FRIENDS ONLY.

amazingly_me ---> and_backagain

Yes, it's me, amazingly_me, with a brand new journal! If you're going to friend me, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop a comment here so I know who's on Ye Olde F-List. ♥

(Fic is public.)

As long as tonight is about goofy Avengers things!

Title: Operation: Stays In Vegas
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Steve/Tony & various Avengers shenanigans.
Spoilers/Warnings: No real spoilers, and no warnings except that this is unremitting goofiness with no redeeming value whatsoever. Whee!
Summary: For the prompt, "Whole cast, fun time out. Inspired by this photoset on Tumblr, I want to know everything about this party. Who ended up with who? What happened to Bruce and who, precisely, lost him?" AKA, the Avengers wind up in Vegas on a mission. Their mission is to help with clean up; Tony's mission is to help with clean up and then get everybody hammered.
Notes: 'The Avengers' canon and anything you recognize from it does not belong to me. This is officially the first fic I've ever finished for Avengers fandom, and even though really it's more like a ficlet I still get a kick out of it. The very last bit of dialogue is adapted from the previously linked (and fabulous) gif set, and all of Bruce's trivia comes from the Mental Floss Amazing Fact Generator.

( In the aftermath, the only thing anyone can agree on is that it was all Tony's fault. )

Title: Swear I Was Born Right In The Doorway.
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Victor!Peeta/Gale
Spoilers/Warnings: Warnings for discussion of children murdering children (though no descriptions I'd consider graphic; if you read the books or saw the movie, nothing here should take you by surprise).
Summary: For the prompt, "victor!peeta/gale, [au] katniss dies in the arena and peeta starts a revolution in her name; gale hates the merchants but he hates the capitol more."
Notes: The Hunger Games, a fandom in which I can warn within the same story for both the discussion of children murdering children and the fact that I am (not so) secretly kind of a sap. Also! The title is from the Bright Eyes song First Day of My Life which I listened to obsessively whilst writing (see aforementioned warning re: 'I am a sap') and does not belong to me, nor does The Hunger Games trilogy or anything you recognize from it.

( Gale's mother, who still tries desperately and unsuccessfully to hide her flinch every time Gale tells Peeta he's a dead man if he doesn't move, is just as hopeless at hiding how grateful she is that something, anything, is getting Gale out of his room. )

Yes, I saw the movie. Yes, it ripped out my heart and jumped up and down on it with a truly vicious amount of glee. So basically, it did its job spectacularly well and I thought the entire cast was fantastic, and I will look forward to the next few movies in a way I did not look forward to the next few books (even though I did, in fact, end up reading them) because who knows, maybe I will enjoy them more as films. Plus, more Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson being fabulous on giant screens. I approve! If I get a little more coherent about the whole thing, I will make a post about all the things I love, complete with spoilers. But until then, a few things I have written for this delightful event:



Which is still a going concern, by the by, and which is a fabulous way to watch hours of your life disappear.

Title: You're Wearing Sweatpants. It's Monday.
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Characters/Pairings: Gen-ish, with the named girl tributes all making an appearance.
Spoilers/Warnings: No and no!
Summary: Glimmer and Clove have had a pact since they were ten and gave each other their new movie star names (Glimmer because 'Sparkle' was already taken by the paper towels, and Clove because it had sounded like a sophisticated word at the time, based entirely on the existence of her mother's clove cigarettes): they were going to stay important, no matter what. For the prompt, 'girl tributes, sleepover au.'
Notes: The title is from a Mean Girls quote and is not mine, nor is The Hunger Games trilogy or anything you recognize from it.

( What are we going to do, play Truth or Dare? Spin The Bottle? We're not twelve. )

Title: I'm Not Calling You A Liar
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Finnick/Annie
Spoilers/Warnings: No spoilers; the only warnings are those which would apply to The Hunger Games books themselves (i.e., mention of the murder of children) which, granted, are pretty weighty.
Summary: For the prompt, "Mentor!Finnick/Annie - You got the world but baby at what price? Something so strange, hard to define/ It isn't that hard boy to like you, or love you/I'd follow you down, down, down/You're unbelievable."
Notes: Title is from the Florence + The Machine song of the same name and is not mine, nor is The Hunger Games trilogy or anything you recognize from it.

( But she is from District 4, and she remembers herself well enough to keep her head high and her back straight, and to smile, although she can't seem to force herself to show her teeth. )

Title: You Do By Choice
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Cato/Clove
Spoilers/Warnings: No spoilers; again, warnings for the sort of thing you find in the books themselves: mentions of violence and children killing children.
Summary: For the prompt, "Cato/Clove, drunk the night before going into the Arena."
Notes: Title is from a W. Clement Stone quote and is not mine, nor is The Hunger Games trilogy or anything you recognize from it.

( 'Who first?' He asks halfway through his second glass. )

Title: Like Invisible Strings
Characters: Harry/Luna, some canon-level Ron/Hermione
Word Count: 5052
Rating: PG
Warnings: None!
Summary: The next night, unpacking his trunk, he discovers that he's forgotten his spare set of quills, his last bag of Chocolate Frogs, and his Transfiguration book. Wrapped in a pair of his old socks, though, is the mirror, which Harry had snatched down from the window the moment he'd seen Dumbledore arrive. A Harry&Luna take on Book 6, in which Luna gives Harry a gift, Harry spends quite a lot of time determinedly not thinking about one thing or another, and Hermione despairs of his common sense.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me, nor does anything or anyone you recognize from it. A few of the lines of dialogue in this fic are taken directly from Half-Blood Prince, and those also (perhaps even especially!) do not belong to me. The title of this fic, incidentally, also does not belong to me, and was taken from a song on The Muppets (♥) called "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday."
Notes: Trying to tidy up my internet presence as the new year rings in, so here's something I wrote for interhouse_fest.

( Dear Harry... )
