Taste_of_Suburbia

Thank you for visiting and welcome!

My fan fiction can be found over at AO3 (I'm Taste_of_Suburbia) - maybe you already know me *waves*
My creative posts, however, are on Dreamwidth (icons, gifs, covers, posters, moodboards and the like)
All icons & gifs I post on dreamwidth are available to use, just please credit.
I'm also open to Transformative Works on any of my material; read more HERE.

The vast majority of my writing concerns SLASH, though I also write femslash, het and I'm trying to write more gen. I'm big into romance and even bigger into HURT/COMFORT, ANGST and fluff, along with family and friendship feels. I am a proud multi-shipper (especially rare ships), and I literally have way too many ships to list here. So you will see a wide array of fandoms (some popular, many obscure), characters and pairings. I am HUGE into fandom and my life is pretty much geeking out over it at every possible moment.

I'm starting to hang out on Dreamwidth more because it's a great place to post my icons, gifs, book and playlist covers, etc. It's also, occasionally, a great place to rant, critique or post my thoughts on things. With that being said, I have and will continue to post my writing on AO3 and will link to some of it here (mainly only things I write for collections, challenges, fests and the like).

Please feel free to add me to your circle/friend me and I will surely friend you back. Every kudos, bookmark and comment on Dreamwidth or AO3 or anywhere else is greatly appreciated. Also, I'm a pretty lonely person, so if you ever want to drop a note then I'm always around :)

Thanks for visiting!

Trying to write a drabble and it's like pulling teeth. Seriously, what is it with me and sticking to something 999 words or less? Every little idea spirals up to 2000-8000 words and it's just ridiculous. All I want to do is write an itty bitty drabble that is complete in and of itself.

Aaaand I am trying to upload gifs onto dreamwidth so I can do a nice little post and that's like pulling teeth too, days worth of it.

Ugh.

So here is a list of the stockings I've stuffed for the Mag7 Daybook holiday season. 6/6 Stockings! Excluding myself of course (though I am saving the Wild Card prompt on my hurt/comfort bingo card for that *smiles indulgently*). So I totally met my goal! And let me just say, I had a blast :)

Farad's Stocking - Drinking Buddies - Chris/Vin - OW
“You thinkin’ ‘bout whiskey again?”
Chris’ thoughts, however, were elsewhere.  

warqueenfuriosa's Stocking - so my soul's not left so hollow - Chris/Ezra + Vin - OW
Words were flung, punches thrown, yet that hollow feeling in the pit of Chris’ stomach at the haunted look in Ezra’s eyes… that was what nearly killed him. 

boogieshoes' Stocking - Strawberries & Cream (aka The Power of Love) - Chris/Buck + JD - ATF
Lucky for Buck, Chris didn’t forget the whipped cream or the strawberries.  

solosundance's Stocking - Entirely At Your Command - Chris/Ezra + Vin - OW
Chris had a whole long list of obsessions he’d never breathe a word of to anyone. Except… well, judging by the look on someone’s face, the object of his affections might already know and there wasn’t a damn thing Chris could do about it. 

randi2204's Stocking - Concussed - Chris/Ezra - Randi's Rockstar!AU
Ezra’s cranky as he nurses his concussion, but Chris will take him any way he can have him.
+
7 Rockstar!AU prompts:

1) Vin has writer's block and [insert other character here] helps him find his inspiration again.
2) Behind the Scenes footage from the Music Video gets leaked online.
3) Chris & Ezra come out as a couple and wind up on Good Good Morning with Mary again ('cause she totally supports aka 'ships' them!).
4) JD's guitar is smashed somehow (accident, intentionally, etc.) and Buck tries to cheer him up and/or does something about it.
5) Going on tour and being in such close quarters can wear on the boys sometimes.
6) There's an interesting story behind Josiah's sitar that only he and Nathan know, but Nathan definitely isn't telling. Unless....
7) Ezra tries his hand at singing, much to Buck's annoyance and/or anger, but at least Chris and Vin are cheering him on!

Deannie's Stocking - Big Brothers & Little Brothers - Buck & JD Gen + Ezra, Nathan - OW
Winter Fever has swept into Four Corners and despite Buck’s best efforts, the youngest of the seven has fallen prey to it.


Extra Goodies in the General Fandom Stocking

Oh, Christmas Tree -  All 7 Gen - OW
A Christmas without JD may break them, yet a Christmas tradition might just bring them together again. 

and my weak heart is swimming with devotion - Ezra/JD + All 7 - OW
Ezra loses his favored jacket, and he almost loses something else too.

So my writing life has sucked recently; I don't think I've ever been happy with it actually. I've been thinking about quitting for a long while now and more and more I just want to go through with it. Or at least write one or two things a year. Guess I'll just see what comes of it. 

So my assignment for spnspringfling was a bitch to write but it felt like a nice challenge and it came out pretty good. 

Happy and going to bed. 

I'm almost 8000 words in on my h/c_bingo card for the February Amnesty Challenge!

Can't believe I'm writing Ames/Alec (which I wrote last year), but oh well. So much FEELS with these two I can't even handle it. Seriously, the writing just flows from my fingers like nothing else. All the emotions and the pain and the angst. 

And GAH, the prompts: taking care of somebody, fever/delirium, deadline/time bomb and the wonderful Wild Card. 

Loving my writing life right now. 

Edit: 26000 words and done!


HERE!

I ended up creating 10 gifts for my first ever Fandom Stocking, 8 of which are fics and 2 of which are drabbles. I really wanted to stick to drabbles but I came across so many amazing prompts, and some of the requests even helped me branch out of the Supernatural fandom and write pairings that I thought I would never get up the guts to write. So really, I have to thank everyone I gifted 'cause I wrote some stuff I'm really proud of. 

Fic

Spineless - Supernatural - Dean/Gabriel - Gabriel tends to be pretty shy about his wings. 

Graceless/Bloodless - Supernatural - Dean/Gabriel - He's still Dean, just a different Dean. 

Damned - Supernatural - Casey/Bela - The rain always drew Casey to people. The right people too. 

You Could Be Happy (With Me) - Heroes - Nathan/Peter - He had built up so much and now, standing on the other side of the door, none of it mattered anymore. 

Where You End and I Start to Begin - Moonlight - Mick/Josef - With Josef it went past mere instinct, the animal in Mick was possessive but affectionate too, both he had to tamper down. Maybe it was the friendship between them, electrified to a thousand volts.

and we can still climb enough to save our souls - Bloodlines (Vampire Academy and Related Fandoms - Richelle Mead) - Sydney/Adrian + Rose/Dimitri - The horror would forever be at their backs, scarring their souls, but Adrian and Rose could move on with the love that healed what was left. 

There's Nothing I Wouldn't Do For You - Supernatural - Dean/Sam - Sam flipped back to the first page, adjusted the candle on the bedside table and started reading. (Also check out the translation into Russian by la_Distance)

Hide and Seek - Supernatural - Dean/Benny - He told himself he didn't need Benny's huge hands stroking over his back, the sharp scruff of Benny's chin against his cheek, the way Benny would carry him to bed if Dean was too tired to walk and would kiss him until he stopped feeling so self-conscious.

No. He didn't need any of those things, but he still went.  

...

Drabbles

All Yours - Supernatural - Sam/Dean - He found his brother at the full-length mirror, staring back at his reflection, fingers picking at the skin of his back. Sam could hardly hold back his excitement. 

Between the Seats - Supernatural - Dean/Impala - "You are trying to put me to sleep," he noted. 

This is just to help me keep track of all of the various fests, challenges, exchanges, bangs, etc. I've been in. Will be updated as needed, current challenges are in another post.
