Writing Round-up for April (plus a little)

[deelaundry]

I don't normally do a monthly round-up, but the past month-ish there were several small pieces. These are all ficlets of under 1000 words, unless marked, with no spoilers, unless marked. (I also wrote a tiny Taub piece, but ugh. It was terrible. Sorry about that, shutterbug_12.)

Earthworms and Buttercream Roses, PG-13, House-Wilson friendship, 1311 words. No spoilers past Season Four, even though this is set in mid-season Five. I'll confess now that I wrote this banter-heavy tale as a present for fans who think Wilson needs to learn some things and do some making up to House. My favorite comment on the story came from mer_duff who led with, "Oh Wilson, you bossy bunny." Hee.

Work by Night, PG, House-Wilson friendship, House-Chase friendship, 3004 words. Wilson has a stroke, and nothing is quite the same. House's POV, warning for "off screen" major character death due to illness. Sad but ultimately hopeful.

Those Three Little Words, PG, House/Wilson, written for cryptictac. House has a strong reaction to hearing Wilson say, "I love you."

Belts, Benches, and Weights, PG, House/Wilson slash. I wanted to write PG-rated erotica, in "honor" of Amazon coding thousands of gay-themed books Adult, even though they had no erotic or "adult" content.

Comes a Day, PG-13, future fic, House/Wilson (although there's nothing slashier than lying in a bed together), written for phinnia. Dedicated to anyone who struggles with the idea of unconditional love. No one needs a lump, House thinks.

School Assignment, G, midquel for "My Fathers' Son." Jack Wilson, age six, completes a language arts assignment.

Relict, PG, sequel to "My Fathers' Son," written for photoash. Wilson goes on a date.

Dylan Muses on Family, PG, House/Foreman kidfic, in queenzulu's "No Such Thing" 'verse, written for her. House and Foreman's son Dylan thinks about his dad-dads.

House in Menopause, PG, gen. A very short scene written in 2006 for a 'verse Djinn was planning to write, in which all the characters on House were born the opposite gender from canon.

Not Near Enough, PG, House/Wilson, in hannahrorlove's imbued-superpowers 'verse, written for her. Wilson can fly, so very high up in the sky, and even though House can read minds, it doesn't mean he knows everything.

Stargate Atlantis drabble, Any Afternoon, PG, McKay/Sheppard, written for jdr1184 and posted to mcsmooch

That's so much! Wow. Please let your Muse visit me some time?

Most of them are short. They're a broad spectrum because they were prompted by various people. Short, prompted seems to work for me.

Didn't you say you have a private 'verse you're writing? Your Muse is probably too happy playing there to want to inspire you for anything else. :)

*hugs*

Yeah, but short is wonderful too! I always love your short pieces just as much as your longer ones.

Hmmmm, my Muse doesn't want anything to do with my private Benjamin-verse anymore, either. She's GONE *cries* *hugs back*
