sisterdivinium: eva reading a book on lethal mushrooms bibi stole from the library (eva garvey)
[personal profile] sisterdivinium posting in [community profile] halfamoon
Title + link: loved in shades of wrong
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] atlantisairlock
Fandom: Bad Sisters
Characters/Pairing: Bibi Garvey/Eva Garvey
Length: 5153 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Sister/sister incest, unhealthy relationships.
Summary: Bibi and Eva, and five times they kiss, throughout the years.

Reccer's notes: I could probably recommend everything the author has written for this fandom, but if I had to choose only one story of those posted up until now this might be it for me (the size of my comment below it might be proof enough, as well as the public bookmark I made of it). There's a lot that can be said about this fic and if we're talking needs then I think it fits in well with the theme given how these two clearly need one another so much that they're willing to put aside societal expectations and even some common sense, at times, to fulfil that primal necessity for one another. It hurts them, it hurts people around them, but in truth it is denying that evident need in one way or another that leads to those negative consequences, not the need in itself. The fact that this is all explored within a frame that is both respectful of canon and reinvents it at the same time makes it all the more riveting as one can see what has been left the same and what was altered to the best effect in drawing Bibi and Eva so much closer to one another.

Day 4 Theme - Needs

Today's theme is Needs.

Here are a few ideas to get you started: Even if one of your favorite characters is an action hero, she still has basic needs that has to be met. Food, shelter, the need for companionship, the need for intimacy, the need to be alone. How does she make sure that her needs are fulfilled? Does she have a hard time asking for help? Does she have an unusual reaction to getting something that she didn't even realize that she needed?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list in the pinned post at the top of the page. Please don't post until that day.

Title: Kindness is a choice
Fandom: Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Character: Lace Harding & Female Rook Mercar
Prompt: The Caregiver
Rating/Category: T/Gen
Summary: Lace takes the Titans' pain and she answers with kindness and compassion.

Kindness is a choice
She feels this anger, that is and isn't hers. It's in her blood and her bones, this ancestral pain, reasons forgotten but injustice still so keenly felt. All there's left of the Titans is this pain, loud, incoherent, overwhelming, threatening to overtake her. She's only a voice for this anger so long unheard, she's only…

“You're Lace Harding! You're more than this rage!” Rook's voice just barely cuts through the screaming. “You believe that the world is beautiful! That people are good! Hold on to it! Hold on to who you are!”

And it means something that it's Rook telling her this, because she doesn't believe that, because she spent most of her life in Tevinter and saw enough to mistrust even the people who say they want to help. When Lace met her, she was all anger and pain, not for herself, but for every slave in Tevinter. Anger over the injustices that someone else suffered, that she felt that she couldn't do enough to stop. But Lace couldn't help her by agreeing with her anger, as justified as it might have been. And she couldn't meet the Shade's anger with more anger now.

She reached out to the red lyrics given shape and voice, her face staring back at her in anger, and she wants to give in to it too, but she knows better. She meets the Shade not with rage but with compassion, because this is who she is, who she's always been, but kindness is a choice and it's one that she has to keep making, even when it's hard, even when it hurts.

She takes all that pain, and she offers them kindness and compassion. This might not be enough to heal what's left of the Titans, but she hopes it eases their pain.

Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

A whole host of DNW

Today was fine and the writer's virtual meet up on Discord was fire but there was some really unpleaasant things today

For one, it snowed nearly 10 straight hours. There was so much salt on the roads that it wasn't sticking there much but we did get a few more inches. It was a gentle snow though, so very pretty.

But right before my afternoon class started, I thought I heard my phone in my office but I was down the hall talking to a coworker. I didn't have time to look at it. By the time class was over and I got home it was nearly 5. I saw there was a message on my land line phone. It was this collection agency that didn't autofill the name or the case number and I did call them a couple weeks ago when they did that and there was no viable phone number. I doubt it's for me but I DO want to know what it is.

But also on there was a call from my bank. Turns out they called my cell too. It's a real phone for my bank. My bank called BOTH my phones. OMG. WHY? We all know that it's not for anything good and I have to wait until tomorrow to ask after it. God I hope I wasn't cleaned out by a hacker.

Then just before seven I hear a metallic noise outside. I figured it was the blade of a plow. But as I'm talking to my parents a half hour later I check my cell to see if they canceled tomorrow. Turns out that was a crash where my road meets the highway and I'm cut off. I didn't see anything so I'm assuming it's opened now. DOn't know if anyone was hurt.

I did put in for money for my work con. I could go to that Mexican all inclusive I went to last year for two weeks for what this costs. Sigh. And I guess I'm to pay for an uber to get from the airport tp the con hotel but it's like 24 miles and no one has a shuttle. When I put in for a shuttle it said it was 385 and showed and SUV. I checked renting a car and it was the same cost so I'm assuming if I want to get there I have to rent a car or pay for uber (which I've never done since we don't have any here)

Such a weird day.

ineffablecabbage: Percy holding his pen (Percy Jackson)
[personal profile] ineffablecabbage posting in [community profile] halfamoon
Title: see the good things that you see
Day/Prompt: Day 3: The Caregiver
Fandom: Percy Jackson
Character/Pairing:  Amphitrite/Sally Jackson 
Rating/Warning(s): General Audiences
Word Count: 6369
Summary"Women who sleep with gods don’t make it out alive. Sally knows this. “I understand if you want to kill me,” she states. “But my son hasn’t done anything to deserve your anger. He’s just a baby. It’s not his fault that I slept with Poseidon.”"

Sally Jackson acquires a roommate, who may or may not be the wife of her son's father.
 
 
Reccer's Notes: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. This  everything I love in a good remix of Greek goddesses. The Amphitrite is not the Amphitrite in the book series, which the author warns for - nor is the Poseidon (he's closer to his mythological counterpart) - but it's a very lovely what-if. A very good way to pick up these characters, shake them, throw them onto the Yahtzee board, and see how they might have mixed together in a different way, in a way that prioritized their lives over The Big Three. Sally and Amphitrite are both The Caregivers here, and that theme is repeated.
