Stalking My Memories

Weasel-y politics

2019-09-26T16:43:49Z

It is endlessly infuriating to watch any sort of politics with my parents. Today instead of the news at noon there was feed from hearings about the recent whistleblower thing - I admit I haven't had the energy to keep up with it.

Mom was immediately frustrated with how the committee kept badgering the guy under questioning - head of the DoJ, I think? Then there was a 'nice' break of being frustrated with random Republican basically using his time to rail against the fact that they're all here having to undergo this FARCE before someone else went back to trying to get a simple fucking yes or no out of the guy under questioning.

I understand her grumpiness - I'm here for excessive reports about the weather with a dash of local shenanigans (and whatever endorsements the mother corporation (the mouse) have paid them to make today). (There's a reason I only watch the local news once a day.) But to me it seemed so clear. The questioner kept asking variants on "if X, then Y, correct?" -- usually "if this information passed on is credible and not just hearsay, it should be investigated, yes?"

And he NEVER. Got. A single. Answer.

Oh, there were a LOT of words, but no answers. It was all "I did my responsibility to pass on the information it's now on the committee to decide what to do with it" -- which is great, but that's not the question. I sat there getting increasingly fed up with "I will not say it should or shouldn't be addressed, because if I do and then I somehow end up implicated in this, my comprehension here means I've gone and hung myself out to dry; BUT if I don't then I look like I'm covering something."

Just...say "in this hypothetical" and get on with shit, dude. You get to acknowledge that ALL it is, is a hypothetical. You get to call out the congresscritter on trying to maneuver you into a corner without committing to an actual stance. But nope, the increasingly absurd dance to avoid looking like a traitor to the administration OR a spineless toady.

I had trouble finding the words to say that, instead pointing out that it was a hypothetical and just answer. Mom kinda got that. Dad disagreed, "but he didn't say that it's a hypothetical." "He just did. IF this, THEN that - that is how a hypothetical works."

Mom doesn't like politics. Dad is a cynic in the sense that he thinks it's all futile anyways. And I'm left just feeling weird, and sad, and hollow. The worst part is that I know Dad thinks I'm being the idiot kid and just blowing hot air without bothering to understand things. I....

I worry. I worry I don't actually know what I'm talking about. I worry that my impression of reality is just some optimistic filter that has very little to do with what's going on, that what I thought had been years of learning by talking with someone who -- while an absolute asshole -- knew his shit about politics and maneuverings was instead all just more drinking the kool-ade. I have no faith in myself or my abilities, and the very fact that this all seems so simple and blatantly THERE while no one else seems to see it just means I'm making shit up from whole cloth.

This always happens when it starts to be about politics around here, and I've lost track of what's real. What's worse is that I can recognize the immediate impulse, which is to duck into the bathroom and hide there as a safe space I can control to some degree. Used to do it all the time with the Ex.

And this is the sort of thing that makes me wonder how much of that was all in my head, too. I'm like, 90% sure it ISN'T, but.

Looks like it's one of those days of venting to the internets and then hiding in fic writing and warcraft, where I DO know what the hell I'm doing.

The Rex/Obi theory

2019-06-05T18:12:31Z

Reblogging this from the old tumblr, links might well not work because I am tired and cannot with them yet, sorry.
*******************

First off: background sources. Post Blue Shadow Virus, the Naboo gave Rex a set of guns. They are very shiny, very nice, and named Negotiator and Vigilance. Now, given that Obi-Wan has “The Negotiator” as a title, one has to wonder about “Vigilance.” Since Anakin is known as “The Hero With No Fear,” it’s probably not him.

It has also been pointed out to me (thank you, @morecivilizedage) that Obi-Wan’s flagships were the Vigilance and Negotiator. Which…yeah.

Later on, it seems the shuttle that Cody and Rex take in Rookies is named The Obex.

…I am not a fan of the name smushing habit people have for ships, but that’s…kind of blatant.

Also, I recently found out that Sideshow put out an Obi-Wan figure, based on the 2003 Clone Wars design (the modern Clone Wars, and what’s declared current canon, was the 2008 version). To my admittedly limited knowledge, Rex does not exist in the ‘03 show. If nothing else, he’s not listed as a character on the IMDB page. HOWEVER, part of this figure’s design is a wrist com hologram – of Rex. Not Cody. Not another Jedi. REX. WHO DOESN’T EVEN EXIST IN THAT SHOW, WHICH HAS SCREENSHOTS SHOWN ON THE BOX. They didn’t have to call the hologram Rex, and it’s out of continuity to the presented Obi-Wan, and would calling this hologram “Rex” instead of any other clone really sell more figures?

