Where Angels Fear to Tread on Ao3 (requires login)

A galactic war… and one lost Starfleet officer desperately trying to get home!

Just finished this cover for our Trek/Wars crossover fic! I’m incredibly proud of it (and of the fic too). Plo Koon gets to adopt a lost disaster goblin and Wolffe is Unhappy (but Dooku is unhappier).

If you're still taking au headcanon prompts, Hartley as a recurring rogue/ teaming up with more rogues circa s1/early s2 OR whoops, s1 Eddie got powers from the particle accelerator

Oh, they both sound fun though.

Hartley's plan worked. He got Harrison to admit he knew the accelerator was flawed. He got Ramon to get him out the Pipeline, and he pointed them in the direction they needed to look to find out how to help Ronnie (he will not admit this is part of his plan).

He saw Harrison run though, when he broke the window, saw the traces of red lightning, and that seems like bad news for him. He heard a rumour about another speedster, one who killed people at Mercury Labs, and Hartley has a terrible feeling he just inadvertently got on the wrong side of a murderer

But he does know the Flash has weaknesses, and knows Snart and Rory didn't make it to Iron Heights. He can find them, and he's sure he can build them new guns easily enough if Ramon can do it.

Leonard just steals the blueprints and Barry's name from Cisco, Hartley does build the guns, and Lisa's Gold Gun, and he's got an idea for a flute that might come in handy

Hartley helps with the not actually handing anyone over to shady government organisations part of the Pipeline plan. This is when they recruit Shawna to the Rogues, and maybe Mark.

Mark's still grumpy he didn't get to do his tidal wave plan and Leonard's very insistent the Flash made him promise not to kill people any more, but Hartley still persuades him to join the group by saying killing the Flash will give him some revenge for a few minutes, or he can cause problems for the Flash constantly by helping them steal things and cause chaos he's got to go deal with, and more of them have a better chance of beating him and showing him up in front of the whole city. Mark's a little dubious, but willing to give it a try, since it'll make them all rich

All the Rogues are willing to help with the stop Lewis Snart plan, especially when they find out what he's done to Lisa, even if it means teaming up with the Flash. Hartley goes in as the tech guy after Barry because Hartley figured out who he was ages ago, and he's obviously going to mess this up.

Working together once does not mean they're not all going to carry on with the ruin the Flash's Christmas by causing as many problems as they possibly can for him in a few months though. They already had to delay it because this other speedster went and hurt their enemy

(If anyone sees them helping stop Zoom's forces at the end of the series, that's only because they can't rob any banks if all the banks get destroyed. It's definitely not because they got attached to the Flash and he's their guy to fight, who does this other speedster think he is?)

Hartley's very happy with his new weird little family. They're planning on stealing from his parents next.

As for Eddie gets powers, I have less right now, but:

The windows shatter, the power goes out, and there's this huge bang from upstairs and before he's even thinking Eddie's sprinting to the lab.

He finds Barry unconscious lying on a set of shelves and immediately goes to start chest compressions. Only there's this residual charge left in Barry and Eddie's last thought as he's thrown back away from Barry's body is you're not meant to touch someone who's been electrocuted.

It would be suspicious to only take one of C.C.P.D.'s comatose employees into his care, so Eobard is forced to also bring his ancestor to S.T.A.R. Labs. He's very, very grumpy about this.

He's even more grumpy when Eddie wakes up about two weeks after Barry and also appears to be a speedster, but he had to inherit it from somewhere.

Eddie puts his foot down and the Pipeline doesn't happen. He's more hesitant about the superheroics too, technically it means being a vigilante which is illegal, but ultimately Eddie wants to help people, so he does put on a costume just to help Barry with the fires and things like that. He'll leave the dealing with criminals in costume to Barry, unless he really needs help, Eddie sticks to doing that part the normal way as his day job

Thank you!

'safe' for the wip guessing game?

He looked like some of the soldiers Bucky had met during the war, the ones who had been fighting for so long that they couldn’t recognize when the fighting was over, still waiting for the next barrage to begin even when they were home safe, or as close to home and as close to safe as you ever got out there.

oooh I'm curious about spy rendezvous?

