That A-Z meme

I wasn't going to do it, until I saw people just going with the first fic of that letter.

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting a fic title? One fic per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.


A - Abandoned to be Annealed - a what if of Mara Jade as Rey's mother for The Force Awakens and Star Wars Expanded Universe (Legends).
B - Bachelor Threatened - Vorkosigan Drabble for Ivan
C - Caesar's Dalliance - Ancient RPF, Julius Caesar/Cleopatra VII fic
D - D:BH Drabbles - 6 drabbles for the Detroit: Become Human game
E - Ear For It - A Radar O'Reilly ficlet toying with his ESP concept from M*A*S*H

F - Face Off - DCUA ficlet with Dinah and Slade at odds
G - Galactic Rim - A PacRim fusion for SW:TCW with Rex & Ahsoka
H - Had it Easy - Heinlein's Future History, a drabble of Sharpie
I - I Could See Him - Pitch Black drabble that proves I am a sadist at times (Carolyn's POV of her final moments)
J - Jack on Dying - huh, a second Pitch Black, this one Jack's POV on death (not theirs)

K - K-7 Surprise - ST:TOS Fluff (and recent!)
L - Ladies Bingo: Column Five - multi-fandom ladies' ficlets
M - Ma'at's Blessings - Prince of Egypt Ramses/Moses fic
N - Name Day Celebration - Star Wars PT/TCW fluff for Kit/Aayla/Bly
O - Objective - SG-1 drabble of Vala

P - Pacific Rim Meme Responses - Multi-fandom PacRim fusions
Q - The Quantum Case - Quantum Leap noir ficlet
R - Rabbit Holes - SG-1/Sanctuary drabble crossover
S - Saber and Robe - SW:PT crack ficlet
T - T'hy'la - ST:TOS drabble (could it be anything but?)

U - Uncharted Seas - Harper Hall triple drabble for Alemi/Elgion
V - Vacation Among Family - Talents Series set during the Pegasus books.
W - Wager - DCU, Cassie/Rose drabble
X - X's and O's - ST:TOS, Spock/Bones double drabble
Y - Yer a Wizard, Drizzt - Legend of Drizzt AU where he was made to become a wizard.
Z - Zaknafein - Legend of Drizzt AU that was set up more like a fairy tale.

26 of 26, and I could have listed one for numerals, though none for symbols.

Thoughts? My tendency to writing small snippets of fic is on display. Most of the longer fics in this list were written for Exchanges. I am shocked Transformers didn't pop up. Pretty wide spread of my fandoms, though.

Reagancomics (6 of 7): Getting Kinda Mean About Nancy



Readers who wanted to see Reagan in an actual Captain America story could get one the following year, in Captain America v1 #344, 1988. This issue doesn't feature much of Reagan's real personality for obvious reasons, but it does acknowledge his weird tendency to call Nancy "Mommy."

I mean, it's better than if she called him 'Daddy.' )

Judge Death 2025 Mega Special

I am of the camp that thinks 2000ad's Dark Judges are overused. But a Halloween special, with a story on each one of them, and an excuse for a new Bolland cover piece? No complaints!

Strange Tales (2025) #1

It probably only exists to maintain a trademark, but the art here is really nice! Some Young Avengers and Runaways get trapped in a Jumanji/D&D hybrid, and only the Scarlet Witch can save them.

Leverage Drabble

Their Holidays or read at SquidgeWorld (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Leverage (US TV 2008)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer
Characters: Eliot Spencer (Leverage), Parker (Leverage), Alec Hardison
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

They each have their own.






Eliot paid attention to the veteran holidays. He didn't much care for the complex behind it now, having seen all the ways it was abused, but most of those vets had died believing in an impossible dream worth protecting.

Parker, of course, was all about Santa and Christmas. She got to make up for the shitty holidays she'd seen as a kid.

But Hardison? Hardison went all out for Halloween. Decorations, costumes, and enough candy to kill a dentist was his philosophy. No one who showed up left empty handed, not even the parents. He needed them to be happy.

Strange critters and plants

oooh let's see what I've wandered over recently in this wondrous world of ours:

Doll's Eyes - I have never seen it in the wild, but I have recognized its use in some creepy movies where the plants seemingly watch people. Honestly, I was glad I stumbled over it in reading things before I ever had a chance to see it in the wild. It's nice and spooky.

The Black Bat Flower is less creepy to me, and more o.O at how it developed. Plants that mimic animal shapes fascinate me. (There's a carrion plant that resembles a sea-star / star fish, for instance).

Bleeding Heart - the first "creepy" flower I ever read about, I think. I think they look fascinating, actually.

and critters:

Dragon Headed Caterpillar - it evolves, as all catties do, but the larval stage is just so CUTE to me.

Flying Snakes - My uncle's worst nightmare, given his deep-seated phobia once led him to sink the boat he was in due to a snake flopping into it with him. I love the idea of these guys just LAUNCHING themselves through the air.

Fossa - the jokes about cats running on dog software (hyena) and dogs running on cat software (foxes), have NOTHING on this critter that is a mongoose-type running on cat software. Very predator, very fierce.

Markhor - but it's just a goat, right? CHECK OUT THOSE HORNS! I had to give my tiefling OC those horns because they are TOO COOL.

Tufted Deer - cute name, right? When's the last time you saw a deer with FANGS?! Seriously, I saw these and started trying to figure out WHY they evolved those.

I hope you enjoyed these!

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Reagancomics (5 of 7): Addled vs. Evil



Reagan starred in one of DC's highest-profile "graphic novels" of the 1980s, but he could have starred in both. The idea of using Nixon as President didn't occur to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons until some time after Watchmen's initial outline, and there are times when its Nixon is more of a stand-in or proxy for Reagan (Watchmen #8).

Doctor Strange #1 (Dec 2025)

cover for dr strange #1 feat angela

The Stephen Strange we saw in Doctor Strange of Asgard was still stinging from the loss of his Sorcerer Supreme status, and his focus was on gaining enough power to return to Earth, give Doctor Doom a bloody nose, and reclaim his title. None of that happened, because just when he’d gained the power, the way home was cut off from him.

The journey he’s on now is a difficult one. He’s still preoccupied with Earth, still feels that urgent need to return to Clea, to deal with his responsibilities there, but now he finds himself dealing with the responsibilities foisted upon him by his title of Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard. He originally sought that power out of a selfish need, so now he has to deal with those ramifications.
