Un assemblage de mensonges

The collection for Yuri Challenge 2012 is live!

I didn't actually participate, but I ended up writing two treats anyway. Prizes if you can guess which they are =3

Title: Jealousy, Thy Name Is Stewberry
Rating: PG
Cast: Jon/"Stephen", Jimmy Fallon, Wyatt, Kristen, other correspondents
Contents: X-Men: First Class spoilers, canon hobo death

While Stephen is off having exciting friendship adventures with his new best buddy, Jon copes with his totally-not-jealousy by dragging various correspondents on a series of ill-fated friendventures of their own.

For a fakenews_fanfic SeSa prompt by snobantiker: Jon/"Stephen", Jimmy Fallon. During the time of the BFFSM of Stephen and Jimmy, Jon gets jealous.

( Jon pouted. Disgraceful, that was. Men their age had no business pouting, unless they were facing a truly heart-rending situation, like not being sent a free iPad quickly enough. )

The stories for the Magical Girl Fic/Art Swap 2011 are live!

I got Request, a Homura-centric multifandom story from a crossover universe that works exactly the way I'd like it to. The fic I wrote will be crossposted after the author reveals (but feel free to guess in the meantime!).

Title: As If You Were Salt-Rose, Or Topaz
Rating: PG
Pairings: Jon and Raven (pre-slash or pre-het, however you want to read it)

Written for pookiesbleubass in the 2010 fakenews_fanfic Secret Santa. Big Stew (or, at least, sinister!Jon) meets Raven for the first time.

Sexy title courtesy of Pablo Neruda. Sketchy illustration over here. Far better illustration, by omelton, here.

( The figure on Goldman's arm was unmistakably not his wife, a fact which Stewart knew better than to mention. )

This year go_exchange delivered right on schedule: Heaven Enough, in which Agnes has a good afterlife and there are some beautiful cameos.

Over at fakenews_fanfic's Secret Santa swap, I got News Casters, which is Sam/Olivia with an ensemble cast and bonus tiny!Jon. And it is magical. In both senses of the word.

And while you're reading, check out Metaphorical Foreplay Is Still Foreplay, a mini-coda to Riding The Love Train To Sanitytown. No fic exchange behind this one, just random inspiration.

I would invite people to guess my contribution(s) to either exchange, but I have a feeling I've been pretty transparent this year ^_^;

Title: The Gender Ninja of Oz
Rating: PG-13 (light sexual content)
Characters/pairings: Ozma/Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Toto, Jack Pumpkinhead
Contents: Major spoilers through The Emerald City of Oz (book 6); minor ones through Tik-Tok of Oz (Book 9).
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters...not that it matters. Public domain FTW!
Prompt: lgbtfest, prompt 3782: Wizard of Oz series, Ozma, Ozma's gender identity is complicated - zie wasn't fully satisfied as a boy when zie was Tip, but isn't fully satisfied as a girl when zie is Ozma. On top of that zie is in love with Dorothy. Is there any resolution to this?
Notes: Ozma/Tip's pronouns will be going all over the place; sometimes they match hir physical body at the time, sometimes not. Most of this sticks to Baum's canon, though I have pulled one detail from Ruth Plumly Thompson: rather than staying at the same age forever, characters can choose on their birthdays whether to grow that year. Title nabbed from Genderfork. Full-size versions of the illustrations will be showing up with my other Oz fanart. And, as always, other trans!fics are here.

"I might try it for awhile,—just to see how it seems, you know. But if I don't like being a girl you must promise to change me into a boy again."

"Really," said the Sorceress, "that is beyond my magic. I never deal in transformations, for they are not honest, and no respectable sorceress likes to make things appear to be what they are not."

—The Marvelous Land of Oz

( 'You never talk about your life before they let you be Princess again,' says Dorothy crossly. 'I s'pose being a farm girl isn't very exciting next to being ruler of all of Oz...but I'd like to hear about it some time, all the same.' )

Medium: Television
Fandom: The Daily Show/The Colbert Report
Subject: Jon/real!Stephen
Title: Day Late Friends
Warnings: Epic unrequited love story; some ruined pants.

Two musical wishes at the fakenews_fanfic Secret Santa were in danger of going unclaimed: Goo Goo Dolls' "Feel the Silence" for shoebox_addict, and Cake's "End of the Movie" for kitsunesan. So I put them both in a (non-angsty, in spite of the prompts) mix.



( The news is the news, but the dance goes on forever )

My Secret Santa gift is up. And it is glorious.

Nobody wants to guess at the ones I gave? Nobody? The reveal's going to be soon, if not today, but that's still enough time for a few last-minute speculations. (Also, I will totally draw you something and/or write a custom ficlet if you guess right.)

Medium: Television (fancomic)
Fandom: The Daily Show/The Colbert Report
Subject: Fake News Rumble
Title: Good Guys, Bad Guys, And Explosions
Warnings: Large images; spoilers through the Chapter Four preview

A fanmix for the incredibly epic comic Fake News Rumble. In which Dick Cheney is an alien overlord out to destroy the world, and only the superpowered staff of the Daily Show stand in his way.

I've been wanting to draw chibis of these characters for a while now, because their designs (all in the artist's DA gallery) are amazing. Larger versions of the art.



( They need a hero, somebody who is just like me )

Title: Or You Could Show Him How To Work Your Nail Guns
Rating: G
Characters/pairings: Tad/Bobby, Stephen
Disclaimer: All television shows, movies, books, and other copyrighted material referred to in this work, and the characters, settings, and events thereof, are the properties of their respective owners. As this work is an interpretation of the original material and not for-profit, it constitutes fair use. Reference to real persons, places, or events are made in a fictional context, and are not intended to be libelous, defamatory, or in any way factual.

Summary: A fluffy double drabble (i.e., 200 words exactly, not counting the title), written for one of the unclaimed prompts over at lgbtfest: 1086. Punditslash, Tad/Bobby, Something happens and now Stephen knows about their relationship. How do they handle being out to their boss, and how does Stephen's own repressed sexuality come into play?

( In the summer when Bobby turned six, his parents got an addition built on their house. )

Title: The Pun Was Too Good T'Eschew
Rating: PG
Characters/pairings: Stephen, Meg
Disclaimer: See above.

Summary: And another, with a slightly sadistic twist: 1079. Punditslash, Character!Stephen Colbert and Meg the intern, To Stephen, hitting on women is a way to force his sexuality into line. When Meg refuses his advances on the grounds that she's a lesbian (and it's *sexual harassment*) he decides that they can 'help' each other become straight. Meg is forced to teach Stephen a few things.

(You may want to do some background reading first.)

( 'Better do something heterosexual, just to make sure.' )
