8:49pm: Friends Only
Hey, Somehow, you have stumbled across my journal. Good for you. Umm...that's it, I think. I do reserve the right to put restrictions on friending and stuff in the future. At the moment, I'm open. Don't make me regret it.

12:54am: Fic: That which Binds Us Together, Fandom: DCU, Characters: Tim, Cassie, Rating: PG
Title: That which ties us together. Author: in_excelsis_deaFandom: DCU Characters: Tim, Cassie, an appearance of Eddie and mentions of Conner Rating: PG Summary: Confronting the past is never easy. Prompt: 7snogs 7. milk and 64damn_prompts 2. metaphor. Disclaimer: The characters are not mine. AN: I finished my 7snogs challenge! Finally! After over two years, I am so thrilled to actually have done it. Anyways, taking a bit of liberty with the metaphor prompt, with the whole symbolism of milk. Also, I'm still not caught up on my DCU, so I tried to be as vague as possible with what happened before this. Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated, as always. Enjoy the fic. ( Cassie is crying – literally – over spilled milk. )

12:51am: Fic: Cracked, Fandom: DCU, Characters: Tim, Cassie, Dick, Rating: PG
Title: Cracked Author: in_excelsis_deaFandom: DCU Characters: Cassie, Tim, Dick Rating: PG Summary: Sometimes you can't ignore the signs. Prompt: 31_days September 3rd, IT GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN, LIFE. and 64damn_prompts 22. crumble. AN: This is somewhat of a prequel to Good-Bye. I don't know why I'm in such a angst mood when it comes to DCU now, but I'm toying with a sequel where things should get a bit happier. Comments and constructive criticism is always appreciated. Enjoy the fic. ( The picture frame is cracked. )

1:46am: Fic: Flight *Unbeta-ed*
Title: Flight Author: in_excelsis_deaFandom: Heir Series Characters: Leander, Seph, Jack, Becka, Genevieve, Will Summary: Sometimes you can't always listen to books. Rating: G Prompt: thermodynamic miracles Disclaimer: The characters are not mine. I am merely borrowing them and do not intend to make a profit. AN: This is set in an AU that I created for 5_changes, but really haven't written about. The basics are that Linda told Leander about her pregnancy and agreed to marry him – but only if they settled in Trinity. This is set about six and a half years later. Comments and constructive criticism are always appreciated. ( I don't think it's a very good idea. )
12:20am: Fic: Longing, Fandom: Heir Series, Rating: PG-13, Characters: Linda, Leander, Seph, Genevieve
Title: Longing Author: in_excelsis_deaFandom: Heir Series Characters: Linda/Leander, Genevieve, Seph Rating: PG-13 Summary: A dream is a wish your heart makes Prompt: 3. illusion Disclaimer: The characters are not mine.

5:24pm: Fic: Miracles, Fandom: Heir Series, Rating: PG, Characters: Linda/Leander
Title: Miracles Author: in_excelsis_deaFandom: Heir Series Characters: Linda/Leander Rating: PG Prompt: 4. blessing Summary: Linda receives her miracle. Disclaimer: The characters are not mine. I am merely borrowing them and do not intend on making any profits. AN: Written for 5_times: five times Linda told Leander that she loved him. This takes place during the conference on Second Sister, in Wizard Heir. I don't know why this pairing has me so obsessed – their entire family, actually – but it does. These are written in reverse order because that's the way they came to me. Any comments or constructive criticism are appreciated. And if you want to make me really happy, write Heir Series fic. ( He is dead and isn't coming back. )

1:45am: I seem to be on a fic writing roll...
AN: Written for linebyline prompt "came out in the wash". No title, genre seems to be fantasy and I have no idea where this is going. She can't just magic this away. She can't just let the stain come out in the wash- it won't. No matter how much she scrubs, no matter how much the visible stain fades, the stain on her soul will always be there. She killed someone. The blood will always be on her hands, even after she scrubs it, even after she burns the clothes she is wearing - she can never wear them again. She feels his presence behind her; doesn't need to turn around to know he's there, leaning against the door, watching her. Waiting for her. He's done this before, he knows what it's like. She continues scrubbing her hands and the shirt, not caring that her hands are red, that the shirt is nearly stain free. It doesn't matter. "You'll hurt yourself," he finally speaks with a gentle, soothing voice. Doesn't he get that it's the point? That if she bleeds, it will maybe, hopefully, somehow cover the blood on her shirt, her hands, her soul? "This isn't the way to cope," he suddenly is behind her, his hands grabbing her waist, pulling her against him in an embrace. "He was going to kill you- and our child with you. You did the right thing." Then why does she feel so dirty? Why does she feel so defeated, even though she is clearly the victor? After all, she is alive and the wizard is not and there is no going back. She is safe- her child is safe. All should be well. But it isn't. And suddenly she can't hold it back anymore, the waves of despair and exhaustion and worry and guilt overtaking her, reducing her to a shaking, sobbing pile of something that used to be innocent and human- but no longer is.
12:46am: Fic: False Teeth. Fandom: Original Rated: G
Title: False Teeth Author: in_excelsis_deaFandom: OriginalRating: G Warnings (if any: None AN: Written for the berlinwriters group and edited and rewritten for the genrechallenge challenge for April, cliche. I'm not entirely sure if this counts, but I got it from the Not-So-Grand List of Overused Fantasy Cliches, so I figured it counts as a cliche. ( Walking into the room, the first thing she noticed were his false teeth in a glass by the bed. )

