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 💗

This series has really got me by the neck right now.

Title: Digestif
Characters/Pairing: Blossom; Reds, background Greens.
Rating: T for language. And uh, general horniness?
Disclaimer: I don’t own the PpG. Also I am once again begging you to please not alert CMcC to my existence.
Summary: Blossom has learned to drink slowly.
Notes: I am deep in Reds hell, folks. Follow-up to Timing, itself a follow-up to Small Talk. One more part to go. Un-beta'd.

Making slow progress towards feeling like a human being again. Here's a fic I finished in the meantime.

Title: Small Talk
Characters/Pairing: Blossom; veering towards Reds, along with implied Bubbles/Princess & implied Greens.
Rating: T for language, mostly. And brief references to sex.
Disclaimer: I feel like I’m one of a few who still does this! Old habits die hard. No, I don’t own the PpG.
Summary: “You want something normal because you think that’s what you’re supposed to do, not because you actually want it.” Blossom forgets her date’s name at her sister’s illegal pop up restaurant and runs into an unwelcome face, which is to say that her weekend is not off to a good start.
Notes: Nothing special to say about this one. A scene and a conversation that popped into my head sometime late last year. Un-beta'd.

I've been working on a few things as a break from TEF revisions every once in awhile. It's nice! Here's one of them!

Title: Best Beware the Sting
Chapter: 1
Characters/Pairing: Bubbles/Princess, Ppg/RrB (one-sided?)
Rating: R/M for violence, language, and excessive sexual innuendo (thanks, Butch)
Disclaimer: If I owned the Powerpuff Girls that summary for the live action CW series would never have made it to print.
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: This is completely and wholly inspired by racketballs’ (IG) PpG as spies/RrB as assassins AU and is completely and wholly for racketballs. To know rb is a gift that keeps on giving, and this is my attempt to give a little back. The fandom is beyond lucky to have you 💗💙💚 Un-beta'd.

philosophicwax requested Boomer, hustlin'. I kinda gave away the plot on this semi-recent askFM question.

( The Big Chair )

Someday I will finish these all. (Soon.) Thank you for your patience.
