I have been needing to do this for a long time, what with the over a hundred stories in over 40 fandoms. This is a list of stories that are currently available somewhere in this LJ, or for which there is a very permanent offsite link. My website went down for good a couple of years ago; I am veeeery gradually restoring fic that was only available there.

Stories are organized alphabetically by fandom; alphabetically by primary pairing or character (usually by first name); and in ascending order by posting date. Crossovers are listed under both fandoms. I've also included word counts, MPAA ratings, and summaries for your browsing convenience.

This is the second part of a two-part fic. Headers are in part 1.

( He felt crazy, shouting alone outside in his robe and helm.Collapse )

Today is my twreversebang posting day! Apparently the way to get me to finish and post 12,000 words of fic is a deadline and an art prompt.

Title: Hell to Raise
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Characters/Pairings: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Sheriff Stilinski, Scott McCall, Original Male Deity
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 12,587
Warnings: Consent issues. Stiles is underage and Derek is not.
Summary: Stiles is the last in a long line of pagan priests. Of course, the god in question is a sarcastic trickster god who mostly just wants him to get laid. Of course.

Notes: Infinite thanks to turnonmyheels for the beta and to gone_shaughraun for helping me with plot.

Based on this gorgeous artwork by tipitina.

Also available on AO3.

( Stiles's dad had a talent for creative punishments.Collapse )

Continued in part 2.

I wrote a bunch of things! And they were anonymous. And then I had to go on a major work trip while authors were being revealed. They've all been on AO3 for a while, which is where things tend to wind up these days.

Adventures in International Sexting
Gymnastics RPF
Epke Zonderland/Danell Leyva
Danell and Epke love taking pictures of themselves almost as much as they love to look at each other.

This was my assigned story for Yuletide, for a_la_grecque. She asked for Zonderland/anyone, so I took the liberty of slashing him with my own favorite elite men's gymnast. This was an absolute blast to write, and not just because my research involved looking at the naked pictures that both guys have plastered the internet with. (Seriously, when public figures are distributing semi-pornographic images of themselves, the morality arguments against RPF dissolve into the ether.) Alas, NBC has eradicated all video footage of Leyva miming the motions of Zonderland's routine as Zonderland did it at the Olympics, but it happened and I saw it.

The Cake Is a Lie
Revenge
Nolan Ross/Padma Lahari
Nolan doesn't need to wear pants to play this game.

I wrote this as a Yuletide pinch hit for marksykins, who apparently shares my love for Nolan and fascination with Padma. This is far fluffier and happier than I think Nolan/Padma will actually turn out, but romantic optimism is one of the chief uses of fanfic. This ended up overflowing with Portal references, right down to the title, and generally playing with Nolan's identity as a geek. It ends up not talking about his sexuality at all, which was not the choice I expected to make, but any mention dragged the story into didacticism.

*

The Mouth of a Wolf's Not the End of the World
Teen Wolf
Allison Argent/Lydia Martin, Derek Hale, Gerard Argent
Allison has always been a werewolf hunter. Derek was ten when he survived the fire that killed his family. When the Argents return to Beacon Hills to kill Derek, Allison meets Lydia, and their romance makes her want to break the cycle.

How to write a story for tw_holidays and have it almost totally ignored: 1) Write femslash. 2) Have your recipient drop out. 3) Let Derek muscle his way into a major supporting role, but never mention Stiles or Jackson. 4) Write femslash without any porn. 5) Come up with a concept that probably requires 30,000 words but only have time to write 4500. 6) Fail to alert your friends to the existence of the fic until a week after the author reveal. (I actually like this story a lot and hope that someone notices it someday.)

I've been working on my Best Songs of 2012 mixtape and commentary, but again with needing to put work ahead of fun. Remember when I was procrastinating my dissertation and had time for this stuff? But it all gets done eventually.

At long last, it's part three of my sixth annual figure skating costume awards. This is the original and most controversial category: the Gay Costume Awards, given to those costumes that, in whatever way, bring out the most "flamboyant" and "controversial" aspects of on-ice couture. Skaters of both sexes and in every discipline are eligible for a Gay Costume Award. This is not a commentary on the personal lives or identities of the skaters, only on how they look in their costumes. And in my world, "gay" is a compliment.

This was, unfortunately, not a particularly gay year in figure skating costumes.

( So much sheer fabric, so few nipple sightings.Collapse )

Welcome to day two of my sixth annual figure skating costume awards! Today I honor the best in figure skating costumes: the flattering, the original, the tasteful yet memorable. Check out the tl;dr in part one for more on my self-imposed rules.

This year marks a historic occasion: for the first time, Meryl Davis and Charlie White did not make my top ten best. I am still their fan, but I am withholding awards until Charlie finds a real costume to wear in the free dance.

With no further ado (or snark), the 2012 Classy Costume Awards.

( It's all in the sleeves.Collapse )

Welcome to the 2012 Illusion Mesh Trainwreck Awards! This is the first of three sets of awards I give annually to the best, worst, and most flamboyant figure skating costumes of the season. It's the sixth consecutive year I've given these awards, and this year, I almost forgot. Many thanks to the anon who hunted me down on Formspring and reminded me!

All three sets of awards have some basic eligibility rules. Any skater who has competed in one or more senior Grand Prix events may be considered, and only competitive costumes are eligible. That means no juniors, no exhibition or show numbers, and no "senior B" events. Skaters in all four disciplines are eligible in all three categories, and skaters can win multiple awards for different costumes. For ice dance and pairs, I consider both skaters' costumes and how they look together as well as individually.

