Yearly WIP post

[redfiona99]

Version 1 - "Alex knew he should have hated Kostas, but he didn't really, aggravating 'I'd be a better son than Alex' moments notwithstanding, and even those weren't really Kostas's fault." - Stuck but in a different place than before.

Version 2 - "Alex could have fought out of the hold, it would have hurt him, but if he'd kicked Peter in the shin, he'd have got out of it no problem." - Stuck because I just can't write this next bit.





Comment_fic based on the following prompt - 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel/Buffy Summers+Rupert Giles, Angel is her (young, handsome) Watcher; Giles is the vampire with a soul.' - "It's intended to distract him at least, unfortunately, it distracts her." - It sort of grows in fits and starts.

The perpetually stuck Giles/Ethan fic - "There was a rasp to Ethan's voice when he spoke again, but he didn't seem to have learnt his lesson because he started mouthing off again."




Before the Impossible Planet - "Which was often because even though Zach did what you were supposed to in the drills, Scooti was new to this, Ben and Ida were incapable of following orders and Dani dithered." - Stuck!

Untitled Dr Who Fic - "He'd like to say he thought ahead, except it had been Donna who convinced the TARDIS to take them to this resort world."

Eleventyandthemaster - "He wants to know if it's him, or another regeneration, or if it's this Master or another of him, and whether he's supposed to stop it or help him, or what's going on." - Stuck, which is a shame because I love what I have.

Doctorandriversummer - "She could be stark naked (and might well be, one of these days) and they'd treat her every word like strictest gospel." - Stuck

Untitled Corsair fic - "The Corsair was still in his second body when the Doctor first knew him." - stuck




Skip To The End - "'Everyone's fine, Moony, 'cept you by the looks of it.'"- This was much better in the original but I lost the draft!

Come to Poppy - "Right now, everybody needs one." - Last of the OPI fics. Stuck

Untitled McGonagall as Headmistress fic - "Unfortunately, the portrait seemed as trapped in his ambivalence about the place as the man had, and had stayed." - so I think the trick is coming at this from another angle.




Books:

Delayed LGBTfest fic where I need to find one of my science books - "However, he also increased his chemical knowledge for his own benefit, in a manner I feel sure he would have shared with the world, had the situation been otherwise."

Sherlock:

Avoidance, Post-Reichenbach fic, needs a re-watch - "Only without saying vital words like, 'I'm sorry', because Holmeses don't apologise."

Sherlock, Irene Adler fic, that also needs a re-watch - "She finds herself imagining what different implements would sound like against his skin, how they would feel, how it would feel."




Perpetually stuck Thor fic 1 - "Foolish but honest, he treated her as a lady of her station and her achievements warranted, and asked for no special kindnesses beyond her friendship."

Iron Man lgbtfest - "Anyway, what's the point in being Tony Stark if I can't do the things I want to do."

More stuck Thor fic - "The problem seemed to lie in Loki's head, no medicine on Asgard was able to detect anything physical."



Batman:

The fic that will not be titled 'Exit, pursued by Aunts' - "It's still a close-run thing." - about 3000 words, about 1/2 way done.

Chuck:

Untitled goes-AU-at-end-of-first-season-fic - "'You were out. *We* were out. Why would you go back?'" Stuck.

CSI:

Delayed Lgbtfest fic / Please, No Reno Bashing - "The forum rules did say not to bite the newbies, but scientists tended to be short with people who didn't follow rules they felt to be self-evident, even if social rules often weren't." - Sort of stuck.

The Dreamers:

Oh, the warnings for this fic will be a work of art - "'No, no, sir, you have better things to worry about. We will polish the shoes.'"

GI Joe:

Delayed lgbtfest fic - "Duke felt he should probably get on with it."

Gundam Wing:

Delayed lgbtfest fic - "Treize did not want to let him go because it was unfair that all that pressure rested only on him." - It's the link to the next section that's missing.

Heinz Mayo Advert:

Heinz Mayo Advert - "Artie was trying to play the gracious host, as though he just didn't get that the reason Angelo came over was to help him, not to take up more of his time." - Stuck

Hobbit:

Hobbit AU - "Balin dealt with it better than Dwalin, but then again, it was Dwalin's house they were staying in, and it's a thing to be accused of being a corrupt traitor under your own roof by a guest." - Stuck

Last of the Summer Wine:

Delayed lgbtfest fic - "And ferocious."

