  <title>Teen Wolf Fic: Pretty Much a Big Deal</title>
  <link>http://dira.dreamwidth.org/659221.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/838326&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pretty Much a Big Deal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (3393 words) by &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/users/dsudis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dira Sudis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapters: 1/1&lt;br /&gt;Fandom: &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Teen%20Wolf%20(TV)&quot;&gt;Teen Wolf (TV)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rating: Explicit&lt;br /&gt;Warnings: Underage&lt;br /&gt;Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski&lt;br /&gt;Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski&lt;br /&gt;Additional Tags: Trauma, Erectile Dysfunction, Past Sexual Assault&lt;br /&gt;Summary: &lt;p&gt;Written for &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://badsexfest.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[livejournal.com profile] &apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://badsexfest.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;badsexfest&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Derek has trouble getting and maintaining an erection. Can be funny, or angsty if you want to tie it to his past with Kate. Or both! I like a nice mix of humor and angst. Whether there&apos;s a happy ending (lol no pun intended) is up to the filler(s).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;...Yeah, I went the trauma route. Brace for Derek&apos;s horrible sexual history and long-term trauma. And a happy ending!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=659221&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Generation Kill wolf-verse Iraq story: 80,056 words&lt;br /&gt;Scenes to go in Act IV: TWO.&lt;br /&gt;Acts after this one: ONE.&lt;br /&gt;Things left to happen from the miniseries: ZERO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Which means I&apos;m back to writing &lt;em&gt;One Bullet Away&lt;/em&gt; fic, but the point is WE ARE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO THE END NOW AND THE STORY IS STILL APPROXIMATELY ON TARGET FOR THE LENGTH I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=659119&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Unless you would like to talk about those things in comments THEN WE CAN TOTALLY TALK IN COMMENTS.

  <title>WisCon!</title>
  <link>http://dira.dreamwidth.org/658075.html</link>
  <description>1. I went! I was on panels and everything! Check out &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23queeringtext&amp;amp;src=typd&quot;&gt;#QueeringText&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23usingtumblr&amp;amp;src=typd&quot;&gt;#UsingTumblr&lt;/a&gt; for the upshots of the ones I was on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The other upshot of the Queering the Text panel: I may or may not have said I would write fic where Stiles wakes up as a girl in the same body she went to sleep in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Saturday night I got unexpectedly fantastically drunk on the homebrew at the--uh, I have no idea which party that was. But their hard cider was really great! And then I vaguely recall being down in the lobby having a lot of feelings about &lt;em&gt;The Hockey Sweater&lt;/em&gt;, wolf puppies, and Commodore Jole and his sailboat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I felt like I was going to throw up, and &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;iulia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; took me upstairs and very patiently shepherded me through not throwing up, getting into jammies, hydrating, getting into bed, and so on. She even plugged in my phone, you guys. She&apos;s the greatest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I should probably mention that a bit earlier on Saturday night we watched the hockey game together and in the course of pretending to punch Iulia in the face for celebrating a Chicago goal I came perilously close to actually punching her in the face. /o\&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Further annals of marriedness: Iulia and I wore matching jerseys all day Saturday (Red Wings, Lidstrom and Yzerman) and Sunday (Blackhawks, Toews and Kowalski). People were confused when we no longer matched on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. We roomed with &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://fairestcat.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://fairestcat.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;fairestcat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://commodorified.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://commodorified.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;commodorified&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, both of whom put more effort into clothes and makeup for any given evening of parties than I put into clothes and makeup for an entire year, which was fascinating to watch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Cat and Marna were both on the panel I got up early enough to go to on Sunday morning after being magnificently drunk Saturday night: &lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/658075.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;What We Write About When We Write About Rape&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Haiku earring party! I wrote and Iulia betaed a haiku to earn Iulia a pair of earrings (I don&apos;t wear earrings but like writing haiku; Iulia likes earrings but is not always into writing haiku, so the division of labor works out well.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Viiiiid paaaaarty! Which was awesome and full of vids and fangirls and also just made me pine for VividCon. Can it be time for VividCon &lt;em&gt;right now&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Sunday night turned into lots of fangirls on the floor in somebody&apos;s hotel room, passing around whatever drinks people had left at that point in the con (Fruit Loops vodka made an appearance), which is always pretty much my favorite part of any con. &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=658075&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Teen Wolf Fic: Finding</title>
  <link>http://dira.dreamwidth.org/657060.html</link>
  <description>I meant to write a sequel to &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/555239&quot;&gt;Being Found&lt;/a&gt; almost before I actually wrote it. It just... took me a while to follow through. But here it is! More cuddles! More porn!

