eirenicalI'll admit it. I have been truly atrocious at keeping up with LJ lately. -.-;;; It's probably due to the fact that tumblr has sucked me in big time and I'm spending a lot of my fannish energy over there. Not that that's an excuse. :-P
Anyway, I probably have a lot of RL stuff to catch you all up on (continuing job saga, NEW FOUNTAIN PENS, NEW GALAXY S4 PHONE OMG IT'S SO NEW AND SHINY AND FAST AND AMAZING, new show loves, etc.)... but TBH, I'm being lazy today and I don't feel like it. ^_~ Maybe some other day.
So, instead, how about a fic round-up and a prompt meme? Sound good? ^_^
1. Les Miserables -- Follow You, Follow Me; a.k.a. the Grantaire-gets-a-tumblr fic
OK. First off... this monster. Holy fuck. After resisting it for years, I went and fell head first into the Les Mis fandom. Yikes. This story was prompted by a tumblr post which basically mused on the fact that Grantaire was practically made for tumblr (yes, this is a modern AU -- ANOTHER thing I swore I wouldn't write, especially for Les Mis, I feel like such a hypocrite)... because really, he was. And I intended this to be 1000 words of fluff. Then it went and Took a Serious Turn (TM)... and now I have 19,000 words and counting of angst-filled Les Mis tumblr fic. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. But I love it and it's the most consistent writing inspiration I've had in a long time and also the first time I've been able to sustain a WIP in forever. So. Yeah. Four parts are already posted, the fifth will probably go up later today. Enjoy? *unsure but game smile*
Follow You, Follow Me (16560 words) by Renee-chan
Chapters: 4/?
Fandom: Les Misérables - All Media Types, Les Misérables - Schönberg/Boublil, Les Misérables (2012)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Enjolras/Grantaire, Cosette/Eponine
Characters: Grantaire (Les Misérables), Enjolras (Les Misérables), Jean "Jehan" Prouvaire, Joly (Les Misérables), Bossuet Laigle, Combeferre (Les Misérables), Courfeyrac (Les Misérables), Feuilly (Les Misérables), Éponine Thénardier, Cosette Fauchelevent, Jean Valjean, Inspector Javert, Gavroche Thénardier
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Tumblr, Slow Build, Mistaken Identity, Anonymity, Obsessive Behaviour, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Addiction
Summary:
In this strange conglomeration of humanity which made up the users of tumblr, Grantaire felt like he'd stumbled into a land peopled entirely by others who were just -- like -- him. He was so used to being the lone devil's advocate in a group of angels, the lone voice of reason in a group of idealists, the lone voice of dissent in a group of yes-men, that to have found an entire population of people who were just as eager to shoot down the mainstream as he was -- it was glorious to feel so... not alone. And it went to his head.

2. Vikings -- To Dance To His Tune; yet another Bjorn/Athelstan fic because I just can't leave those boys alone. -.-;;; Could be considered sequel-ish to "Reasons Enough to Surrender" as long as you don't mind a few inconsistencies created by the season finale. Otherwise, it can easily read as a stand-alone.
To Dance to His Tune (2433 words) by Renee-chan
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Vikings (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Athelstan/Bjorn (Vikings)

Additional Tags:Adult!Bjorn, Sexual Content, Parents & Children, Resentment towards Parents, Divorce, Future Fic, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Clothed Sex, Rough Sex, Angry Sex, Submission
Summary:
Athelstan sighed, turned his tugging on Bjorn's beard into a caress that threaded up into his hair and stopped with his hand wrapped around the back of Bjorn's neck. He pulled Bjorn's head down to touch their foreheads together, whispered, "What would you have me say, Bjorn?"
Bjorn simply shook his head, then tilted it down to press more kisses onto Athelstan's already kiss-swollen lips. He didn't wish to think of the future, didn't wish to think of the days to come when he would have to take a wife, didn't wish to think on the fact that he was a man just barely come into his prime... while Athelstan was soon to be leaving his. Time, the future... they were not his friends and he would cast them away from himself if he could.

And now... what you all came here for? (Because I really don't have enough writing on my plate already and, YES, Not-For-Primetime-Fic-I-haven't-started, I do see you there and I do know you're due in like... a week. O_o;;;)
Writing Prompt Meme!
Use one of your favorite icons, and post a ONE WORD prompt with it in the comments. I will then write you a ficlet to go with it.
Any fandoms listed under my umbrella fic tag are fair game (can be found in convenient list form at the top of this page), as well as any fandoms found under a “fanfic: ” tag on my LJ or DW.
