Ladystuck, eeeeeee!!!

Ladystuck fics are live!

I got the most amazing gift. It is so amazing, you don't even know. No, seriously. *bounces like a rabbit on speed*

Okay, so I made one prompt to the effect of Jade English in the alpha timeline. Growing up, working on her tech company, discovering things about Lord English and the game, meeting Dave and/or Rose (because she MUST have met them), finding Jake, building her home on Hellmurder Island, stealing Jack Noir's fourth wall, her last confrontation with the Batterwitch... anything, really! She never seems to get written about and that is a horrible, terrible crying shame that needs to be rectified ASAP... and got a fic that deals with ALL OF THOSE THINGS. All of them! In one story! Plus also lots and lots of amazing historical details, like Amelia Earhart, the Manhattan Project, the space program, early television, etc. Also it is a wonderful portrayal of Jade and John as siblings, fighting both against and for each other, and a deliciously creepy horror story about their time under the Condesce's thumb before Jade ran away from home.

My Only Daughter a Smoking Gun: (by [archiveofourown.org profile] shellfishDimes) Jade Crocker's childhood memories were a collage of red and white. Red like mixing bowls and spoons, like the hairband their mother always wore to keep her long, raven hair pulled from her face. White like flour and starched aprons that their mother wore, white like the icing her brother piped on the cakes their mother had baked. Red like the cocktail cherries Jade put on top while her mother held her over it when her legs were too short to reach the top of the counter. (16,000 words)

AND! And there is also MUSIC! Did I mention the music? Because there is music!

So yeah.

Go read and listen and heap praises upon my writer [archiveofourown.org profile] shellfishDimes for lo, they are GREATLY DESERVED.

This one is for a whole bunch of people, because I guess we all asked for something to the general effect of "Vriska and Terezi, the early days," but I don't care, I will pretend it is all for me because it is exactly what I wanted from my version of that prompt. Seriously. It is awesome. Go read it and agree with me. :-D
