The good news is I’ve just been struck with inspiration for an extra Isurugi flashback in a future installment of Wishing of Space Hardware.

(It will not be that exciting; he’ll mainly be facepalming in the background of some McGillis nonsense.)

The bad news is that the scene necessitates putting this plonker on the page too.

Belated Yuletide post (+a bit of Macky/Gaelio meta)

Hey all, I just wanted to drop a note to those interested that I did, in fact, do one Yuletide fic this year--just the one, as I was trying to avoid the three-month writing binge and subsequent dry spell as I also have intentions to try my hand at the worldbuilding exchange this year.  It is, perhaps, a bit more in line with my general interests in fic anyway.  But!  In the meantime, have this: 

In Sublimation Found: Of ghosts in machines, and trying not to dwell on the past. 

Season 2 era Gaelio and Ein bond emotionally despite having only one body between them.  McGillis and Isurugi, meanwhile, are light years apart despite being closer than ever physically.  (Features mental links, semi-explicit sex, and dubious applications of McGillis's authority.) 

(Below the cut: a few paragraphs of rambling that's about the fic but also about how I see McGillis and Gaelio coping with their dramatic season 1 break-up and how their struggles to process the loss of that relationship impact their respective relationships with Isurugi and Ein.)

I've had my approach to Gaelio and Ein--namely that they get closer as their circumstances get more dire, so by the time the second season rolls around, they're quite intimate indeed-worked out for ages, but it was fun to get McGillis and Isurugi down in writing.  We never really see what their first encounter was like such that someone with as many secrets and as much paranoia as McGillis decided to bring someone as stoic and unassuming as Isurugi into his confidence.  I'm endlessly fascinated by that, even as I know their affections are terminally unbalanced. 

I see McGillis as someone with a nasty tendency to sabotage his own relationships because he doesn't expect them to last and he wants to make sure he comes out on top in the end.  Isurugi, meanwhile, has a colonist's self-worth complex and is never going to push for more than McGillis offers even as he also won't turn those offers down.  On the one hand, this makes a very stable relationship for McGillis, who badly wants people he can rely on, but on the other hand, that same undemanding nature is also deeply alien to McGillis, and so often leaves him cold.  While he can't admit it to himself in so many words, McGillis loved Gaelio, so here we see him trying and failing to keep Gaelio out of his thoughts.  Despite sundering their relationship entirely of his own accord, McGillis proves to miss Gaelio terribly. 

Gaelio, too, is struggling with the loss of the relationship.  He always wrestled with feelings of inferiority to McGillis and has now gotten a particularly cruel demonstration of how little all his efforts to earn McGillis's regard amounted to.  However, he's much better adjusted than McGillis, and more open with the subordinate who wants to help and support him, besides, and so he's not anywhere near as mired in his own head as McGillis.

“Even if it involved all this bloodshed... when I was in the presence of the General I was able to dream. You see, I became a member of Gjallarhorn and I went on to prove myself but I’m still from the colonies. Without the assistance of a patron it was absurd to even dream of tomorrow, such as the world that we now find ourselves living in. Someone like you, a man born under the name of Bauduin could never understand. I am the General’s....”

Yuletide (+Updates)

Hello again, my gracious, patient followers.  After my traditional year-end hiatus, I return with two IBO stories and a Ronin Warriors one, as well as some updates about what I’ll be working on again now that the holidays (and a New Year’s stomach bug) have finally released me from their clutches.

The Urgency of Care:  The long cough is one of those childhood diseases that everyone gets vaccinated for as a kid, but there are always people who slip through the cracks. Some of them are pretty bad at taking help when it's offered, too.

Some sickfic for Chad and Yamagi, also featuring Kudelia and Atra.  Post-canon, starring Chad’s persistent low self-esteem, Yamagi being prickly and also Very Tired, Kudelia wrangling politics in the background, and Atra doing her best.  

Hey, it turns out that when you fail to vaccinate a significant subsection of your population because they’re literally regarded as subhuman garbage, your planet is sometimes going to have crisis-level disease outbreaks.  Whoops!  I look at this as kind of the kick-to-the-ass Makanai needed to start seriously working with Kudelia on the Human Debris Abolishment Treaty.  

The World Takes:  Aston survives, and goes back home. Isurugi survives, and lands in military prison. Somewhere along the way their paths cross. That may be important, in the end.

