For the ~~Millions~~ ~~Thousands~~ ~~Hundreds~~ ~~Dozens~~ ~~Handful~~ of My Fans

I finally decided I might as well put this piece of RPF-adjacent fic up here. Alert the press.

Also, I'm putting the MV here (under a cut, I'm not subjecting folks to it if they don't want to see it), so that if you do want to read it, you have the MV there as proof of what sparked this ~~ridiculousness~~ creativity.

( Watch )

With that handled, here's the story, under its very own cut.

Proof of Life

It's been a minute, so I decided to touch down for at least half of another minute.

In brief: before I even got past the third Dr. Who, and despite doing my damnedest to avoid any spoilers, I read the wrong headline *shakes fist at The Guardian*, so I'm avoiding actually watching the remaining episodes until I can bear to watch them. That's not logical in the least, but there you go.

Acting on advice from

lilacsigil , I adjusted my AO3 Stray Kids fanfic's fandom tag, taking it out of SKZ fandom and tagging it as part of music video fandom. I also cut my note so that it didn't sound so awfully condescending. That made me feel better. It also gave me the chance to do a bit of editing, and that was even better. I'm not sure I'll post it here. I have to see if my conflicting impulses eventually pan out that way.

We have one of our old bachelor friends coming over this afternoon; he wants help navigating his computer, which Bob will handle. He also wants help understanding his smartphone, and that's going to be my responsibility. This gentleman has previously had a flip phone, or some kind of dumb mobile; he really doesn't like mobiles, but I think he finally admitted that they're necessary in modern life, and so he got the smartphone, and now he needs help navigating it. We'll see if I can help him out.

I think that's all, but I hope to post again later today.

Title: Worlds and Worlds and Unexpected Joy
Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends (Netflix animated series)
Characters: Ekko, AU Ekko (S02E07), AU Powder (S02E07), Isha, Vander, Warwick, Viktor, Jayce
Words: 1,268 per AO3
Spoiler warning: Spoilers for the entirety of Arcane Season 2.
Summary: There are worlds and worlds and worlds out there. Remember that. Walking between them is no mean feat, not with The Anomaly. Which isn't an anomaly. Listen ....
Author's notes: I adore Arcane. In the first season, I loved it even when it tore my heart out. In the second season? More of the same, and oh, so much respect for the people who brought it to life, even as they tore my heart out again. After the first season, I wrote what I considered a fixit, saving Powder's family. It turned into a series called "Changing Lanes." This story, however, is a standalone focusing on the second season, the Hexcore and its possibilities. I'm not sure who the speaker is. Heimerdinger? Perhaps. Ultimately, though, it's a hope that the Hexcore can be a tool to save people I loved, even if saving isn't what we might consider saving
One final note: Isha the wordless is, some people have hypothesized, hearing impaired. That may be the case and, in this story, I think it might be true.

Rated: Gen.
Word Count: 11,093 total/ 5,430 Chapter 2
Summary: The Doctor wasn't sure how many plates the mysterious entity that brought them all together could handle, nor could she figure out why all the plates were in the air. What she did know was that she had to get all the plates - her friends and colleagues - safely out of the holding pen in which they found themselves.
Edited by: No one. That will probably show, for which I beg pardon. I did reread and edit rather obsessively.
Author's Notes: What is it Browning said? That someone's reach should exceed their grasp? This story may very well prove that point. Four years and seven months ago, I started this ungainly crossover/mashup. Could I manage to merge five, count'em five, separate universes? Why sure I could! Real Soon Now. Of course, I'd started without any idea of what to do, where to go, or how to get there ... but finally - finally - it's done. And I don't think I'll ever try something so ridiculous again. Heh.

I Done Did It.

Yep. I finally finished my massive crossover. It's a few words over 11,000 words. I'm going to give it one more read-through and then, in a fever of arrogance, I'm going to post it without an editor taking a look at it. (Bob usually does it for me, but in this case there are characters of which he knows nothing. Additionally, he's not been at 100 percent over the last few days because of dental problems.) My only question is whether there's a natural break point that might allow me to post it in two chapters.

I feel accomplished. Please, universe; it's been a hard few days. Can you allow me this without introducing more mice or broken garbage disposals into my otherwise boring retiree life? Yes?

Saturday, and the Sun is Shining

I'm temporarily camped in my livingroom, because the chair I have in the office seems apt to bother my back. (I have to figure out how to make it a pain free sit-down, because Bob mentioned last night that he misses me being there. He said that I should stay where I'm most comfortable, but I don't want him to be lonely, and I miss him. But I digress.)

