People on the outside think there's something magical about writing,
that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones
and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn't like that.
You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that's all there is to it.
Harlan Ellison

Title: get loved, make more
Author: allthingsholy
Fandom: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Pairing: Lydia/Gigi
Words: 9700
Rating: PG-13
Notes: One time I wrote a 10k word fic in 24 hours. This is that fic. Thanks to betternovembers for the beta. Julia's Lydia/Gigi fanmix is at least partly to blame.

[Also at AO3.]

Summary: Lydia and Gigi spend a year figuring out, well. Everything.

Title: a lucky recollection, it saved
Author: allthingsholy
Fandom: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Words: 5k this chapter, 11k overall
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Pemberley fic! Because of course. Thanks to Meg, Erica, & Steph for the lookings-over, thanks to (Other) Meg, Marie, & Rachel for the cheerleading. This was going to be two parts. It's no longer two parts. I have no self-control.

[Also at AO3.]

Summary: Lizzie tries her best to concentrate, but she only hears about every third word that Abby says. She’s got one half of her brain watching Abby sketch out possible service app tie-ins and the other half on the toes of Darcy’s shoes, which she can just see out of the corner of her right eye. (Not that she’s concentrating on his shoes; it’s the rest of him, the living, breathing, right-behind-her rest of him that’s so distracting. She doesn’t blurt out, “All of the 100,000 people who watch my videos are basically clamoring for your face, sir,” because that would be horrible, but it’s a close thing. The room feels vaguely like it’s 115 degrees.)

Part 1: here.

Notes: Pemberley fic! Because of course. For plot purposes, let’s assume that Lizzie starts at Pemberley the first week of January, yeah? Excellent. Big thanks to Rachel for the encouragement, big thanks Erica & Meg for the lookings-over. All remaining flaws are all on me. Title cobbled together from P&P proper, because titling is harder than writing the damn thing.

Summary: Lizzie packs up her costume theater into the same bag she used to drag it from Netherfield to San Francisco and all the way back home again. One end of her red Darcy bowtie hangs out the side and she can just see the edge of the the newsboy hat beneath her blue plaid shirt. Lizzie runs her hands through her hair and sighs, because on the one hand it’s her thesis project and on the other hand, there are five sheets of high-class stationary tucked into the copy of Persuasion in her backpack. She tucks the bowtie to the bottom of her bag and keeps packing. Two months in LA with her sister. The Jane in her head says, “That’s not the same as leaving,” but Lizzie tucks that away too."

Dear Yuletide Author,

Title: You & Me of the 10,000 Wars (A Downton Industries Fic)
Author: allthingsholy
Fandom: Downton Abbey
Words: 11k this chapter, 21k total
Rating: R
Notes: Equal parts modern adaptation and modern au. Thanks to juniperlane & lulabo for the betas; thanks to goodmenfall for the britpicking. Any errors or Americanisms that remain are entirely down to me. Sorry for the super huge delay between chapter 1 and chapter 2, but life things and family things and. Chapter 3 will be up when ... chapter 3 is up.[Also at AO3.] Chapter one found here.

Summary: Robert Crawley, president and CEO of Downton Industries, wants to make sure his family’s company lives on after he’s gone. Heir-apparent to the company is Matthew Crawley, industrial lawyer and Robert’s new-found right hand man. Less than thrilled with Robert’s decision? His eldest daughter, Mary. Expelled from Oxford and a constant tabloid presence, Mary’s rebellious streak constantly puts her at odds with her father. She very publicly butts heads with Matthew, much to the displeasure of her family. But Matthew quickly learns that there’s more to Mary than meets the eye, and Mary might’ve made a few misjudgments of her own.

TO ANYONE WHO'S NOT TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT SHERLOCK YET:

( Nothing but Sherlock feelings inside re: Sherlock's relationship with Mycroft and at some point, Allison, you're going to have to just shut the fuck up.Collapse )

Today is National Fic Amnesty Day because I say it is, that's why! I have a few lingering BBT fics that I know I'm never, ever going to complete, so. (All of these are at least a year and a half old, since I"m 99% sure I wrote them before I moved.) Here they are!

bbt crack fairytale au, wherein penny wakes up one morning and she's a princess! (s/p, pg-13, 1600 words)

( Outside should sound like Pasadena, not some woodland fairy forest. Well, fuck.Collapse )

&

bbt high school teachers au, wherein the gang are all (you guessed it!) teachers at a local high school! (s/p, pg-13, 7200 words)

( It starts as a fight over auditorium time. Mr. Cooper wants it for his AP Physics class, something about demonstrating the transfer of velocity and the inadequate spatial dimensions of his classroom that Penny doesn’t really try to understand.Collapse )

Does this count as official fandom retirement? Do I still need to fill out forms or something?

Notes: A few months ago I posted this graphic on tumblr and, well. The damn idea wouldn’t let go. This is equal parts modern adaptation and modern au. Thanks to juniperlane & lulabo for the betas; thanks to Mary for the britpicking. Any errors or Americanisms that remain are entirely down to me. Thanks to everyone on tumblr who’s been so enthusiastic and interested, particularly Sam & Olivia. Cheers. [Also at AO3.]