This one is a bit of a weird one.  I love Isurugi, so I knew I wanted to write something for whoever requested him for Yuletide, but paralleling him with Aston...?  How to even approach that?  “Go really AU,” is the answer, it turns out.  I ended up kind of falling in love with this story as I wrote it, though.  

I think Aston and Takaki were about three significant conversations away from dating in the show, and they would have been great together, so getting to write that was a complete treat.  And I fell hard for the concept of Isurugi and Todo being Almiria’s right and left hands during my vaguely-conceived Almiria’s Adolescence Apocalypse timeline, so much so that I’m actually pretty frustrated that it can’t ever be canon!  

The Paperweight Problem: Talpa won, but no one wins forever.  Dais—abides.

Half-dreamed, half-real meetings between a dead man and one who is doing his best to stave off madness, trapped in a paralyzed body with an all-too-conscious mind.  

I love Dais, and I love the warlords’ implied backstory, so I was all down to write some Dais+Anubis, but what in God’s name was, as the requester’s letter put it, “the paperweight problem”?  Once I figured out what the letter was referring to, I basically couldn’t NOT write it.  This is heavy enough on imagery and feelings that I kind of think of it as less a fanfic of the show proper and more a transcription of one of those really wispy, ethereal doujinshi.  (I hope this description does not turn tag-surfers off completely--I promise Dais is still a sarcastic shithead!)

So that’s the new stuff.  If you’re just tag-surfing, or just want finished product, enjoy the assortment!  If you’re curious at all about what else I’m working on, hit the jump!

So, firstly, I’m trying to finish up the other half of that Odds-n-Ends post.  I have a few more chunks to write, and then the rest should be quite quick.  ETA: a week or less?  I would likewise love to get back to the pair of McGillis and Gaelio analysis essays I’ve been working on on and off, but those are much longer, so I don’t have much of a projected time for them.  Other perpetual essay topics include an overview of religion and spirituality in the setting, as well as a consideration of the shows’ female characters, their agency, and their treatment by the narrative (with a scathing comparison to Gundam Thunderbolt’s women, if my saltiness regarding the latter gets the better of me).

On a fanfic front, I have long been considering a several-part-installment series detailing how Chad and Yamagi get together, that would do some double-duty as tracking how Tekkadan gets from the climactic fight with Arianrhod to their relatively-comfortable-looking epilogue.  I think making that whole thing one story is far beyond my reach as a sporadic maker of content, but perhaps I’d do better by making it a series, in which I could jump around and change focus as the mood hit me?  We’ll see.  I also find I write a somewhat less poverty-stricken post-series Tekkadan than seems to be the norm, and it might be nice to lay out my timeline on that a little better.  

I also have two things from the Yuletide writing period that I’d kind of like to expand on.  

Firstly: I’ve always had two ideas for how Kudelia and Atra’s getting hitched came about, one pragmatic to a fault and the other far more romantic.  When my assignment hit my inbox with a request for fic about said marriage, I thought, “Oh, cool, I’ll use this as an excuse to write the big romantic wedding and save the more practical telling for that Chad/Yamagi series!”  A fine idea, right up until the story hit 6K with no end in sight, and I realized I was never going to finish it on time.  (The 8K sickfic would probably have been even longer if not for my blowing half the writing period on the wedding fic, yes.)

I still really like a lot of what I have, though, from its melting pot approach to marriage traditions to its navigation of some of the relationship problems lingering around Kudelia and Tekkadan.  It is, by nature, going to be half-fanfic and half-bullet point list, but I’d like to see if I can wrangle it into something presentable anyway.  

Secondly, that portion of the Aston+Isurugi story that concerns Isurugi’s time in prison being subjected to weird mad science experiments that leave him on the verge of a complete identity breakdown?  That is my JAM, total id-fic, and I have a terrible temptation to expand on it, even knowing it would be pure self-indulgence.  If anyone is at all interested, let me know; otherwise it will likely just remain buried on my hard drive.

If you actually hit the jump and read all this stuff, as ever, thank you very much for your continued interest, even as (to judge by the fandom response this year) the show itself fades in the rear view mirror.  As I’ve said before, I’m not done with this world yet, and I appreciate anyone and everyone who hangs around to continue to explore it with me.
