[livejournal.com profile] akatsuki210 said: For the "science and magic" prompt: Star Trek: The Next Generation/Sandman. When Data begins to use his dream program, he encounters Morpheus, who welcomes him as the first non-biological life-form to enter the Dreaming.

Note: I seem to have wound up with Daniel rather than Morpheus, whoops. Also, TNG is not really my Trek, so I cribbed everything about Data's dreams from Memory Alpha. *wry* Also also, I'm pretty sure there have been other non-biological species in the Dreaming before -- it's huge, it's old, it touches multiple universes -- but Data can still be the first of his species to get there. (400 words exactly)

Transition State )

Two down, more to go... :)

[personal profile] musesfool said: I think something with Finn, Rey, & BB8 for your "cute" cotton candy square would be awesome. *g*

Note: I cribbed some information about Jakku and Rey's past from Wookiepedia, but most of the worldbuilding in this ficlet is blithely made up -- because I wanted to and because I can. :D

This is pretty dark for a fluff ficlet, since it contains discussion of animal death and general references to Finn and Rey's traumatic pasts, but the main theme is about hope and togetherness and stuff. (1,175 words)

Foundlings )

Ha, victory!

[livejournal.com profile] wistfulmemory said: I would love to claim the "picnic" prompt with Cimorene, Morwen, and Kazul having to deal with unexpected ambassadors.

Note: So that took way too long to write... *sigh* Also, if you find yourself curious about Thelistra and Andovan, you can read their earlier adventures (and the tale of how Morwen met Kazul) in The Affairs of Dragons, a story I wrote for Femgenficathon back in 2008. (3,525 words)

An Unexpected Meeting )

Okay, that's one project down! Now on to editing "Second Chances," whipping up two original gift!fic outlines, and planning and writing my FandomTrumpsHate auction fic. (And by the time I'm done with all that, it will doubtless be time for WIP Big Bang, which I'd like to participate in again this year for reasons that should be obvious. *wry*)

Note: Not compliant with the credits snapchats, because reasons. :) (2,700 words)

Some Little Talk a While of Me and Thee )

It's still a little disjointed, I think, but whatever. I win. \o/

Note: This took me slightly over five months to write, because reasons, but I got there in the end. :D (1,075 words)

Maboroshi )

Victory! \o/

I have two more prompts to fill from that particular mini-ficlet prompt meme, after which I will get to work on some other projects that have also been languishing while I took a mental health break from writing.

[personal profile] marmota_b said: Can I claim "adventure/quest" and ask for more of Susan and Lucy's Interesting Times? Please? 'Susan only went to fetch a few jars of jam. Meanwhile, the daring Captain Lucy, aged nine, accompanied by her loyal crew of Otter pups, set sail to the Port of Pantry.' (2,550 words)

Note: The problem with this story is that in my head, Susan and Lucy's 'interesting times' are BIG adventure-type things -- shipwrecks! kidnapping by magical birds! surprising a group of invading soldiers! etc. -- not two people (and a group of young Otters) crashing into each other in the kitchen. So I tried to work up some big thing that the pantry chaos could lead into, and that kept turning into an irretrievable mood clash that made me flinch away from the story every time I went to add another hundred words.

(I do still intend to write the big thing I came up with, but without the comedy and incidental Otters. Also it will be about half story and half academic textbook, because reasons, and involve all four Pevensies instead of only Susan and Lucy.)

Anyway, the upshot is that I ditched the long 'interesting times' story as unworkable and instead wrote a small fic about a minor domestic accident and slightly differing interpretations of how to be a responsible queen. Which is probably what you wanted all along and I'm the one who tripped over myself and made a lot of unnecessary bother for three weeks. *wry*

Continuity notes: The weather problems Susan mentions are detailed in Dedication. Mrs. Grubbins is the castle healer who previously appeared in Liminality.

[ETA: The slightly revised final version is now up on AO3!]

Responsibility )

This concludes the latest iteration of my mini-ficlet prompt meme, with a third bingo. :) (I still have six Cotton Candy Bingo squares to fill, so I may run this again, but not for a while. I have other things to work on first.)

[livejournal.com profile] wistfulmemory said: I would love to claim "color" with Morwen and Telemain and the results that come about when Telemain gets distracted from a tricky experiment.

Note: Stokey's Academy in Otterton is a bit of fanon I made up for a trio of backstory fics about Morwen. I wrote one of them (The Affairs of Dragons) for Femgenficathon 2008. The other two remain sadly unfinished and thus unposted. (1,600 words)

[ETA: The slightly revised final version is now up on AO3!]

A Splash of Color )

That was fun! :)

[tumblr.com profile] runespoor7 said: Prompt: Rose + Dirk, Open, making Dave very nervous and Roxy very why-is-everything-always-so-wonderful.

Note: As you can see, Roxy stole POV rights before I could decide whether to give them to either Rose or Dirk, and she was so enthusiastic I didn't have the heart to take them away from her. *wry* (875 words)

Truth or Dare )

Bingo again! \o/

[tumblr.com profile] gracefularchitect said: Characters: Rose, Jade, Word: Favourite, Scenario: 'Rose & Jade have very different ideas on favourite food. They try to find something of mutual delight.' Oh, forgot to add: Could be in the same universe as Leaf & Letter, but it's so general it doesn't matter x)

Note: This wound up somewhat diagonal to the prompt and took an unexpected detour through angst on its way to the mostly happy ending. Oops? As per the secondary part of the prompt, this is another installment of the Leaf and Letter AU, wherein Rose is an author and Jade owns a plant shop. It falls between the two [2,450 words]

(Content note: Rose talks about her mother's alcoholism and its effects on her childhood.)

Who Contract the Habit of Eating )

Random fact: it is actually true that Kraft stopped using artificial colors and flavors in their mac and cheese. I know this because articles about that fill most of the first page of Google results when you look up 'kraft mac and cheese' in an attempt to check what is actually printed on the blue boxes (which I then ended up not describing at all in the ficlet at all, because that's how my life works).

Another random fact: I had instant Kraft mac and cheese for dinner tonight. One little-mentioned hazard of writing is that occasionally one incepts oneself with some really annoying and/or ridiculous cravings. *headdesk*

[personal profile] sablin27 said: Can I use the wild card on: Uhura, Spock and Gaila chase friendly but flighty magical cards (a la Card Captor Sakura)?

Note: So I've never read or watched Cardcaptor Sakura, but I hope this is more or less what you wanted. :D (900 words)

[ETA: The slightly revised final version is now up on AO3!]

Cardcaptor Uhura )

That was fun!
