Meme again, because everyone's doing it! This is very exciting for me as I'd never had a WIP folder before a month or two ago. \O/

I will post the names of all the files in my WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Choose one (1), and I will post a random line or two. (Note: some of the docs in my WIP folder don't have anything in them yet, but I'm hoping that this will make me get those started.)

WEREWOLVES IN BASTOGNE.

though I have a feeling I've already read its contents. XD

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

You have read its contents, but I'll post them anyway! :D

“Dick,” Nix says from the relative safety of the next foxhole over. “You, uh. You know what the boys are saying about you?”

“They say a lot of things, Nix,” Dick replies. “They’re like old women on Sunday afternoons.” Nix is silent. Dick sighs, bangs his head against carved out ground. “Will you just come out and say it already?”

“What, you have a pressing engagement elsewhere?”

“Lew.”

"The Courtship of Janos Quested!" (Although you've already told me about it in detail. I DON'T CARE. I LOVE THEIR CATTY ROMANCE.)

And, if I can do two, "i guess steve and tony are getting married?" because of the name alone XD

Here's the beginning of the Janos/Azazel story...

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

The first time Lehnsherr makes the entire Coulson Engineering marketing department march into HR and demand his blood is the day Azazel meets Janos Quested for the first time. (Later, they will both deny that he has anything to do with them meeting. It's a point of contention between them, and Janos very much doesn't appreciate feeling like he owes Lehnsherr anything, much less his boyfriend. Azazel privately agrees, but he still buys Lehnsherr coffee once or twice a week, "just because," he says.)

That's actually not where this story starts.

And now for some Steve/Tony...

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

"This is a very, very bad idea, Stark," Natasha says. Pepper nods emphatically in agreement.

"You don't have to tell me twice," replies Tony. "But look on the bright side - once Steve and I are married, I'll be at least 37% less likely to get into trouble."

"37% is being absurdly optimistic," Pepper says.

"20%?"

"Let's say 1% and call it a day."

the most self-indulgent genderfuck romance ever

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

"This isn't a game, Ms. Xavier," Lehnsherr tells her, and Charlotte, irrationally angry at this thinly veiled insinuation, wishes he wasn't wearing that absurd helmet so she could show him exactly what sort of games a telepath of her calibre is capable of.

"I can assure you, Commander," she grates out, "I don't consider this to be a game of any sort. And now that you've torn my house to pieces and terrorized my students and found nothing that I can be arrested for, I must ask you to please leave the premises."

He glares at her but nods. "Very well," he says. "But I'll be back in a month or so. Standard procedure follow-up, you understand."

Charlotte bites back the sharp refusal that leaps to the tip of her tongue. "Oh, I understand. Perhaps this...follow-up can be conducted with less property damage. Provided you're capable of that much decorum."

Guh-hee! ♥

AAAAH THE CRIMINDS REGENCY AU

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

A day later he is on a ship back to England. Aaron genuinely liked and respected Jason Gideon, yes, but he can't help but feel a small amount of frustration for having been called away from work at such a delicate time. Still, the barristers' letter claims that Gideon's estranged wife and son have been taken care of, and now the remainder of his uncle's estate must be dealt with as soon as possible. Their words make Aaron believe there is some strange urgency at hand, though what, he has no idea.

Aaron is not expecting to be handed custody of Jason Gideon's four wards.

Bavarian kittens!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Emma, unsurprisingly, recovers from the shock of seeing Charles first. "What the hell are you doing here, Xavier?" she asks. Kurt flinches at her tone, but before she can apologize, Charles produces a tiny black kitten from the basket he has resting in his lap.

"Kätzchen!" Kurt exclaims gleefully.

"Oh, don't give him that," Raven moans.

5 times the TARDIS landed somewhere rather inconvenient

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I am sorry," the Doctor says. He pats one side of the TARDIS fondly. "Old girl likes to take us places on a whim, can't always make heads or tails of it."

The group of men (all wearing what appear to be senatorial robes) merely stare at him, the daggers in their hands steady and pointy ends still directed at the man on the ground in the middle of them.

"Er, did I interrupt something important?" asks the Doctor.

(Hopefully the situation he dropped in on comes across in this little bit XD)

[amymccabe.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, and that's funny! Oh the awkward moments he could pop in on!

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

OK, I feel better now. I only have...let's see, an xmen_firstkink prompt, the three ladies_fest things and the upcoming bigbang_mixup. :D BUT I NEED TO GET ON THAT SHIT

(wow let's try linking things correctly)

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that doesn't seem so bad! Every time I look at this list, I despair a little bit, especially considering all the OTHER stuff I have coming up, too. XD

Emma prompt!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

The cell the CIA keeps her in isn't the most uncomfortable of residences Emma has been forced to stay in over the years, though she must admit that the transition from yacht and luxury submarine to four walls of reinforced concrete and metal has been rather trying. Still - she's prepared to bide her time here until someone (anyone, really, she's not picky) inevitably remembers to let her out. And if she's subtly nudging that process of remembering along, well. No one, except for Charles Xavier, is going to notice.

[metonymy.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahaha!

daycare - future drabbles!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Raven kicks him underneath the table as their teacher drones on about some formula that has X's and Y's in it. Alex scowls at her. He hadn't been paying attention really, but he knows that he'll be the one in trouble if they get caught talking again. She kicks his leg again.

"Stop it," Alex hisses at her. Raven grins and shifts, and suddenly Alex is looking at a mirror image of himself.

"Stop it," Raven mimics.

Alex narrows his eyes. "I'll tell your parents about you and Angel kissing in the craft closet last week," he threatens. "You're all coming over for dinner this Saturday, I could totally just blurt it out."

"You wouldn't," Raven scoffs.

Master/Doctor powerplay

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

"It's not enough, you know," the Master continues conversationally. "This - whatever this is - it'll come to a head eventually. And then where will we be?"

"Who knows," replies the Doctor. "And isn't the uncertainty wonderful?"

"Not really."

[fluffygremlin.livejournal.com]

Such a perfectly Doctor-esque line. =D

the autobiography of charles francis xavier....

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

CHAPTER ONE - SCIENCE IS THE SUREST WAY TO GET GIRLS IN BED, TRUST ME, I’M CHARLES XAVIER

He can practically feel the disapproval radiating off Raven. Charles is fairly confident that if he actually did read her mind right now, she'd be thinking something particularly unpleasant about his parentage or (much worse) his intelligence.

"What?" Charles asks. "Was the line too much? Do you think it went over her head?"

"You're actually an idiot, you bastard," Raven says as she shakes her head and walks away from him.

Original Something!

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

The next thing I know, I’m on the floor, and my head is throbbing. I must have hit it on the way down. I feel clammy, though not quite cold - feverish, I guess. Mom is sitting on the bench, and her left hand is holding my right, and her right hand is stroking my forehead. She’s probably waiting for me to open my eyes to check if I have a concussion. Dad is still standing, still facing the altar where the priest is now reciting the Creed along with the rest of the churchgoers.

Mom is holding my hand. Dad isn’t paying attention to anything but the Mass. I want to cry.
