Niki's Obsessions

It's that time of the year again... Fannish December Exchanges

My Yuletide present was a Miami Vice story by Daytonagirl

In Lewis Secret Santa I got a gorgeous, gorgeous fanmix made by fromward. Seriously, go listen to it now!

In Captain America/Iron Man Secret Santa I received a wonderful story by valtyr called Some Sunny Day, an AU where Tony was four when Steve went missing. Awww.


For Yuletide I wrote a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic story War Dance for
Capella, didn't finish any treats so might do some Resolution stories. (HA! That goes so well every year...)

I made Lewis icons for garryowen

...and wrote my first ever actual fic for Captain America/Iron Man for the comm Secret Santa: Wood You Like to Join Me for grand_duc (who happened to be my Santa in 2010 exchange;)

I finished everything! Thanks mostly to my betas! Now I might repost things to my journal. Maybe do the year in fic meme. Or something.

Drabble meme

1) Write a drabble in your first fandom
2) Write a drabble in your newest fandom
3) Write a drabble in a fandom you've never written fic for.

( Distractions from NaNo )

I got more bingo cards! Maybe this year I'll do better than last year...;)

( My hc_bingo card )

Aand my fanbingo card ( here )

And the anteaters? They were at the Vienna zoo. I'm going through my thousands of photos now... (No, I'm not exaggerating, I took like 2000 photos. I had to buy a new memory card when I filled the old one *and* my 4 gig memory stick...;) (Am not joking about the kissing either. With tongues.)

Title: Lacerations
Writer: Niki
Fandom: Lewis
Disclaimer: I am not Colin Dexter nor am I in any way affiliated with ITV, I write for fun, not profit.
Rating: PG (for passing suicidal thoughts)
Spoilers: to Life Born of Fire
hc_bingo Prompt: Lacerations & knife wounds
Notes: Part to of a series of fics with a working title, "Hurt/Comfort Sequence", works perfectly well on its own. In the context of the series this is pre-slash, but on its own it can be read as gen.
Summary: They both carried marks after the fire but while his was a sign of his own failure, his boss's hands bore the marks of a hero.

( He carried it like a brand. )

Title: Precious
Author: Niki
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not mine, I make no profit.
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica (original)
Pairing: Starbuck/Apollo
schmoop_bingo Prompt: kidfic – bedtimes
Notes: This belongs to the ”El” universe (...which I haven't finished or posted yet), should work on its own.
Summary: If anyone had told Starbuck a yahren ago that he would one day look at a child throwing a temper tantrum feeling nothing but tender protective love, he would have called them insane. Or probably worry he was going to get hit in the head a few too many times.

( But I don't WANNA! )

Title: Sir
Writer: Niki
Fandom: Lewis
Prompt / kink: Authority figures
Pairing: Lewis/Hathaway
Disclaimer: Colin Dexter and ITV own them.
Spoilers: none
Words: 506
Rating: R

( When Hathaway calls him 'sir' it sounds like a name. )

Yes, there are new catastrophes. But the previous ones haven't gone away, and Japan - among other countries - still needs help.

(Or then you can just come along to check out the goodies on offer, or to cry at the sight of people genuinely willing to help. Always gets me;)

I'm offering a custom made idea jar with a friend:

http://help-japan.livejournal.com/8252.html?thread=10387260#t10387260

We're really looking forward to making it! We were really inspired even before anyone bid on it so now we're doubly inspired;)

Meant to post this on Valentine's Day. Written last year as a change of pace from my NaNo novel(s). Not the fic I should be posting, I know, sorry:(

Title: Patter of Little Paws
Writer: Niki
Fandom: WWE
Pairing: Chris/Adam
Rating: U, G, K, depending on your corner of the world.
Summary: Two days later there were three tiny rabbit babies on the shelf.
Notes: Part of the "Pink Wabbit" series - so far in the AU land that has very little to do with the original fandom...
schmoop_bingo prompt: wild card: stuffed animals (could have been 'pets' or 'kidfic' as well;)
Warnings: Fluffy fluff.

( Cute, Chris. Very cute. )

Yeah, sorta late with this. RL. (And chronic laziness.)

Things I got:

In cap_ironman Secret Santa, Everyone's a Critic by grand_duc, a Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (Captain America/Iron Man) story with scrap books. It's adorable, funny and just all in all a delightful read.

In Yuletide I got three stories for three of my four fandoms!

The Whelp by Val Mora - a beautiful, beautiful story that might just be the first fic ever about Wulf and Eadwacer. And seeing that the source is a poem of some twenty lines, you should just go read the story. It is awesome.

Worth It by Franzeska for Miami Vice (TV), a wonderful insight to the episode "Better Living Through Chemistry" and Sonny and Rico's relationship. There is not enough love for this little fic in the archive so go ahead and appreciate it!

Sleeping Arrangements, also by Val Mora, for Banlieue 13 (which is a kick-ass movie you should totally watch anyway) which is sweet and hurty and just begging for a sequel.

Things I made:

I drew an untitled picture for muccamukk who was polite enough to like it (or at least say so;)

( Here, you can take a look behind the fake cut, too. )

I wrote Not Even Duct Tape Could Fix This Day A MacGyver gen fic for Lightcudder. She offered no prompt beyond the fandom and the character so I debated for weeks whether I should write a fun little gen story or an epic gay love story... ;) One day I will write the epic gay story, too, for "Trumbo's World", just you wait. But for now, there is Mac trying to watch his ice hockey game and the universe conspiring against it.

We were reading a song book from 1947 (as one does) with a friend, when, reaching the Christmas carols, I remarked how popular "Come All Ye Faithful" was in fan fics. We turned the page... to a song called "The Seven Joys of Mary". Cue laughter. "Now that's a fic title if anything. Which fandom would have a Mary?" I asked. "All of them," said Vilja. "Her other name is Sue." Hence, The 7 Joys of Mary Sue. We meant to go for the historical progression but... Oh well.

Title: The Seven Joys of Mary Sue
Writers: Niki & Vilja
Disclaimer: We were not drunk.
Notes: "The first good joy that Mary had..." is straight from the Christmas Carol.
Warnings for: Bad rhythm, lame rhymes, and the word "cock".

( The first good joy that Mary Sue had... )
