Well now this is interesting. It's been a while since I wrote any decent (read: post-worthy) GO-fic; I attribute it to the massively depressing loss of both of my copies for seven months. But moving on...

One of the reasons why I love Good Omens fic so much is that it's so down-to-earth and yet otherworldly. There are angels and demons and other fantastical characters, and sometimes fandom makes them sleep together, but even without the sex there's all sorts of interesting things to write about!

Like death. Not DEATH, or Death, but you know, death. The loss of a body. It's got to be an issue for our favorite two wile-and-thwarters, and, well, I was curious as to how one (say, Crowley) would react whenever the other (say, Aziraphale) would... die. Or discorporate.

This fic is... ah, slightly thinky, vaguely humorous, immensely morbid, and themes of death and suicide are tossed around like pennies-- though I think I've written it rather respectfully. And it's unbetaed. Ha. :D

That said, feedback would be lovely. It's not as tight as I'd like it to be; any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Title: He kindly stopped for me
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG-13 for aformentioned morbidities.
Pairing: None! Le gasp.
Fandom: Good Omens
Disclaimer: It's not mine, really.
Notes: It's one of the more unusual fics I've written, methinks.

( And all of a sudden you’re thrown into the air, hovering over your dead body, looking at your feet and thinking, 'gosh, I wonder if that hurt?' )

And yet another Brideshead fic! I'm really on a roll here, or something; I actually wrote this a few days after Salt and Honey, and there's one more on the way...

This is another one of those 'missing scenes' fics, inspired by a few lines of dialogue which I've, ahem, borrowed at the end. The tone's different from S & H, too; do tell me what you think!

Thanks for reading; feedback is glorious but not required.

Title: Butterflies and Cathedrals
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG
Pairing: Hopefully canon-esque Sebastian/Charles.
Disclaimer: Brideshead and its characters don't belong to me; I just adore them. Additionally, the last three lines of dialogue are straight from the book.
Notes: Wine, aesthetics, romanticism, and a snatch of a summer alone.

( 'It’s all deep thoughts for my dear Charles tonight, isn’t it?' he asked. )

I've long loved the book Brideshead Revisited, by the extraordinary Evelyn Waugh. The relationship between Charles and Sebastian is probably the biggest reason why I adore it so, although the dizzying prose is probably a good second.

This is just a short "missing scene" of sorts that I scribbled up late last night. I've tried to emulate Charles's/Waugh's romantic style here; hopefully that turned out all right. Unbetaed, as all of my fics are.

Thanks for reading, and if you haven't read the book then please do! It's brilliant and gorgeous.

Title inspired partly by the quote "I was drowning in honey, stingless..." from the novel.

Title: Salt and Honey
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sebastian/Charles, although it could just be friendship.
Disclaimer: Brideshead and its characters don't belong to me; I just adore them.
Notes: I'm quite fond of this. I love Brideshead, I love the sea, I love Venice. It was fun to write. :]

( We walked out from under our rather feeble umbrella, where our clothes and other mortal adornments lay in one sad heap... )

I was listening to the Vitamin String Quartet's cover of Death Cab's "The Sound of Settling" (have I mentioned how much I love Death Cab?) and I guess this is the result.

I actually wrote it quite some time ago; there are still a few things that bother me but for the most part it's done. I've never written non-MWPP Remus/Sirius so... any and all feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Title: Found
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG. Sort of.
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Disclaimer: Definitely not mine. And the title of the song mentioned late in the fic isn't mine, either; I saw it in fic and thought I might've seen it in canon... whoever came up with it, congratulations!
Notes: It's set somewhere during OoTP, but it's one of those stolen moments that could happen at any time.

( He supposes he doesn’t mind. It’s enough to stay here, and live, and care. )

And this is the second of the Peter ficlets! I was hoping to write his commentary on Remus and Sirius separately, but then I figured my slashy mindset + Peter's ability to pick up on the small details (that's always how I've seen him, at at any rate) would prevent me from doing so. Thus, Peter's commentary on their relationship, or what he thinks is their relationship.

Not my favorite, but... I don't know, I just didn't see Peter having quite so much to say about Moony and Pads. And yeah, I didn't use the nicknames--simply because they feel stilted at times and Peter's sort of talking in his head for the most part.

But! Again, thanks so much for reading! :D It's not what I usually write; any and all feedback is just... crazy amazing. :]

Title: Peter: On Remus and Sirius
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG sounds about right.
Pairing: Remus/Sirius, but they're not in the foreground of this one.
Disclaimer: It's Jo's, definitely not mine.
Notes: My first second time writing Peter. And my second time writing first person? The statement still remains from the fic previous to this: any and all critique is LOVE. Also, if you know of any comms I might be able to post this to, you will be in my good books forever.