9:16pm: The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas.
I knew nothing about this movie except that it was based on a book and that it involved a boy in WWII making friends with a little boy in a concentration camp and passing him food. This info was all thanks to 50bookchallenge and I figured that after watching the movie I'd read the book. But now? I don't want to spoil the movie, but oh God at the ending. Seriously, I had no idea that it would end the way it did. *blinks* I'm numb, really. There are movies I will cry at because the ending is sad. But this movie doesn't evoke tears from me- all it evoked was me sitting through the entire credits going "oh God, oh God, did they really end it that way?" I totally need to watch something happy now. Like majorly happy.

8:25pm: Fic: Tapestry 2/?, Fandom: Star Wars/Triad, Characters: Kyran, Rating: PG
Title: Tapestry 2/? Author: in_excelsis_deaCharacters: Kyran Josel, OCs Fandom: Star Wars/Triad Rating: PG Disclaimer: Star Wars is not mine and neither is Triad, which belongs to layrenelement and Neon Star. AN: Because the bunny morphed on me... I should totally be going to bed now, but I promised layrenelement this after I finished my law homework. Which I just did. Enjoy. ( The first thing he sees when he wakes up is a pair of blue eyes right over his face. )
2:49am: Fic: Lost and Found 2/? , Heir Series, Rated: PG, Seph McCauley, Leander Hastings, Genevieve LeClerc
Title: Lost and Found 2/? Author: in_excelsis_deaCharacters: Leander Hastings, Seph McCauley Fandom: Heir Series Rating: PG Disclaimer: Not mine. Prompt: firstline_fic week 23 A____, a______ and a____ walk into a bar. AN: You can find the first chapter here. Spoilers of Seph's parentage, obviously. I've never been to Canada, so thank MapQuest, Google and the Ontario Parks website along with the Mattamy Homes as an approximation of where Leander and Seph started out (about ten or so minutes past Stouffville, Ontario). Oh hyperfocus, how you make me anal about miniscule details in my fiction... Enjoy. ( A preacher, a rabbi and a monk walk into a bar. )

1:02am: Musings on Family
So I'm browsing LJ and there's a comment about someone's math teacher having a student who claimed she couldn't complete homework, because her grandfather died. Eight times. And that made me think. I have/had seven grandfathers. I do have eight grandmothers though. I only acknowledge five of them and have only met four of them, but... Grandma and Grandpa (mom's parents) Grandma and Grandpa Clouse (fall in the realm of not acknowledged anymore) Grandma Stuck (dad's mom) Grandpa Stuck and Jeanie(dad's dad and his new wife/girlfriend. I think girlfriend, but she wants wife) Oma and Opa (psycho step-mom parents- also no longer acknowledged) Michele's parents (nice step-mom parents...whose names I can't remember. Sort of acknowledged. The dad at least.) Richard and Gundi (Detlef's dad and his life partner or whatever- common law wife?) Almuth and Hermann (Detlef's mother and her husband) I haven't seen Grandpa Stuck/Tom/whatever since I was seven. I think. Haven't talked to him in that long either. Though Jeanie has mentioned wanting to meet me. Grandma and Grandpa are and always will be Grandma and Grandpa. They are not the best people and they have caused a lot of shit over the years, and I don't completely trust them. But still. Kayla's parents and Gary's parents don't really count anymore- though for this I counted them, because they were, at one time, my grandparents. Michele's mother is supposedly a huge bitch and I've never met her, but I've met her dad and he's nice. Grandma Stuck is... a basket case, really. But she's one of my two grandmothers in blood, so I count her for efficiency's sake. And when I saw her at Lucy's 3rd birthday party two summers ago, she wasn't too psycho to me. So *shrugs* And then there are Detlef's parents and their spouses, all of which I find nice. Though spending long periods of time with them is a bit trying (Detlef seems to have inherited all the bad traits from his parents and none of the good). In another note, during the summer, my grandfather let slip that I'm related to this relatively well-known ghost (who isn't really a ghost, but whatever). And since he said he wasn't going to do my grandmother's family (he's traced his family back to like 800 AD or something ridiculous- though he says that anything before the 16th century is sketchy and should be taken with a grain of salt, due to lack of records), I'm starting to think I might want to. I think I'll ask him at Christmas how to do it. Also, I should probably interview him and my grandma, for record's sake- they did that with my great-great grandparents and great-grandparents, so I figure it's my turn with them. And see if my great-grandmother remembers any stories about her family (the family I'd be tracing). I should technically write more on my NaNo, because, hey- while I made 50k, that isn't end goal for me. But I think I'll watch 90210 instead.
19th November 2008
11:02pm: NaNo
I did it! I did it! 50,048 words. I didn't write the first week of November either, so I basically did that in 11 days and oh my God, I am so thrilled! I completed NaNo. I won! Now my goal is 75,000, or 150,000 by Jan 1st. Think I can do it? *grins* I beat NaNo. A part of me still can't believe it...
