The Game: Recommend 5 of your own works and then tag others to do the same. 

(Tagging @isaidquirky, @swashbucklery @thra-ce and anyone else who wants to do it, and if you don’t that's okay, too! )

This is not a great game for me because I tend to think that some of my better writing exists in my works in progress, but I can't in good conscience recommend those, so here are five stories that I think hold up okay! (lol) They're all fairly short.

in no particular order:

The Truth the Dead Know An absolutely ancient Yuletide fic where I pair up Holden Caulfied and James Dean? More likely than you think! This may be my only story in first person pov, and I think I do well enough aping Salinger's Holden voice.

So Much More Than That A Mean Girls fic set post-movie. Regina George pov that I think works with a Regina that is both a version of herself from the movie, and the result of what happened to her after her accident. Regina/Cady.

Went and saw Chinese American Bear at the Echoplex last night and had a blast (and, par for the course, took a horribly bad video). Bright, danceable, high-energy show. Just a really good time.

Digna and Marta talk about Tasio’s behavior and as they are talking Digna mentions Tasio putting his lover to work in the store. She pivots by saying, “Speaking of, Bianca called.” She tells Marta to pass on the message to Fina. Digna is so cold-blooded sometimes; I cackled. Before they can discuss it further, however, Tasio walks in and announces he is leaving the casa grande for good.

Fina is at the cantina, going over prints, when Chacracore Barbie(TM) herself walks in. She just happens to be doing work stuff in Madrid, she says, and how could she be so close and not see Fina in person? Fina is flabbergasted, and happy to see her. She says so. She was wanting to see her again. Does it bother her that she showed up like that? Not at all. She says she’s sorry about doing things over the phone, and CB says she understands, and she’s sorry for the yelling and the hanging up, etc. I’ll admit, the actress is much better than our previous problem, and she and Alba have a nice rapport.

In the preview, Fina tells Marta CB is in Spain. She says she wants to explain why she ended things the way she did (although it feels like she already did? ??). Marta reminds her that she had showed up in Toledo only to close out her story with Marta…

Marta tells Claudia about the perfumes and Tasio’s role in their new, synthetic ingredient. Paula overhears. Digna picks up the phone in the casa grande and, surprise, the raw milk advocate has a voice !

In the preview, the woman in question shows up in Toledo, in the flesh! !!
