First of all, you guys all suck. I rarely do these things, and now two in two days. Sigh. Blame @farenmaddox, @artemis-73, @imaginaryprotagonist, and @friendofcarlotta
So I'm Valandra. 40+ lunatic of the female variety. I have the hair of a 90s skater boy, but with insane curls on top, a doberdoodle (yes, it's a real dog), adult children, and an awesome job.
I wrote an embarrassing amount of Twilight Fanfic, have been self- and trad-published, and enjoy the most deviant of DDDNE fics in the Destiel fandom, although I don't write them. Almost all my fics are HEA, and you can find them on my AO3 Author Page. I'm on Discord a lot as Valandra, but other than that don't really do social media.
The challenge? The last 10 fics I published with the first line. This outta be fun! I have a number of new fics coming up, including the CrossOver Bang (Aug 7th!), HorrorFest, and BangBang, plus working on a companion piece for Driving Sideways. There's more I'll be signing up for, too! Keep an eye out and subscribe to my author page for new fics as they post.
CURRENT WIP: Stull Prison Blues (E), posting on 1-2 times a week as I'm able. Thanks to @darcydelaney's BETA work, it's mostly readable :)
Stull Maximum Security Prison wasn’t what Dean had expected: there was no cat-calling, no arms reaching through bars, no kissy sounds, nothing like what he saw in movies.
Driving Sideways: Words: 39,338 (E) - Art by @witchy-worm
Dean roared as he jerked awake and yanked his arm away from the vice grip holding him down.
Angels of the Red Sand: Words: 29,256 (M) co-written with @bleuzombie - Art by @kisris
Dean burrows deeper into his pillow when Sam’s shrill alarm fills their shared room, slicing through his hungover brain like a jackhammer, with a serrated blade on the end, right next to a gong.
Darwin Never Tried This: Words: 10,757 (E) co-written with @bleuzombie - Art by @kayliemalinza
Dean’s boots landed heavy, sand flying behind him as he chased after the chupacabra.
Bette Davis Eyes: Words: 22,769 (E) - Art by @kingdumbass
I draw deeply on the last embers of my Chesterfield before stubbing it out, the acrid smoke waltzing in graceful curls toward the dingy plaster ceiling.
Cyborg Savior: Words: 79,674 (E) - Art by @squirrelofcelestialintent
Dean hoisted the tray above his head, weaving through the crowd at The Bunker, Cyn City’s most notorious club.
The Omega Classifieds: Words: 73,161 (E) - Art by Nootussy
Dean slapped The Omega Classifieds onto the worn kitchen table before hefting his too-light basket onto the counter.
Dean Winchester, Professional Cockwarmer: Words: 43,169 (E) - Art by @laili
As Castiel entered his too-large, too-cold home, a change in the air drifted toward him: apple orchards in full harvest and zesty citrus tinged with the slight bitterness of a spilled Old Fashioned.
The Sin Eater: Words: 113,906 (E)
Matthew 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.
Big Alpha Energy (BAE): Words: 100,977 (E) - Art by @sissyray84
Dean paced at the end of the alley before finally pulling up his fuckin’ big boy panties and walking down toward the unnamed, unnumbered door. Terror gripped him again when he saw the triskelion spray-painted discreetly on the brick wall above the black door.
---There are so many more I could list, 10 felt like so many, but, wow, I write a lot. But the plus side is now I get to go read everything ya'll listed and read them!---
---I wonder what it says that almost all my stories start with Dean's name... I should work on that...---
