Title: What the Walrus Said
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: Merlin (BBC)
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: PG-13 (for the innuendo)
Word Count: 729
Setting/Spoilers: future fic and no real spoilers for the show. Hell, you don't even need to have seen a single episode to read this one.
Summary: In the future, this is what they will say of Arthur and Merlin, and it will all be true, but it will not be all of the truth. So much exists between the lines.
Disclaimer: Oh, to be the brilliant BBC and everyone else who own the rights to these versions of the characters owned by no one. Alas, I am not and am making no money off this ficlet or any other.
A/N: I blame demon_faith entirely for getting me into this show and this fandom. So this one's for her.

I told BradyGirl I'd give her my list of favourite Kirk/Spock fics, and then Saavikam was bemoaning the lack of Trekslash, so I thought it would be a good idea to post a few recs. K/S fic is a little hard to find--well, free and online, anyway; there are zines with tons of stories, but you have to purchase them--and good K/S fic is even harder to find. I'm hoping the new movie will bring more about, but until then, here are my offered recs. If you've read them already, which you probably have, read them again because they're really good. If you haven't read them, give them a try.

( Here be Kirk/Spock fic recs. )


Finally, take a look at this brilliant Kirk/Spock vid I found. (or if you want the link, Running Up That Hill.)

Title: Limited Omniscient
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: Queer As Folk (US)
Pairing: Brian/Justin
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1966
Summary: Vic saw it all from the moment it began, even if he wasn't there for everything.
Disclaimer: Showtime, CowLip, and Russell T. Davies (yay!) own the rights, but fanfic keeps the love alive.
A/N: This isn't much of a fic, but it's the first QAF-related piece of writing I've posted in far, far too long. And it's for rromantic</lj> , because I owe her a birthday fic.

( Some things are really rather obvious when you're paying attention. )-

Title: Full Disclosure
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: DCU
Pairing: Bruce/Dick, references to past Bruce/Jason (wait! don't run away!)
Rating: R (mainly for adult situations, some swearing)
Word Count: 2084
Summary: Dick forces Bruce to come clean about a few unpleasant truths from the past.
Disclaimer: DC owns the characters and their world, but I add the slash and stir.

For everyone on my flist who loves Kara/Lee from the new BSG, this is a video you need to watch. I found it today, and it is my very favourite Kara/Lee vid, because not only is it edited beautifully, with tons of clips and a song that's perfect for them, but because it is everything I love about Kara/Lee. Please take a look; I know you won't be disappointed.

Title: Sight For Sore Eyes
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: DCU
Pairing: Bruce/Clark
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 751
Summary: Tim gets the shock of his life, from which he will never recover.
Disclaimer: DCU owns the characters, but I like to borrow them and make them do dirty things.
A/N: Happy (early) birthday,tmelange! I'm posting this early because I don't think I'll be online tomorrow, but I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day, filled with your favourite foods and all the best presents you could receive. You deserve it!

(Okay, so the title of the meme belongs to me, but I swear the meme itself is legitimate. I stole it from mgbutterfly .)

The Rules: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

The Other Rules: After each story, add a little something about what you learned about writing in the process. Or, if you didn't learn anything, add something that fits contextually with the time of writing the story.


Damn, this was difficult. Part of me still wants to mention the ones I think are best in writing quality, but I've tried to stick to the terms of the meme. And since I've never been any good at limiting myself when it comes to lists, I couldn't quite narrow it down to five. Still, here goes nothing:

( Here be unapologetic self-flattery. Beware. )

Title: Pick Yourself Up; Dust Yourself Off; Start All Over Again
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Oliver (pre-slash)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1492
Spoilers/Warnings: post 8x09 "Abyss." Shameless wallowing and angst, because Clark is just so pretty like that.
Summary: Clark is brooding again, but he's doing it somewhere new. Change is come at last.
Disclaimer: DC, Gough & Millar, whoever the new producers are, and who knows how many others own the rights and make the money.
A/N: Title from the song  "Pick Yourself Up," with lyrics by Dorothy Fields and music by Jerome Kern.
A/N2: Written way too quickly and not very well at all, but it's the first thing I've had time to write in ages, and I'm posting the damned thing anyway. I'm not saying I agree with Clark's decision with regard to Chloe, but I've long been fascinated by Superman's ability to make people forget.

