Fics! And other things

[dhampyresa]

I seem to have fallen deep down the musical rabbit hole, because I had a dream about a Second Punic War musical and all I can remember about it is that Aemilia stole the show (her anger was a thing of beauty), Tanith had an entire song where she was murderously gleeful about something and Maharbal's big song was called "You know how to win" and that is literally all I've got, which is a crying shame.


I've been backreading some entries (and still ahve some more backreading to do), so if you get random comments that would be why. In the process, I've discovered my yuletide letter crossposted half a dozen times to my LJ, so I'm sorry about that. I'll see what I can do to fix it.


I wrote four fics for Trick or Treat. I wanted to write more, but then Life.

I wrote two for my recip:

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Avatar: Legend of Korra
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Korra/Asami Sato

Then I wrote two treats:

Favours (703 words) by sevenofspade
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Thalia Grace, Nico di Angelo
Summary:

It's the Hunters of Artemis, not the Hunter of Artemis. Plural, not singular. Luckily, Thalia knows a dude.

(I probably shouldn't be amused that this fic already has more comments than The Oracles on the Delphi Express, but I am.)

Capitoline Wolf (509 words) by sevenofspade
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Ancient History RPF
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Hannibal Barca, Scipio Africanus
Additional Tags: Werewolves
Summary:

Surprise! The wolves are not a metaphor.

(One day, there will be a fic written in this fandom in an exchange that will be written neither by me nor for me and on that day I will get my tiny mind fucking blown, but today is not this day.)

Well, credit to you for remembering the title of Maharbal's song. This sounds like a one hundred percent feasible musical which could exist. XD I for one would go and see it.

(My sister and I have occasionally discussed the possibility of a Gracchi musical also. Ancient world-themed musicals are a thing which should exist more.)

[dhampyresa]

I would also go and see it. MORE THAN ONCE, probably.

(I would see this musical also and any Ancient World musical, tbh.)

[alasse_irena]

Well, if we ever get any further than "hypothetically there should be a musical about the Gracchi", I shall definitely be sending you lyrics.

...It's a big if, but who knows. I occasionally have hope for us.

[dhampyresa]

I look forward to this day impatiently! (My brain is kind of trying to make me think that Aemilia and Tanith in fact shared a duet over Cannae and that was what I referred to above, but no, brain, I'm pretty sure they didn't.)

Ah, les loups-garous ! Tu n'avais pas donné le fandom, mais il y avait des chances que ce soit Hannibal/Scipio. XD En tout cas, ils ont de la répartie quelle que soit la situation, j'adore. :-)

C'est pas comme si c'était une surprise de ma part, en même temps /hyper prévisible

Merci!

Four fics for Trick or Treat? \0/

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I think, like comments to fic, people are always glad to get comments :) Don't worry. (especially if you can backread on your flist, it only goes 2 weeks/some number of posts which I have forgotten).

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

That is true! Thank you.

I think amused is a far better response than bitter and resentful (which is totally what I would be going for.)

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

It's kind of a tired resignation edging into hilarity, like "of course you would fandom OF COURSE YOU WOULD", tbh.

[minutia-r.livejournal.com]

In this case I think it's mostly because exchange fandom (some of which has read and/or is interested in Percy Jackson) is a lot better at commenting than Percy Jackson fandom in general.

(In my own case, I sort of feel like I said what I had to say about Oracles on the Delphi Express the first time I read it, whereas I didn't see the Thalia story until after I posted it. I am a bit of a fandom hypocrite here because I like it when my betas comment on my story after I post it, but when I'm in that position I can't think of anything to say.)