( I guess I shouldn’t be saying that, but I notice these things. )

So this is the first of the Peter!ficlets I might've mentioned earlier. I wrote them mostly out of an attempt to give him some attention; turns out he's a lot harder to write than I expected. But very interesting, fersure. :D

Anyway. This is Peter, talking about James. I like this one better than the second, though that's probably just me. THANK YOU FOR READING! :D I realize these two ficlets might not be particularly exciting or glamorous, so y'know. Thanks. :]

Title: Peter: On James
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG? Sure, let's go with that.
Pairing: None. I think. It's ostensibly gen, but...
Disclaimer: It's Jo's, definitely not mine.
Notes: My first time writing Peter. And my first time writing first person. And my first time writing intentional HP gen. Oh lordy, so many firsts. Therefore, any and all critique is LOVE. Also, if you know of any comms I might be able to post this to, you will be in my good books forever.

( Because it was still the four of us... the Marauders with a capital M. Us vs. the world. We were like a family, almost. )

This brings the total to... eighteen? Something like that.

Anyway. More drabbles; each exactly 100 words excluding any end parentheses. Almost all of these were written late at night and prompted from the title, or... written and then adjusted to a proper title. :D

Thanks for reading! ♥ Crossposted to lower_tadfield.

Title(s): Scattered, Surprise, Scandalous, Shaky, and Silent.
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: G to PG-ish? You know me. No smut, no language, just... themes. :D
Pairing(s): C/A as per usual, plus canon!ships and one surprise that isn't really a surprise.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Theirs. Canon ftw!
Notes: These are really meant to stand alone; they moods are all rather different. I tried to put them in some sort of order but that didn't work; so the current order is just one that felt right?

( 'Oh, bugger.' Aziraphale scowled at his desk. )

( 'We don't have birthdays,' Crowley says blankly. )

( The rest found out eventually. It was bound to happen. )

( 'I think we need to take some time apart.' )

( Sometimes an angel and a demon... )

Like the header says, this one's a gift. For anyone who's ever read, reviewed, or otherwise dealt with my fics, this one's for you. Thank you. But it's especially for sirius_luva because she's a wonderful, prolific writer, and even better than that-- a great friend. Thank you!

I wrote this as a gift, so it's not particularly controversial. Just thinky fluff that deals with the moon and the stars as we know them. :] Oh, and I wrote it in the car, late at night, longhand, in ballpoint pen. It's a very good mood setting, to be sure.

Thanks for reading! ♥

Title: Of the Night
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG, because it just doesn't feel like G. But there's really nothing provocative here. :]
Pairing: Remus/Sirius, as is my wont.
Disclaimer: The moon and stars belong to us all, but HP is JKR's.
Notes: Remus-centric. He thinks a lot, and this is what I think he thinks. Or something like that. Though Remus would probably be a tad more pragmatic about the whole thing. :D

( Remus knows the moon can be reached—after all, even the muggles did it not too long ago—but the stars are unattainable. )

Once again I come bearing a Death Cab for Cutie inspired fic, though this one is for Good Omens rather than the HP-fandom.

The song: Someday You Will Be Loved.

Though really, it's more the feel of the song than the actual lyrics themselves... in fact, the lyrics have almost nothing to do with the fic I've written. But if you happen to have the song on an mp3 player near you, by all means, play it while you read. :]

It's been a while since I wrote a full length Good Omens fic. But I'm rather fond of this one, and I hope you like it too!

Title: Someday You Will Be Loved
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG ish. Mentions of shady characters and shadier businesses.
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley (Although it could be gen. This pairing walks the line.)
Disclaimer: Good Omens is not mine. Death Cab is certainly not mine. But everything else came from my pen. XD
Notes: This is a fic in two parts (plus a transition), so don't be shocked by the change in tense!

(  “It’s all lust,” Crowley replied, with the secret smirk of someone who knows exactly what lust is. “Perhaps a little bit of love. But I’m not interested.”  )

Look! It's a non-angsty R/S fic! :D

I am a little bit obsessed with Remus Lupin. So I wrote this fluffy little piece. Still trying to get a feel for the boys; this is my attempt at a more sweet, fandom-friendly R/S (as opposed to my other two pieces, Secrets and This is the Moment). However, I think I might be better at angst.

