I still exist! I... just don't exist here on this specific platform very often.

I've been concentrating on writing my original stuff, but stalled out a bit right around the time HC Bingo came around for the year, so you can see what happened there. Eventually, though, I realized I was using those stories to stall from what I really should have been working on. So, here is everything that was pending (which constitutes a bingo, btw) in hopes it gets my ass in gear again:

Title: A Present from the Past

It's time for the 2016 Roll Call post. Did a fraction of what I used to in the days of old, but whatever - that 85K one totally makes up for it, right? Also only got one bingo over at hc_bingo since there is no way I'm finishing one that answers five separate prompts in time.

So, grouping these by fandom, as one does apparently...

Lucifer ( 1 fic )

Marvel ( 10 fics )

Merlin ( 1 fic )

Stargate: Atlantis ( 1 fic )

Stranger Things ( 1 fic )


Not too bad.

Now to getting around to finishing that one and posting the one that's pretty much been done for ages but I totally forgot to post.

Length: ~2,700 words

Synopsis: She may have, possibly, been in a tiny bar fight. She may have, possibly, found more than a single mother hen post-fight.