Gotta admit that’s Interesting.

Now, given I totally pick and choose data from non-show sources (…see the horrific novelizations of The Clone Wars – or better yet, please don’t. Character assassination abounds), we need to look at the actual show.

It starts with the movie. Cody has a minimalist presence in there, whereas Rex interacts with Obi-Wan a lot. There’s several scenes where there’s some lovely close interplay, including a bit where Obi-Wan is ordering Rex to pull back – while gripping Rex on the shoulder.

Take a moment. Consider how often you see on the show Obi-Wan touching anyone. He doesn’t tend to initiate that, and it’s rarely outside of a combat situation. But that man can’t seem to keep his hands off Rex. Watch with that in mind, and please, feel free to tell me I’m missing things.

So back to the Blue Shadow Virus. When Anakin is freaking out to Obi-Wan because his wife and student are liable to be the first to die, he wants to know how Obi-Wan can not be on edge. “I’m just better at hiding it.” Take the parallels – Padme and Ahsoka are Anakin’s family. Now, Obi-Wan is prolly also having a HUGE internal freakout because they are in THE hanger that started Duel of the Fates in Episode I, but if he’s hiding the same sort of emotional breakdown, who is that about?

Parallels are important. Take The Deserter. That is THE shipping episode. Watch how Obi-Wan reacts throughout: he’s grumpy at first, because Grievous is up to the usual shit. Then he coms in to find out what Rex’s status is – and upon hearing Rex has been shot, his immediate reaction is worry, concern – I’d almost say he’s distraught. His orders to Jesse to hustle up and help them take down Grievous is more snarled, harsher, and from that point on Obi-Wan has an edge to him that wasn’t there before. This particular battle has become personal to him, and when Grievous gets away, there is genuine ANGER that a Jedi should not be expressing. What the hells else has Grievous done this episode or the last to merit that sudden change?

As for the literal parallels, Cut is Rex’s counterpart. They are contrasted again and again throughout the episode, and that culminates with Rex bidding Cut and his family farewell – so that Rex can go back to HIS family. So. If Rex is Cut, then the kids are obviously the other troopers under Rex’s command, and who does that leave as Suu’s counterpart?

Who is it that Rex talks to immediately? G’on, guess.

Also, Obi-Wan cannot stop gushing to Cody about Rex. I imagine poor Cody has to put up with this a LOT.

In fact, we can show that he does! The episodes with the Zygerrian slavers – Kidnapped, Slaves of the Republic, and Escape from Kadavo – are just chock full of this. The main crew takes out two BARC speeders. Anakin has Ahsoka riding shotgun in the sidecar, while Obi-Wan has Rex. The intriguing bit is that Cody is left for cleanup and directing the rest of the clones, even though technically Rex is ordinarily in charge of a larger battle group (depending on what bit of canon you’re looking at). There’s that exchange in the slave mines OP mentioned (2 slightly different versions and commentary are linked). There’s also the sequence where Rex gets permission from Obi-Wan to take the shot and be a bad ass on the villain (“I’m no Jedi” indeed). That interplay is subtle, and implies the two work together and closely enough that a glance and a nod are enough to convey what’s going on. Sure, the 501 and 212 work together often, but Obi-Wan has his own second-in-command.

Interestingly, Cody does not show up after the first episode in this arc. Given that they have the voice actor on hand, and the Wolf Pack is called in at the end for the rescue, tossing Cody and some 212 into the mix would have been easy. So that dynamic has implications.

Not factual enough yet? Screenshots of character positioning being more like a romance moment than in a war flick not good enough?

Let’s go to the Citadel arc. There’s more of the circumstantial evidence, where Rex can be interpreted as having Obi-Wan’s back more than one might think is usual.

