| Drabbles: Non-vampire, non-Coldfire |
[Apr. 2nd, 2006|12:48 am] |
*looks at the last post and its 100+ comments, of which most aren't between myself and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fyrie* I do write other things than vampires and Coldfire, you know. Alas, these are the weakest ones of today's batch...
( Sandman, Death and Destruction )
( OUATIM, Lorenzo and a stuffed toy )
BTW, drabble requests still open, with modifications. Namely, no vampires except maybe Underworld, and no Coldfire :P C'mon, people - Star Wars? Batman Begins? Tolkien? Anyone? Bueller? |

| FIC: How To Seduce The Mariachi In 10 Easy Steps (OUATIM, PG-13) |
[Feb. 22nd, 2006|10:17 pm] |
I should have known not to post that last meme :P You can still bunny me for a fic-fragment there, and I'll post all of them in a separate post once I get through all of them - right now just two outstanding, including one from guede_mazaka that killed me. Meanwhile, arabwel managed to bunny me hard enough to obtain actual fic. 50 sentences, ~700 words.
Fandom: Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Pairing: Lorenzo/El, Lorenzo/Fideo, Sands/El, implied multiple OFC/Lorenzo
Genre: Humour
Everything identifiable belongs to Robert Rodriguez et consortes, with the exception of arabwel and myself.

Just three so far, alas. To my defense, work absolutely pwn3d me today just after I wrote the last post - I ended up staying way longer than regular work hours and I still have a busload to do tomorrow. On the upside, I also have tickets for the 18th for my next dose of fanged crack, so yay. Said crack has also inspired drabbles #2 and #3, because I'm on a permanent vampire high here. Both titles from "Vor dem Schloss/Wohl der Nacht/Wohl dem Mann", the last song in act 1.

| FIC: South of the River (OUATIM/Boondock Saints, R) |
[May. 17th, 2005|08:03 pm] |
Fandom: Boondock Saints/OUATIM
Rating: R (language)
Summary: When Smecker and the McManuses go to New Mexico, they're encroaching on someone else's territory.
This was supposed to be dedicated to guede_mazaka, but then she went and wrote Clean Hands, which makes this fic not fit to be in one fandom with hers. So I'm not worthy ;)
Thanks to feath for a word.

Current works-in-progress: Star Wars ROTS icons, request drabbles, Blind Dancer (Vader and OFC and Raymond Chandler, oh my). |

The fic I've been whining about for the past month. Finally finished, and good riddance ^_^
Pairings: Sands/Ajedrez, El/Carolina
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: OUATIM property of Robert Rodriguez and assorted. Lyrics quoted property of John Porter and Anita Lipnicka
Summary: Ajedrez and El, two complicated people. Two people who are very, very lost.
Note: This assumes that Sands had time to visit Ajedrez before his meeting with Bellini. Time in OUATIM is mightily confusing. Also, the specifications of the request called for only El and Ajedrez; unfortunately Sands is not so easily contained, so he crawled into a few places.
Blamed on: guede_mazaka.
Also blamed on John Porter and Anita Lipnicka, who provided the soundtrack. Thanks to permetaform for a tidbit.

So I was sitting in the International Finance exam, finishing up the test with 40 minutes to spare and no bloody hope of getting out early because someone had the bright idea of cramming the lecturer's three courses into one stuffy exam hall. Sands popped into existence in the seat next to me, looking about as bored as I was with the common characteristics of US money market instruments. I told him to tell me a story.
Pairings: Sands/Ajedrez, El/Carolina mentioned
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Three situations, three women, three conclusions

| Dreams and delusions and eyeless agents [rambling] |
[Dec. 20th, 2003|11:28 pm] |
Mmm. Sleep deprivation means my subconscious is closer to the surface. It bubbles and murmurs in dark corners, throwing shapes and distracting me with lazy stabs of the blade of inspiration. I was looking for quotes, because I'm desperate for a title and a story.
"His madness... his madness keeps him sane."
- Delirium, "Three Novembers and a January", Sandman, Neil Gaiman.
It's not the one I'm looking for - but isn't it a fascinating concept? Someone who has gone past madness, past despair, past desire and out the other side. To a place where he holds on to an idea. A dream. He lives out his destiny, and deals out death. And hey, destruction is change, and change is freedom, and everything changes but nothing is truly lost.
Sheldon Jeffrey Sands, I'm looking at you.
Okay, dear, try and pull your thoughts together for a moment. See, that's my problem. I don't see Sands as crazy, or at least as the kind of raving lunatic, dancing in the pale moonlight crazy some fanon renditions would have me believe. Sure, good stories and all, and I enjoy them. But I just can't write him that way. Maybe it'd make my fics better, but somehow my Sands is outwardly strong as steel, even if he has collapsed inside (which depends on the version). He just doesn't give up, not even to himself.
Hm. Anybody care to try naming all the works quoted and paraphrased in this little delusional rant?
And if anyone can give me a good Sandman quote about the dangers of dreams, they win a virtual cookie and a fic dedication. |

Today's Boy Meets Boy features Apollo taking Tybalt to Tijuana to cheer him up. And Tybalt's wearing sunglasses and has Johnny-worthy cheekbones. Okay, he always has the cheekbones, just that now with the sunglasses and the road trip and Tijuana...
...is it very bad of me to want to write an obscure crossover? ^_^ |

| [OUATIM] Touch and Feel (rated NC-17) |
[Oct. 22nd, 2003|11:09 pm] |
Gahgibble. I was sitting in a lecture, trying to bother El into telling me the next story in my Sands series. But I couldn't concentrate because my thoughts kept straying to a certain threesome fic recently posted at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) agentsands... Next thing I knew, a decidedly manic-looking and undernourished Sands popped up, demanding nookie. Pushy bastard.
Fandom: Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Pairing: El/Sands
Rated: NC-17 to be safe, though it could be a strong R. In other words, lemon with no named parts. And Sands, a rating all by himself.

Apparently the one thing Sands likes is praise. After "Back in the Fold", it was much easier to make him talk again. He just sat down next to me in a lecture and started telling me, offhand, a story he once heard...

Sheldon Jeffrey Sands has installed himself as my muse and comments freely on stories I read and write, but he is surprisingly reticent about his own. When he does speak of himself, it is in fragmented monologues that twist and loop and curl in on themselves. He spreads a deck of possible pasts and futures on the threadbare coverlet of my bed and picks one at random. Picks one blind. This is one of his stories.
