I have a few ficbits that I'm never planning on finishing (for various reasons) hanging around my hard drive. I thought some of you might be interested, so here they are, in all their unedited glory. (On that note, if you've ever wondered what my first-draft roughs look like, here's your chance to see! It's also a good show of how my writing's improved, I think.)

Enjoy!

Title: Ever Second
Pairing: F!Aeducan/Gorim, F!Aeducan/M!Dwarf prostitute, (and was going to have manipulative F!Aeducan/Alistair)
Rating: T
Wordcount: 1878
Written: Feb, 2011
Reason for not finishing: As much as my Aeducan is terrifyingly awesome, she just wasn't very fun to write, especially as it was more of a summary of the events of her playthrough. I did, however, enjoy writing the opening - when she's lost in the Deep Roads.

Title: Blessed Andraste, Bride of the Maker (wears a strap-on)
Pairing: Maker/Sebastian/Andraste D/s
Rating: PG (the part I wrote, anyway)
Wordcount: 994
Written: April, 2011
Reason for not finishing: I COULDN'T DO IT. It was originally a hilarious What If with smaragdina concerning religious ecstasy and trance states and how the Maker was probably a pretty cool guy but would never let another person touch Andraste, so she'd just have to do all the touching...

But I suck at writing crackfic. :( So you only get the serious opening (which quotes heavily from the Chant) and a bit of where things started to get weird.

Post-game spoilers and all that jazz.

Title: Whispers in the Dark, pt. 2
Game: Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening
Pairing: F!Amell/Anders, F!Amell/Alistair (past)
Rating: T
Wordcount: 11590
Warnings: Angst/depression
Summary: Jane's sadness nearly gets Anders killed. Anders responds by making some tea.
Notes: Edited/retconned 8/15/2011! No more Silence

Also, obviously, the world and all characters except for the specifics of Jane's characterization are the property of Bioware. ♥

Part 1!


( Oh, no. No, no, no. I don't trust you at all. You'll just turn into a mouse and scamper off to some little hiding hole, and I'll spend the whole night worried that Ser Pounce-a-Lot has gotten you. )

I've beaten Awakening with both Jane Amell and Fynnea Tabris! I like Awakening, though it seems short and under-realized. The plot is FASCINATING but it's not fleshed out enough! Also, it seemed easier than Origins. High Dragons shouldn't be THAT easy to kill, you guiz.

DA!fic still has my brain all wrapped up. In progress are:

Temper, Temper - Fynnea Tabris/Zevran Arainai. Origins timeline. Chapter 1 is ready to go up whenever, Chapter 2 is drafted and in the process of being revised. I wrote an interlude between the two chapters (skippable, since it's only silliness and smut, but ohsofun), so that needs to be revised, as well. I have five other chapters planned, of various lengths. I'll start posting it in installments once I have another chapter or two drafted, to ensure I don't drop the project like I did with The Negative Confessions.

Whispers in the Dark - Jane Amell/Anders Awakening!fic, with bits of past Jane Amell/Alistair. I have a few scenes drafted out. It's another sad Jane!fic, but it's ending is far happier than Silence (which I'm still proud of, if disturbed by). I'm not going to write any more Origins timeline Jane fic, because there's not much to write about, but Whispers will have a lot of flashbacks.

A Story Not About Wars or Heroes - Haha, the working title is taken from the opening. This is still in the planning stages, and likely will be until Temper, Temper and maybe Whispers are finished. Why? Because it's going to be quite long and it has nothing to do with any of the Origins or Awakening characters! Instead, it's me playing around with Thedas. :) It's about a blood mage and a templar and living in the wake of the events of Origins. Also, the loss of Gwaren's Teyrn. Also, lyrium withdrawal. :D


I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS LAST ONE GUYS, but if I do anything more than plot I'm afraid nothing else will get finished. XD Temper, while something I want to write, has little plot and is more a series of sketches of Zev and Fyn's relationship during the game and afterward. It's more getting Fyn out of my head and onto paper. But that last one? INTENSE PLOT. SLOW BUILD. FFFFF.


(And there's always that Loghain/Sophia thing that I wrote bits of. Haha.)


When I get back to campus and have my tablet, pictures are getting drawn, oh yes. Because I need a Fynnea icon. Also, at some point, I want to sew myself a set of Tevinter-style robes. Not sure what exact set yet - Jane's iconic one (to me) are the Reaper Vestments, but in Awakening, there's a cute green set...
