extemporally

WHAT UP, GUYS. rn I'm tucked into my favourite coffee shop of all time, sipping some tea, waiting for my soymilk porridge, you know how it goes, etc. And I am posting a One Direction Liam/Niall WIP that I don't think is going to be finished for several reasons: I'm starting the most difficult year of my university career in less than two weeks and am already drowning in work, I kind of lost interest in this fic because it lacked Zayn, I kind of lost interest in 1D fandom because it lacked the fourth wall and a critical mass of sensible people (except for the ones I have on my flist!), and so on.

And this is a very melodramatic fic. It's finished in the sense that there's an ending, but there are a lot of missing gaps. Basically: post-split fic where Niall comes to London to housesit for Zayn (AND HANA TAJIMA) while he's away, and Liam joins him. Contains: overworked, sad, and slightly pathetic Liam, and Niall who makes him happy with his cock. Trigger warning: this isn't written out in the story as such, but there are notes all over the place, and one of them consists of backstory that contains homophobia & drug abuse issues. (Sorry! It ends happily, I swear!) Anyway, um, enjoy?

I'll be honest: those pictures of Andrew & Emma out on a date at Nobu (Tumblr link, cos I'm lazy) make me so uncomfortable not just for the way they look really sad but also the way Emma's walking behind him all the time. I mean, I realise that they're looking as awkward as they do at least partially because they are getting their picture taken by paps? But I just... feel really really uncomfortable. Also I dislike scruff. /o\

So, the story I want now: ( warning: badfic? also angst. )

In case it was not already totally obvious: I love badficcy premises and angst. I will almost certainly never stop loving badficcy premises and angst.

Mirai Nagasu, be more adorable. I dare you. Fits of glee, you guys. SHE USED FOUR TABLESPOONS!

I don't have much to say these days. But you know what is really great about having public holidays on Monday? Not only do you get a long weekend, but it also makes the next week way shorter too! I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE SECRET TO LIFE. \o/

Here's a poem which made me laugh when I ran across it last week, mostly because my brain keeps remixing it so Stephane Lambiel (lololol of course) is the zebra:

Zebra Question

I asked the Zebra,
Are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy day?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on
And on and on he went.
I'll never ask a zebra
About stripes
Again.

Shel Silverstein

They're very philosophical questions!

AND A MEME:

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.

HERE IS A STORY I WANT: the one where Stephane comes to California to choreo for Denis Ten, and since Denis and Mirai are training partners OF COURSE this means that Stephane and Mirai strike up an immediate friendship! He and Mirai and Denis become a tripartite of lolzy BFFs -- Stephane is good with teenagers, he prides himself on being able to understand their adolescent angst -- and there are so many shenanigans including but not limited to Stephane helping Mirai & Denis cheat on their training diets and bringing them for ice-cream. Meanwhile Evan is like *lurklurk* in the background because... he thought he was filling the older brother role in Mirai's life! Thing. Until Mirai explains that, don't worry Evan, I still like and respect you very much. Stephane doesn't teach me how to drive!*

* I also want the story where Evan teaches Mirai to drive.

Eventually the program is choreographed, and Mirai watches it and tells Denis one day: "Stephane's a great skater, but you need to skate like yourself more." And Stephane hears and gets SO HURT! Eventually he is like, "No, I am not angry at all, but do you think he is skating too much like me D:" because obviously Stephane is all about developing your own skating personality, and Mirai is like, "No! ... well, yes. Kind of." and there are hugs, and I don't even know, okay, I just want a fic where Mirai and Stephane are in the same place and they are hilarious friends.

Also, Denis Ten is a tiger.

unlurkster: I don't really ship her either, which is kind of weird. I just want millions and millions of words of gen fic about her
ship her *with anyone
omg want the fic where she's a companion on the tardis
and has to SAVE THE WORLD
alexthegreat: the closest I come to shipping her with someone is Adam
unlurkster: I might if I knew anything about Adam beyond, "cute! the future of men's figure skating! has own lutz and lots of younger siblings!"
someone has also suggested Denis Ten, which is cool and also slightly more appealing to me by virtue of the fact that Denis Ten and STEPHANE have worked together
alexthegreat: :DDDDD
unlurkster: http://twitter.com/mirai_nagasu/status/12295561253
c'mon it could totally happen!! *long stretch of imagination*
alexthegreat: :DDDDDDDDD!!!!!
unlurkster: omg they're going to be TRAINING PARTNERS!!
I went to denis's wiki page
his new coach is frank!

