the deep moans round with many voices

Summary: Ekanu and Denifar on the vision isle. (250 words)

Note: This ficlet is another snippet of "Harvest," this one set sometime after Harvest: Downwind -- I'm inclined to think perhaps the next morning?

( Harvest: Stepping Stones )

---------------------------------------------

I would really like to finish "Harvest" by the end of the year...

Summary: The Enterprise is on its third day surveying yet another uninhabited star system beyond the Federation's borders when they receive a highest priority message from the Confederacy of Surak. (575 words)

[ETA: The AO3 crosspost is now up!]

( Request and Require )

So about that one non-canonical planetary name...

I continue to think that the name 'New Vulcan' is stupid and unimaginative, and also speaks to a terribly human-centric worldview. In my heart, the Vulcans' new homeworld will always be called Vik, something I picked up from jacquez's amazing fic The Word for World Is--, which deals with the rebuilding of Vulcan culture after the disaster that nearly obliterated their people. (You should go read that story. It will stick with you for a long time.)

Summary: Aradia's friends come to check up on her and make sure her brush with magic hasn't backfired. (625 words)

Note: This ficlet is a direct sequel to Untimely Ripped and Have Lighted Fools the Way.

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

( And Beat Them Backward Home )

Maybe someday I'll get to the actual magic lessons part of this AU. But for now, we are still dealing with emotional fallout.

(I feel SO MUCH BETTER when I'm actively writing stuff, no matter how tiny and irrelevant said stuff may be.)

Summary: The thing is, Roxy never really wanted a sister. She wanted her mom. (650 words)

Note: This ficlet was inspired by the 7/19/15 15_minute_ficlets word #232. It's also a Cotton Candy Bingo fill for the prompt: acceptance, because why not.

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

( Only Children )

Lalala, just doing little finger exercises...

Summary: Jade brings Davesprite to LOFAF on a quest to recreate her eclectic bass. Naturally they get derailed by tangents. (625 words)

Note: Three things! 1) This ficlet was inspired by the 7/5/15 15_minute_ficlets word #230. 2) It is also a response to the Cotton Candy Bingo prompt: music. 3) It's part of my Tales from the Yellow Yard series, set a week or two after Short Story Long. It's early enough in that journey that it works in both the Game Over and Retcon timelines, so you can imagine it whichever way you please.

( An Elephant with Laryngitis )

Yes, I did that thing with the prompt words on purpose. :D

Also, yes, this prompt was on my first Cotton Candy Bingo card as well. Coincidences happen! The fact that I filled both prompts with female Homestuck characters attempting to alchemize stringed instruments is less coincidental, but hey, if it ain't broke... *shrug*
