Feb. 16th, 2011 01:18 pmI finally got to see Black Swan yesterday, and man, that is one intense movie. We also did a load of shopping, including two new outfits for me, went to Lush where one of the assistants came charging over asking if I'd been spraying perfume because something smelled gorgeous. He had a sniff of my wrist and as a result I ended with a solid Karma perfume. Which yeah, I know it's their job to sell but the staff there are awesome. Went grocery shopping, then home and had a giant, delicious chicken stir fry, then another two hour bath. I really need to take my watch into the bathroom because I keep getting caught up in my books and coming out of the bath hours later looking like a giant prune.
This morning I've already been to the dump and picked up the stuff for another stir fry, a quorn one tonight though I think. I also have a pineapple that's crying out to be chopped and eaten. Om nom nom.
To end, the WIP meme. In the interests of full disclosure, until very recently, like, when I decided to do this meme recently, none of my wips had titles at all as I'm the most disorganised ever. But now they have them, after opening many old documents to find out what the hell they were. Which was interesting, especially when I found snippets I couldn't remember writing, like a paragraph of something from Lindsey's POV and Mikey wanting to be the best kind of mermaid. Which really, I'd say it wasn't mine but the fact that I've actually written a full story on those lines mean I can't deny it.
Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. And as others have said, ask me about one and I'll tell you something about it or post a snippet.

Date: 2011-02-16 05:36 pm (UTC)It's a total h/c cliche fest, with Ryan being hurt, and the other three living rough in a freezing abandoned building.
I just love the idea of them being taken in by Gerard and Mikey, who're not that old themselves, and try and make a life all crowded into one house when the Panic boys are all emotionally and physically scarred.

Supernatural funeral home?? Have I heard about that before?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-16 05:33 pm (UTC)I really need to take my watch. Reading that long is lovely but it takes a big chunk out of the evening, plus, other people need the bathroom too.
I don't think so. I was talking about it with someone on my flist and is very much a story with more an overall idea rather than a plot just now. Basically it's the Ways running a funeral home for supernatural creatures. They have a safe area for vamps to mourn fallen family and friends. Don't think twice when weres howl their goodbyes, stuff like that.
If I can think of a plot it may even get more added one day.

Date: 2011-02-16 01:35 pm (UTC)Anyway. That's a story which starts with Gerard coming home from art school one freezing night. On the way he spots Ryan, who then gets hit by a car ( I must admit, poor Ryan has been lying in the road bleeding for a long time )
Gerard tries to get Ryan to go to hospital, but he refuses even though he's all banged up. In the end he does get him to go home with him, where Mikey takes it all in his stride, all 'oh, Gerard's brought home a bloody and bruised waif, I'll go put on the coffee'
It then turns out that Ryan's homeless and is living on the streets with the other three. And while Ryan is sleeping in an actual bed the others are huddled together in freezing derelict building. Yes, I am that clichéd *g*
Then things happen and the Ways end up with 4 suspicious, occasionally hostile boys living with them despite being little more than kids themselves.

The kinky Frank/Mikey is a fill for the killjoys kink meme. The prompt was for dub con with Mikey drugged, but I found that even though I'll happily read dub and non con the thought of it being between people I really like doesn't work for me. So all I have is Frank rescuing a drugged Mikey. I've left it in the folder because I may finish it in some other way, I just don't know how just now.
The now one is a Frank/Mikey where they've been hooking up since the early days, usually on tour. Alicia and Jamia are aware and it's sort of a story about how your best friend can be someone you have sex with at times and how relationships and love take many forms. Sadly apart from thinking of them hooking up I haven't an actual plot, which is an issue.
Black Swan is amazing, and a bit of a mind fuck at times. I hope you enjoy it.

Date: 2011-02-16 02:30 pm (UTC)It starts around the time Gerard is at his worst, and Mikey hangs on as long as he can but then one day has to run away from home. Which breaks his heart but it's that or hating Gerard, and he could never do that.
So, he runs, but Frank comes with him. Fast forward in time and they've got this horrible appartment and shitty jobs they work at all hours. But are still happy together. Then Frank gets sick, ends up in hospital and Mikey loses his job due to spending time with Frank.
To make money he goes out and sells his body, because at that point he's desperate. He keeps doing so and Frank doesn't find out for the longest time because Mikey becomes really good at lying. In this time we meet Jon the hot nurse who sneaks Mikey food and covers him with blankets when he falls asleep at Frank's bedside ( and I'm aware this sounds like classic fic finder fodder right now )
Frank finds out and he's furious, and Mikey's all hurt inside because he only did it to help Frank, and now he's angry with him. And then Gerard turns up and he's been eaten up with guilt for months now and now he's clean he's hooked up with Lindsey and together they're running this half way home for people who need a safe place and it's all kinds tragic!

