Things What I Wrote For Yuletide
Echo Location - The Cell - Yeah, I freely admit I had no idea where I was going with this when I started; I threw ideas onto the page. The first one, amusingly, was the one that stuck. I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out. There's not too much else to say except that
lonelywalker was gracious enough to beta it for me and did a fine, fine job.
The Midnight Coalition - Akira - Yes, yes, I did it, I admit it, it was me. Happy now? (For those of you who didn't get to see me flail, this was a friend's pinch-hit. I think it, too, turned out rather well, despite all my flailing because it was a friend's and extra-special.) I re-read the comics. They were a lot sadder than I remembered them being.
And the shitton of The Mentalist stuff that I wrote.
Keep Me In Your Heart - A Warren Zevon inspired look at Jane's past, after some discussion with the betas of what his wife must have been like.
The Hendrix Riff - Given a prompt of "Jane building sandcastles" all I could think of was the Hendrix recording of Castles Made of Sand. I grew up with that song and many others by Jimi and it always struck me as terribly poignant and occasionally made me cry. So I wrote a story along those lines.
Quasimodo - This is what you get when I try to think of Jane+Grace fic while listening to Notre Dame de Paris. I threw in a random Richard III reference because the image of Jane as a tragic hunchbacked figure when he's a beautiful bright blonde blue-eyed boy amused me.
Seduction: The Fourth Erotic Station - I love the little intricacies of the show, watching his moods shift and watching him work on people, all the little things he does. I wanted to write a fic that highlighted the hows and methods as much as I could fit in without it being one long stream of exposition and analysis. The title comes from a mini-chapter heading of a book called The Book of the Courtesans: A Catalog of their Virtues. The erotic stations are, in order, Flirtation, Suggestion, Arousal, Seduction, Rapture, Satiety, Afterglow. Tempted to write a fic for each but we'll see how much of my to-do list I get knocked down after the holidays settle.
Sophie's Turn - The whole time I was watching that episode I became convinced of two things. A) They had had sex at one point, most likely while he was under her care (which would also give her a reason to help have his record expunged) and B) it ... wore at them both (which is why she never touches him, stays apart and aloof from him in her body language, and why he seems to be more wary of her than most people). I called it Sophie's Turn because it's her turn at Jane, it's the point in which she turns into something else, and it's her turn to be ... broken, in a way, by Jane. Or played. Or both.
Hope everyone had a good Christmas!