Being out here, with a temporary office set up on the livingroom table allows me to see the building's courtyard, which one of our residents has turned into a flower-filled vision, with some help from a couple of the other residents. It's really gorgeous, plus I can see some of the cats in other units as they observe the world outside their windows.

Title: A Night at the Bar
Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends (Netflix animated series)
Characters: Vi, Caitlyn Kiramman, Powder, Vander, Jayce Talis, Claggor, Sevika
Words: 8,119, per AO3
Edited by: my beloved dr_whuh.
Summary: An evening that begins with Piltover condescension and Undercity suspicion, and gets bloodier from there, marks the first meeting of two remarkable women. The metal arm on the floor doesn't really play into it. In a timeline where Powder's monkey bomb doesn't kill her family, Vi's and Caitlyn's first meeting is ... memorable.
Author's notes: I will always love Arcane for a multitude of reasons, despite (or perhaps because of) its beautifully brutal tragedy. But after watching it I decided that, facts be damned, I was going to write a story that made sure Mylo lived. Claggor and Vander, too. And I was going to ensure that her family would help keep Powder herself, and prevent the creation of Jinx. It was going to be one and done, I thought.

Silly me.

This story represents the eighth in the "Changing Lanes" AU series. And I want to thank an AO3 reader, YourRSV, for asking if I might write a story featuring Cait and Vi. I hope this meets some of that request.

NOTE #1: this story takes roughly six years after Powder inadvertently blows Jayce's lab up, and almost six years after Vander and Silco patch together a truce to keep Shimmer out of The Lanes.

NOTE #2: The story contains some notable, brief, violence. However, I promise that a) the violence is necessary to the plot and b) not too violent. At least I hope it doesn't come across that way.

They Still Think I'm Useful

Over the weekend, I started worrying about whether a) I could get cracking on a rather amorphous story that one of my news outlets wants (large and amorphous stories are the bane of my reporting existence, because they're like trying to find a nice solid handle in a large, poufy pillow) and b) where I should hunt around and pitch story ideas to the editor of the other news outlet I string for.

Yesterday, the editor of the second news outlet asked if I'd be interested in doing a profile on a group operating in their coverage area. Why sure, I said! I finally touched base with the group's contact. We're working on a date to get together for an interview, and I have some research to do, but that's gotten started. I also finally got in touch with an interviewee for the amorphous story. I'll be talking to her tomorrow morning. And getting that first interview means I've finally gotten the ball rolling. Yay, me? Yeah, I think so; at least a tiny yay ....

I'm still working on my latest Arcane AU fic. Someone who read some of the earlier fics in the series said she'd like to see a story featuring Vi and Caitlyn and their relationship. While I like both characters, Mylo, Ekko, and Powder have been closest to my heart. Still, I took it as a good writing challenge to put together a good quality story about people in whom I'm less invested. I'm enjoying getting into Vi's head; it's being written from her point of view.

And now I'm going to sign off, and enjoy time with Bob, while we both geek out on our favorite animes.

Another Post in 24 Hours - w00t!!1!

And finally, I'm still sad about the death of Gordon Lightfoot. He lived a long time, beat a lot of his demons, and continued being one of Canada's Iconic Bards. Lightfoot's songs were the soundtrack to some of my most memorable life events. He's part of the warp and weft of my life, and of Canada's culture. So when I learned he'd died, it really did feel like a hit in my gut, no matter how full a life he'd lived.

Here are some of the songs that he wrote and are part of Canada. (The final one's a bit problematic, since it doesn't look at the indigenous people from whom the land was stolen, or the hundreds of Chinese immigrants who died helping build the railroad - but it still captures something of the Canadian experience, and it still raises the hair on the back of my neck.):

Title: Blue Sky at Night

kaffy_r
Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends
Characters: Vi/Violet, Powder
Words: 4220, per AO3, 4233 per Google Docs
Edited by: No one, but reviewed obsessively by me. All mistakes are, thus, my own.
Summary: It was bound to happen. No matter how well Vi hid them, Powder was bound to find the blue crystals. In a world where Powder's monkey bomb never explodes, Powder deals with learning what her sister did to keep her safely away from the hex crystals she'd carried with her to the cannery. A story about coming to grips with secrets.
Notes: In the very first story of this series, one that didn't result in Vander, Claggor and Mylo dying, Vi hid away Powder's satchel, with its cache of explosively dangerous hex crystals, in an attempt to keep Powder and everyone else safe. As the series grew in length, and Powder grew older, I realized that she and the crystals had to come together again. The question I wrestled with was how, and when. And, of course, how it might affect the relationship between the two sisters. I have posited that some of Powder's inner emotional and mental struggles might exist even in this kinder universe, but that they are under much more control.