But then there’s this gifset. As the mixed 212 and 501 soldiers are thawing from carbonite, watch Obi-Wan in the background. He nopes out of Anakin and Ahsoka’s tiff, and goes over to chat with Rex and Cody. When Obi-Wan gets over there, he raises his arm to do the shoulder grip thing (like I mentioned above, in the movie!). It might not be clear from the gifs, but there is not enough time for Obi-Wan to do that twice before he goes to the one arm behind the back kind of “at ease” posture. When he steps away from the troopers to be the Actual Adult in the room to Anakin and Ahsoka, Rex stands a bit straighter, in proper military posture, and dusts off his armor. It might not be a universal gesture of “aw yeah, I’m awesome,” but it sure seems pretty satisfied. Poor Cody meanwhile is watching the move, which helps capture the viewer’s eye (and leaves me wondering if he’s going “what the hell is up with you?” or “do not make me hose you down”).

I would honestly love to know someone else’s interpretation of that with un-shipping goggles on. ‘Cause I admit, I don’t see it.

That, folks, is why I ship it like mad. There’s more circumstantial evidence throughout the show, like how Obi-Wan and Rex interact (like a married couple, or in fact often like Anakin and Padme are presented at their best). There’s Rex being extra fancy and staring at Obi-Wan WAY more than Anakin in The Voyage of Temptation, otherwise known as “Satine and Obi-Wan in a Shuttle and Anakin Being Oblivious.” There’s the simple implication of the chemistry between the characters, though that is obviously open to interpretation.

This is animation. It takes time and effort and money to animate a simple shoulder grip, or a specialized gesture such as buffing one’s nails. Voice acting is an art where you have to convey so much emotion with what can be small adjustments to words. Scripts have to go through so much oversight and tweaking to convey a particular story, within the wide scope, and themes and plot threads have to be carefully considered. This isn’t chance, this isn’t one writer/animator/storyboarder going off the reservation because they had a Neat Idea.

I really do think it’s canon.

Random other bits I’ve gathered while re-watching the show:

During the movie, when Rex is told that General Kenobi’s been captured, he just freezes. He goes from digging around off screen for what I suspect is a new ammo cartridge, stills, then yells at the soldier that they have to hold out, now keep. fighting. It’s less rallying the troops as a bit of emotional pushback.
During Voyage of Temptation, when Anakin is sassing Obi-Wan in the elevator about Satine the possible old flame, Rex is right there in the elevator with both of them (along with poor Cody). Rex isn’t on Anakin’s flank, but Obi-Wan’s (little odd, but I don’t recall offhand how they filed in). And Anakin is “sensing some anxiety” from Obi-Wan about Satine.
I love how there’s now another reason for that.
In an…‘interesting’ coincidence, it seems that when Rex got shot in The Deserter, that’s the exact same place Obi-Wan gets shot in Deception. Nothing conclusive there, but it’s intriguing.
from The Zillo Beast Strikes Back – The first time we see Rex, Anakin is giving him orders to “Stay with General Kenobi” – there’s the implication that he’s already with the General.
They’re continuing to leave breadcrumbs in Rebels.

Badly Described Fic

2019-02-20T16:41:01Z

morgynleri had a very good idea, in posting meme results here! So, from a meme challenge to "explain your fic badly," have some AUs!

Balance: Extra-dimensional traveler helps Dark!Jedi form a Gray Order. There is much swearing and therapy.

AWOL: Extra-dimensional traveler desperately wants to go home, takes back souvenirs and Useful Life Lessons, only to play intergalactic game of tag.

Unintended Consequences: Extra-dimensional traveler desperately wants to go home, takes back souvenirs and Useful Life Lessons, only to take friends on an intergalactic road trip.

Green Squad: Extra-dimensional traveler desperately wants to go home, takes back souvenirs and Useful Life Lessons, only to take his harem (and friends) on an intergalactic road trip.

Furlough: Extra-dimensional traveler desperately wants to go home, takes back souvenirs and Useful Life Lessons, only to leave behind an accidental threesome.

Chibi!Verse: Space-and-Time-traveler adopts some kids to return the favor for when they adopted him.

Nightsisters: “Impish greasemonkey adoptee of undead juggalo witch nuns” adopts a village and pisses off the Jedi more than usual.

Star to Steer By: Space traveler meets brain worm and friends. Chaos follows.

Through a Mirror Darkly: Canon but with Sekrit Sith versions of Our Heroes, who are still somehow better adjusted than in canon.

Blackest Circle: After the apocalypse, what if canon was even angstier?

Brightest Cure: After the apocalypse, what if canon was even angstier, and then meets an even eviler twin?

Anelemma Overlay: Time travel, dimension travel, and secret identities.

Ghosts of 66: Angst with clones and ghosts.