  <description>So &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;iulia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I had been drinking, and I said I wanted to write something for &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://fan-flashworks.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png&apos; alt=&apos;[community profile] &apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://fan-flashworks.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;fan_flashworks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, something that I could start and then finish while I still remembered starting it, but it was an Amnesty challenge just now and I didn&apos;t know how to choose or what to write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Open Tumblr,&quot; she said, &quot;and write a story based on the first Teen Wolf gifset you find.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wound up disqualifying a couple of them (I didn&apos;t want to write fic about Finstock and Greenberg, &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://www.archiveofourown.org/users/lemonyfresh/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico&apos; alt=&apos;[archiveofourown.org profile] &apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://www.archiveofourown.org/users/lemonyfresh/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lemonyfresh&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/761084&quot;&gt;has that covered&lt;/a&gt;) and landed on &lt;a href=&quot;http://jerakeenc.tumblr.com/post/48438809357/ugh-a-more-surprising-and-interesting-development&quot;&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Oh,&quot; I said, after considering for about a minute, &quot;can I write fic for the Games challenge where they play truth or dare and it doesn&apos;t hurt?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is what I did. Give or take the Mountain Dew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS If you have a hankering to write short fic to prompts but not on a kinkmeme or tumblr or whathaveyou, try out &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://fan-flashworks.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png&apos; alt=&apos;[community profile] &apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://fan-flashworks.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;fan_flashworks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;! It&apos;s an Amnesty challenge until May 1, so you can pretty much roll your own, and if you tell &apos;em I sent you I get a toaster badge! :D You know you want to! The first one&apos;s free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahem. Anyway. Fic! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derek/Stiles. Not explicit. 2700 words. Trust issues and Mountain Dew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;When Stiles said, &quot;Hey, let&apos;s play truth or dare,&quot; Derek swallowed the anticipation of pain and humiliation and said, &quot;Okay.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fan-flashworks.dreamwidth.org/163502.html&quot;&gt;Truth or Dare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=655669&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>AO3 hits meme</title>
  <link>http://dira.dreamwidth.org/655181.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s that time of year again, when I resurrect this meme for annual-comparison purposes. Last year and the year before I posted about &lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/613217.html&quot;&gt;my top ten stories on the AO3 by hits&lt;/a&gt; and here&apos;s this year&apos;s list:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/655181.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Oh look, it&apos;s a lot of Teen Wolf.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my top ten is 70% Teen Wolf, and eight stories from last year were knocked out by stories from this year; I would blame this entirely on Teen Wolf, but last year I had six stories knocked out by new ones, so it&apos;s not actually totally unprecedented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, though. Writing a juggernaut pairing in a juggernaut fandom: o.O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=655181&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Because I am a sucker for memes.

And thanks also to everyone who draws wolf!Derek art, you were a constant source of inspiration. &amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story is being posted in parts, but I should be posting every day until it&apos;s done (six days), and the parts are averaging a bit over 15,000 words. Tags and rating apply to the complete story, so not all of those warnings are for things happening in the first part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to PM/email/message me about content, I am happy to give specific warnings!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=653423&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>I have the least mysterious subconscious I&apos;ve ever heard of.</title>
  <link>http://dira.dreamwidth.org/652871.html</link>
  <description>A couple of weeks ago I went running for the first time in a couple of months (I run outside, so ice and cold and snow are serious deterrents and, yeah, next year maybe a gym membership for the winter) and ... I didn&apos;t actually do anything I could perceive, I just came up lame all of a sudden, and after that my foot hurt to even walk on for several days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first or second night after it happened, I had a dream about taking a long bicycle trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, thank you subconscious, &lt;em&gt;I have cracked your code&lt;/em&gt;. Maybe it &lt;em&gt;would&lt;/em&gt; be better to take up a non-impact activity at least temporarily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I spent a lot of time staring at my Generation Kill wolf-verse Iraq story, which I had skipped out of working on for a few days in favor of scribbling away at Teen Wolf kidfic. I also spent some time talking (whining) to the very patient &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://petra.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://petra.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;petra&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;iulia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; about how much I didn&apos;t want to work on the Iraq story and how I knew I needed to finish it and how I was grimly determined but wahhhhhhhh. Etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, I dreamed I was re-enlisting in the Marines, complete with two dude Marines following me up to the table to sign both leering at me and joking (I felt coolly superior to them, as I outranked them, which they would realize once we were all back in uniform) and standing tall at attention, determined to show no fear, while a bored officer warned me that there was a fifty percent chance the gas mask drill I had to do as part of the fitness test for re-enlisting would involve actual gas of some kind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, subconscious. I GET IT. I&apos;m going to do this, and I&apos;m going to do it well, even if parts of it suck and hurt. YES. OKAY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=652871&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Vorkosigan Fic: Dance Across the Room</title>
  <link>http://dira.dreamwidth.org/652523.html</link>
  <description>Soooo I first started this one--intending that it should have a bit of a plot woven into the porn--sometime around December. Of 2010. It&apos;s been a bit of a thorn in my paw as I&apos;ve gone forward with the series (and I&apos;ve abandoned it at least twice only to pick it back up). So now it&apos;s done! And a PWP! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is, more or less, the eighth story in the internal chronology of &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/series/4569&quot;&gt;The World That You Need&lt;/a&gt;, though the (ye gods) tenth posted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many thanks to &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://ellen-fremedon.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://ellen-fremedon.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;ellen_fremedon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for beta, and to &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iulia.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;iulia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://oliviacirce.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://oliviacirce.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;oliviacirce&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://rubynye.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[livejournal.com profile] &apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://rubynye.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;rubynye&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and the other usual suspects for encouragement!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aral/Jole, (Aral/Cordelia). Explicit. Sex toys. 5500 words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;I&apos;ve never really seen the point. I mean, sex is already fun. It&apos;s sex. I don&apos;t know what you&apos;d need toys for.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read below or at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/724985&quot;&gt;AO3&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/652523.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Dance Across the Room&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=652523&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>I have been reading a lot of really awesome fic lately, to the detriment of my focus on Vera Brittain&apos;s &lt;em&gt;Testament of Youth&lt;/em&gt;, which is also awesome but involves a lot of people dying but, thus far, no one having scorchingly hot sex on-page. (I&apos;ll let you know if that changes.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here, share my screwed up circadian rhythm! Read these things!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/650937.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation Kill, Nate/Brad genderswap&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/650937.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;The Hobbit, Thorin/Bilbo soulmates&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___3&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/650937.html#cutid3&quot;&gt;Skyfall, Bond/Q action-adventure angst romp&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___3&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cuttag_container&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___4&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dira.dreamwidth.org/650937.html#cutid4&quot;&gt;The Eagle, Marcus/Esca Esca-in-the-Roman-Army AU&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___4&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dira&amp;ditemid=650937&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
