I <3 my new job. It's so awesome. I just had to say.

My wife's voice is getting fucking amazing, she's been covering Paramore, and she sings like a fucking angel. It's crazy. She does some parts better than Hayley. ANYWAY. TIME FOR OUR WALK!

I was having fun with anagrams today.

My Chemical Romance: Chic Melanoma Mercy

Gerard Way: Raged Wary

Frank Iero: Freak Iron

Ray Toro: Roar Toy

Go have anagram fun for yourself!

We're working on a side project, and these links are probably going to come in handy. Too bad the net is down at our house for a week...

Thanks for indulging me, etc etc etc, and thanks for my totally crazy-sick xbrokenbulletsx for pulling a blow-by-blow beta job for me. Love you, babycakes. Lyrics from I Do by Jude.

Title: Drift
Fandom: FFX-2
Characters: Wakka/Lulu, Rikku, Vidina, Paine
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Format: One-shot
Status: Complete, unpolished, spellchecked cause it's really late at night, and guess what, I kinda really don't care. Some things aren't meant to be perfect except my luscious, booty-licious derrière. Apparently I got caught with my pants down! DESOLE!
Words: 2455
For: bottle_of_shine
Summary: Lulu and Wakka struggle to deal with their relationship.
Author's Notes: Okay. So, FFX-2 has a few rubs for me, and one of them is this whole Wakka/Lulu wtfEVAR crap. Like them together or not, their relationship is more brother-sister in FFX and then Square decided that three's company but four is just a naked pillow fight waiting to happen, and Lulu had to be ousted from the tea party by getting crazy knocked up by Wakka. I don't like it, always thought it was a messy way to handle loose ends, and my brain will fight the notion of them being together for the rest of my life. So, because CANON =! GOOD IDEA or RIGHT IDEA or SMART IDEA or CLEVER IDEA, this fic was born. Just because it's canon doesn't mean we have to follow it – all good things must come to an end, and I'd rather not be some sort of canon-thumper on my pulpit of elitism! Keeping in mind I haven't slept yet and it is very late and I have to leave for school in thirty minutes, I'm not exactly in a level frame of mind right now! And I think I just linked to a picture of my ass (insert O NO I DIDN'T moment)! ALAS. You suffer. ;) Enjoy? I mean the fic, SRSLY.

Rating: R
Format: Chaptered
Status: Complete, polished, spellchecked.
Words: 3215
Disclaimer: I don't claim ownership of characters or games, only themes within.
Author's Note: A present for bottle_of_shine, because she's encouraging and fabulous and forgiving and a lot of f-words. In the words of my Serbian highschool gym teacher: just do eet.
Dedication: To the vibration dampener I dropped on my finger last week. You make writing a real torment, and I am truly "suffering" as artists are supposed to. Thanks a fuckin' lot, bitch!

Edit: Apparently someone thinks it's funny to laugh at my very real, very deeply-felt emotional agony after having my finger squished by a twenty-pound vibration dampener. I have only one thing to say: I am now truly an artiste, and no one is going to take that away from me.

bottle_of_shine: Your author notes. XD
bottle_of_shine: I
bottle_of_shine: I have to stop laughing first. XD
cupcakemonster: are you mocking my pain!?
bottle_of_shine: NO
bottle_of_shine: Just laughing at it. XD
cupcakemonster: what's the difference!?

Summary: Set almost ten years after the end of FFXII, Larsa is emperor of his own lands, with the trials and difficulties to match.
Author's Note: After some thinking, I decided to make this a prologue to a longer fic. It's been awhile that I've really sunk my teeth into something long and chaptered, so I was probably overdue to be bitten by some sort of plotkitten or other. It was really fun, and came way faster to me than anything has in the last little while! I think I needed to stretch my fandom wings a bit.
