Silence Before Dawn by Toffee (NC17)  
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura
Length: 3,500 words
Author on LJ: Toffee
Author Website: Toffee@AFF.net
Why this must be read:

Because despite all that Naruto may wish, life is not fair. On the night before the attack on Konoha, Naruto and Sakura answer a request from an old 'friend' for one last meeting. Toffee got this one so incredible right. And the last lines ... just heartbreaking.

So note the rating, bring a couple hankies and leave feedback.

Twitter...  
I finally got a twitter account mainly because I wanted to save my name. Don't want any fake EBs out there!!! Anyway, I totally accidentally followed Adam Lambert. So have no idea how I did that (and I've no idea how to STOP following someone...could someone please help me out with that?). I am currently following Team_Barrowan (duh!) and Adam and, of course, Shannon (♥). Now, I need more ppl to follow! So, if you have a twitter account and want to follow me (or have me follow you), I'm elizabuffy over there. I have no idea how it works, so I won't be using it very often, but I at least have it. :D

My first adam experience...  
Okay, it wasn't great, but it didn't suck the way some people would have you believe. I also don't think it was all that shocking. He kissed a boy. So what? And yeah, okay, maybe a few of dancers' faces were shoved into his crotch, but it's Adam. It totally worked for him, I think. That being said, I think the number was a bit too energetic, as his vocals weren't at 100%, which sucks, but still, not bad. I'm definitely glad I watched it!!!

I'm still a Kradam fan, ta very much. ♥

(Fic) All Bets Off: Chapter 10 - "Truth Tastes Bitter" (10/?)  



Title: All Bets Off: Chapter 10– "Truth Tastes Bitter”
Author: Lassroyale
Rating: R
Warning: Everything up to and including Season 2, episode one. just to be safe, angst, probable dub-con and/or sadomasochism
Parings: Arthur/Merlin(eventual), Merlin/OMC(dub-con)
Disclaimer: The pretty boys don't belong to me - they belong to each other and the BBC of course.
Word Count: 3319
Summary: When Arthur is tricked into a bet and loses, too late he realizes that he has just lost the most precious thing to him: Merlin

A/N: Hey guys!! Long time no update, eh? I apologize for the extreme delay, but I had to take a break from this story. I felt I was getting too focused on certain things and the writing was suffering because of it. So I took a break, wrote in a different fandom for awhile, and now have returned with a new chapter for you. I can't promise it's as long as the others, but I'm determined to focus more on story and quality than length. I'm also a little rusty since I went on such a long hiatus with this story...


So please, if you are still with me, I hope you enjoy!


( Previous Chapters Beneath Cut )
Chapter 9 - "Doubt in the Devil's Kiss"

Chapter 10: "Truth Tastes Bitter"

***


The world dropped away and Merlin tumbled with it. He felt the earth shift and groan beneath his feet; below him, a gaping maw with blunt teeth and a deep, blood-red tongue licked the soles of his boots. ">

Equitable Action by Meg Tipper, (PG)  
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Characters/Pairing/Verse: All Seven - Gen, NYC AU
Length: ~44,000
Author on LJ: [info]tipper_green
Author Website: Meg's home page
Why this must be read:
The Magnificent Seven is known for the breath of Alternative Universes(AUs) that writers have created. The boys seem to fit so well into so many different scenario's. Meg Tipper has created one of my favorite AUs, which she refers to as her NYC AU, set in modern day New York City.

In this AU, Ezra and Josiah are partners in a law firm. Chris, Buck and Nathan are their 'go to' detectives. JD is their law clerk, and Vin is their client. The story focuses on trying to help Vin clear his name, This is a familiar plot in OW stories, but I don't think I've read a better version of it in a modern AU.

The boys are completely in character and her descriptions of the city are vivid. It's just a wonderful adventure.

The fic was Co-winner of the 2004 M.O.M. Brass Mirror Award for Best Gen Non-ATF AU Fic. It also received an award for "Magnificent AU" and "Magnificent Canon Storytelling" from the Death Dogs in 2004

( Excerpt under the cut )

Equitable Action by Meg Tipper

This is the first story in the AU but you can find the rest of her series Here

Miss Hubba Hubba: wrap  
The last 2 aerials acts I've done have had a lot more *me* in them, and I'm really pretty happy about that.

For Miss Hubba Hubba, again, I designed and built the costume, choreographed the routine, and found my own music. I even built in a fairly long entrance this time, starting on stage and moving down to the tissu. ...and it worked. I'm quite pleased.

So far I've only seen photos by Hubba photographer Patrick McCarthy. Don't steal his pictures, people!
( A few of my favorites from Patrick McCarthy )

...and because it's been asked, for those who missed it, the new Miss Hubba Hubba is Zip the What-Is-It?