Mission Impossible 2:

Fic that will need all the warnings - "Ambrose becomes more violent, more disruptive, more determined, like a distilled version of himself."

Mummy:

Untitled Tomb of the Dragon Emperor fic - "Who the hell has friends called Mad Dog anyway? Other than his Dad." - stuck until I find my copy of the DVD or they show it on TV again.

Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy

The long untitled fic - "Then the force of action wore of and the damn thing ached." - or, yours truly now knows more about WW2 combat medicine than she ever suspected she would need to.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles:

Porn that has developed plot - "Kurogane finds his hands exploring Fai's feet, palms over remarkably soft heels." - Stuck in the place these fics always get stuck.

Yes, Prime Minister

Delayed lgbtfest fic - "'Quite correct, Bernard.' That was Sir Humphrey." - Stuck




Hamlet gen fic - "'With your permission, I will hide in here until they've gone, and everything will settle to what it was before.'" - About 3 paragraphs from done but I don't know what shape they'll take.

Henry V - Towards Southampton - very bitter sort of Henry V/Poins, Henry V/Scroop, Scroop/Poins - "And he would have listened had Scroop told him." - attempt number 3 continues.

Twelfth Night - "After the suggestion, it was a wonder he could keep his mind off the idea for more than five minutes at a time." - Help, this is just short of 9200 words and it's not even 2/3rd done.




One of the last outstanding PornBattle fics - "Jack would love to have said that he was going through the archives systematically, but he was basically doing it box by box, top of each section to the bottom." - I have figured out how to work round the Owen problem. I may be about to get my technobabble on. (Fic has also grown a second sex scene).

Whiskey Hotel Echo November - Sequel to And Yet They Say You Shouldn't Meet Your Heroes - "Especially as he doesn't know how much Rogers knows in the here and now, because this time period wasn't covered all that well by any of the books Jack had read." - Which I have already had to re-write due to crashing into canon twice and it's only 250 words long so far.

lgbtfest fic - "Humans can only be completely serious for so long before something snaps, and it's better to get it out of your system than to hold it all in and ... well see Alex, see Suzie." - Stuck.

Delayed lgbtfest fic that's become unstuck but may be spinning off-prompt - "He regrets lying to Jack and the way he lied."




Jamie Noble and Mickie James gen fic - "Against Beth, who'd taken her title, after cheating, and who'd locked her out of having a rematch through further shenanigans." - About one section away from being done.

Swings and Roundabout - "It was more tightly run, which meant there was less freedom, which chafed a little, and also probably explained the rest of the odd feeling." - why have I written 8000 words of Jindrak/Orton? Why is it only 2/5th done?

All Our Fathers - "He could feel Cody's frustrations, but he couldn't understand him." - Orton, Cody and Cena gen fic that is stuck.

CrimsonMorgan - "'I've decided that the grunting is some sort of mating call.'" - Stuck. It's the transition from section 2 to section 3 that doesn't work, or rather, doesn't exist.

Opera's much delayed birthday fic - "'Can you imagine it, you, hidden away at my house, where only I can see you.'"

Delayed lgbtfest fic - "It's not flirting, it's being friendly, and no-one she hugs ever takes it as being anything else."

Untitled Road Dogg/Billy Gunn fic - "It wasn’t like it was a hardship." - Stuck

50 Kinky Ways fic:

10CandleWax - "Other people reel off lists of matches, or burger joints, or motorbikes, Edge has lists of conquests and kinks."
22Blindfold - "On her, it's worth it." Some of you will notice this used to be 6. Restraints, and then I realised it didn't work and reworked it.
32Brandig - "Randy couldn't figure out what they were for, but decided not to worry about it." Stuck and trust me, Randy should have worried about it.




Spite fic, which I know you shouldn't write but ... - "But she came back, same as they all did, because shitty as it was, it was their place."

Gambit-related canon-welding - "Someone had cared about that, and it had hurt Remy deeply."

Painfully delayed Angel/Mystique fic - "Instead Angel curled her fingers back in Mystique's hair, and said, 'hey, hey, it's not a problem. We're practising, right.'"

Plus a couple of fics with no words, just a notepad file, and some very short comment-fic/lgbtfest fic starting points.

No fics moved into the "never going to be finished" folder, and nothing so unstuck that it's been finished, but a couple might have been shaken loose.
