.)
1. The Viscount's Bride (Dragon Age, Varric/Cadash AU)
"Have I mentioned I hate the Carta lately?" Varric Tethras, Viscount of the city of Kirkwall asked, gesturing irritably with his glass full of bottom-of-the-shelf Hanged Man wine.
2. Legacy of Camp Blood (Friday the 13th The Game, Tommy Jarvis/Deborah Kim)
A chilly breeze rustled the branches of the trees and tiptoed over the surface of the lake beyond, leaving dark ripples in the water painted silver by moonlight.
3. The Florence Nightingale Effect (Friday the 13th: the Game, Tommy Jarvis/Deborah Kim)
“He’s not here today, if that’s what you’re looking for.”
4. The Man Behind the Masks (Friday the 13th: the Game, Tommy Jarvis/Deborah Kim)
The warm, golden tones of late afternoon had faded into the soft blues of evening outside Tommy Jarvis’s cabin, but light still glowed in one upstairs room.
5. Card Games are a Contact Sport (Thunderbirds are Go, Gen)
Making long-term plans is always a gamble at the best of times, but when your entire job requires being alert for possible emergencies every hour of every day, “long-term” can be as simple as a single evening at home that’s liable to be shot to pieces by an errant rock-slide halfway around the globe.
5. Arachnophobia (Thunderbirds are Go, Gen)
“John? It’s 3 am. Why are you making rice?”
6. The Little Merman (Thunderbirds are Go, Gordon Tracy/Penelope Creighton-Ward, incomplete)
The first inklings of trouble came from John’s “sources,” a vast, interconnected web of mer-folk and sea creatures, as well as his own well-developed sonar.
7. Charade (Thunderbirds are Go, Gordon Tracy/Penelope Creighton-Ward, incomplete)
It’s almost getting to be a habit- when they finish a rescue in Europe (at least so long as it didn’t end horribly, that is), Gordon sends a message to Lady Penelope.
Gonna toss out tags to @biowaredisasterbisexual, @hyperions-light, @thedissonantverses, @seaglassmelody and anyone else who wants to try this!
