idea_of_sarcasm - The Right Path Might Be the One....[Christin

[idea-of-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Title: The Right Path Might Be the One Previously Travelled
Author: idea_of_sarcasm
Fandom: Star Trek (2009)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Implied death of a non-canon character
Prompt: It's not bad to say: My work is not what I really want, I'm capable of doing something bigger. Or I'm a person who needs love, and I'm doing without it. What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is the first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better. -- Doris Lessing (born October 22, 1919), Nobel-prize-winning Zimbabwean-British author. She is the oldest person to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. She has been given the Order of the Companions of Honour (established for outstanding achievements in the arts, literature, music, science, politics, industry or religion) and the Order of the British Empire.
Summary: It's not that Christine doesn't like her life, it's not that it's not a worthy one, but in little flashes she is coming to realize that it's not for her
Author's Notes: Star Trek fic scares me; that being said, this idea bit me and wouldn't let go. There are a few small nods to TOS canon.

tania_sings-Secondary Heroine-Montalais (Three Musketeers) - rated PG

[tania-sings.livejournal.com]

Title: Secondary Heroine
Author: tania_sings
Fandom: Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers Series
Rating: PG
Warnings: Seriously obscure character from a seriously obscure fandom. Does that need a warning?
Prompt: 50) I have begun to feel/ That it is dreams, not reality,/On which I can rely. -- Ono no Komachi(c. 825 — c. 900), 9th-century Japanese poet.
Summary: Perhaps it was one the great ironies of Montalais' life; she was never weak enough to be powerful. Still, one last try.
Author's Notes: Aside from the prompt, all quotes belong to Dumas. Also, props to my hubby for the editing job; it's HARD to find a beta in this fandom!