It’s just a few paragraphs at the moment so I don’t know if it’ll go anywhere, but I was hit by the burning need to write Meng Yao and LXC meeting to exchange top secret info during Meng Yao’s time undercover in Nightless City - at a time where letters were not viable or fast enough. And then of course they have hurried sex in the woods. :)

Andy Mientus's facial expressions are such a journey in the scene where EoWells confronts Hartley in the accelerator, don't mind me while I hyperanalyze every detail (thank you @squireofgeekdom for posting that glorious gif set) but-

first we have THIS right, that firm press of his lips he starts the scene looking almost like he wants to cry but is holding himself back THEN

you can literally see how much he WANTED EoWells to own up to it, to explain it away, to actually make it make sense

he's hurt, he's disappointed, he's heartbroken, and he's disgusted but also he's in disbelief, his lover idol/hero is finally showing his true colors and he's made the decision that he has to go against him for the good of everyone (attempted Flash murder notwithstanding Hartley is really a good person but I could go on about that in a separate post)

but then

his face falls SO fast, he pivots from fury to fear in an instant, that's a man who has been betrayed before and knows exactly how bad it can go for him when he doesn't fall in line, he's not scared of the big burly security men, he's scared of another person destroying his life (and I would be willing to bet those wounds are still fresh, he's only just managed to pick himself back up from having his life torn apart before and EoWells knows it)

anyway The Flash has a cast of some of the best actors and I'm so mad they didn't use Andy more he's SO talented

Where Angels Fear To Tread

Rating: T Characters: Plo Koon, Commander Wolffe, the Jedi Council, assorted Jedi & Clone side characters, a whole bunch of OCs Chapters: 9/? Fic Contains – star warstrek crossover, a whole lotta culture clash, discussion of genocide and war and other Clone Wars-typical topics, Jedi culture/worldbuilding, and the authors playing fast and loose with both canons.

THEN: In the midst of the Clone Wars, a newly-minted Jedi Knight vanishes, suspected of defecting. But the woman brought back to face the Council is not Knight Tulin, but an officer of an extragalactic organization that calls itself ‘Starfleet’. Curiosity, and a determination to rectify the mistake, drive Plo Koon to take the lost Commander Chester under his wing. But between Republic Intelligence’s sinister interest in their extra-galactic visitor, the growing Separatist determination to capture her for themselves, and the good Commander’s own determined escape attempts, keeping Chester alive is hard enough–let alone getting her home. NOW: In the horrific wake of Order 66, a badly injured Plo Koon stakes his survival on one last desperate hyperspace jump, to a mysterious anomaly that might offer hope for him–and for what little remains of the Jedi Order. For Captain Diane Chester, Plo’s arrival is confirmation of all her fears. Now, she’s got to keep the Empire’s grubby hands off the Alpha Quadrant with only one ship, one Jedi, and that greatest Starfleet tradition–a hell of a lot of showmanship.

...

sooooo a few months ago @severeannoyance and myself were yelling excitedly at each other about, respectively, star trek and star wars, and somehow this turned into inflicting our assorted blorbos on each other. Then @squireofgeekdom joined the crew, and suddenly we had approximately 150k words of narrative collision.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Spider-Gwen (Comics), Ghost Spider (Comics) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Gwen Stacy | Spider-Gwen & Harry Osborn (Earth-65) Characters: Gwen Stacy | Spider-Gwen, Harry Osborn (Earth-65) Additional Tags: Missing Scene Series: Part 1 of Intersections Summary:

Gwen and Harry, phone calls and text messages from Harry getting out of the hospital to Gwen leaving for 616.

(Can be read as a standalone)

I read Spider-Gwen & Ghost Spider with absolute fervor earlier this year, and was devastated when Ghost Spider was cut short, so of course fic had to happen! I wanted to bring in some extra callbacks to earlier bits I was interested in, and I was missing Harry through this bit of the series, I love his friendship with Gwen, these DnD nerds are A Lot.

Additions to this series will go up Sundays, so check out the series and subscribe if you're interested! Subsequent fics in the series will bridge past the end of Ghost Spider (including Gwenom vs Carnage), and involve some crossovers with Squirrel Girl, as well as plenty more Gwen, Harry, and some of their multiversal counterparts...

WIP Folder Game

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I got tagged by @squireofgeekdom (thanks!) and in the spirit of doing this properly as well as trying to get people to talk to me about my original stuff, here's the handful of active fanfic WIPs I've got that exist in their own docs:

RoL - Don't Carry It All, Don't Carry It All Nightingale and Galahad: the fic The Better Kingsman Sequel (technically only planning notes but it's still fun and eventually I want to do something with it)

Most of my fic gets thrown into big long docs organised by theme until it becomes A Thing and gets a doc to itself, so if you want to play pot luck with random bits and pieces that may or may not go anywhere, there's also:

RoL misc fic stuff RoL Crossovers (with sections for Temeraire, Torchwood, Captain America, Call the Midwife and Warehouse 13, among others) Nightingale and Galahad RoL + Silent Witness RoL PacRim AU Weirdness Orgs Crossover

(Yes like 90% of what I've been writing for the past six months is Rivers of London, I've got brainworms about the wizards, leave me alone)

I'm going to tag @altschmerzes and @johnbly, and if you'd also like to be tagged then consider yourself tagged!

fhg for the wip meme?

fhg is the Flash & Hawkgirl document which has also just been sticking all the fics in one document, but now there's only one fic left. It's going between 2 timelines at the minute, the rough idea is the main timeline is left aligned text as usual, but the second timeline is right aligned, and as they shift there's a few centred aligned parts as it goes between them, though I'm a little unsure about that so we'll see

She wanted to go home and sleep. Curl up with Kendra in their bed and rest. Maybe eat something. Barry had promised to make brownies ready for when they got home.