Title: Climbing to Heaven
Author:

kaffy_r
Words: 5,182, per AO3
Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends
Summary: She climbed so high these days: could they keep her safe? Did they even know how? In a timeline where Powder's monkey bomb didn't destroy her family, those she loves - including the brother who now obsessively protects her and the boy who adores her - worry about Powder's increasingly dangerous aerial habits.
Notes: I'll always love canon Arcane, despite its tragedies, or perhaps because those tragedies were so well written. But I'm still drawn to this AU I created, largely out of my love for Mylo, and the rest of Powder's family. This builds on earlier stories in my "Changing Lanes" series, including my supposition that Mylo would become a gifted carpenter, and my guess that a grown-up (at least in terms of the Undercity) Powder would begin to display the aerial proclivities and lightning fast emotional changes that Jinx did in the main timeline.
Edited by: No one, but obsessively read and reread. All mistakes are therefore mine, and mine alone.

Various Things, Lists, You Get the Idea

1. Ridiculously superficial thought wrt the death of Elizabeth and the ascension of Charles: I will miss her rainbow colored outfits and more than occasionally silly (but always paradoxically elegant) haberdashery. The new king, unless he truly has a Come to Alexander McQueen moment, will entertain us only with sober suits and the occasionally colorful pocket square. Do we look to the Queen Consort for rainbows?

2. I plan to go back to commenting on Worldcon, Hugo awards and all, tomorrow. No, really.

3. I'm getting back to writing after several days away. I'm also truly chuffed that BB has dipped into editing my original novella. He's always resisted doing much deep editing of my fic, beyond being a copy editor par exellence - he's done some, but I suspect he's felt that I'm the obsessive writer of fandom-related things, fandoms he likes but isn't obsessive about, and that that means he's ill equipped to do deep dives. With the original work, I think he's more willing. I think it will be a good thing.

4. I'm also returning to the final leg of the original novel. I'm not sure who to turn to for editing there, largely because I don't expect ever to send it out for anyone's actual consideration. Still, perhaps I may yet ~~trick someone into~~ ask someone to take a look at it. I just have to get the damned thing finished.

5. I'll be heading back into editing myself, with the young gentleman who's putting his Arcane fic together. Luckily, he's already enlisted some other editors, and has said that, while he'd like me to stay on the team, I don't have to be as in-depth as I'd been for his first chapter. That's a relief.

6. I picked up a couple of books at the con, after promising myself I wouldn't waste the money. And I've picked up Howard Zinn's history of the U.S. from the library. So when I'm not writing stuff or editing stuff, I can be reading. Go, me.

7. Trump's troubles continue to mount. I am grateful.

And that's my list, folks.

Title: When the War is Won
Author: kaffy_r
Words: 4,496 per AO3
Summary: Shimmer was an evil, Silco knew. A necessary one, but evil nonetheless. He wasn’t surprised that his people couldn’t move it into The Lanes. In a world where Powder’s monkey-bomb never destroyed her family, Vander keeps Shimmer out of The Lanes with a deal, while Silco and Powder meet for the first time.
Notes: I adore canon Arcane because it is a beautiful tragedy and character study, painted with transcendently beautiful animation. But ....
Once again, I've been drawn into the AU I created because I couldn't bear to see Powder destroy her adoptive family. This story was born out of things that were mentioned in earlier stories, particularly "Falling Down, Rising Up" and "Rumors." It is the fifth in my Changing Lanes series.
Warning for drug trafficking: Be aware that the imaginary drug Shimmer is central to this story. It is presented as almost completely destructive.

