Only a few more weeks left, thank fucking god. So ready to be done with SLE (and the the next few days are going to be frantic, massive amounts of work trying to keep myself from failing due to how epically I've flaked out this quarter, but I'm trying not to think about that right now) and go home and knife fight my cousin for a room. Even though I'm going to be working...somewhere, I'm looking forward to having a little more free time to write. The last few months have been just so bleh in terms of getting any writing done, it's depressing. And, as usual, I have a huge baclog of prokects I'd like to work on.
Fanfics I'd Like To Get To Sometime Soon
1. Four Times Jack Didn't Need To Say 'I Love You' (And One Time He Did).
All plotted out - kudos to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
telyanofcelore, as usual, for much needed input. This is going to be horrendously fluffy and domestic, and I yanked it away from mpreg at the last moment in favor of, I do believe, Jack cleaning Ianto's kitchen. Also will include "I need to remind myself you aren't dead" porn and kissing while covered in alien goo. And then the end is going to veer into angst, because I've been wanting to write a conversation where Ianto asks Jack if he's leaving and Jack saying he'll always come back, isn't that good enough?
2. The Time Everyone Found Out About Jack and Ianto Because They Didn't Bother Putting Their Clothes Back On When the Alarms Went Off.
Exactly what it sounds like.
3. Five Things Pepper Caught Tony Doing That Were Worse Than the Armor
Iron Man movieverse, inspired by the quote when Pepper walks in on Tony getting cut out of his bullet-riddled armor. I have no shame, I swear. But it will NOT be Tony/Pepper, as cute as the movie made that pairing, and my Tony is probably going to bleed a lot into Avengers canon Tony. So far I only have two scenes figured out. There was a pretty interesting thread on someone's lj or possibly the Cap/Ironman comm about whether Steve and Tony would be into bondage, and someone suggested that Tony is the type of person who would try to use it to work out his Issues but push way too far, let it get out of control, and get himself hurt. So one scene will be Pepper walking into the tail-end of /that/. The other scene, in an attempt to go as far away from scarilymasochistic!Tony as possible, is her catching bedridden/injured Tony playing - oh, sorry, /strategizing/ - with his Captain America and Howling Commandos action figures.
4. Something Boostle-y.
that's as far as I've gotten, aside from a very very vague idea of Booster and Ted being secretly engaged, but that just seems silly. But it's such a tiny fandom and I love it so much, I want to write /something/.
Original Fiction I'd Like To Write This Summer
1. The Madric Story
Extremely Compressed Story Line: Madric is a bitchy fortune-teller who can see the future but pretends he can't. When the Duke bring him in to do a performance, Madric sees him killing his brother, the king, the Duke tries to kill him, but one of his soldiers goes rogue and saves Madric's life. They go on the run together, sexing ensues, they join a rebel group, they keep the Duke from stealing the throne after he kills the king, more sexing. I'd really really really like to turn this into a novel.
2. The Ifan Story
Extremely Compressed Story Line: Smith falls in love with pretty elf lord, agrees to go off with him to be sex slave, there is angst, he saves a young bard from drowning and the bard falls in love with him, more angst, he makes a magic eye, more angst.
A plot idea I've been rolling around in my head for awhile, I'm thinking of trying to get it down in 20,000 words and submitting it to the fiction contest at Yaoi-Con. Which would mean getting it done by my birthday, but I can totally do that. Yeeeeah.
3. The Jake And Shane Story
Jake is a corrupt cop who is unexpectedly gifted with superpowers and finds himself wanting to do the right thing for the first time in his life; Shane has always wanted to do the right thing, but is so focused on the greater good he tends to lose touch with the human side of things. I wrote the drabble last week, and haven't really been able to stop thinking about the characters since. I'd like to write more, but I don't know what, or if it's going to be way too derivative if it do, though.
4. The Circus Story
An acrobat falls in love with a clown! And gets the rest of the traveling performers to help him win the clown over! Cute and sweet, innocent romance!and maybe a mystery side plot, idk Just something that would be strange yet fun.
