WIP meme & miscellaneous rambling, because I have reached one of those plateaus of boredom.

Point the First: I'm working on the Never Have I Ever challenge at kinkme_merlin, the goal of which is to fill prompts with pairings or kinks, or in media, which we have not done before. So at some point after the challenge is over and I de-anon there will be a sudden influx of Merlin-related content for you lovelies, most of it probably of a NSFW nature.

Point the Second: currently I am very bored. Also, unproductive.

[eta] Point the Third: I am also trying to unofficially do the ladiesbigbang, because it sounds awesome, with a fic in the Ruby 1.1 'verse. So far I haven't even started; the deadline is September 1 if I want to hope for a complement (art, fanmix, etc.) and October 1 if I don't. Um.

Point the Third Fourth: while poking through my entries I noticed I have a meme tag, so I wandered over to argylepiratewd's journal and stole another meme from her.

WIP MEME: post a little bit of each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.
(Note: some of these, especially the SGA ones, are, um, possibly abandoned. Do keep an eye out for the last-edited dates. I've introduced each snippet with the file name and the aforementioned date, and these are not actually all of my WsIP, just the ones that have quotable bits.)

"You're in My Blood Like Holy Wine" — Supernatural — Claire Novak, gen

fandom: Supernatural
rating: general audiences
characters/pairings: Claire Novak, others, gen
length: ~1300 words
content notices: mentions of (canonical) violence; reactions to canonical loss of family member. I feel like there’s something else, but I don’t know what it is or how to verbalize it.
summary: Not all of Claire’s memories of angels are nightmares.
notes: Claire, whose main experience with Castiel was in her own body, thinks of Cas as “she”; I apologize for any confusion. partly inspired by the vessel-angel connection mentioned in 5.03 “Free to Be You and Me” with regard to Claire’s experience. written for #04 (“Consent”) of the Women Are Awesome prompt table at hooked_on_heroines. title from Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You”: “Surely you touched m[y soul] / ’cause part of you pours out of me… / Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine, / you taste so bitter and so sweet…”
