The glory as I dreamed [Reference]
by Te
November 12, 2009

Disclaimers: No one and nothing here is mine.

Spoilers/Timeline: No real spoilers, takes place when Bruce is eighteen.

Summary: In which the two most obsessive people in the universe do what they do best.

Ratings Note/Warnings: Sexual content.

Author's Note: An AU 'missing scene' for ending *2* of A way so familiar. Will not make any sense without the other.

Or say a dream it was
by Te
September 21, 2009

Disclaimers: No one and nothing here is mine.

Spoilers: All sorts of references to older storylines.

Summary: Fathers and sons...

Ratings Note/Warnings: Contains content some readers may find honest.

Author's Notes: Another in the And Each Moment Moved series, based on the first ending of "A way so familiar." Starts some months after the last snippet in "This and that of you." Will not make sense without *all* the rest, I don't think.

Acknowledgments: With much love to Jack, Pixie, and Mildred, all of whom contributed many, many noises. Jack also threw in some of the better lines and the summary.

Story goes here!

What's that you say? New fandom? Maybe. @ 11:05 pm

Current Mood: pleased
Current Music: CPD: "Zoot Suit Riot"

Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series has eaten me alive. Are you sick of fantasy where brown people are either evil or nonexistent? Did you stop reading the genre because there were too many evil/tragic gay characters? Are you tired of 'realism' which boils down to 'heartless, cold, and humorless?' Does the Dark Elf trope give you hives? Wouldn't it be nice to have more than one -- or one *type* -- of strong female character? Do you get a little chub for discussions of philosophy, theology, and sociology? Wouldn't it be nice if the writer talking about lost/ancient civilizations had any idea whatsoever how that sort of thing worked?

If you answered yes to any or all of those questions *and* you still have a soft spot for sword and sorcery somewhere within your embittered soul... you might want to give these books a try. The first eight books are available here, the ninth is available in the UK, and the tenth -- and last -- *will* be out next year. No waiting, baby.

Jack and I have been devouring these books with unholy glee for the last several weeks, and we are in love. We've been using the ILL system, but we *will* be buying copies of all of them as money becomes available, because, yes, they *do* get even better once you reread them. It's like *that*.

Here's the wiki. Be careful of spoilers as you ramble around.

Here's a lovely fandom_of_one introduction.

NOTE: I have not yet finished Book #7: Reaper's Gale. Spoil me and I bugger you with a short-sword.

So, I've pimped. What's the other point of this post? Jack's birthday was yesterday and I was unable to get the DCU story I'd planned to work for me, so... I wrote one for *this* universe. Nice and short and just a little dirty, featuring two of our -- many, many, *many* -- favorite characters.

You interested? )

Skin Time
by Te
January 15, 2009

Disclaimers: No one and nothing here is mine.

Spoilers/Timeline: Exceedingly vague references to older storylines. Takes place in a nebulous 'now.'

Summary: In which manipulation is a generally positive sort of thing.

Ratings Note/Warning: Sexual content.

Author's Note: Ah, kink. Sometimes you're the best excuse of all. Which is to say: look elsewhere for profundity.

Acknowledgments: Much love to Jack, Pixie, and Mildred for audiencing and encouragement.

Yep, story )

by Te
November 10, 2008

Disclaimers: No one and nothing here is mine.

Spoilers/Timeline: References to various older storylines. Meant to take place not long after "A Death in the Family," or, depending on how you look at it, Red Hood's earlier adventures through the canon I'm not actually reading.

Summary: Jason knows how to make things better.

Ratings Note/Warnings: Sexual content which does and doesn't dovetail with the content some readers may find disturbing. I'm extra serious this time. In fact... Jack suggested that I provide an *extra* warning: If you can't watch this video all the way through, this story *might* be a little too fucked for you.

Author's Note: Jack gave me this idea after reading Everything awakened, though this story has nothing to do with the other. There's just something lovely about throwing Jason around the multiverse.

Acknowledgments: Much love to Jack, Pixie, and Mildred for audiencing and encouragement.

Summary: Share and share alike.

Ratings Note/Warnings: Sexual content which does and doesn't dovetail neatly with the content some readers may find disturbing.

A way so familiar
by Te
September 11, 2008

Disclaimers: No one and nothing here is mine.

Spoilers/Timeline: A lot of references to older storylines, the newest being "War Games" and "Identity Crisis." AU all over the place -- and much won't make sense without first reading "The Lesson," which is available here.

Summary: In many ways, it's the role of a lifetime.

Ratings Note/Warnings: Sexual content which mostly does not dovetail with the content some readers may find to be disturbing.

Author's Note/Acknowledgments: I've wanted to write this story for years, but I couldn't have done it without the constant help and input of Petra, Mildred, and especially Jack as they helped me research, picked me up when I was feeling overwhelmed, gave me countless brilliant ideas, and, overall, kept me flying high as I wrote. This... it's the story of my heart, and I think it shows. I hope it works for y'all, too.

Story? Yes, story.

Current Music: The Delgados: "13 Gliding Principles"

Um... hi? Much love to everyone who sent birthday wishes -- I had an absolutely fabulous day, what with the hot sex, the sushi, and the new action figures. (Would any of *you* like a toon!Timmy with a uniform which strongly suggests that he's *Nightwing's* Robin? Because there are a few available...) In any event, I've now got three ginormous WIPs I'm working on, and they're kind of taking *all* of my time, but, well --

Snippet!

I'm sure that I'll eventually get over men in drag, but it really hasn't happened yet. )
