astolat's livejournal

I pretty much exclusively use this lj for posting fannish work and glee. Lots of my fannish writing is explicit, and I often don't post content warnings, so be aware before you read. I don't post that regularly, mostly just when I have something new to share, and I don't post locked, so I don't friend back -- I don't like filtering, so my flist is just what I'm reading right at this moment in time.

You don't have to ask to friend or defriend my journal, or to link to anything I post, or to crit my stuff, or to make sequels/podfics/fanart/whatever based on it, etc. As long as credit is given, you don't need my permission.

I WOULD especially love it if you post your work on the Archive of Our Own (http://ao3.org) and cite my original story as a related work there, because then I can easily link back to you from the original story. :D

If you make a translation/remix/etc of one of my things and don't have an AO3 account, I have invites, just PM me your email address for one, and if it's for one of my stories that isn't on the AO3 yet, let me know and I'll put it up so you can link it.

Gagging (1465 words)
Loki/Thor, adult, explicit
major consent issues! spoilers for the movie!

Loki steps back to admire his handiwork, and summons witchlights to play golden light over Thor's body as he retreats to his bed across the room, reflecting off the golden bindings, off the shining metal of the gag.

Two updates for the price of one! Coincidentally both Clint POV. :)

I wrote a tiny Clint/(Loki) vignette fill for a kinkmeme prompt in case that is relevant to your interests -- spoilers for the movie here:
Same (Clint/Loki, explicit, adult, mind control issues)

And new chapter is up:

Revelations, Chapter 12: Clint
"What the hell," Clint said, under his breath. He wasn't sure what part of this was more horrifying: the idea that the Hulk could just pop out whenever he wanted, or the Hulk being on Loki's side under any circumstances whatsoever. What had happened down there?

Also to answer a few questions from the comments, the original POV character from the last chapter was Natasha, but no outtakes as I will be cannibalizing them for a later chapter. ;)

Sorry for the wait after the cliffhanger! I had this one almost ready to go and then I realized I was totally in the wrong POV and this needed to be Bruce instead. :D

Revelations, Chapter 11: Bruce
It felt like a grad school headache coming, like he'd been in the lab for four days straight forgetting to sleep or eat.

Possibly not all that surprisingly, Loki would just not shut up, so here! Have a 6000 word chapter! :P


Revelations, Chapter 9: Loki
Laufey laughed. "Loki, son of Laufey," he said, the chant echoing like death bells from the passageway. "Loki, son of Laufey, son of Utgard-Loki, son of Mimir the Wise, son of Bolthorn, son of Ymir Firstborn, of whom are all our kings descended: what questions would you ask me, here in the realm of the dead?"

FYI, am turning off anon commenting on my LJ due to the spam that's been going for weeks now without stopping, and since there isn't even a way to report it to LJ anymore, I can't see any reason to expect it to stop.

Anon comments are still enabled (screened) on my Dreamwidth journal!

whee!

"OK," Hulk says. Thor nice. "Where Thor?"

"In the land of the dead," Loki says. "That's where we're going."

omg! heaps of fun and I am feeling super fannishly charged up! \o/ so instead of review, here, have a WIP if you like (no spoilers for the movie exactly but it takes place in the movie canon, some time afterwards).

Also the relationships/characters are just my best guess at the moment and subject to change. :P

happy birthday to me! <3 thank you all for the wishes, it has been an awesome day of Bronx Zooing with baby and cesperanza and julad and kaneko and then happymaking birthday dinner with C.

sadly, while I had ambitions of getting a story posted today, it did not happen. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE the story did get to the point just before the fun sexytimes begin so I am on the downhill slope! \?/ and maybe I will manage to get it done this week!

On the OTHER bright side I did get in the giant commit of mail batching and stats, and am almost done with a bunch of open doors tools.

And now I am going to go fall over into bed. I am super exciting these days, I realize.

I am clearing out a pile of baby stuff -- most of it is going to good homes, but I have a really great Medela breast pump that is going unclaimed. Anyone out there want it or know someone who would? Drop me an email at astolat at livejournal dot com and I am happy to ship it anywhere in the US, first come! -- claimed!


AO3 hits meme!
( top ten )

Sadly my list is not super interesting -- these plus stories #11 and #12 are just the ones that I posted first/primarily to the AO3 (as opposed to backing up to the AO3), and I haven't been posting enough lately to turn that into anything of a real horse race, alas! But still fun to post this now and have it to look back on whenever I am able to start posting more again. :D

Summary:

Hawke traded ribald jokes with pirate queens and dwarven storytellers in taverns, and then in a dark hall at night looked an escaped and hunted slave in the eyes straight-on and asked him to his bed, softly, as if afraid to be refused; as if Fenris might have some power in this, over him.

With heaps of thanks to lim! ♥