Entirely too long and perhaps a little confusing, but so be it. Title comes from one of John Keats' sonnets, "When I have fears that I may cease to be." The actual sonnet doesn't really suit this piece, though; I just snagged the title. :]

Thanks for reading! ♥

Title: Huge Cloudy Symbols of a High Romance
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG for a swear word, mostly G.
Pairing: Remus/Sirius, or rather, Sirius watches Remus.
Disclaimer: The boys aren't mine. The poetry isn't, either. I just fic them. :D
Notes: A little long and rambly, but it was fun to write.

( It’s always rather entertaining to watch Remus holler—politely, of course—at hapless firsties as he races down the hall. )

Quite some time ago quantum_witch posted a lovely set of music inspired drabbles. They were based on a meme and I thought I'd try it too. :D

Yoinked from quantum_witch
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.

Except I cheated, because I turned all of mine into forreals drabbles, meaning 100 words each. Which required some editing after the song was over. Um. And I also kind of just wrote with the song, instead of picking a theme. Ahaha. I'm so bad at following rules. XD

That said, here be drabbles! :D Featuring Aziraphale and Crowley, because I am a fangirl.

Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG. Ish.
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley for the most part?
Disclaimer: Erm. Good Omens is property of Pratchett and Gaiman. Not mine, alas.
Notes: A little sad, a little wistful, a little angsty. I don't know, I like them. :D

( Drabbles... with bonus Anathema, because she is nice! )

... writing this was a total guilty pleasure. I won't go into details, because there's only so much one can say about 100 words of pure self-amusement, but... wow, this was fun to write!

Another one of my s-drabbles~ for the rest of them, hit up mine FF.net or check the fanfiction on this journal.

Anathema + Newt are quite possibly the most entertaining characters around. :D

As always, thanks for reading! Feedback's not a must, but wonderful. :] Posted to lower_tadfield as well as here.

Title: Superstitious
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: Anathema/Newt... being domestic?
Pairing: G (is for gen!)
Disclaimer: I'm like a tourist. I just write in their world. It's not mine!
Notes: Anything I put here would give it away, sooo... onto the cut!

( Newt stared at the bedraggled lump in Anathema’s arms... )

So I am a HUGE Death Cab for Cutie fan. Srsly. And one of my favorite songs of theirs is Tiny Vessels. And I was listening to it quite some time ago and realized that oh em gee, it's like Remus and Sirius!

Except not (because another lover is never mentioned, haha). But it's close enough for me, so I decided to write this. I have no idea why my R/S fic is so angsty. I don't intend it to be! Next one will be happier, I promise.

Rambling over, here it is! Thanks for reading... and feedback is love! ♥

Title: This is the Moment
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG-15? I love my fluid rating system. XD
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Disclaimer: The song, the characters, and the book are not mine. The plot, now that I think about it, might not even be mine. :0
Notes: Slightly long-winded and angsty; finishes better than it starts, if that helps. I like it :]

( At the end of the year Sirius breaks up with his girlfriend, as he always does... )

I am immensely fond of this fic. I'm not entirely sure why. But I wrote it all in one go and edited it a teensy bit and then filed it away and forgot to post it.

So here it is! :]

Thanks for reading ♥

Title: Counting the Stars
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PGish for thoughtfullness (if that's even a word) and intentional physical contact.
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley, as usual :]
Disclaimer: I just borrow them, that's all.
Notes: Thoughtful fluff. I really ought to make this a genre of its own, I write so much of it. XD I really like this one, hope you do too!

( Once, a long time ago, Aziraphale tried to count the stars. )

Yes, I am awful with titles. Shoot me now before I think of one that's even worse. XD

This fic is almost pure fluff. Candyfloss if you will. I'm hoping there aren't insane amounts of OOCness? Also, and more importantly-- this one's for pens_quarters. Even though she doesn't really use her LJ. Because she is one of my besties IRL and I wrote this when I felt like she needed a fic and yeahhhhh.

Yay for fluid not-legit ratings! Contains immortal beings kissing, wine, and perhaps a little bit too much attention to detail.

Thanks for reading! :]] ♥ Feedback is love, as usual~

Title: Accidents (or so they would seem)
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG-10. Yes, 10.
Pairing: Crowley/Aziraphale. But of course.
Disclaimer: Do I look like a genius to you? Theirs, not mine.
Notes: Beware of fluff. And oh em gee, footnotes?!

( Aziraphale, Crowley has decided, is a master of accidental physical contact. )

So I've been taking this history class. It's called Age of Reason, focused on Europe, and it spans from the Renaissance until... erm, I dunno. It's prep for US History, though.

A few weeks ago we were studying the Reformation, and we read about the St. Bartholemew's Day Massacre-- the largest act of violence in Europe, up until the World Wars. Anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 Huguenots killed, I think, and all because of conflicts of religion. French Catholics vs. French Protestants (Huguenots).

