Fic Rush: the two-day ficathon

Just as I was finishing this post, the browser freaked and lost the post. Usually that's not a problem. DW saves a draft. This time it did not. UGh

I did get to go to Bacon Jam today, that new restaurant. Had a honey chili crisp bacon grilled cheese with a bit of soup. It was good, real good. The latte was less exciting.


Let's get to the fannish stuff and since SDCC is going on there's plenty but before that I could use some help. I got another comment_bingo card and I have two tough ones, romantic fandom and a story from a rec list. Anyone have either for me (I could probably pull the rec list from some of you who do challenges and put up stories but man, romantic?!?)

( SDCC YT announcements )


And here's my story. Maybe someone will like it

Title: Maybe He’s No Romeo


Summary: Knowing he only has a short window of time before Valentino’s respawned, Angel desperately wants to go to a certain overlord’s mansion filled with all the best booze and sex toys. Boosting his brother’s car, Angel heads to Husker’s for a day of fun.

Rating: explicit

Notes: Written for the summer of the 69 challenge for the prompt of sopping wet 69 and for spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The six words were Jail, Invite Ladder, Drive, Drug & Parallel. It’s also written for the allbingo prompt of midnight kiss as well as the lyrical titles album challenge 2025 .I’m using the Footloose album and the song this time is Let's Hear It for the Boy by Deniece Williams.


This is a sequel to my unconventional courtship story, Dandelion which you can read here. if you’d like. All you need to know if you’re not in the mood for longer fic is Husker is the gambling overlord known for throwing wild sex parties and he and Angel had to team up to keep Charlie safe from a delusional sinner. This sequel is an unapologetic PWP.

a work from a comedic canon	a work with multiple authors	a oneshot	a work by a stranger	a work by someone you've come across recently Remarkably, Irreversibly, and Cosmically Intertwined, Hazbin Hotel
a work by someone who's given you a kudos or a comment Delicate, Hazbin Hotel	a work from a fandom you don't normally seek out To: 61A Charrington Gardens, Dial M for Murder	FREE SPACE	a crossover The Mystery of the Purloined Coin Murder She Wrote/The Unusuals	a fanvid
a work from an action/adventure canon	a fic that's over 5k	a work from a rec list	a work from your first fandom	a work from a book canon
a work that stayed with you in some way	a work with your favorite trope	a work with under 10 comments New Discoveries, The Owl House	a fic you reread often	a work you've already commented on Royal Flush, Hazbin Hotel

I had been short listed for my weird west thing but didn't make it in. I'm sad. I loved those girls. There is another weird west open call but the pay is low and I am not feeling it. Sigh. Had one for my watery colonial monster but that open call doesn't want historicals. Sigh. Sometimes it's hard to feel appreciated as an author that's for sure.

So have the book thing

What I Just Finished Reading:

Cinders of Yesterday - Buffy/Supernatural vibes, urban fantasy, lesbian partners (by a queer author) really liked this. It was set up for a second book but I don't see any yet. Maybe she'll be at the Gettysburg Steampunk con again


Zero at the Bone - an old true crime not badly written saggy in the middle

The Crossing Places - really a good mystery but my god the fat shaming in this

Victoria's Electric Coffin #3 - I had no idea this was gonna end in 3 books but in some ways I like that


What I am Currently Reading:

War Child - a Deep Space Nine Novel lackluster like most Star Trek books

The Wood - an urban fantasy I literally lost under my bed for years

Dark and Dangerous Journey - WWII mystery arc


What I Plan to Read Next:

Pantomine - an LGBT (intersexed main character) fantasy, I like it but i'm shelving it for a bit
