*I am told that it is a mark of growth as a writer if your old writings make you cringe. So that's a good sign, I suppose. Fics marked with WARNING: OLD were written in high school, and frankly are kind of awful, but the ones included here for some reason have sentimental value to me, so I didn't want to leave them out. There are others that I'm pretending don't exist.

Drabbles are anything under 500 words; ficlets are anything between 500 and 1000.

comments disabled because I am sick of spambots, but I swear I am really happy to meet new people! feel free to PM me or comment on any other post and I'll be delighted to make your acquaintance. assuming you're not a spambot.

I have accomplished none of the extremely limited tasks I set out for myself today, but I did read some of the Avengers fic that's been open in my tabs! and I am so full of goodwill towards mankind because of this one right now, you don't even know. it is every bit as full of awesome ladies as the films! there is even background Clint/Natasha! (SOMEDAY I WILL GET MY EPIC "BLACK WIDOW AND HAWKEYE BRO OUT FOREVER" FIC BUT UNTIL THEN...) Pepper is not marginalized! threesomes solve everything!

um, yes. Magnetic. you guys should read it, or something.

ahahahaha so I totally failed at keeping this drabble length. whoops? ANYWAY. mardia wanted Theo/Gareth about this article.

( the sound of your breath in the cold will bring me home )

um... nahco3 asked for this! so it's her fault! yeah, we're going with that.

( but if you think that in return I ought to love only you, gentle sir, you are easily led to self-deceit )

ETA: what the hell, I have decided to be a shut-in tonight and I want to write two more drabbles so I can have an even ten when I crosspost to fbslash. anybody else want one? no promises but leave a prompt or a character or whatever and I'll see what I can do. XD

I was going to make this long rambling post about empathy and music (separate issues) and then I realized nobody would want to read that, so. behold! a tiny tiny snippet from the soulbonding universe, set during the 2009 Confederations Cup. (for the sake of reference, Andres was injured that summer and had to miss out on the tournament. Spain lost to the US in the semifinals and I've seen some journos and bloggers blame that loss on the fact that Xavi+Iniesta weren't doing their usual midfield psychic twins act. also, David Villa was in the middle of a will-he-won't-he move from Valencia to Real Madrid that was apparently such a sucky experience that he insisted on having his transfer to Barcelona the following year wrapped up well before the World Cup.)

( the distance from here to where you'd be )

I offered to write a bit of the soulbonding universe for angualupin yea these many moons ago, since I couldn't really find that much Xavi/Andres to rec for her. so, uh. it took me a while, but I got it done eventually? hope you enjoy it, anyway!

I swear I will now stop spamming you all with football fic! or, well, for the sake of completion I add that I also wrote a drabble for stickmarionette about Pep and Manel Estiarte, but it's super short and I'm not going to bother reposting. so this is it! PHEW. y'all are rock stars, bless you all. <3

notes: part of it's going to take a lot to drag me away from you aka the soulbonding AU, and written for stickmarionette for sant jordi. (nobody is surprised.) thank you sooooooo much to mardia and distira, who let me ramble at them at great length about this fic since my usual listening ear about this AU was obviously unavailable. :)

( I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together )

it feels wrong to post without saying something, so: this past week has been horrible for me as a Barcelona fan, the worst I've ever had, which more than anything says how spoiled I've been. but losing is a part of sport, all dynasties end, and nobody has died: we're not saying goodbye to anyone forever. I love this team and I want them all to be so so so happy and it hurts me when they aren't, but I believe they'll pick themselves up and come back stronger.

Pep is the only coach I have ever known at Barcelona. (I know, I know, I'm a baby in sportsfan years.) he will always be the ideal of Barcelona's coach to me. I love you, I'll miss you, and I want you to be happy. be happy. thank you so much for everything.



and now that my excess of feelings has been addressed, to the actual point of this post! recs have been updated. there's only 15 fics this time but hopefully there will be something new for everyone! I wanted to have a clean slate before reveals over at santjordi, though fuck only knows what I'm going to do when that happens. I want to rec them all. can I rec them all?

in the meantime, I got two gorgeous fics for St. George's Day, both of which you should read and appreciate: Do What You Do (high school AU! genderswap! VICTOR/ANDRES! it is a giftbasket of things I love!) and The Games You Play You Would Always Win (Man City fic! about Mancini! and Silva being sly like a fox! AND ALSO IT'S HOT). go forth, enjoy, envy my good luck, leave beautiful comments so my gracious benefactors will not be sorry I asked for such weird things!

I have tons of work to do right now, so guess what that means! that's right, a procrastinatory meme! ganked from norah.