It's pretty heavy subject matter, and I wasn't intending to fic it, but fic it I did, and so here's the result. I've taken some liberties with the time period-- poetic license, let's say. Not massive amounts of detail about the actual event, so one could probably read it without any knowledge of the massacre and still understand it.

Not fluff; more thoughtful. It's the last of my three very introspective fics. :0

Thanks for reading... feedback and concrit welcome, as always! Perhaps x-posted to lower_tadfield, if I get around to it. :0

Title: No Safe Place
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG for non-fluffiness and a small amount of blood.
Pairing: None really-- it's set in 1572, and I can't really picture A/C at that point.
Disclaimer: Still not mine.
Notes: Slightly dark, historical fic. Not fluff, somewhat thoughtful.

( 'A massacre,' Aziraphale finishes quietly. The words are sour on his tongue. )

Anyone remember the drabble collection I wrote a while ago? (but updated kind of recently) Used to be called home, now called somewhere?

Yeah, it's been a while. XD
But this popped into my head late at night (I think that's how most of my fic starts, actually) and well... yay?

Continuing with the s-adjectives theme... I'm not sure if this title suits the actual drabbleage, but so be it. PG because of um, shirtlessness? But really, more of a G. *just wanted to have something other than G in the headings of my journals*

Thanks for reading! Crossposted to lower_tadfield, and also on FF.net.

Title: Seductive
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: PG for shirtlessness and to spice up my journal. Really more of a G. XD
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley (but of course!)
Disclaimer: Not mine... and I'm guessing it's not yours, either. :0
Notes: Late-night drabbleage. Not particularly deep, but amusing. :D

( Demons, being agents of Hell, are very adept at certain… things. )

I wrote this a long time ago-- a sort of introspective!Aziraphale piece to match the introspective!Anathema one. And I liked it quite a bit, but now... I'm not so sure.

I was really interested in the idea and everything, but it doesn't flow quite how I want it to, and it doesn't go as in depth as I'd like it to, either. Kind of skims the surface, instead.

Wow, I think I've done a successful job of convincing you all to not read this! XD
But yeah. Rambling aside, here it is!

Title: And What is Right?
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: G. It's gen fic. No, really.
Pairing: None. Aziraphale centric, mentions of Crowley, but it's more friendship than anything else.
Disclaimer: Still not mine. I'm not British, not two blokes, and not a bloody genius. XD Yay for pathetic alliteration!
Notes: It's trying to be thoughtful, I'll let you decide if it is or not. Perhaps eventually x-posted to lower_tadfield if anyone thinks it's worth sharing :]

( Aziraphale isn’t sure if he’d even want to be human... )

Thanks for reading! ♥ Feedback is love, as always. :]

I always knew I'd succumb to it eventually.
Remus/Sirius is my HP OTP. Cuz I'm a Marauders fan. :]

I've read lots and lots of R/S (as a lurker... I gotta go and find these people, now that I have an LJ!) over the months, but I hadn't actually, well, written any.

UNTIL NOW.

This popped into my head reaaaally early in the morning, and demanded to be written for the rest of the day. That was a few days ago. I just got to typing it, and here it is! :D

Edit: Now crossposted to hp_slash and remusxsirius! Wewt.

Thanks for reading! ♥

Title: Secrets
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: Uh. PG-13? Let's go with that.
Pairing: Remus/Sirius (MWPP era, by the way)
Disclaimer: It's not mine. Enough said? :D
Notes: It's not fluff, but it's hopeful. A bit more serious (ha) than what I usually write.

( These times, they are a-changing, but not fast enough. )

Some thoughtful, slightly fluffy tidbits about Newt and Anathema. Because they are awesome and need more love, not to mention ficcage. :D

The first is a drabble for my s-adjectives collection (previously known as home, now known as somewhere, because alliteration is amazing). Anathema/Newt, focusing on Newt.

The second is more Anathema-centric and was written purely because I adore her character and am mildly curious about the whole prophecy business. I'd like to expand on it later if I ever get around to it.

Author babbling aside, here they are!

Title: Strong
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: G
Pairing: Anathema/Newt
Disclaimer: I am not Terry Pratchett, nor am I Neil Gaiman. Though that would be really cool. So yeah. Not mine.

( Strong )


Title: Uh. Let's go with untitled. :D
Author: m_erechyn
Rating: G
Pairing: None, canon A/N doesn't really count.
Disclaimer: Nope, still not mine. :0

( Make way for introspective Anathema! )
