fic: it takes a village (temeraire)

yuletide reveal, part the first!

title: it takes a village
fandom: Temeraire (Naomi Novik)
pairing: Laurence/Tharkay
rating: G
word count: 2871
summary: Rescuing that baby from the burning house was only the beginning of Laurence's troubles. And, of course, Tharkay's.
notes: To the surprise of ABSOLUTELY NOBODY who follows me on twitter, the babyfic was by me. This was an expansion/revision of an idea novembersmith and I once riffed upon here yea these many years ago, and I am unspeakably grateful that she gave me the okay to use it as the springboard for this fic! And also for her beta services. And to mardia, aramley, and t_lyrical for beta-ing and hand-holding, and laura47 for hosting yuletide parties and telling me I should just write the babyfic if I wanted to. Basically I needed a lot of help. Thank you, everybody!

( 'Laurence,' Tharkay asked, with absolutely no inflection, 'is that a baby?' )

fic: una loba en la bañera (football rpf)

title: una loba en la bañera
fandom: Football RPF
pairing: Mesut Özil/Sami Khedira
rating: PG-13
word count: 1407
summary: (224): They only knew me as the lesbian that passed out in a bathtub. That's not what you call friendship.
notes: I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the authorship of this one was not a big secret, either. Let it be known that pretty much NOTHING except my love for distira could have gotten me to write Madrid fic! But she wrote me my darlings as lacrosse players at a girls' boarding school, so I figure the least I could do is write her darlings as a lesbian roller derby team.

( 'It wasn't even that bad,' Nuri said. 'C'mon, you know Ramos doesn't give a shit, she blacked out at the last afterparty and made out with, like, half the team. There's still photos of her licking Cris tagged on Facebook. And she's straight. All you did was pass out in her bathtub.' )

fic: you are cordially invited (hart of dixie)

the third and last fic I wrote for yuletide! I always have this fantasy I'm going to be super-productive and write tons of fic, but I think three is pretty much the level of involvement I'm capable of. probably none of you read this on the archive because nobody but me is into Hart of Dixie but you all should watch it, because it is super adorable! and available on Hulu!

title: you are cordially invited
fandom: Hart of Dixie
pairing: Zoe Hart/Wade Kinsella
rating: PG
word count: 1594
summary: "If only I'd known when I was applying to medical school that my mother was right and it would only matter if I managed to find a man to marry me!" Zoe raged. "I'm a woman past thirty-five and I'm not married, I must not be a real doctor! Clearly my years of study and medical practice mean nothing compared to my good repute as a qualification to actually practice medicine in this stupid town!"
notes: The wedding invitation template is from here and the words of the wedding ceremony are from here. They're probably not exactly right for a secular wedding in Alabama but oh well!

( 'Lavon!' Zoe yelled, stomping into the kitchen in her not-exactly-sensible heels. 'LA-VON!' )
