Hello all.  So I've never been overly impressed with Live Journals and never really had a need of one.  But I figure if I'm going to be posting any more to the Best Enemies anon meme, I might as well just have a journal with which to occasionally do things with.

( Click here for the basic FAQCollapse )

I've decided to be magnanimous and give you guys a quick reference to any and all fics you might want to find for those of you who are too lazy to find it by tag.  They are listed by series.  Remember, all roleplay entries are friends locked. I should mention that this list is usually up to date.  I think I've managed to keep it up long enough that I can promise this will usually be a complete list of everything I've put on LJ.   Also, unless otherwise stated, all fics are PG-13 or G.  Still, most of the fics have other warnings, so read those to be on the safe side.


( On with the listCollapse )

So since I can't find my pictures of the Chinese wedding I went to this weekend, I figured I'd do a post about Batman instead.  Because why not?  Now with edit.

Anthropos Polytropos
By: Memory Dragon
Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers movie-verse, nor do I make any claim to.
Characters:  Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov, Bruce Banner, Thor, Amora the Enchantress, Pepper Potts, James Rhodes, Happy Hogan.
Warnings: PTSD. Mentions of past torture. Temporary character death that the characters are aware is (probably) only temporary, though it still takes it's mental toll on them.  Mentions of potential child abuse.  Mind fuckery.  Minor self-abuse.  Cliff hangers.  Generally dark fic, though there is a happy ending and no one actually dies.  Not Iron Man 3 compliant in the slightest.  If you have any questions about the warnings, I'd be more than happy to clarify as best I can.
Rating: I think I'm just going to leave this at an M due to how dark it gets and some of the themes.
Summary:  He doesn't remember much from before he woke up, but he does know two things.  He doesn't like being called Tony Stark, and he hates Captain America.
Thanks: Many thanks to narwhale_callin for the beta. Also, many thanks to keroseneSteve and kerravon for being the only two people across lj, AO3, and ff.net who decided it was worth commenting on.  I do appreciate the comments, and kudos people have left.
Notes: So, hey, it looks like China has stopped blocking lj again.  Yay for that.  Anyway, this chapter has way more Captain America, and some of the PTSD trigger warnings.  I was honestly wondering if Tony's panicking in this chapter was a bit too much... and then I saw Iron Man 3 and realized I probably could have gotten away with more.  So yay for that too!  Also, the next chapter may be posted on Monday instead, because Fridays tend to be more hectic.

Prologue

( Waking up was a terrible idea. That usually meant more pain, though he couldn't have said how he knew that was a thing.Collapse )

So, China has started blocking lj.  While that doesn't matter overly much for me, since I have a VPN, there are reasons I have to turn the VPN off for long periods of time.  Which means I might not be checking lj with my normal frequency.  I am not letting this stop fic.

You can't stop the signal.

On another Green Rage Monster China cursing moment, they cut the movies in the movie theaters as soon as the credits start rolling.  Which means I had to go on youtube to watch the post credit scene in Iron Man 3.  China, you are not being shiny.  Not shiny at all.

I finally come bearing fic!  Blame Nar being busy if you want more.  Anyway, here's the start of Avengers long fic.  I did at least get it out before May 4th.

Thanks: Many thanks to narwhale_callin to finally getting around to betaing this.  Even if it did take her a while and there's still another fic waiting for you in your inbox.  I'll forgive you this once since you're busy graduating and making us proud.

Notes:  So hey, I managed to get this out before May 4th.  Just barely by a few hours, but it's totally still morning in the states anyway.  I do have a few notes about this sucker.

First, this fic is long.  It's over 57k at the moment, provided Nar doesn't make me cut it down more, and in eight parts.  It is completely finished, aside from some betaing, so if all goes well I should update once a week.  Though I may move my update day from Friday to Monday since that may end up being easier on me in the long run.  Even if I don't make my once a week deadline though (I have accidentally forgotten to update in the past, and Nar is a busy person), I promise you this fic will be completed.  I didn't write 57k just to let it sit on my hard drive after all, even if it is all completely jossed by Iron Man 3.

Second, I'm afraid I've once again failed at slash.  I do think I've put Steve and Tony in a fairly satisfying relationship of some sort, be it friendship or something more, by the end of the fic though, so don't write me off just because I'm a gen writer.  I know how you slashers' minds work.  Give it a chance, even if there aren't any make out sessions.  What I lack in UST, I make up for with ridiculous amounts of cuddles and subtext.

Third, pay attention to the warnings (and do let me know if I've left anything out, because it's a long fic and I can't help but feel I've forgotten something).  As stated, all character deaths are temporary, but this does get to be a bit of an Avengers Hamlet for a while.  I don't even have a Horatio to be left alive at the end.

Finally, I've revisited the amnesia trope with this fic, because really, I do love amnesia fics.  While Tony doesn't have his memories, he does have a strange knack for quoting literature that is eventually explained.  There are also a lot of other strange things that take a while for explanations to come, but I promise there is some sort of method to the madness.  At least, if there isn't, I should hope Nar will point it out to me before I post more...

Without further ado, I'll let you guys get started reading if I haven't scared you away yet.
( He woke with a start to complete darkness. And complete darkness? Totally panic inducing for reasons he couldn't fathom.Collapse )

So, first of all, I have finally listened to all the audios in the main line of Big Finish.  All current 172.  It only took me a few years.  I feel accomplished though.  Silly thing to feel accomplished about, but hey.  I fully recommend them, should you get the chance.  Also, the Destiny of the Doctor so far has been lovely.  Oh, Eleven.  Totally worth the $40, so don't just take my word for it.  So are the Fourth Doctor Adventures, btw.  The main thing is that I don't know what to start on next.  I've got three big choices, and I figured I'd ask you guys your opinion.  And hey, poll!

Which line should Mem start on next?

So, yeah, there's that.  On to the second fannish thing.  Sadly, I think this one will be mostly ignored since I don't think many people share the fandom.  Still, it's worth a shot.

Basically, I've been re-playing Chrono Trigger, as you do, and have gotten to the Kingdom of Zeal and all the lovely bits the game doesn't really fill out.  And for the first time I thought I might like some fic of this.  Except, I really don't want to spend my time searching through Chrono Trigger fics because I'm not that big on the fandom.  Which is where you guys come in.  Rec me good Schala and/or Magus/Janus fics.  Heck, I'll probably take a good fic even if it doesn't have to do with them, but those are the ones I'm mainly looking for.  Time-y whime-y is totally an added plus.  One specific game ending aside though, I'm really not sure I can handle Crono talking, so keep that in mind.

Thanks for the input! 

My typing is completed.  Both Amy-verse and Avengers long fic is typed up and awaiting betaing.  Life is good.  It only took me how long?  Let's not go into that.  Anyway, expect fic from me soon.

And now I'm going to go, since Chinese computers are being screwy and not letting me type more than a few words without clicking out of the browser.  l8r.

narwhale_callin seems to think that I've used the quote "Now I do not know whether it was then I dreamt I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man." before on some fic.  I'm also decently sure that I haven't and that Avengers long fic is the first time.

So, ye people of the internet who read my fics, which of us is correct?  Have I used the butterfly quote before?  Or is Nar just making things up?

Also, to be a not complete waste of space, the next Amy-verse is finally awaiting beta.  It only took me how many months after finishing it?  Yeah, let's not go there.  And Avengers long fic has two more chapters an an epilogue for me to type so I can send that to Nar.  So new fic for you guys is in sight, I promise.
