Uffish Thought

WIP Amnesty: bandom

2014-06-01T07:56:16Z

Wow, these are from 2009. I really have not cleaned out my WIP folder in ages. If it wasn't 3AM, I'd probably be embarrassed.

( PATD old West AU, based on something inmyriadbits chatficced with someone. I can't find it anymore, so idek )

( pirate AU: there was about 20K of unwritten setup for this that I daydreamed about; this is just some Spencer/Brendon UST. The story was super implausible id!fic -- I enjoy coming up with overwrought emotional Mexican standoffs to make my characters suffer -- and I never wrote anything else. )

( this collection of plotbunnies are kind of hilarious in a 'revealing look at my fannish brain five years ago' way )

do the trick or treat

It's almost Halloween, y'all!

There are a few things I regret about my time in bandom, but the number of times I watched this video and laughed my ass off is NOT one of them. ♥

ETA: oh, man, Brendon Urie. I forgot how gumbyish his face could be. Can we just stick him in a room with Dylan O'Brien and make them *face* at each other, and record the results? I really think humanity would benefit.

Some days, you just want to read bakery AUs. Have some recs.

The Stars & Scones Bakery and Coffee Shop (Dresden Files) (also, 1/6 - the header lies)
Hallelujah, the WIP is complete! I never thought I'd like a normal-life AU for this fandom so much, but it's incredibly charming and deals with Harry's issues in a realistic, h/c awesome way, with the full ensemble as background. Plus, good Harry/Marcone is hard to find....

New Beautiful Things Come (XMFC)
In which Erik runs a kosher bakery and Charles is an activist, but not in the way you think. Gorgeously atmospheric (made me miss New England falls something fierce. Not the winters, though *g*), and does interesting things with the mutation-as-metaphor-for-minorities trope.

I've Got Nothing To Do Today But Smile (Inception)
Pretty sure the entire fandom has read this now, but who can resist Arthur twisting himself into knots of denial and Eames soothing his pain with massive amounts of espresso? Hilarious and heartfelt, often in the same breath, and such a comfort re-read.

Buy Handmade (bandom/MCR)
Warm, lyrical, and set in the early days of Etsy, Frank decides to make a career change from tech support to baker. My heeeeeart. Especially lovely to read it again as someone who just spent a year in massage school while working at a call center.

..and what the hell, a couple of stories where people play Never Have I Ever. (if you ever meet me while drunk and want to make me happy, suggest playing this game. I am so weak for it.)

I Never (comics!Avengers)
In which a bunch of sleep-deprived Avengers drink diet soda and mock each other. ♥

An Ancient and Noble Game (The Eagle)
In which Marcus and Esca play the game in the very traditional mode of 'trying to figure out if your crush likes you'. Also, *smoking* hot.

So apparently Brendon Urie is getting married? And announced it on Twitter via a soundclip from The Princess Bride? To a girl who is wearing a skeleton t-shirt in her Twitter picture? Ahahaha, that boy. Best of luck to both of them. ♥
