Collected rainbowfic

[thisbluespirit]

I was thinking I probably had done 2 or 3 rainbowfic entries since the last time I linked to any here, and then it turned out I had failed to link since November. Oh, well... I'll try to be more timely in future! These are mostly more character vignettes for the Acanthus prompt set (even an actual 'main' canon entry or two! Charles! Arran! *dies of shock*), but also a couple of random Edward/Julia bits & pieces.

Dropping the Baton (PG, 1117 words. 1956, 1959, 1988; Ronald Whittaker, Julia Graves, Edward Iveson, Charles Terrell.) Ron is the missing link in the chain, more times than one.

Pins & Needles (PG, 932 words. 1924, 1937, 1949: Isabel Andrews/Nancy Long.) It takes some time for Isabel to find herself.

Across the Wires (PG, 1141 words. 1944, 1959; Charles Terrell, Edward Iveson, Ron Whittaker, Liz Cardew.) There are wires that run right through the centre of Charles’s life, linking things together across the years.

Return of the King (Teen, 676 words. 1964, 1984, 1991: Michael Seaton | Arran, Anna, Thomas Hallam.) Some days Michael Seaton is just a fiery blade waiting to come down on the Dictator Hallam’s head.


Truth in Disguise (PG, 398 words. Edward Iveson/Julia Graves. Magic AU.) They should never have done this, but he wasn’t anything like as sorry as he should have been.

Aftershock (PG, 1355 words. Edward Iveson/Julia Graves.)

Oh, I am weak for magic AUs <3 That was very nice! I'm very impressed by all your original fiction. Is there anything you're not extremely good at writing??? I guess we'll never know!

[thisbluespirit]

Aww, thanks! And you are very sweet, but there are plenty of things I'm not good at writing at all! And that's in addition to the ME where my words don't even come out in the right order some days. ♥

(I am terrible at descriptive passages, for starters and there are reasons I never attempt pr0n!!)

And that's in addition to the ME where my words don't even come out in the right order some days.

Ugh, it's so frustrating when words won't work properly!

(I am terrible at descriptive passages, for starters and there are reasons I never attempt pr0n!!)

Same here!

[thisbluespirit]

I was writing yesterday and I had swapped round all kinds of random words! Usually it's only set 'connected' words that swap over! I must have been worse than I thought. :-/

(Hopefully editing will solve all...)

Same here!

[theseatheseatheopensea]

What are words anyway? Thank goodness for editing......

*shares pr0nles fistbump of solidarity*

pr0n is overrated, I tell myself in vain.

*writes intense hand holding instead*

Yay! Clearly fic involving James Maxwell!! \o/

(He went in for excessive hand-holding throughout his career; it is a great joy to me, sorry. :lol:)

[theseatheseatheopensea]

A wise, wise man, indeed! *salutes*

Excessive hand-holding is very underrated, if you ask me.

:-D











(And I don't even seem to have my gifs of some of the most random/excessive bits any more, either. For which you may be grateful! Also the man has a terrible attraction for fake facial hair, so it's all swings and roundabouts. :-D)

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Oh, nice! One can never have too much intense and excessive hand-holding! <3 As for the fake facial hair, I've definitely seen worse, and the hand-holding certainly makes up for it! It's a true art form, it is!