Also: hi. :)
no subject
Date: 2011-02-16 07:07 pm (UTC)I had the best stir fry tonight. Quorn pieces, bean sprouts, peppers, mushrooms and other crunchy greenery. If you'd have been here I'd have shared.
Well, de-aged Mikey is for picfor1000 based on that picture of the little child I was given -- which is a girl but hey, details -- I think you saw that. As per my personal picfor1000 challenge it means it has to be Mikey and Gerard centric, and right now I'm thinking of a thing where de-aging and body swaps are normal. So will have 1000 words of Mikey bitching about being tiny, and Gerard refusing him coffee as it's bad for kids.
The funeral home I've discussed with you before. The story where Gerard is in charge of a funeral home for supernatural creatures. Nothing has been added since I last talked about it, but the idea is still there with the basement for vamp funerals and Gerard in his suit, not flinching when all the were howl for their departed kin.

Date: 2011-02-16 07:43 pm (UTC)I want to know more about MCR supernatural funeral home AU, because I don't think you've ever told me about that one. Also, because I am greedy, I want to know all about snuggie.

Date: 2011-02-16 08:00 pm (UTC)I could pretty much copy my comment to T as I have fic from you too. Best day for sure \o/
Okay, so you may remember I had a period of being intrigued about snuggies. It was when they first arrived here, and then Mikey was tweeting about them and I got to thinking about a fic where all the members of the band had one. I haven't touched it for a long time, but basically it was a series of scenes that would end with them all with a snuggie. I don't even know, sometimes I go a little insane I think.
Have a snippet.
Mikey would say it started at 7am on a sunny morning, when he wandered outside, sunglasses on, travel mug in hand, and promptly tripped over a package that was lying in front of the door. Wary of unexpected deliveries he'd toed at it with his shoe, then picked it up when it didn't explode. Coffee clutched securely, he'd frowned at the blurred return address label and ripped at the brown paper with his teeth until he revealed two snuggies. Confused, Mikey had shrugged and thrown them into the house.
Alicia would say it started later than that. Three weeks later in fact, when it was past 2am and she was curled up on the sofa, leaning against Mikey while flicking through the TV channels, pausing each time he said stop. It had been chilly that night and she'd shivered, pushing her free hand under Mikey's t-shirt, her fingers against his ribs. He'd linked their hands together, brushed a kiss against her knuckles, and laughed as he jokingly suggested the snuggie.
It reality it started two weeks after that. Won over by the soft material and practicality -- it was a blanket with arms -- and a shared love of the ridiculous, they'd sat watching infomercials, both wrapped in blue fleece. When it switched to a segment on snuggies. Blue snuggies. Pink snuggies. Snuggies with patterns, they'd looked at each other, and perfectly in sync, arched a brow.
Alicia picked up the phone.
The funeral home AU is something I got to talking about with someone on my flist. They mentioned how cool it would be and I agreed, and started this thing where Gerard is in charge of a funeral home for supernatural creatures. Then it never went any further, pushed aside for pink jeeps and lots of sand.

Date: 2011-02-17 09:40 pm (UTC)I'll show you what I have. Which is very little tbh.
“It’s apple sauce,” Gerard says, and holds up his hand. “She was finger painting.”
Gerard’s proud. It’s there in the tilt of his head and the slope of his smile, the way he rests his fingertips over sticky green blotches; fitting his fingers over the tiny handprint that decorates his arm.
Mikey’s hands are pressed close to his thighs, his shoulders pulled in tight. He says, “It looks like a dragon.”
“I know, right,” Gerard says, and he grins.
~~~~
Upstairs mom is cooking. Mikey can hear her, footsteps and clattering pans, the radio playing as Donna sings along. Songs about sunshine and summer, about heartbreak and loss.
Mikey grins when Gerard joins in, singing in a forced falsetto. His voice cracks on a high note and Gerard’s laughter is warm air against Mikey’s bare stomach.
“Loser,” Mikey says fondly. He can feel sweat slide down his neck and his glasses are smeared. He giggles when Gerard blows a raspberry against his ribs. “What are you, five?”
“No,” Gerard says, and he pushes himself up, the mattress dipping under his hands and knees. He straddles Mikey’s body, crawls with an intensity that cuts through the laughter. Gerard stills and his hair is falling forward, long and greasy; brushing against Mikey’s face.
Mikey bends his leg, knee splayed out and he jabs his toes against Gerard’s side, making his flesh dimple. “Mom’s upstairs.”
Gerard lowers himself down, his body fitted against Mikey’s, hot and heavy and perfect, he says, “So we’ll be quiet.”
Mikey breathes, shallow, his chest rising against Gerard’s.
~~~~~~
“It’s like, what if, what if I do it wrong?”
“You won’t,” Mikey says. They’re hidden away, tucked into an alcove, and for this moment it’s only them, that one step removed from the bustle beyond. He repeats, “You won’t.”
Gerard nods, and then says, his voice pitched low, “I’m scared.”
“I know,” Mikey says, and he puts his arm around Gerard’s shoulder, urging him forward. “Come on, it’s time to go back, dad.”
