Nothing is always absolutely so.

Apologies for my lengthy silence! I have been working on many a thing, albeit slowly! One of which is the annual birthday fic for you-know-who. I'd say HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY except I sent this to her on time! This Dreamwidth post is just a bonus!

(Okay it isn't the whole thing yet even thought it's done but I still need to format it for posting but if you can't wait to find out what happens maybe rb will tell you nicely if you sign up for her Patreon or buy her a Ko-Fi or something)

(also this is a v small snippet b/c honestly the sfw part is uhhhhh not a lot lol)

(This one isn't up yet, but reminder that if you want to access any of the spicy stuff, read this plz)

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 💗

Title: Exuviation

Rating: R/M for language.
Disclaimer: Obviously not my characters. Dear God please don’t tell CMcC about me.
Summary: There's a baby coming and Butch has feelings about it.
Notes: Written for rb’s bday. Thanks for giving me an excuse to write something sappy. Also hey I'm on time for once! ♥ 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.

Hope everyone has a safe, lovely holiday ♥

I hadn't originally intended to write sappy touchy-feely Greens, but the spirit compelled me.

Title: Here
Characters/Pairing: Greens
Rating: R/M, if the afterglow counts. I mean, allusions are made. But no “act of” here.
Disclaimer: I only own the words and even that’s debatable.
Summary: A small piece of something that's bloomed into something less small since. But the rest will come later.
Notes: Weird that I feel I have to specify this is outside of the TEF/MTH-universe these days. That used to be a given! I mean, way back before I was too long in the tooth to hang out here. (Not that that’s stopped me.) The summary applies to my notes, too: A small piece of something that's bloomed into something less small since; more to come later. Un-beta'd.
