5 memes from all over
What can I say. I like memes. (And my brain is a weird place, especially lately.)
1.
I currently have 39 works archived at the AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 39 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.
2.
Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in the comments. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
My fic is here on archiveofourown and here on dreamwidth. Most of it overlaps, but not everything.
3.
Give me a topic or fandom and get a fanmix for it.
4.
Give me the title of a story I've never written and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any or all of the following:
the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, my soundtrack/theme song for writing, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, and/or something else that I want readers to know.
Or you might just get the story. Who knows?
5.
Pick any of the fics from my fic from archiveofourown and I'll tell you my soundtrack for it.
(Bonus: ♥♥♥ U R AWESOME: A LOVE MEME ♥♥♥ // my thread. Page topping on page 6!)

If so, then...
For the first meme: 29
For the second:
"Excuse me?" Loki says, extra emphasis on the first syllabe and flailing, limbs flying. "Fehu, you can't prove I had anything to do with that, uruz, what gives you the right? Baldr was my friend too. And thurisaz..."
"Loki," Odin says, not letting him finish, "just this once, keep your tongue."
Loki snorts. "It's never just this once with you and always with the orders."
"Please, old friend," Odin says and that shocks Loki into silence.
The host continues, seemingly unaware of their exchange. "No force can extinguish this evil but you!"
Loki opens his mouth and Odin holds up a hand. Loki rolls his eyes, but does not speak.
"When you lived through this night," Odin says, "you only did so thanks to the hearthfire."
"Oh," Loki says and grabs at Odin, pulling him back and throwing him as far as he can be thrown. Loki is a lot stronger than he looks and Odin is lighter than he used to be, so that's pretty far.
Loki flashes over to Odin's side. "I must be buying into your wise man bullshit, because it didn't occur to me that you wouldn't know that -"
"I never lived through that night," the host screeches and it is no host.
"A ghost," Loki says, "a fucking ghost and you never even noticed? What's wrong with you?"
Grief. Grief is what's wrong with him. Grief for all he's lost and all he's yet to lose.
Odin snatches Loki's arm and tugs him closer.
Now, they're back in the waking world.
Or perhaps not.
"Enough with the hugging," Loki says, but makes no move to get away from Odin.
"I thought," Odin starts. He lets Loki go.
Loki spins, hair whipping through the air. "There's your problem, right there."
"Our problem," Odin corrects. He means this both ways.
Loki smiles, crooked and scarred.
For the third: best frenemies. (Sort of like you characterize Odin and Loki, but not limited to them specifically.)
For the fourth: I really love how your fic Burn to Ash deals with Ragnarok, particularly how it manages to highlight the difference between the Norse conception of fate and the more common modern conception of fate derived from the Greeks, despite focusing on an instance where the difference doesn't seem like it should matter. I also loved how, even though you didn't ever explicitly describe the relationship everyone had before it all went to hell, it was very clear from their interactions how they used to be and how they used to feel about each other. That whole fic was incredibly subtle and frankly I would go so far as to call it sublime.
For the fifth: Nameless
(ETA: also, I'm totally "borrowing" these memes, ty.)

Can I have a mix for a quiet apocalypse? If not that, then maybe one based around manipulation?
(I'm in a better mood than my choices may indicate, I swear).

"Bats Sleep Upside-Down"
Batkids having a slumber party! ♥_&hearts My favorite part was Cass being unexpectedly good at painting nails (even Tim's!), and Damian crashing the blanket fort was ADORABLE.
Meme #2:
(From "Highway to Hell")
Glencoe, Illinois has a lakeside café with a beautiful view of the lake. Sometimes, early on clear, crisp and cold mornings like today, the Chicago skyline floats slightly over the horizon. It shimmers, the way mirages do.
At a table in the café sits Illyana Rasputin, ragged fingernails and sword calluses wrapped around a bone china cup.
The people do not seem to care or do not notice that there is a wanted criminal in their midst. The note on her teacup saucer pointed towards the former. It reads “Always good to see you, be sure to come back soon and thank you again for everything”.
She sips calmly at her tea and says, “I can tell you’re here for me, but not, I think, for the reasons most are.”
Layla and Lorna explain the situation to her, how X-Factor is going to Hell in a handbasket and the world is coming along for the ride.
“When last I used my power, I tore the world apart and brought Hell to Earth. You do not want me on your side.” Illyana’s hands are shaking slightly around her cup, long nails clicking against the porcelain. She is not lying but she is not telling the whole truth, either. There are dark shadows haunting her eyes, remnants of hellfire and divine wrath.
Layla does not trust anyone whose nails grew that long, that fast, without turning to claws.
