Title: Faded

Prompt: sacrifice & pickle at writerverse
Word Count: 533
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Steve, Maria
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con etc): angst, mentioned character death

( ...he's afraid of forgetting her voice... )

How did I not know how this existed?

I used a non-Vevo channel in the hopes that it can be seen by more people. This really hit me in the heart, fitting right in with what I'm writing right now.



Aftermath (by Lifehouse)

We have kept a light on through the trouble
Treaded water in a sea of tears
Now I'm shooting arrows across your night sky
Trying to land in your atmosphere

If we can make it through this storm
And become who we were before
Promise me we'll never look back
The worst is far behind us now
We'll make it out of here somehow
Meet me in the aftermath
Oh, meet me in the aftermath

There's so much more to life than all of the hours
Moments that just slid beneath our feet
In the times that we put it all on the table
And help feels too far beyond our reach

If we can make it through this storm
And become who we were before
Promise me we'll never look back
The worst is far behind us now
We'll make it out of here somehow
Meet me in the aftermath
Oh, meet me in the aftermath

An Alternate Avengers



This is one of those videos that I wish was LONGER! Unfortunately, you eventually run out of clips to use so it can only be so long. Still, this is a pretty sweet little fanvid!

Also something fun I found but keep forgetting to post:



As far as I can tell, this is from nicarrotrhythms on Tumblr. The creator? I don't know.

Some icons I've made:

OH EM GEE!

Have you seen this?

You need to see this!

(Incidently, I'm trying to get this link to work for Gersberms but it keeps going to the puppet one... which I haven't watched yet. I really want you to watch the Gersberms video but feel free to watch both! You can change it by hitting playlist down in the left hand corner.)

Tonight, I didn't feel like writing anything in the Streetlight People 'verse. I'm getting to a hook which means that I'm fighting the words. At least I know that it's a THING I do and I'm not scared that there are no more words. I just wish that I would quit fighting. You know?

So there was a NaNo help post at be_compromised tonight and hufflepuffsneak gave someone else a prompt idea of Darcy taking over the world... and this is what came out of my head. It gave me a decent word count for the day (because I didn't really start writing until after 7pm because I'm lazy that way) but it's not really done. I don't know if it will ever be done. What do you think?

Title: Darcy Takes Over the World
Characters: Steve, Darcy (headed toward Steve/Darcy)

( On the morning that Darcy took over the world... )

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

-John McCrae
