( 2015 Yuletide LetterCollapse )

Title: Initiative
Authors: darlingchaos and magpieinthesky
Date Written: October 8, 2009
Ratings/Warnings: PG-15 (strong language, some violence)
Characters: Spike of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (darlingchaos) and Topher Brink of Dollhouse (magpieinthesky)
Word Count: 4604
Summary: AU for both Buffy and Dollhouse (and, obviously, a crossover). What if Spike had gone to Topher to get the chip taken out during Buffy season four?

A/N: This is kind of a bit of housekeeping for me. I had gotten permission from darlingchaos to post this almost a year ago (and this was written even earlier than that), but I must have been super busy at the time, as I’ve just gotten around to remembering to do this. This was originally in RP format, and I have formatted this for easier reading. All mistakes then are my own. Suggestions for clarity are welcome; I only gave this a once-over after formatting. So much credit for awesomeness goes to darlingchaos, who is pretty much made of all that is amazing. *hugs*

( Oh, I am that good. But more to the point, I'm downloading the directions to where you're going to get that chip out straight to your brain, so unless you want an even bigger migraine, I hope you're following my instructions right... now.Collapse )

Title: Turn! Turn! Turn!
Chapter: Prologue: To Every Thing There Is a Season
Fandom/Characters/Pairings: HIMYM, ensemble, Ted/Mother, Barney/Robin, Marshall/Lily, and many others along the way
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1758
Beta: The amazing, incredible, supermegafoxyawesomehot girlthethird
Spoilers: In this part, just for 6.01 "Big Days," but other pieces of season six are present if you look for them.

Summary: Ted is about to meet the love of his life, but what came before this moment is just as important.

Author's note: So msmanuscript made a prompt request a billion years ago at himym_ficprompt, to use Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 as inspiration. I wrote a bit here and a bit there for the next year and a half, and then there was a SIGN. I mean, a real sign: in "Big Days," the church's marquee displayed the first verse. And here we are!
Author's note part 2: This fic is not about religion. In case you were wondering.
Author's note part 3: The Byrd's famous cover of Pete Seeger's song, "Turn! Turn! Turn!", which uses Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 as lyrics, is worth a listen.



( If anyone ever asks him to be their best man again, Ted needs Lily to make him remember this moment before allowing him to respond.Collapse )

Title: In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman
Author: magpieinthesky
Written for: 12days_of_clois Christmas Challenge
Prompt: Hands
Category: Smallville
Rating: PG
Word Count: 810
Summary: An attempt to annoy each other becomes a moment of affirmation.
Spoilers: Er, Smallville season 4?
Author's Notes: This takes place during a nebulous time period between Lois and Clark meeting and getting together, so really it could be during any number of seasons I think.

( Hey, how do you put a smirk on this? I mean, that’s a classic Lois - ACK!Collapse )

Rating/Warnings: G
Author's Notes: Set during the latter half of Season 2. Spoilers for 2.11, "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis."

Summary: Lois learns to give the gift of sharing this New Year's.
Spoilers: Up through 1.13, "Witness," though I use a character first introduced in 2.07, "That Old Gang of Mine."
Author's Notes: I played a bit with the order of episodes in the first season of TNAOS. In my world, "Witness" happened before the New Year (though it originally aired Jan. 9th).

( As Lois took a cautious sip of her coffee, the newspaper crinkled and was folded neatly, revealing three heaping plates of various breakfast foods, a mug of what Lois supposed was hot chocolate - though it was smothered with whipped cream so it was hard to tell - and the man sitting next to her, who took the opportunity of having a free hand to begin stuffing the foods into his mouth.Collapse )