Title: Feeding the Tree

Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends
Edited by: my beloved

dr_whuh
Summary: (No longer under a cut, since the show has been out for 6 months in most markets.) Up, down, across, under, and - finally - out into a clearing with a tree that could mean shelter from Silco and Shimmer. In a timeline where Powder's monkey bomb didn't kill her family, the need to save people from Silco's drug is just as necessary. How Ekko drags Mylo into a productive plan.
Notes:This is my fourth story in an imagined alternate universe in which Powder doesn't inadvertently kill the people she loves, and thus doesn't end up with Silco. I love the canon universe, and always will, but ... I also love Vander and the boys who were Vi's and Powder's brothers. Because I specifically rather love Mylo as a character, this story focuses on him. It also, I hope, reflects my feeling that some things in this AU would lead to the same outcomes as the canon universe. One thing I think would remain the same is the need for a sanctuary for people who survive Silco's Shimmer drug, and the leadership Ekko showed in setting it up. I've posited a distance far enough from Zaun's pollution and Piltover's notice to allow such a gorgeous tree to grow in isolation. I've tried to keep my description of The Tree as close as possible to what we see in the show, but I hope readers will forgive any of my deliberate or accidental liberties. And finally, I extrapolated Mylo's enjoyment of carpentry and self-taught architecture from his lockpicking skills. There are dots to connect there, I think.

And, Wow, the Bicycle's Just Fine

It's just me who's been a little lackadaisical. I've been busy, mind you, doing adult-type stuff. And I'm happy about that.

It's nice to be able to finally post, and not be whining about things.

( Computer success, FTW! )

( Wills and credit cards, woo-hoo! )

Finally, returning to better things than adulthood: I'm on my fifth, yes fifth, Arcane AU fic. I still can't get it out of my system. I'm also very close to finishing the novel (yes, I know I say that a lot, but at this point, we're close to the execution of one villain by our two protagonists, and the subsequent upending of their world's economic and political order. Sort of. I'm writing both at the same time, bouncing from one to the other. And I need to finish my 8,000-word-thus-far 13th Doctor massive crossover fic. Oh, and the original short story ...

Huh. A lot of writing to do. Also, editing the young gentleman's fic is still on the table.

There. Now you're caught up!

Wait, I successfully made cabbage rolls tonight, and I'm still making our bread, with varying degrees of success. So there's that as well.

Frankenstein Meme, Day 24

Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Oh, a few.

Harriet Jones didn’t die at the hands of Daleks in “The Stolen Earth”. She was too good, too smart, and too necessary to the Whoniverse, in my opinion, and I wrote my own little fixit about that.

(Interesting coincidence that I discovered while trying to remember the name of the episode in which she died — Google-fu can turn up the strangest things — a poem in the 2017 book by James Goss, “Harriet Jones, PM”, illustrated by Russell T. Davies, has her surviving by falling through a trap door in her livingroom, landing on a mattress, and racing away on a motorbike. RTD says it’s canon. In my 2008 fic “Copper Armour for Miss Jones” Harriet survives by falling through her collapsed livingroom floor. She blacks out and wakes up on a camp bed, where her rescuer (Mr. Copper) had placed her. There’s no motorcycle, but they get away in Mr. Copper’s automobile. Of course it’s not plagiarism of any type, but it does amuse me to think that RTD and others wanted to save her, and found a way remarkably similar to the way I chose to save her.)

Donna Noble regains her memories without dying. I always thought her fate was lazy writing on RTD’s part. Yep, wrote a fixit about that as well, because I just know that the Thirteenth Doctor would have done her damndest to solve what Ten didn’t.

Rory and Amy either escaped New York, or weren’t sent back by the angel.

Huh. I appear to be pimping my own fixits, but I guess that’s because when I really, really, really, disagree with something in the Whoniverse as presented on the small screen, I’m incapable of not writing something to change what happens. Y’all don’t have to read any of it, and I’ll stop.

But that's what makes me have head!canons.

Other head!canons: Rose, the Ninth Doctor and Jack Harkness were able to avoid Game Station and stay together; Rawhide wasn’t killed by a Red Lectroid; Taura was able to live to a ripe old age with a partner of her choosing, thanks to Miles. Sapphire and Steel escaped the motorway cafe.

God, I have to stop now.

Frankenstein Meme, Day 15

What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?

Beyond conversation? Or does that count?

Hmmm … if we’re talking about general SFF fandom, the first thing I contributed was myself, when I went to my first convention in 1977.

If we’re talking an online fandom, it would be Dr. Who, and I contributed conversation, via the Television Without Pity boards. (I also contributed conversation to the BSG boards as well, but Dr. Who was my major fandom.)

On a less ephemeral note, the first thing I contributed was fic, in Who fandom.

And there it is, one of my shortest answers. *the crowd goes wild*
