Hello on Tuesday! How are things going in the world of fic?

Did you write?

- Yes!
- No!
- Not yet!

If yes, what kind of writerly activity did you engage in? How do you feel about it?
If no, what were the obstacles/situations that affected your writerly pursuits? What will you do differently tomorrow to get more writing done?
If not yet, because the day hasn't gotten going yet, what kind of writing activity are you planning (or hoping) to accomplish?

Today I have 12 icons from Gotchard and Girls Remix featuring various different characters. The full icon table is under the cut!

( 12 Icons )

Title: Does this hurt?
Fandom: Warrior Nun
Characters: Jillian Salvius, with Mother Superion and Camila (Yasmine is in the background).
Rating: G
Notes: Done with Chinese ink and graphite.
Summary: It's not what she was supposed to be doing but Jillian finds herself patching up the sisters after their missions.

Over here, at my journal.

Title: Guilty Pleasures
Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition
Character: Cassandra Pentaghast & Leliana
Prompt: Guilty Pleasures
Rating/Category: T/Gen
Summary: Leliana finds Cassandra reading the latest Swords & Shields.
Notes: With this prompt, my mind went straight to Cassandra's quest, Guilty Pleasures. The serious and responsible Seeker can't be caught enjoying the romance books of the guy she once arrested, right?

Guilty Pleasures

Finding Cassandra is trivial, even if she thinks that she's hiding. Not hiding so much that someone who did find her would have just cause to accuse her of hiding, but hiding nonetheless, at a spot in the yard that, while still out in the open, would only be visible by people passing by.

“You know, if you wanted Varric's book this badly, I could have taken it for you,” Leliana says, arriving quietly enough that her words are the first thing to betray her presence.

Cassandra nearly throws the books in the air, then holds it protectively against her chest, as if she means to hide the cover. The problem is, Leliana was at Kirkwall, she was witness when Cassandra first got her hands on Swords & Shields and all the excuses that she has for reading it. It's a terribly guarded secret, but at least Cassandra is far better at that with things that matter.

“I don't know what you're talking about. I… did the Inquisitor tell you to?” Cassandra asks, with a sigh of resignation.

“Oh no, she told no one, except for Varric. And then they were talking about it, loudly, in public. She's trying to understand what's so special about this story to make it a secret,” Leliana says, although she had found out through other sources before that as well.

She says it more to illustrate a point, if Cassandra wanted it to remain a secret, then she shouldn't have asked for the Inquisitor's help. The Inquisitor does get things done, but she's not always the best with expectations of privacy.

“I should have known. I should have known better than to let myself get carried away, but the last one ended in a cliffhanger and I just needed to know what happened to the Knight-Commander,” Cassandra says, as if she needs to justify her reading habits.

Leliana laughs. “Don't be silly, just read your books. The world is not going to end because you took an hour to yourself. It might still end, but it won't be for this.”

Cassandra looks around, but no one seems to be noticing them talking there, and to anyone out of earshot, they might as well be talking about some important Inquisition matter.

“I suppose I can stay here another few minutes. I only have fifteen pages to go,” Cassandra says, opening the book again.

Leliana leaves her be. Good on her, they all have such weight on their shoulders, they won't last long without a few guilty pleasures.

Today's theme is The Caregiver.

Here are some ideas to get you started: She spends time looking after others, often to the exclusion of her own needs. Whether this is an occupation like a doctor, or whether she's a parent or looking after her own parents, she thrives on taking care of other people. Or you could look at a character who was thrown into a caregiving role that might not want to be there and show how she navigates that path.

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Hello on Monday! How's the day going so far for fic? (If you haven't gotten started on your day as yet, how did yesterday go for writing fic?)

- Excellent!
- Terrible
- Somewhere in between
- Nothing doing

How much time have you spent on writing fic today, roughly?

- None
- 30 minutes or less
- 30-60 minutes
- 60-90 minutes
- More than 90 minutes

In five words or less, how do you feel about that?

