This has got to be the most dreaded portion of posting any fic.

Gaaahhhh!

Honestly, I have spent an absurd amount of time today debating whether or not I should use a “to” or an “on” in this one sentence.

Editing is for the birds.

Trying to get back into the groove of writing Rogers & Sabine. I feel like it is a struggle to remember the feel of them, but I do really like this bit at the moment:

Killian swallowed. “But it’s been a while. Not simply a while since I invited someone back here, but a while since I’ve done any of this.”

“That’s all right.” She smoothed her hand up his arm, circling her fingers around his shoulder as she offered him a smile. “Nothing says we have to do anything, or do nothing. We can do exactly whatever it is you like, and the moment it’s too much you say the word.”

“I’d like to kiss you.”

“Come here,” she whispered, her smile broadening and she reached out to cup his head.

CS FF: We’ve Got This - Update

Well, folks, I feel like I need to dust this thing off as ao3 has been low-level taunting me by constantly reminding me I last updated We’ve Got This in September 2017. I don’t even know how I let that happen. There are probably a million dumb excuses that all basically sum up to life happened. 

As I mentioned yesterday, I finally finished the fourth and final part. It just needs some final editing and general fixing, but I plan to get that finished up and post Part 4 on Thursday (January 3).  🎉 🎉 🎉

In the meantime, there is nothing like going back to read your work again to find all manner of typos. So I cleaned up the first three parts as I read and re-read to finish up that last part. Anything I found has been fixed both on tumblr and ao3. 

Summary: Killian and Emma have been using all sorts of things to avoid what’s right in front of them. Some off the cuff words, though, might get them on the right track. (Modern AU)

Rated: M 

Read the previous parts on Tumblr - 1, 2, 3 - or ao3! Part 4 up later this week!

(Many thanks to the constant prods, reminders, and general love from, among others, @lenfaz and @wellhellotragic - both of whom never failed to remind about the position I left poor Emma in at the end of Part 3.)

I’ve got a list of ideas open and I should be writing. However, my attention is like a squirrel today.

So tomorrow. Maybe. *crosses fingers*

Hey! Do you think you'll still write some Rogers/Sabine?

Hi, anon!

Yes! I have a great prompt sitting in my askbox that I want to get to when I return from vacation. Plus I have another story started in my fics that I want to get finished and posted.

These two have so much great potential and I love writing them!

WIP last line game

@ussjellyfish tagged me to play in a work in progress last line game. I’m totally ignoring the rules and posting snippets from each of the three I’m working on from three different fandoms. These will get finished one of these days.

Hidden Legacy - Connor/Augustine - as of yet untitled canon universe university era fic

“Stop it!”

Connor laughed and pulled back the tendrils of his magic, disconnecting from where he’d begun to ghost along the right temple of Augustine’s glasses, slowly nudging them askew. He turned back to his pipe, taking another hit before sending it, and the lighter, across the room

“Why are you even wearing them?”

Star Trek Discovery - Ashburn - as of yet untitled fic set at some unknown point after S1′s end

“Right,” Tilly said with an emphatic nod of her chin. “Simple intell swap, nothing more.” She nodded again to herself and then looked at Michael. “You’ll be back at the hotel before sunset?”

Michael gave her a smile she didn’t quite feel. “Of course. Will meet you at the rendezvous tomorrow at 16:00.” She squeezed Tilly’s hand one more time and stepped back before

“Tell Ash I miss him.”

Once Upon a Time - Captain Swan, Part 4 of We’ve Got This

Smiling as he dropped the thermos he was carrying to the deck, he pushed himself up from the hatch. He made his way over to her, curling up to her side and drawing his leg up to settle over and between hers.

“Afternoon, love.”

The corner of Emma’s mouth twitched but she kept her eyes on the page in front of her. She lifted one foot though and wrapped it around his calf.

“You didn’t have the leave the bed to do this,” he whispered against her ear as he snaked his hand beneath her sweater, settling it at the small of her back. He slipped his finger tips beneath the waistband of her shorts, teasing at the rising curve of her skin.

“I did if I ever wanted a chance to actually finish it.”

Tagging @lenfaz, @kliomuse, @the-captains-ayebrows, and @wellhellotragic, all of whom are poking me about one or more of these. =)

Am writing again. Slowly. It’s a little like pulling teeth. I can see the story in my mind, but the words themselves are playing elusive.

But still. It feels good.