Whew!  
After a slow start, I got a helluva lot done today. Switching back and forth every 15 minutes or so, I got several loads of laundry done, cleared off much of dining table clutter, finished (almost) grocery shopping for Thursday, added another story to the AO3 archive, wrote a chapter of the WIP, wrote 5 pages of a surprise fic bunny, refilled prescription and picked it up, took customer service survey for Michael's to bitch about the sale prices still posted 4 days after the sale ended (and employees seeming disinterest in that fact), folded laundry, ran car over black walnuts I picked up from the roadside by a "Free Walnuts" sign -- which I mostly want to use for dyeing, not eating, unless they look better than the one that was cracked open. Got a full bag full of hulls and a box full of walnuts, which still have to be separated from the inner hulls, probably by hammer.

The cart I had at the grocery was just off kilter enough to make it really exhausting to do my rounds. Or maybe I'm just exhausted.

Fit in an ep of due South while eating lunch and folding. Posted my GUH! post about it.

While I shopped for groceries I kept running into this weary dad and his tiny daughter named "Delia, Come Here." At one point she picked up a potato half as big as her head and started gnawing on it. Her dad said, "Delia, we don't eat potatoes." So she chucked it back in the bin. I'm about half Hee! and half Ew!

Had a chat with [info]autobadgirl just a little while ago, and Hepbro will probably call in a few minutes.

Then I will probably sink into a coma.

In Hiding Prologue/5 Jack, Ianto, OFC  
Title: In Hiding
Author: Shannon
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Ianto, OFC, Jack, Jack/Ianto (sort of)
Disclaimer: Nothing you recognize belongs to me. They belong to the BBC.
Spoilers: Vague ones maybe from seasons 1 and 2.
Summary: AU. The Time Agency needs Jack to hide someone without his knowledge. The Torchwood team needs to keep her safe. (AU team with no Gwen).
Betas: [info]kitty_poker1, [info]velvetwhip, and [info]elizabuffy.
Author's Notes: This was written for the Support Stacie Author Auction. For Writerreaderstories.

The prompt she asked for was:

Jack/Ianto

I want Illyana to take the place of Gwen.

Illyana is Jack's wife but he doesn’t remember her.

It's been a couple of years that she worked with Torchwood. It's when someone from their past come back to take her back so that she can marry this person. Now the Torchwood team have to find out who is after Illyana. Illyana can see that Jack and Ianto like each other and she could tell that Inato would treat her husaband right, so she stays silent. She sees that Jack is happy in a way. Ths person after Illyana know the truth about Illyana and Jack. Jack get his important two years that he is messing back. It them that the person hooks their life force together. So Illyana can't die either. Jack finds out about her. Can you thow a litt Owen/Tosh romance(if you want to). Will the team be the same after all that happened. If you can or want to mention that The Doctor and Rose got married and had a son. or have then show up and help the Torchwood team with their sisutation.

I know I didn't meet all of this request but I sincerely hope I managed to include enough of it to make her happy with it.

Quantifying a life.  
Good news on the work front: My tutoring job is going to give me 16 hours a week as of Dec. 1, which is great. It's an improvement.

The pay rate is good, and it gives me the required experience I need for teaching. (90 hours is the magic number. I'll have it by the end of December. Then I need a year of school for the teaching certificate.)

Unfortunately, it's not quite enough to live off of.

I don't have a car in car-dependent Maryland, so I'm having to ask "mommy" for rides to work, to interviews. I have all the time in the world to write -- yet can't find the space because I have to write around other people's schedules.

It's been four months and I'm getting the feeling she's burned out. As am I.

I want my life back.



Quantifying a life.

( When I drove across country to Seattle in 1996, I had a car. )

Aside from the degrees, how did I end up with less than when I started?

Fragile. Handle With Care. by missbreese (NC-17)  
Fandom: HEROES
Pairing: Luke Campbell/Sylar
Length: 6900
Author on LJ: [info]missbreese
Author Website: Fic List

Why this must be read: An insanely good fic where the author has dared to step out of her comfort zone to write with a different tone and an unusual style. It deals really well with how broken apart mentally Sylar is at the end of the fourth volume and how Luke responds to that, working in their twisted relationship of hurting and helping each other along. Extra kudos goes to [info]missbreese for taking on a scene (Luke meeting the unhinged version of his idol) that many want to see, but not many have tried to write.

Mousie report.  
Mousie report.

Some of you may recall this post wherein a family of mouse babies took up residence in one of my fleece jackets (in a box that happens to be outdoors). I discovered this when I pulled my jacket out of the box, scattering mouse infants everywhere. I removed my other jackets, packed the box with newspaper, and used newsprint to scoop the littles back in the box.

A week later I discovered I'd missed four mouse babies, who'd fallen into a box I took inside. Noooo....

Then the temperature dropped and I thought the outdoor mousies were history.

Three weeks later ...

I'm happy to report that the mouse babies survived, and have moved on. But the nest is clearly there, and there are no apparent corpses.

Proof of life: the fleece jacket was not so lucky, sacrificed to the cause. The Mousies chewed a few holes.

Unless Rainy Pass can fix it.
