Nothing is always absolutely so.

My last three "birthday" tagged posts have this exact same subject line. (Four now.)

OKAY WELL. It's that time again! I'm a few days late, but in my defense, I am also struggling (and I do mean s t r u g g l i n g ) to finish the KU project up! True to form, I have a list of edits I must do (short) and a list of edits I'd like to do (long), but I'm trying to let go of the part of myself that needs this to be absolutely perfect because I won't learn if I can actually make this work by being overly precious. (Besides, that kind of energy is already being devoted to TEF, and I'm loathe to put that kind of energy elsewhere anyway.)

BUT that's not what we're here for today. Today we celebrate a birthday! (3 days late, but uhhhh hey beats that time I took an extra 3 damn months to finish the thing, heh.) Better yet, we celebrate with a project I've been meaning to get back to for a long, long time. Years, you might say. Which I suppose is par for the course for me.

In any case, here she be :)

Title: Best Beware the Sting
Chapter: 2
Characters/Pairing: Bubbles/Princess, Ppg/RrB (one-sided?)
Rating: R/M for violence, language, and uhhh sexy situations I guess?
Disclaimer: Not my characters, please don’t sue me (or tell CMcC I exist).
Summary: Two teams of three try to 1) at best, beat each other up; 2) at worst, kill each other; 3) at least, work together. Spy/Assassin!AU.
Notes: Again, completely and wholly inspired by racketballs’ (IG) PpG as spies/RrB as assassins AU and is completely and wholly for racketballs. I forgive you for requesting this for your birthday and immediately forcing me to write a bunch of action scenes. (Happy Birthday!) Un-beta'd.

I might need a new tag for this one. So fun to work on this, honestly! Would love to hear what y'all think 💗

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RB!!! To celebrate, I am sharing a sfw preview of a nsfw fic being penned in rb's honor about everyone's favorite green ship 💚💚

( I still haven't titled this yet oops )

If you read this much and enjoyed it you are obligated to go wish rb a happy birthday rn!!!

Some months back I posted a quote that seemed to me like a fantastic summary for a Reds piece. My life these days is work and fic. So. Here is more fic.

Title: LBD
Pairing: Reds
Rating: PG-13/T
Disclaimer: Not mine. I just like to make them each others'.
Summary: If you look good in white, you look really good in black. - Karim Rashid (from this interview)
Notes: In all honesty I wouldn't have written it if wei_chan hadn't demanded it, so consider this belated birthday fic for wei_chan. The dress in my head was this fabulous thing (but please ignore the model's footwear). Un-beta'd.

Three fic posts in a row! WHAT IS GOING ON.

Title: Metamorphosis
Pairing: Maybe Blues, and if that, one-sided
Rating: G/K
Disclaimer: Craig gets all the money. I’m just here for the LOVE.
Summary: Boomer doesn’t know if he’s ready for this.
Notes: SOOOO LATE. Finally getting caught up on birthday fic, though! For juxtaposie, whose special day was back in... like, end of July. (I’M SORRY, ILU.) Last year’s request was winter-themed; 2010’s is autumn-themed. Let’s hope I did your greatness justice. Beta’d by mathkid, because special people deserve special treatment.

Hey! People should ask me about my favorite female characters so I have an excuse to talk about awesome fictional women :B

I'll be honest, I did struggle a bit with this in the beginning, but wound up liking where it went, so hopefully I pulled it off. Happy Birthday to jupitrie , who asked for “a fic that kind of echoes the scenes of Butch escorting Buttercup through a really girly activity... but you know...with chaos and violence abruptly ending a semi-serene moment.” There is a teensy bit of Reds in there, just for you :)

Awesome people need to stop having birthdays before I run out of ideas, geez.

Title: Black Lace And Arsenic, In That Order
Pairing: Mostly Greens friendshippy(?) fic, with touches of Red and Blue.
Rating: PG-13 for mild cursing and lacy underthings.
Parts: One-shot
Disclaimer: Please don't get mad at me for making your characters do crazy shit like this, Mr. McCr*cken.
Summary: Butch and Buttercup go lingerie shopping. Yeah, really.
Notes: Belated birthday fic for jupitrie, who draws and is awesome.