Modern Dance: bullshit magic realism noir from the context of a dance club and an OTP.

Unmasked: Canon (except when not) but with more masks and fancy clothes.

Hard Reset: Darth Vader with classic Hollywood amnesia.

Teeny Tiny Mandalorian Kenobis: After the apocalypse, even more clones.

Corellian “Jedi”: They’re actually Sith, but since everyone in canon is oblivious to the obvious, this somehow escapes notice.

Concordance: The Republic’s over, let’s have a revolution and ALL THE POLY SHIPS (with a side dish of angst).

Wake of the Force: Usual evil villain trips falls down stairs and dies, leaving much messier battle lines than usual. Clones put a damper on Jedi.

Language Barriers: Nobody can understand each other, but they bang anyways.

Obi-One and Seventy-Five: Amnesiacs try to end a war.

Message in a Bottle: Angry ‘widower’ tries to kill his boyfriend, fucks him instead.

Frying Pan universe: War ends and everyone is saved by the (repeated) delicate application of a frying pan upside the head.

Sass and Murder: Twice the hero for different shenanigans and many more times the smut.

Dragon!verse: Three idiots can now turn into dragons at will. Hoarding instincts lead to winning a war.

Unnamed sex-pollen verse: Sex-pollen makes for awkward sexy fun times.

Barren Humor: Obi-Wan Kenobi is Chuck Norris, but angstier.

Eclipse (reblogged from Tumblr)

2019-01-08T04:49:33Z

It’s just after the height of the local eclipse as I’m starting to write this. We only got somewhere between 60-70% occlusion here, but there’s something altogether uncanny about it. It was high 80s (F), with middling to light cloud cover all afternoon, and we’ve been watching the turkeys amble around the back yard, while hummingbirds dogfight each other for the feeders.

I took the laptop outside with me about half an hour beforehand, and Mom brought her pinhole pieces of paper (eclipse glasses? Not ‘round ‘ere, thank you kindly). It’s humid, and a little still – not the wind, there’s a light breeze, but that hush to the air like you get before storms. Only that’s not quite right.

Then it’s like cloud cover rolled in, that storm-what’s-not kicking in. You can see that the cloud cover isn’t any denser, but things are darkening in a way that’s a bit unsettling. It starts to physically cool down enough that I stop being quite so concerned that my poor laptop is going to overheat in direct sunlight. The pinhole starts to show more of a crescent shape than a circle.

And it gets darker. It’s evening rushing in too quickly, settling in far too fast. The humidity and breeze seem to spike, not because they do but because the air is getting a bit more chill. It’s not quite goosebumps levels of cold, but there’s this mild dizzying sensation because shouldn’t the barometer be falling rapidly for this storm and I can still make out patches of blue among the clouds.

The woods seem a little too still – not hushed, but like most of it doesn’t know if it’s evening somehow early or Something Other. The hummingbirds don’t give any shits, and they continue their little cackles at each other at they get their food.

At its height, the best analogue I have is a storm. That moment when the sky is bruised purple-gray, the humidity is thick enough to drag at your limbs even though you’re on land, not in water – but it’s nothing like that. It’s too dark too quickly. There’s that chill enough to raise hackles but not goosebumps. The humidity seems kinder than it was earlier, without its partner heat breathing down your neck.

It’s gorgeous, and disturbing, and somehow my mind is immediately latching on to Jedha obscured by Super Star Destroyers, or how Alderaan must have witnessed the Death Star coming out of hyperspace.

The heat sneaking back in to join the humidity makes everything a bit clammy. There’s enough cloud cover to trick my mind about the light coming back. ‘Just a cloudy day, an Odd Moment,’ it’s declaring, but it’s not and something other than my brain is more than convinced that it wasn’t Just A Bit Odd.

This was Other.

This was magnificent.

3Below

2018-12-22T02:33:43Z

Ok, I’m pretty sure I’ve recced Trollhunters before. There’s a sequel series that dropped onto Netflix today (ish?) called 3Below.

Ya’ll know it takes me forever and a day to get through series/movies, even ones I really like. I. Er. Might be on episode 9 right now. >_>

I do highly recommend it, for all that the second hand embarrassment is sometimes rather high. There’s just… just this one little thing that keeps poking at me a little. Under a cut for non-story related spoilers.

