the trick is to keep breathing

Of Things I Have Had To Deal With Today:

• ohio building code
• our USW union contract
• urinal pads
• ancient budget history
• $50K worth of pipe inspections
• an old push-cart toolbox
• my angry uterus
• 46 emails
• paper cups for water
• summit county contractor registration codes
• purchase requisitions

this is the kind of day where i sit here like, gee, i am so glad that i went through school to become an engineer, then grad school, then working through 12 years to be running this plant, so that i can deal with urinal pads and cup drama all day

So I haven't really been crossposting my work from the DOINK Chocobo Races -- I guess I should probably be posting it all over at brokenprism also, since I have been using that for years and like having a double archive in case something dies (since both LJ and AO3 are -- it's hard to imagine them not being there, but they've both had their issues in recent years, sadly; I'm not saying it's LIKELY but I'm mostly like OHGOD MY WORDS). But as I am lazy, today is not that day. Instead, here, have some links to fic I've written in the last couple months.

White (2395 words) by seventhe
Fandom: Final Fantasy IV
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Rydia, Asura (Final Fantasy IV)
Summary:

Rydia always thought she'd learn White Magic like her mother.

More meta from me - WHO IS SURPRISED - about Rydia's magic, and Asura. Will I ever get over my girlcrush on Asura? I AM NOT SURE.

Comfortable (922 words) by seventhe
Fandom: Final Fantasy V
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Bartz Klauser/Faris Scherwiz
Characters: Faris Scherwiz, Bartz Klauser
Summary:

Faris has never been comfortable wearing the White Mage crystal. The White Mages do something about it.

I really would like to spend some more time on this idea and fully explore transgender!Faris; MAYBE WITH INCEST? I mean what. I didn't write that. Anyway, this is like the doodle that inspires a fuller work. I think it would be really interesting to go deeper.

Fades to Red (5119 words) by seventhe
Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Rating: Explicit
Warning: Rape/Non-Con
Relationships: Celes Chere/Kefka Palazzo
Characters: Celes Chere, Kefka Palazzo
Summary:

Kefka asks Celes to help him with his research. He's only trying to help Terra, you know.

Warning: This is pretty legit noncon. It only qualifies as dubcon if you accept very dubious consent while under mind control. Just so you know, go in prepared, etc. Meant to be dark and creepy but of course I GOT META ALL OVER MY PORN so now I want to be like HEY EVERYBODY READ THIS except that definitely don't if consent is a must for you. It's cool, this is me taking the Fandom Hell Bus to the Shame Train. I'M NOT SORRY. I LIKE MAGIC!KINK OKAY.

So there you go - happy fun fic time. Chocobo Races have been fun -- we've gotten a lot more work than previous years and the Friending Meme has been a blast, for me anyway XD

This is mostly to remind you guys that sometimes I write things that are okay, so that when I start posting terrible Gundam Wing SHAME PORN this weekend no one mass defriends me.

And that was how we spent Saturday. >.>