( That was the thing about truth, good or bad: it didn't go anywhere. )

Has it really been a month and a half since last I posted? Wow. I feel kind of...ashamed. LOL

But, in my defense, I did start a new job at that time and haven't really had the chance to write anything--and barely time to read a few (and only a few) fics other people have written. But things should be easing up, at least a bit, so I'm hoping I'll have more time for fandom. I miss it!

And I do have a few small things to post: a tiny Dean/Castiel fic, a small Clark/Oliver, a Brian/Justin; and I've even started a few others: another Dean/Castiel, a Jake/Mickey (Doctor Who), a much longer Brian/Justin, and notes for "Traffic in the Sky." Oh, for a few more hours in the day and even more in the night that I can use for sleep.

I promise to post at least one something on Sunday. How's that?

If, that is, anyone is still out there.  Hello? *calls out into the echoing void* Do you forgive me for my (nearly) complete absence from LJ? Anyone? Anyone?

Bueller?

Query: Why is there not more Tony Stark/James Rhodes slash? Really, where is it all?

Title: Odysseus
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Oliver (pre-slash)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2714
Warnings: major spoilers for 8x01 "Odyssey"
Summary: It's a long, strange journey, making your way home, and you're never the same as when you left.
Disclaimer: DC and Gough/Millar and oh, so many others own the rights. This fic is purely for free entertainment.
A/N: For svgurl and saavikam77 , who have been having some rough times. This is basically the premiere as seen through Clark/Ollie slash goggles. (Or, what I saw when I watched the ep.) Also, I don't care that the writers screwed up or wanted to 'change' things: her name is DINAH, not Diana. She is Black Canary, not Wonder Woman. Just like it's J'onn. (And my but this thing got longer than I expected.)

SPOILERS FOR 4x01 "LAZARUS RISING"

Title: Wild Angels
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 807
Warnings: Spoilers for 4x01 "Lazarus Rising." Oh, and um, I suppose some people might consider this blasphemous, but if you watch this show, is that even an issue? If it is, walk on by.
Summary: There's none so blind as those who will not see.
Disclaimer: Kripke, Warner Brothers, the CW, and others own the rights. I don't, and this fic is just for fun.
A/N: Fortmelange, who wanted Dean/Castiel so she could have a pairing she enjoyed and love the show even more.
A/N2: The summary is sometimes found phrased differently, but it is attributed to John Heywood in the sixteenth century, apparently based on proverbs from the Bible, and was adopted by Jonathan Swift and Thomas Chalkley. The title is a reference to a song of the same name sung by Martina McBride. 

 

Spoilers ahead for the season premieres of Supernatural and Smallville. This is your fair warning. Also, the squealing might get out of control. Another fair warning.

Title: Consumer Satisfaction (or, The Best Laid Plans)
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Oliver
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1356
Spoilers/Warnings: based off season 8 premiere promo photos. Kind of cracky. Poor writing. Weak humour.
Summary: Wherein Oliver is a good consumer and is suitably enamored of his purchase.
Disclaimer: DC, Warner Brothers, the CW, Gough and Millar, and who knows how many others own the rights. I fic for fun only.
A/N: After seeing pictures from the season 8 premiere that seem to suggest Oliver buying Clark out of a bad situation, I got my first teensy bit of Clark/Oliver inspiration in about a year--which probably explains the weakness of the writing. Sadly, it's been so long I've sacrificed my Oliver icon. Also, this borders on crack. Actually, I think it's crossed the border. (Illegally, but once it got there, it had no intention of leaving.)

Title: Traffic in the Sky - Part 3/?
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: AU DCU/Nolan 'verse (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight)
Pairing: Bruce/Dick
Rating: PG-13 (this part); up to NC-17 in later parts
Word Count: 1780 (this part)
Timeline: Several months after the events of TDK.
Summary: What happens when a new officer joins Gotham PD and Batman encounters a stranger on the rooftops of his city?
Disclaimer: DC and Christopher Nolan and who knows how many others own the rights. This is purely for fun and intends no copyright infringements.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait for this part. I have no idea how long this fic will turn out to be, but projecting ahead, loosely, I'm guessing maybe 10 parts. Maybe? Give or take a few parts? LOL. Oh, and the new title is from Jack Johnson's song of the same name.

