[das-kabinett.livejournal.com]

Title: Storytelling
Author:das_kabinett/Becca
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Adult themes and menstruation, if that squicks anyone.
Fandom:Harry Potter
Prompt:Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.--Katherine Mansfield.
Summary:“Did,” she crooned, and pressed the heels of her hands into her ears, her elbows sticking up, frail and fragile like the wings of a downless little bird, “I told them everything. I didn't listen to their questions, I answered my questions, but I told them everything.”
Notes: This was strange for me to write, but good. Thank you Sar and Jocey for the beta and thank you gehayi for the chance to do this.

[nextian.livejournal.com]

TITLE: Ourobourous
AUTHOR: nextian
FANDOM: Euripides and Sophocles. Uh.
RATING: Let’s call it PG-13.
WARNING: Double character death, sacrifice, references to incest, blood, slight sexuality. In other words, your standard Greek play.
PROMPT: 48) Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.--Billie Holiday.
SUMMARY: Actually, these characters are public domain, but I did not make them up. Acceptance comes in different varieties.

( Antigone is well-qualified to die. )

Title: The Past Is Now Another Land
Author: sarmajere
Rating: PG
Fandom: Silmarillion/Lord of the Rings
Character: Artanis/Galadriel
Warnings: Mentions of blood and violence, angst
Prompt: 200) Nothing is ever simple. What do you do when you discover you like parts of the role you're trying to escape?--Marilyn French.
Summary: Warrior, Kinslayer, Queen. Some legacies cannot be intertwined, some pasts never recovered, some presents never reconciled, even for a legend. Title taken from Elton John and Tim Rice’s song in Aida of the same name which proved an inspiration for the story and has become one of my ultimate Noldor songs. This fic is slightly lotr in that it features a canon character, but unless you’re familiar with the Silm, you’re going to be quite confused.
