Fic: Fresh Wine (FireFly, Mal/Inara, PG-13)

Well, the latest round of het_challenge is over and done with. Gods, that was an insane one. Fifteen different stories, over 15,000 words. My name this time around was Death God, as I had just got done doing major Death Note and Bleach manga readings, so it seemed appropriate.

Edit: I added them up. 21,681 words, 15 fics. Most of which were written in April, but not all. *nods* A few were written in March. Plus all the other things I wrote these last two months. Insane? But of course. It's why most of you hang out here.

Yes, yes, I'm sure some of you are now in shock. I, the slash girl, wrote het. Boy/Girl. Well, some of it was Boy/Girl/Boy. And Boy/Girl/Boy/Girl, but you get the point. So, now that the big reveal happened, now's the time to share. So, here we go. First up in our challenge is the following.

Title: Fresh Wine

Well, as you now know, het_challenge is over for this round. However, now I have fourteen more ficcies to go. So I'm seeing how you guys want me to post them. Got a preference from this list, drop me a word, and I'll post them up as people want them most.

Bleach-Renji/Rukia
Bleach-Ichigo/Rukia
Bleach-Ichigo/Rukia/Renji
Death Note-Light/Misa
Death Note-L/Misa/Light
FFVII-Cid/Tifa
FFVII-Loz/Tifa-AU
FFVII-Rude/Tifa
FFVII-Zack/Aeris/Cloud/Tifa
FFVII-Cloud/Tifa
FFVII-Zack/Aeris/Cloud-AU
FFVII-Zack/Aeris/Cloud
FFVII-Loz/Tifa
Firefly-Mal/Inara
FMA-Roy/Riza


Gah. 21,681 words. I'm insane. Nine prompts were requests, and the other six were ones I picked up from the ones declined. So, yeah, six of those fics? I really didn't need to write, though I always try to write the ones requested of me. But, hey, that's six more stories that people go, and that's good. I apparently suckass at requesting prompts, as only one of the five were selected, but oh well. I got one, and it was super shiny. Balthier/Fran, with them flipping gender and species. It's perfect, and you should go check it out. Stranger Things by Kestral, aka sister_coyote

One of the funny part is, due to the anonymous part of Het Challenge, we all posted under the same login. Which means, one day, I was the only person who posted FFVII fic that got logged by ff_press, and you can't even tell. That's right. One day, I wrote every piece of FFVII fiction that got reported by FF Press.

And I signed up for the next round, too.

Oh, and thankyouthankyouthankyou to forgottenlover, my poor, overworked beta. Love ya, wife.

Went and saw Spiderman 3 tonight at a midnight showing.

( Squeeing and comments behind text for spoiler safety )

All in all, I had a fun time watching Spiderman 3. Though that might have been the paint fumes of the room. Maybe not.

Recognizing the back of Stan Lee's head was funny, though.

Nothing after the credits, sad to say.

More theories. You can blame this one on paint fumes and doujins.

Just saw a doujin where it almost looked as if Cloud was remembering Zack having a black mark very much like Geostigma. It's raw, so I'm clueless, but it is very, very pretty.

Now, given I am both crackbrained anyway, and just spent three hours in a theater that still smelled of paint fumes, this triggers things. Odd things.

What if Geostigma as we saw it in Advent Children wasn't a new thing? But, before, it was something that was limited to the highest level of SOLDIERs, and only started after several years. Shin-Ra would have kept it a heavily guarded secret, given they didn't want it to get out that their super soldiers had a timelimit of sorts, and Sephiroth himself was immune due to the sheer amount of Jenova in his system.

And if Zack was already showing signs of the sickness, it was why he didn't respond to more Jenova, as there was already a fight going on with it in his body. The mako afterwards slowed the disease, but, eventually, that was really how he ended up dying on the cliffs. A combination of the sickness and exhaustion that left him too slow and weakened to keep fighting everyone and carry Cloud.

Now this...predecessor of Geostigma, it was slow, and maybe wasn't as painful at first. After all, Jenova and Sephiroth hadn't started attempting to destory the planet yet. Holy hadn't been activated, Meteor hadn't been summoned, the Lifestream hadn't had to flare up to help keep the planet from damage. Thus, the sickness was limited.

Then all that happened, and the planet was all "Right, no more of this"

That's when Geostigma started to pick up. Starts off slow, and then starts to build, and that's when people start falling ill.

Yay crack?

This is a neat little site. Hey, Bard, Butterfly Effect is already nominated for an award.

Basically, it's a FFVII award contest. Looks like nominations just opened up, so there isn't a lot of selection yet, but I know I have a lot of visitors who read FFVII, so I bet you guys see a lot of different things. *starts thinking of people to nominate*

Anyway, might want to check it out.