Part One: Salutations
Part Two: Night Shifts
 

( Part Three: Judgment Calls )

Title: My Eyes Can See
Author: ladybugkay
Fandom: DCU
Pairing: Bruce/Clark
Rating: light R, just in case
Word Count: 418
Summary: Bruce likes the strong, silent type.
Disclaimer: Oh, to be DC and own the boys so I had the rights to make the boys do this in colour and get paid for it. Alas, I am not, so please do not sue me.
A/N: Fortmelange , who jumped right into the fray and answered the call for what Clark/Kyle fic is actually available, and for pervyficgirl, who came to the rescue in another way and wrote me more. I love you both! The title is from John Lennon's "Oh, My Love." (It's one of my very favourite songs.)
 

Over and above and beyond everything else, pervyficgirl WROTE ME CLARK/KYLE FIC!!!!!!!!  Yes, it's true. Because she is amazing and sweet and talented like that, and probably because I whined pathetically that I couldn't find much at all of this tragically underwritten pairing. It's called An Artist and a Model, and it's a beautiful little thing that you should all go read. Right now. And then leave oodles of encomiastic feedback in her honour and keep her thinking about writing more. *nudges in the most unsubtle way imaginable* I'm all puffed up with pride because it was written for me, and I want to hug it and squeeze it and call it George. (Possibly I need help, but this made me so very happy. LOL)

She also wrote me more of her 1000 Days series, with Clark/Dick, with a possible future moment between them. It's called Loom in the Distance, and it's lovely. Of course. (If you haven't read this series yet, what are you waiting for? And if you have, skip ahead to see what life might be like for these two beautiful boys.)


Then, for anyone who might not be aware of it or might not read writers with whom they are unfamiliar, I took a chance on goddessleila's I'm Your Country (If You Want Me) and fell head over heels in love. It's Bruce/Clark with unrequited Clark/Lex UST in the background, and it's stunning. This Clark -- this Superman -- is a fascinating look at what the Clark from Smallville (at least the first few seasons) would be like if he and Lex continued to be friends into the future; if Lex never went 'evil' and Clark matured while being best friends with Lex, and therefore influenced by Lex. He's still Superman and he's still Clark Kent, but he's a more complex individual. Also, we get to see the impact on Clark's life of having all of these powers that are part of him all the time. He's not just a man who can fly and comes from another planet; all of those powers exist all the time, every second of his life, and they affect his life in a huge way. 

As for Bruce, well, I defy you not to fall in love with him in this fic. It's impossible. 
(tmelange, if you haven't read this yet, do it now. You'll love it, I guarantee.)


And finally, for anyone who is into musicals, here's a little something I stumbled across online. They made Legally Blonde into a musical, and a while back, I guess, MTV made some kind of arrangement so that they broadcast a live performance of the show with all the cast and everything. The music is fun, the performers, especially 'Elle,' are phenomenal singers, and all you have to do is ignore the karaoke sing-along lyrics across the bottom of the image. Technically, it's not supposed to have been taped and put online, but you know how it goes. If you're interested, it's on megavideo. THE WHOLE SHOW. It's up in two parts, around an hour each. Here is Act One and Act Two.

Hey. It's a Broadway show you get to see for free in your own home. Not bad.
 

 Hidey-ho, my lovely DC flisters...and anyone else who is feeling generous and especially knowledgeable.

I am looking for Clark Kent/ Kyle Rayner fic. Does anyone know of any? If some exists, I have the feeling there isn't much, but if you are aware of any, would you please let me know? I've been on a rare pairings/ new fandoms kick recently, because a few of the ones I do read have been either not producing much lately, or not producing much I want to read. (With all due respect to those fandoms, of course.) So, if you are willing and able to help me out, I am willing to offer the firstborn I doubt I will ever have, in gratitude. ;)

THANKS!

ETA:  I've been looking. And looking. And aside from a Clark/Kyle/Bruce fic I remember reading ages ago, I have found only ONE Clark/Kyle fic. It's wonderful and adorable, and if you haven't read it -- although it was written a few years ago -- it's called Hero Worship. I did find a lovely little Dick/Kyle fic, Stress Reaction, which made me want to read more of that pairing, but alas, that is the only one I can find there, too, and it is also several years old. Where is the fic for these two incredible pairings? Where is the LOVE?! 

*falls to knees and begs for fic recs or for someone to write new fic*

*offers a drabble to anyone who does*

(And does anyone else without a paid account feel the pain and self-doubt about changing icons? I love the ones I have and I don't want to let them go, but I have some wonderful new ones just waiting to be used, and I feel like a change. Check out my new Nightwing icon with the old costumes in the reflections -- I love that cover. Oh, and I could really use a new Superman/Batman icon, or maybe just a Batman, if anyone has any recs.)
