Fic 'n' Things

netgirl_y2k-The obvious thing to do when I don't have any running water on account of a burst main is to drink beer instead, right?
I did have half a bottle of water in the fridge, but I put that in the dog's bowl. Not that she'll touch it; my dog would never drink out of anything so gauche as a water bowl, not when there are toilets and puddles to be drunk from instead.
-I mean, I could do some writing while I'm sitting here. In a fit of unrealistic optimism I have four word documents open. The first is my take on the Person of Interest fix-it, which is causing me problems because, pacing issues aside, I actually like the PoI finale and thought that it earned most of what it did, but for the purposes of this fic I have to change everything about it; the basic premise is that Root succeeded in her no good, very bad plan to hand herself over to Samaritan in QSO, and everything that happened to Shaw after that was a simulation, and eh. Fixits, I have realised, are easiest written from a position of utmost bitterness, which is why so many of mine are about Donna Noble or Morgana. The second is my Femslashex fic; I like the prompt, I've revisited the canon, I know what I'm going to write, and I've been staring at a blinking cursor for a week now. Like, come on, dude, hop to it. The last two wips are the treats I want to write for Femslashex, which I have forbidden myself from working on until I've written my assignment, so they're probably not happening, but I live in hope.
-a minor fall and a major lift (Sansa/Willas; ASOIAF; coffee shop AU)
My fic for the last round of got_exchange. A Sansa/Willas coffee shop AU is, ahem, a little outside my wheelhouse, but I ended up having a lot of fun writing it, not least because I got to include Lady being alive and Margaery sleeping her way through the eligible female characters.

I'm drinking beer because I ran out of wine, if it helps.
