Liz writes lots of fic. Presented by the Beatles.

[lizbee]

So, yes, I finished a fair bit of fic recently.  This isn't the full swag, but these are the ones I'm least likely to cringe over in the future.

(...you know there's nothing worse than reading back over old fics you thought were incredibly clever and brilliant, and realising that you're just an overrated fandom hack with an inflated ego?  That's how I feel, 90% of the time.)

Meanwhile, is there any use to which Beatles lyrics cannot be put?  And don't give me that look; a couple of years back, it would have been Tori songs.  However, I've had "Happiness is a Warm Gun" in my head for weeks, and now I can share the pain with everyone else.

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Frog Prince
Summary: Snape and Lily have a reluctant conversation in their sixth year potions class.
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Gratuitous tentacles. 
Fandom: Harry Potter
Spoilers: Half-Blood Prince
Notes: I started this, oh, a day after I finished HBP. Took me a while to find an ending.  It is entirely unambitious and uneventful, but I like it.


She’s not a girl who misses much.

Comfort and Joy
Summary: In which Russell greets her aunt's Christmas celebrations with something less than enthusiasm.
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Minor canon-stretching. Also: Lame.
Fandom: Mary Russell
Spoilers: BEEK, allusions to MREG.
Notes: This is what happens when you leave yourself open to blackmail; that is, you expose cesario to a truly awful, brain-destroying icon, and she demands fic as compensation. What kind of fic? Oh, hurt/comfort Christmas schmoop will do nicely.  *stares*

(So, yes, Christmas fic.  I was going to let it sit until December, but I spent Monday and Tuesday putting mince pies and tree-shaped shortbreads on the shelves at work, and now I'm so damn full of festive spirit that I might explode.)


Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, and she’s gone.

What River Knows
Summary: River knows a great many things. Here is a random sampling of twenty-one.
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Mathematical and sexual references.
Fandom: Firefly
Spoilers: Whole series, plus Serenity, plus speculation. That is to say: Big. Damn. Spoilers.
Notes: Inspired by the 20 Random Facts meme on LiveJournal, although with structural liberties taken.


Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game

The Art of Self-Preservation
Summary: The games people play to pretend to be normal. House and Cameron are two sides of a coin.
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Um … Cameron.
Fandom: House MD
Spoilers: Allusions to "Love Hurts", "Three Stories", "Acceptance".
Notes: Real, actual, honest-to-God House fic. *eyedart* Um, also written before I saw "Humpty Dumpty", so the vague thematic similarities are entirely coincidental.


...feedback is delicious and very welcome.  *curtsies*

I apologise for the presence of Cameron. I wanted to see if I could actually write her without my burning hatred bleeding through the screen and making itself obvious.

I'm very pleased you like it. 'Cos ... this is you, and as you say, it's been a while since we were in the same fandom. And someone noticed Chase's Australianism! *dances*

So you freaking should!

I don't know if you achieved that... because my own burning hatred was bleeding into the story and I kept hoping House would beat her to death with his stick like we know he wants to... ;)

And the Firefly story sounds really good! I wanna read it! *sigh* A couple more weeks and I'll be off to see Serenity...