...

unlurkster: having watched daisuke's new short program -- he really does skate like stephane
I want a fic where there's a scene in which mirai tells denis, "stephane's a great skater. but you should skate more like yourself."

Maybe if I make sadeyes at the Internet for a long enough time, it will spontaneously begin to exist.

So a while back I asked for five prompts! I limited the number so I wouldn't not finish filling them all and feel bad. And I ended up... not filling them all, and feeling bad. Ah well! To be fair, three out of five is okay.

shantalanadevil asked for Johnny/Stephane and singing lessons.

( I wrote a high school AU thing instead! )

---

egelantier asked for Ryan/Z as partners in crime.

( I totally gave her what she was asking for. )

---

frankkincense asked for Ryan/Brendon and green apples.

( again, what it says on the tin! )

In conclusion: I wrote some stories yay! & thank you for prompting me! Sorry if I didn't get to yours, I would have liked to write Ryan & Spencer & Z on the beach plus Johnny/Stéphane long-distance pining, but I suck like a sucking thing.

So yeats and I discussed this whole ridic storyline about Johnny Weir: Single Father. He ruthlessly tamps down on his romantic life to care for his daughter (whom we have called Lila), and is the best father ever! She needs a skating coach! Enter Stéphane Lambiel.

... so anyway, copy and pasted from an email I sent her once:

( five things about lila weir )

Ahahahaha oh god our brains. I NEVER USED TO HAVE A THING FOR KIDFIC (or domestic fic. Or cross-dressing. Or future fic. Or... /o\) but this fandom seems determined to prove me wrong.

I was doing a trawl through my Google docs (which I do approximately once every three months, it's an Occasion, okay) and realised that I have a whole bunch of WIPs that I kind of... forgot about. Man, I suck.

Like!

( Ashlee ballet fic )

( Ryan is a mathematician )

( Brendon/Ryan arranged marriage )

( Ryan & Spencer are bb lesbians in love )

( The Like high school summer fic )

( The Like are beekeepers )

So, a whole bunch -- some more melodramatic than the way I write now, some kind of thoroughly jossed. Should I try to finish some of them or just give up and concentrate on stuff I think I'm actually going to finish? HUM HUM HUM. I suck at finishing longfic. ;____________;

1. My OTP is REAL. I'd heard about them passing notes during the KOI press conference but this, omg. *____________*

2. Also? Those daily communities (lambiel_daily and jgweir_daily are making my LIFE. Every day I wake up and there are pretty pretty pictures on my flist. I like this series of Stephane!

3. You should really go read willowbell's fic. Armor For Our Tender Bodies! Five people who turned down Johnny and Evan for a threesome, and one who became a permanent part of their relationship. It is hilarious and sweet and awesome, and the final pairing (which I don't want to spoil) makes me ship a ship I thought I'd read but wouldn't actively ship.

4. nova33 has written a Five Things fic! Five people who discovered Johnny's tendency to wear lingerie, and one person who liked it almost as much as Johnny. There is no sex per se, but it's awesome and hot and so, so revealing. Basically, she wrote the fic I wanted to write and wrote it way better than I ever could. I would be jealous if not for the fact that I am beside myself with glee that this exists. Go read it.

5. You know what I'd read? Mao/Yuna fic. THIS IS WHAT THE FANDOM NEEDS MORE OF GODDAMNIT. forochel has informed me that there is some hatesex on the kink meme, but a) too lazy to go look for it and b) I don't want hatesex! :( If people can write schmoopy Evan/Johnny, I don't see why they can't do it for Mao/Yuna. Yuna is so adorable, you guys. *____________*

5a. No really, so cute: (The truth is) I've never said Toppoki is my favorite but it's been reported so. (In fact) it was like this: Reporters frequently ask me, "Don't you feel like eating Toppoki with your friends?" Then I go, "Y..e..s?" then there're reports coming out that I like Toppoki.

So yesterday egelantier talked to me about arranged marriages and The Like. All very topical interests with me! Then she posted it, and it is here! Go check it out, if it appeals to you.

egelantier: but after several days of that they sort of... well
they try to be more honest with each other, now, so they reluctantly admit that something is missing
or rather somebody
you know ;)
unlurkster: yes I know ;)
egelantier: and after some more time they decide to summon charlotte here (less chance of gossip) and try to settle things
poor ryan gets pressed into courier service
unlurkster: LOL I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
paining ryan again

Oh my god. ♥