I can’t believe we’re already in February! We both slept in this morning.

I did two loads of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, baked chicken for the dog’s meals, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, changed kitty litter, and showered. I made those cheese sausage things for Pip’s supper and had leftover chicken and gravy on bread (hot chicken sandwich?) for mine.

Pip blew out other paths and I actually went on some longer walks today! A .35 and .50mi as well as a .25 instead of all three being .25. Instead of .75 total, I got in over a mile today because of that! I was very pleased with myself because I didn’t think it would be spring before I could mark off the .50 mile walk and over 1.00 mile day on my bingo card, lol!

I had Cinnamon Plum tea again today. I read fanfic (someone wrote ~124,500 words of Heated Rivalry rodeo AU!!!) and watched House Hunters International and Zoo Tampa.

Temps started out at -0.2(F) (it might have been lower earlier, but we didn’t see it) and reached 16.0. There was sun, and while it was good for my mood, it didn’t warm anything up.

Mom Update:

Mom sounded good when I talked to her. She said her energy levels aren’t any better, so I guess it’s all mood. She had a good food day (a variety of foods that all settled well), and my brother and Sister A had visited. She was expecting Sister S, as well. We talked a little longer because she didn’t sound like she was fading, which is good.

Title: Finding Yourself in a New World – Chapter 2: Guilty Pleasures
Day/Prompt: Day 2 / Guilty Pleasures
Fandom: Warrior Nun (TV)
Character/Pairing: Yasmine, Camila, Shannon, Mary, Lilith, Beatrice, Ava
Rating/Warning(s): T / None
Word Count: 6243
Summary: After her first mission, the team takes Yasmine to a bar and they all bond.
Author's Notes: As I said on the first day, this is a continuous story, one chapter covering each day's prompt. The link will go to the second chapter, the first chapter can be accessed from there.

Here on AO3

Title: Two callings
Fandom: The Last Kingdom
Characters: Hild
Rating: T
Notes/Warnings: Done with Chinese ink pens and graphite. There's an implied dead body in the frame as a battle takes place in the background. This is also more or less in the same continuity of another

halfamoon entry of mine from 2025 :)
Summary: Hild's faith is steady but using sword skill, as brutal as its results might be, is a pull she cannot well deny...

Over here, at my journal!

Title: Are You A Mirage? (I Hope So)
Fandom: Kamen Rider Gotchard + Kamen Rider Girls Remix
Pairing/Characters: Lachesis/Nayuta, Rinne
Rating: E
Word count: 1107
Content Notes: Post-Kamen Rider Eins with Girls Remix, Post-Kamen Rider Gotchard: Graduations, Angst, Ambiguous NTR/Cheating, Contains References To The Gotchard Final Stage and The Upcoming Gotchard Novel, Ambiguous/Open Ending
Author's note: Also done for the

tokufemslash Femslash February Prompt Meme. Prompt was "Kamen Rider Gotchard: Lachesis/Mikazuki Nayuta + Kudo Rinne - Came back from the dead just to bang your girlfriend in front of you." As said in the notes: the NTR/cheating is ambiguous, so is the ending. It is entirely up to you if this was real, or if one of Glion's followers did this to hurt Rinne.
Summary: Rinne and Nayuta were supposed to have a happy reunion, it doesn't end up that way.
Also on Ao3, or read below the cut:

Title: Vulcans Don't Feel Guilt (Usually)
Fandom: Star Trek: Enterprise
Character: T'Pol (Jonathan Archer & Charles "Trip" Tucker are also there)
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 351
Summary: The Captain was trying one of his getting-to-know you questions on her again

( Vulcans Don't Feel Guilt (Usually) )

Today's theme is Guilty Pleasures.

Here are some ideas to get you started: A bag of greasy potato chips, a racy romance novel, a nap in the middle of a workday, or a clandestine affair with a co-worker- some of the things our favorite characters enjoy the most can be viewed as less than healthy or otherwise looked down on by society. Show us a guilty pleasure for one of your favorite characters.

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.
