also vital stars contain concentrated liquidified Green Herbs. They need to be treated rather than just eating the raw plant because demon/half demon need a bigger concentration

After Desmond finished his speech, I went “wait a minute, that sounds familiar”. There’s a lot of similarity there with Glenn Yarbrough’s It’s So Easy Not to Try.
Chapter title from Beta-senpai (who is still not beta’ing this whole story as he’s not familiar with Assassin’s Creed but is lending a hand here and there). I also sent him part of the speech and he went “I’m sensing some well-earned hostility there...”
compilation of weirdly 10x more relevant to Desmond than your average TSW character dialogue from Krieg:
“Are you here for a signature? I'll make it out to "Christ almighty," since you're so intent on dying for our sins.”
(He did also mention ‘the buzz fades’. That’s less Desmond-specific, though.)
“I’m a writer. I make millions repeating myself. What’s your excuse?”
“Who would you be, what would you be, without this, without your precious war on evil, without your secret world, your sacred brotherhoods, your ranks and titles and rituals. You’d be just another rat stuck in the race with a dead-end job, living for a paycheck and the weekends.” (...not that Desmond would think that was a bad thing.)
“You soak in it so others don’t have to. You take one for the team.”
“Maybe it’ll be different this time. Maybe you’ll save everyone.”

        “Cordy and Lucy need to never meet and swap bullying ideas. I don’t think I’d survive the continual inspired humiliation.”

I was hoping to have been able to work on the Cambion AU again but between unexpected stuff this week and next week and a migraine today, we're going with another thing I already had written but wasn't planning on posting yet.
For this one, the thought occurred to me while reading a different (and really good) soulmate fic series by x_los 'what if I used the Linked concept for it'.  Then was like, nah, that'd never work.  A ton of the plot can't happen if Blake isn't allowed to keep being mysterious, but I kept thinking about it.  For one thing because Time Lord Blake isn't quite as inclined to not share that it's going to change things drastically anyway, and also because Phoenix and Edgeworth have been using blocks a lot recently and I suspect Avon and Blake would be the same way, because they're both nosy but also inclined to be fairly private.  Add in some more Federation worldbuilding, and it totally works.  Basically how the Linked soulmate AU stuff works is that two people form a mental Link, kinda like having a mental penpal.  Platonic versions exist and at some point I might write one, since I'm using it again.  Though, of course, while people talk about accepting that there's a bit of a stigma.  (I suspect this isn't a completely original soulmate AU, partly because it's an extrapolated 'but what if more common' expansion on a Dresden Files Dresden/Marcone kinkmeme fill.)  That being said I like the concept of 'this isn't cutting out free will, just giving you limited telepathy, and what you do with it is up to you'.

Main Points:
Blake's 7 (probably series A/season 1, but otherwise ambiguously set) (Black Holes and Revelations)
Chapter Summary: Blake and Avon argue all the time.  This doesn't end like one of their usual arguments.

        Buffy nearly attacks when someone silently joins her, only for her instincts to pull her punch at the last second, and it’s a good thing she listens, because it’s Xander. “You know, you don’t have to be here.”
        He grins goofily and shrugs. “Just because you have this great destiny doesn’t mean you have to be alone all the time.”

‘you know, people should be allowed to have squicks!’ okay, go on, I’m listening, but that’s a weird thing to have to say. ‘I mean, some people overreact when you tell them you’re not cool with writing something’. Yeah, sure, there are entitled people everywhere. ‘People have called me an anti!’ As long as you’re not doxxing people. ‘People get really upset when you tell them you’re not willing to write pedophilic content!’ aaaand there goes the mask off moment I was waiting for watching the thread. Gee willickers, I have absolutely no reason why people would be upset by that accusation. No one, not even a fortune teller, could have seen that one coming.
You’re on the Ao3 subreddit. Just slap a ‘no underage’ on the prompt. Or specify which teenagers you’re cool with shipping with each other. Calling it pedophilic is not much better than calling it CSEM, and yeah, I sideeye some of that stuff, but I don’t interact and I most certainly do not tell people to their face you think they’ll commit pedophilic acts through writing.

Desmond would have known that Krieg was in Solomon Island if he’d listened to the Sheriff complain about the number of calls she’d had to go on because the guy was getting drunk again.
Hide & shriek is a goofy spinoff that I honestly wasn’t going to mention except for the fact that lore-wise Carter would absolutely have played it and I realized it was the perfect opportunity to actually make Desmond talk about something. And he didn’t drag his feet this time, so hurray, he’s actually learning.

( a few leads )

 

To no one's surprise, this year has just been...a lot. And it's been tough to keep up with my posting schedule. I *could* switch it, but then I had the bright idea of going through my actual written stuff, typing up the little snippets I've got just lying around, and posting them. Hopefully this will give me a little more time to write (or just catch up on other stuff, that's also a possibility).

        “Anya’s been sending me postcards.”
        “From her travels?”
        “At first, yeah. Over the past year they’ve all been coming from the same place. I don’t think she realizes postcards are more of a vacation buying item like souvenirs, but it’s sweet and I don’t have the heart to tell her.”
