Distracted By Something Shiny

shirebound! A little birdie told me - or LJ notifications did - that it was your birthday a few days ago. I was clearing my breakfast dishes that day, thinking how you deserved a nice little hobbit story, when this came to me nearly fully formed! Just a little something about passing the mantles down to the next generation. For shirebound - a very Happy Birthday to a very wonderful lady! Some pre-series Frodo, Sam, Gaffer and Bilbo. 1,099 words. Enjoy!

More Galentine's fic! For wolfrider89’s prompt, Faith and Buffy - retirement home. Do with that what you will. Omg, lol, I read this prompt and then like two weeks later when I went to write the story, my brain just totally left out the retirement home thing. Ha, so yeah, no retirement home in this at all. But still, it’s Faith and Buffy and shenanigans! And it was totally ridiculous fun to write their voices and my sister came in the room and saw the words, “Why so much glitter?” Buffy asked. “And why the wig?” on the computer screen and busted out laughing, so there’s that. wolfrider89, you are too far away for how much I love you, bb! 1,556 words. Enjoy!

The first of my Galentine's Day prompts! I haven't finished them all yet, but I'll keep posting them throughout the month. The prompt - Agents of SHIELD/MCU - Melinda May, Natasha Romanov, Pepper Potts, and Maria Hill (or any combination thereof) talking about the children (not an age related term) under their care. - It kind of went in that direction, lol. Dedication: For vikingprincess. You, woman, are deserving of all the Galentine’s love. My very, very awesome friend, words cannot express. 1,180 words.

shirebound, this is your birthday fic, at last! I couldn't wait to get over the damn flu so I could finally get this up! Deep Impact is in my top three most re-watched movies of all time. And for well over a decade now, my mind has been full of plot bunny ideas for that movie. IDK why I never wrote them, but I when I mentioned a few of them to you, you were so enthusiastic about it, that I finally decided to go for it. And it tickled me even more when you said you did a Deep Impact re-watch for your birthday! So happy birthday, darling! - From the POV of Beth's daughter, who has a few questions about why they say 'thank you' to Jenny every night. 1,372 words. Enjoy!

( The lions were attacking the giraffes, a predictable turn of events. Honestly, the giraffes should have known better than to accept the lions’ invitation to tea. )

So I saw the smaller of the two pictures below going around on Tumblr and thought it needed a story to go with it. I was going to write a little synopsis and just attach it to the Tumblr post, but my little synopsis turned into a 2k fic. Oops, not oops. Enjoy some Firefly AU!

I had several people give me back-up prompts of Leverage for my Mistletoes fic challenge, so I decided to combine a few of them and run with it. Because I love a good Eliot/Parker friendship fic. I mean, who doesn’t?! This one is for all my Leverage lovin' peeps! 1,077 words.