Belated edit, slightly more spoilery, this time for a smidge of plot, because I have to scream it somewhere:

Fallout

2018-12-19T16:44:27Z

I deleted the tumbl app off my phone today. It’s...interesting, I suppose, how many mixed feelings I have about this purge. On the one hand, there is spite: I will stick around until I get bored with being repeatedly booted, and I have a REMARKABLE amount of patience for stupid games like that.

On the other hand, there’s this sensation permeating everything. It’s not quite grief, it’s not quite fear, it’s not quite exasperated exhaustion. All those are in there, but I don’t know what to call it other than ‘melancholy’ and that’s not quite right either.

I know that online spaces are ephemeral. I spent the last two weeks preparing for a possible deletion, and to be quite honest I was pretty sure that it would happen.

And here it is.

I’m tired in a way that kinda surprises me, but it’s familiar. I keep flipping from a snarky, almost jovial ‘welp, that’s a thing’ and then remembering tumblr specific fic that now is only in my files, followed by an emotion best conveyed as ‘ARGH. I have to do something about that!’

Concordance.

Defiant Refrain.

Commander Kenobi.

Gods, I want to go looking and there is no easy way to search my archive, it’s just all plopped down there, and best I can do is literally skim backwards and hope I remember when things were.

::scrubs face:: I just don’t trust Tumblr to not disappear out from underneath me again. I think what I need to do is an actual, schedule-time-for-this-every-day project where I’m digging back through the archive and migrating everything. Cross-post things, toss as much onto AO3 as I can. Maybe set up some kind of cross-index via spreadsheet or worksheet or something, I don’t know.

If anyone wants me to post any particular things, or for me to search for reblogs of your particular things while I’m doing this, please let me know.

"Perfect is the enemy of good -

2018-12-17T20:19:40Z

But we got no idea what that was."

I'm trying to use pillowfort, I really am, it's just so slow that I start twitching before anything can load. Possibly later under the hope traffic will be down.

Meanwhile, on to today's attempt at adulting. I was reminded of one of the reasons that being a shut-in isolated from anyone could be a lot less stressful.

I'm delivering pizzas now. (Not this instant right now, because I can only imagine how bad texting while driving is, never mind blogging.) The people at the pizza place are nice, I like them, and BossLady rocks.

And what better way to say "Happy Holidays! Thanks for being awesome!" than a 13x9 slab of butter, coca, and minty booze?

It seemed like a good project for yesterday and today, as an activity to stave off stress-jitters from the tumblageddon. I took it in an hour ago, and it was greeted with much squee -

But I kinda totally forgot someone's having medical stuff done and thus is fasting until Wednesday. And now I'm freaking out about two whole tablespoons of minty booze, because what if the younger staff aren't supposed to get any alcohol, or the other delivery driver who's more an inhouse worker what delivers several days a week because they need the money? I don't know anyone well enough to know if there's some kind of family problem so any booze is a bad idea, and and and --

Intellectually, I know that taking the time and effort to make brownies means more than people actually being able to eat them or not. I took the time to include an ingredient list (which I can only hope is legible), so it's not like it's surprise!booze or whatever.

I just can't manage to quiet those extra doubts and worries and I know it's ridiculous, but brains are annoying. URGH, why is scrooging so much easier?

Star Wars fic

2015-12-05T22:38:13Z

A basic primer for those new to the madness, and those who want a refresher on all the things we've got going on! Known universes (...or as many as I can get in one sitting), and details as have been released into the wild! :D Will be updated as things get out there, and I remember. ^_^ Listed ships are as known to the public as of this time. Spoilers are possible, but trying to keep it to as minimum as you would get from the tags. In no particular order.

Overview: We (myself and Dogmatix) mostly write in the Prequel Trilogy and Clone Wars eras, with minor forays into the Original Trilogy and very little to do with Rebels (neither of us have really seen it). We're mad about clones, and I ship Rex and Obi-Wan like whoa. I'm open to pretty much anything, but I've a HUGE weakness for my favorite pair. Obi/Qui, and Anakin/Padme are also common

Balance: Obi-Wan dies on Naboo, not Qui-Gon. Distraught by his padawan's death, Qui-Gon falls and uses the Dark side to kill Maul, and then he leaves the Jedi Order. He is Dark, and he goes searching for the greater Darkness in the galaxy -- and the Sith Master who is responsible for Obi-Wan's death. Tumbl tag: on Balance eating my brain. Ships: Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, mostly unrequited.

