Title: stretched to the point of no turning back
Author: framlingem
Rating: PG (language)
Genre: Gen, drama.
Word Count: ~2200
Summary: "An Introduction to Practical Astronautics" is a mandatory courseset for Starfleet cadets. For McCoy, it's terrifying.
Notes: The title is from Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly", and this is the second in that series, a companion to Gaila's a dream unthreatened by the morning light. The children's book which I've quoted from is "Moondance", by Frank Asch, and you can hear the whole thing (complete with rumbly voice) read by the author on youtube.

Title: Pressure and Heat
Author: framlingem
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG-13 (Rated for violence and attempted rape)

Summary: On Orion, Gaila learns that there are different kinds of stone.

( She is twelve the first time she sees the great courtyard of the palace; twelve and gawky, with a hint of grace. )

Title: He Could Smell the Flowers of Bermuda in the Gale
Author: framlingem
Characters: George Kirk, Winona Kirk, Christopher Pike, OC.
Rating: G
Genre: Gen, I suppose. There's a fade-to-black! Nothing uncanon.
Summary: After the destruction of the Kelvin, Starfleet sends out a survey crew, because some things are important.
Notes/Warnings: With apologies to Stan Rogers for stealing some of the words and imagery from his song, "The Flowers of Bermuda", which you can hear here, as sung by Heather Dale. I'm very, very new to Trek fandom, and only found out that Jim Kirk had an older brother after I knew I wanted to write this, so this has him as the oldest.

( Someday,” he says earnestly, “someday, Winona, when I'm a captain... )

I am posting this here because I don't _think_ I ever posted it in my actual LJ, which seems a bit of a shame. It's one of my earlier HP fics. Rated PG for language - contains the most explicit sex I've ever written, which is to say there is a mention at one point that sex was had. It has my standard theme of redemption and a bit of hope. It's one of my favourite things of what I've written - I haven't read it in over a year, and upon reposting it here I couldn't find a thing I wanted to change or rephrase. It was one of those stories which just worked from the beginning and was written all in a rush. It's in my preferred prose style of being more of a sketch than a painting, something I try to carry through in my poetry. (I've said that some poetry is very beautiful, but like being whacked repeatedly over the head with the Sistine Chapel :p I try to avoid that.)

For my HP Shakespeare-fic (whose idea was that again?), I have figured out most of the character parallels; it was difficult as everyone needed two, one for comedy and one for tragedy. I'm quite pleased with my choices, though I did cheat a bit by making someone The Prologue in the comedy (but it fits with his tragic role, really), and the comedy section relies heavily on Much Ado About Nothing... but it really does fit them all. I'm particularly proud of who I found for Lily. I'm going to have to reread the play to double-check, but having to read Shakespeare is hardly a bad thing. Definitely have to reread Much Ado, too - the others, I have ways of working the parallels into the dialogue (e.g. "You just made an arse of yourself" - see if you can figure out which Shakespeare character I'm referring to there! Hints: comedy, think of 'ass' in both its meanings. Duh.), but Dogberry? Not a clue.

But oh, how I love the scene I've got written already, with tragedy and betrayal and all that good stuff. And I like the title, too, "Merely Players", because there seems to me to have been very little choice left in the Harry Potter 'verse. Gotta think up some snappy dialogue for James and Lily, though, because their paralells were nothing if not snappy and deliciously sardonic.

( slight spoiler. As if you care. Shush, I'm enthusing. )

It is so good to feel this enthusiastic about something.

And now for something completely different. I have suddenly developed a taste for Journey, and am in love with Steve Perry's voice. I realise I am about twenty years behind (nearly twenty-two, I suppose, the song I listened to before this one was written in the year I was born!), but I don't mind. Maybe I'm finally moving out of the seventies... nah. Pink Floyd and Yes Forever. Still, though, it's a bit more modern. I'll be listening to manufactured pop hiphop any decade now... or maybe not.

Title: "House with Hydrangea"
Author: Framling
Time period: 1981, summer
Pairing: Remus/Sirius.
Genre: Sap. I think I finally managed to write sap.
Rating: G
Summary: "We were going to buy that house in Dorset that you fell in love with, near Hengisbury Head, with those massive hydrangea in the garden. We were going to have a budgie. I was going to name him Eric! I remember, Remus." - From Wanting More. This is the house in question, and can be read as a prequel to "Wanting More".
Notes: Dedicated to darcedor, and to my Gran, who used to own the house in question.

( Remus, this is ridiculous. I can't see you. )