“We aren’t running trains to Central right now,” the ticket officer said. “Have you not seen the news?”

“We’ve been away,” Kendra said. “What’s happened?”

Iris had already pulled her phone out and pulled up Picture News’ website.

Break-out at Iron Heights was splashed across the entire front page.

Thank you!

Trick or treat! 🎃

You get...the alternate version of a scene from Better in the Morning! Marked in my files as coming from Chapter 4.

Now

“Well, this is all…awful,” Loki said to no one in particular.  Rather than attempt to join in the argument Odin and Frigga were having he sat down against the wall instead, pulling his knees up in front of him.  It wasn’t that he had nothing to contribute; it was just that at this point all he wanted to do was find somewhere quiet and scream for a while, but since that wasn’t an option he was going to have to settle for getting out of the way.  Maybe it would make his parents think he was a child; at the moment, he didn’t care.

Predictably, Thor immediately came over to sit down next to him.

“Go away,” Loki told him.

Thor shook his head. “There’s not exactly anywhere to go.”

“There’s the other end of the hallway.”

“Don’t be like that.”

Loki rubbed at his forehead. “I’ve had a very long day, Thor,” he said. “And any moment now the TVA’s goons will probably turn up again and we’ll both have to get up and fight for our lives, so I would just like to take a moment to sit here and pretend that our parents – or rather, our mother, from your past and my future, and your father from a different timeline entirely – aren’t arguing about whatever they’ve moved onto arguing about now, and that our genocidal big sister whom our father kept secret from us our entire lives isn’t here either.”  He thought about what he had said, then corrected himself, “Your father.”

“Not either of our fathers, apparently,” Thor said after a moment’s thought.  He frowned.  “That grammar doesn’t sound right.”

“Ugh.”  Loki let his head fall back against the wall.  It felt oddly warm, but he didn’t have the energy to investigate why; it was also entirely possible he was still mildly concussed from the Hulk, even though concussions didn’t typically last this long for Asgardians. “I hate this.”

“Me too.”

Thor was quiet for long enough that Loki shut his eyes again and was halfway to drifting off to sleep – he wasn’t making any attempt to listen to what Odin and Frigga were saying to each other, and the familiar sound of their voices was hypnotic – when Thor said abruptly, “I need to ask you something.”

“I really don’t think you need to,” Loki said, cracking open one eye.

“It’s about Thanos.”

I'm late at this but @ladyyatexel tagged me for a getting to know you game a while back.

Last Song: I think the last song I listened to voluntarily was an Enya song but I can't remember which one now! Cal and I were looking for less-typical holiday music because the usual fare is just not for us. My head has had a constant loop of various songs in it as usual though. Earlier this morning it was a bunch of Weird Al and related strangeness including old WTNV quotes I haven't thought about in ages. Not sure what my subconscious was up to. Suspicious.

Currently Watching: We started watching that new firefighter anime which is pretty good, but the last show we actually watched was a few episodes of Go Rush. It's so weird! Also streaming-without-paying the new Kenshin series because we love Kenshin.

Current Obsession: Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal is going strong which is really wild considering it's already been like 3 years since we first watched it. It's because we adopted some of the characters as our personal blorbos and are RPing with them… so many little stories we've played out already and this latest one has been developing for over a year o_o

I can't think of anything else that really qualifies as an obsession in my life lately… I'm very much enjoying learning more about native plants in my area and of course I take too many pictures of my cats and also this is the first time we had enough space and motivation to decorate seasonally so that's kind of awesome. Right now I'm just trying to survive online grad school and not let it impact my work performance too much or drive me mad. I really wanted to do NaNoWriMo this year to work on my fantasy novel but after two days I realized I would be seriously threatening my own mental health if I stuck to it so I gave it up for this year.

university has never been particularly good for my creative bandwidth, so I'm trying to give myself permission to not be particularly productive until I graduate, but it's still sad because I have stories to tell. I do. I just don't always have the energy or brainpower to tell them the way they deserve to be told.

Ah I don't wanna end on a low note so I should give the caveat that really I've been sustained by the Zexal rps Cal and I do, it's the first time in a while I've allowed myself to be super self indulgent in making ridiculous OCs and it's so much fun, I love our little barian monster babies so much. I need to draw them more.