Today, I'll be highlighting the horrors: the worst costumes of the 2012-13 season. While I'm particularly sensitive to abuses of illusion mesh (the stretchy flesh-tone fabric used for tights and inserts), I also care about how the costume fits, flatters the body, suits the program theme, and contrasts with the ice.

( What did turquoise stretch fabric ever do to you?Collapse )

Here's the second fic I wrote for femslash12, a Teen Wolf/Vampire Diaries/Lost Girl crossover for turnonmyheels.

Title: The Quick and the Dead Will Find You
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries/Teen Wolf/Lost Girl
Pairing: Caroline Forbes/Lydia Martin, kind of Bo Jones/Caroline and Bo/Lydia
Rating: PG-13 for violent and sexual imagery
Word Count: about 3400
Warnings: None standard.
Summary: A succubus, a vampire, and a girl genius walk into a bar restaurant. Together, they fight evil. That's not the punchline.
Author's Notes: Thanks to thistle90, gone_shaughraun, and sapience14 for helping me put this together. The title is from a Ladyhawke song. I wanted to set this in Raleigh-Durham but didn't have time for research, so I hope my own backyard is an acceptable substitute.

( There is no way Caroline is getting into Yale.Collapse )

Femslash '12 fics are up! Well, except for two slow pinch hits. We're working on that.

I wrote two fics this year, as usual. This is my first: Mass Effect for sheeana, which gave me the excuse to obsess over the details of one of the most densely worldbuilt fandoms I've ever written in. And to write Tali, who is my favorite.

Title: Armor
Fandom: Mass Effect
Pairings & Characters: Tali'Zora vas Normandy/Female Shepard, Garrus Vakarian
Rating: NC-17 for explicit sex
Word Count: about 2200
Warnings: None standard.
Summary: All of the things Tali needs to do before she can take off her environmental suit, and a few of the things she needs to do after.
Author's Notes: Thanks to thistle90 for beta reading. This is set during ME2.

( Aliens speak metaphorically of love as a type of illness.Collapse )

All of the femslash12 matches are matched and assignments are sent! And marathon day is over for another year.

Here is my Dear Author letter, before I forget.

Dear femslash12 author,

As always, I know who you are! No pressure.

I'll start with my requests and move on to more general stuff at the end.

The Good Wife (Alicia/Kalinda):
No matter what happens on the show, I am convinced that Alicia and Kalinda belong together. I am a big fan of Eli and love watching Alicia interact with her kids. Please deal delicately with their other love interests: do get them out of the way, but don't bash.

Warehouse 13 (Myka/Claudia, Claudia/Leena, Jane Lattimer/Mrs. Jinks)
I live in an imaginary world where this show is about Claudia, Steve, and Artie. I would love fic that explores Claudia's relationships with the rest of the Warehouse team, and how one relationship turning romantic/sexual affects all the others. As for Mrs. Lattimer/Mrs. Jinks, well, W13 cast all of my '90s femslash heroes as people's moms. Kate Mulgrew + Laura Innes = crackfic option.

Gymnastics RPF: Gabrielle Douglas/Jordyn Wieber, Gabrielle Douglas/McKayla Maroney, Jordyn Wieber/McKayla Maroney, Gabrielle Douglas/Aliya Mustafina, Aliya Mustafina/Ksenia Afanasieva
I love the contrasting personalities at the top of the sport and how they all interacted at the Olympics and afterward. Sexual curiosity and friendly experimentation is the vibe I see here - pining or Forever Love doesn't really strike me as in character. Athletes are very aware of their bodies, so play with that.

Teen Wolf (TV show): Allison Argent/Lydia Martin
I am protectively OTP-ish about these two. I want them to say to hell with all those angsty boys and go have an adventure of their own. Like, Lydia is the brains, Allison is the muscle, together they fight monsters.

Diablo III: Barbarian/Enchantress, Demon Hunter/Enchantress
For two weeks in late May and early June, I ate, slept, and played Diablo III. In my mind, my female player characters were all sneaking back to Tristram to snuggle with the Enchantress. Try to give the player characters more depth than they have in the game.

Some general notes:

No babies, no little kids, no pregnancy. This is very nearly a bulletproof squick.

If you want to write me some hot porn, that would be great. I am a big fan of NC-17 femslash and don't feel there is enough of it. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable, don't feel pressured. You can get a lot of mileage out of a kiss.

I prefer stories where the love/desire is requited and followed through upon. Angsty longing from afar is not really my bag.

Be kind to male friends and family. In most cases, I like those characters, and man-bashing will really put me out of a story.

I love unusual structures and stories that play with POV and tense.

Even if you don't do an AU, I often like subtle sci-fi or fantasy elements in RPF and realistic fandoms. And little moments of mundane realism in SFF fandoms.

Do not like: high school AUs, zombies, Bruce Springsteen, non-con, rigid gender roles, "five things" stories, faux-clever cameos from other fandoms, Evan Lysacek.

Do like: superhero AUs, unicorns, R.E.M., sex toys, genderplay, road trips, ambiguity, dialogue, Muppets.

But the most important thing is, I'll be incredibly excited about and grateful for whatever you write for me. Thank you so much.

Much love,
Mosca