AWOL: so many pre-requisites. Not there yet. Desperately want to write this NOW. Tumbl tag: AWOL

Unintended Consequences: so many pre-requisites. Not there yet. Started it anyways. Rex and Obi-Wan hook up after Christophsis, and start building a relationship in the middle of the war. Tumbl tag: unintended consequences. Ships: Obi/Rex.

Green Squad: so many pre-requisites. Not there yet. Tumbl tag: green squad

Chibi!Verse: so many pre-requisites. Not there yet. Tumbl tag: chibi!verse

Lady of the Suns: When Qui-Gon takes Anakin from Tatooine, he gets attacked by Maul -- and the Jedi get a helping hand. Then things get REALLY complicated. Tumbl tag: lady of the suns

Through a Mirror Darkly: Taking the Jedi Apprentice series in a whole new direction. Tumbl tag: SithVerse. Ships: nothing current, though way way down the road it's Qui/Obi when everyone's adult and clear consent is possible.

Star to Steer By: Star Wars crossed with Stargate SG-1. Yes, I know that shouldn't work. Dogmatix is brilliant and found a way. Tumbl tag: star to steer by and star to steer by headcanon. Ships: Anakin/Padme/Fives (...it's...less odd in context ^_^ ) Supplemental fic

Blackest Circle: Mustafar goes differently. Dark!Obi-Wan, Dark!Anakin. (With Flamethrower! :D) Tumbl tag: blackest circle. Ships: Anakin/Padme

Ghosts of 66: a so far unconnected set of stories of clones and their Generals. As it says on the tin. Tumbl tag: ghosts of 66. Ships: Anakin/Padme, Obi/Ace!Rex if you squint, but you really have to be looking for it.

Modern Dance: (...definitely needs a decent name by the time it goes to print) A SW modern AU. Rex is a cop. Obi-Wan is the private eye he has to arrest for perving at a dance club -- even if it WAS for the investigation. Things only get murkier from there. Noir, paranormal weirdness, and who knows what else will turn up. Tumbl tag: moderndanceAU. Ships: Obi/Rex (A LOT). Anakin/Padme.

Unmasked: On the back burner. It involves a lot of masks. Tumbl tag: unmasked. Ships: Obi-Wan/Cody

Hard Reset: Darth Vader, with classic Hollywood amnesia. Add angst and Flamethrower (<3). Tumbl tag: amnesia vader. Ships: Anakin/Padme, Rex/Obi

Analemma Overlay: so many pre-requisites. Not there yet. Tumbl tag: analemma overlay

Nightsisters: During Anakin's Trial of Solitude, things go horribly awry. Genderbending, trans characters, femslash, and all sorts of interesting things we don't get to work with nearly often enough. Tumbl tag: nightsisters and nightsisters AU. Ships: none yet

All the Fic

2015-12-01T06:47:24Z

So it's occurred to me that a list of the tumblr fic I've written would be useful.

...I suspect this might be a touch quixotic. We shall see.

...and after finding out I do not in fact know how to use this platform, we're going with a placeholder that shall be slowly updated. Yay for competence! :D

Good Morning -- Anakin. Padme. Morning on Naboo. Fluff without plot. (Quasi-canon verse)

Saving Face -- Plo Koon had a simple, easy diplomatic mission to make. It was to his species’ homeworld, so Wolffe was content to let his General go with just one clone escort. What could go wrong? (canon compliant)

3 times Plo Koon almost lost his mask, and 1 time that he did -- Like it says on the tin. Character insights and fluff with a touch of angst and at least a little bit of a lightsaber fight, because hey, Jedi. References events in Saving Face, which may or may not be needed to understand. (canon compliant)

Sheev -- Flamethrower requested "I just want to read a fanfic where the heroes discover that Palpatine’s first name is Sheev, and they’re too busy laughing about it to really be overly concerned about the spitting, indignant Sith who really wanted that secret to remain buried." (random crackverse)

Eldritch Plo thing -- Imagine the Wolfpack as a group of six identical brothers, who move with their harried father and snarky mom to an old house out in the country when they’re maybe five or six years old. There’s a nearby house that’s like, completely run-down and just about falling apart. They hear local stories about the monster/ghost/whatever that lives there, so of course they end up daring each other to spend the night there. (modern AU)

to be edited when I am not distracted by shiny:
Break Fic -- master list, ought to do individual entries
The Frying Pan Thing --
