Fic of winter's past...

Thu, 25 Dec 2014 21:59:22 GMT

Have not, as of yet, written my usual holiday inspired fic, and pretty sure at this point, it isn't happening. But here's a perennial favourite, the first story I ever posted, back in 1996, which also happened to be a Christmas tale. So please join Methos and is 'Uncle' LaCroix as they remember, A Ghost of Winter's Past

And for something more modern, last year's You May Not Pass This Way Again, featuring the Starks, Tony and Howard, along with Walt Disney and Clark Gable.

A little ficlet

Thu, 13 Nov 2014 00:53:30 GMT

Attempting to start writing again, and this is the result:

Strange Women Lying in Ponds (and other things they never taught you in school)

It's set during the teaser scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron, that was released a few weeks back.

It's a start :)

'Circumstances' (01/01)

Thu, 20 Feb 2014 02:08:26 GMT

Summary: When Tony Stark's involved, there are always circumstances.

Notes: This is a gift fic for Strangevisitor7, who has had a crappy last few months, and had an even worse Friday.

It's a One Shot, an AU of an AU (of an AU?) (Is there such a thing?) and it exists in its own time-stream. It is not a part of any of my current series that you may or may not be familiar with—[points up] AU of AU (of an AU), right? It only exists to—hopefully—bring a smile to its recipient's face.

End of Year Recap: 2013

Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:17:25 GMT

And from the second part of 2013:

Rainbow Connection
Hulk likes tickles, and rain in the sunshine. Lightening is good too.
Fair Winds And Following Seas
Two very different women find they have more in common than they might have thought.
Vigil
Ezra watches over Tony as he recovers from open heart surgery.
Priorities
Tony knows what his priorities are.
Snow Angel
After Extremis, Pepper doesn't think she'll feel normal ever again.
You May Not Pass This Way Again
A chance meeting at a party, one man's dream versus another's, can change your future.
At The Edge Of Our Hope
This wasn't the Apocalypse Methos signed up for.

For 2013 as a whole, a lot of short pieces, but some longer ones interspersed. There was unexpected Hulk, Pacific Rim, and Walt Disney. A lot of closure, a lot of Tony, and Howard Stark finally makes an appearance on the page. The bonds of friendship and forgiveness held center stage, and as some doors closed, others were opened for this year's batch of stories -- God willing :D

Thank you to everyone who read, left comments, and played sounding board. You're the best!

End of Year Recap: 2013

Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:01:33 GMT

I wrote more in 2013 than I thought I did, both started during the year and finished during the year for the longer ones. From the first half of 2013:

Too Young For Heaven
Sometimes, the only way to escape the dark, and the demons that haunt you, is to have friends who refuse to let you fall.
And My Heart Was Colder When You'd Gone
Chris is ready to put the past behind him, but is Charlotte willing to step into the future with him?
'Til These Memories Are Pearls
After New York, Tony tries to pick up the pieces of the life he had before that day the Tesseract awoke.
If I Never Knew You
After Tony Stark's unexpected visit, Charlotte realizes she needs to take her own advice and confide her fears to Methos.
Riding Into the Sunrise
Methos and Tony resolve to control their destiny.
What's Rule Number One?
Tony has a lot to be grateful for - even if he did forget rule number one.
Equivocal Coalescence
Their whole world changed when Tony revealed he was Iron Man, but that wasn't nearly the end of it.
Green Tea
Bruce Banner is really, really mad. He is!

'At the Edge of Our Hope' (01/01)

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:17:25 GMT

Title: At The Edge Of Our Hope
Author: ithildin
Written for: merriman
Characters: Methos, Stacker Pentecost, Mako Mori, Amanda, Hercules Hansen, Raleigh Becket.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: No Highlander character death, but there is crossover character death.

Notes: I wrote Pacific Rim—go figure! It was totally not planned, the idea for the story popping into my head as I read my recipient's request post. Gen, crossover w/Pacific Rim, thanks to my beta and research assistant, ninjababe, for her invaluable help. This story follows the events of the film, with added background from the graphic novel via the Pacific Rim Wiki. Written for the Highlander Shortcuts Holiday Fic Exchange.

Summary: This wasn't the Apocalypse Methos signed up for.

At The Edge Of Our Hope

( RUST, IT CRAWLED UP NEARLY EVERY METAL SURFACE OF HONG KONG'S SHATTERDOME. You could smell it, mixed with the stink of the ocean's rot; decay, desperation, humanity's final curtain, waiting to fall. )

'You May Not Pass This Way Again' (01/01)

Tue, 31 Dec 2013 02:26:22 GMT

Title: You May Not Pass This Way Again
Fandoms: Iron Man/Marvel Movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, Highlander
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Tony Stark, Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, Walt Disney, Clark Gable, Charlotte Sparrow/Black
Notes: I've always said that the Jack Sparrow I write is the one from the end of the first movie, after he shoots Barbossa, the Jack with the façade stripped way. As this series as progressed, I began to realize that Charlotte's Jack isn't necessarily the exact one presented in the films. This is my explanation.
Summary: A chance meeting at a party, one man's dream versus another's, can change your future.

'Snow Angel' (01/01)

Fri, 27 Dec 2013 21:44:07 GMT

I actually managed to write a Christmas fic this year -- even if it is a few days late. This takes place right after 'What's Rule Number One?', set just after the end of Iron Man III.

Snow Angel
After Extremis, Pepper doesn't think she'll feel normal ever again.
