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 💗

AO3 | FFNet | AskFM | Ko-Fi

Now up at AO3. Enjoy!

Ch. 11 - I Was Sinking And Now I'm Sunk, or The Stupid Way You Make Me Feel

Hope you don't mind celebrating Thanksgiving in March.

Moving forward chapters will be posted at AO3, likely a week in advance of them going up at FFNet. Thanks for the support, everyone!

I also started a Ko-Fi 💗💙💚

For those who were blocked from accessing it on FFN! (This was a giant pain in the ass to format for DW and I still fucking hate the way it turned out looking, so if you read it here I would really, really, REALLY appreciate a comment. If it garners no comments, then I apologize, but I'm not sure I'll bother posting it anywhere besides FFN due to the level of aggro involved.)

More Than Human, ch10

part 2


Title: More Than Human
Chapter 10: Tried to Stick A Dead Body Inside of Me, or I Think You Should Know You're His Favorite Worst Nightmare
Pairing: RrB/PpG
Rating: R/M, because they're teenagers and a good handful of them use terrible, filthy language.
Disclaimer: Pay your respect to Craig, not me.
Summary: There is no way I can make this sound original, ever. My attempt to write a believable RrB/PpG in high school fic. Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. – Camus
Notes: Immense thanks to my betas, Arrows and Red, who took up the editing arms and helped me drag this blasted chapter across the Finish Line; thanks always to mathkid and juxtaposie, who helped it to the Starting Line all those years ago.
