jlhWell! Two short fics of mine have gone up at the Astronomy Tower and both of them have something to do with ickle ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
johnwalton, if tangentially.
When I went down to DC over Memorial Day weekend to visit my friend Peter, we went out clubbing in Dupont Circle, and I saw a boy who was obviously on ecstasy dancing like a maniac. On the train back to NYC, as I was listening to Led Zeppelin and beta-ing Keepers Secrets, the fic sprang into my head. I needed a POV character, so I drafted John (who opted for blond hair). Peter is in it too—he explains it all, just like he does in RL.
The second fic is a Percy/Oliver that I began as a penance for a truly dreadful cookie I posted on SCUSA a long time ago. Lesson learned: if you write something minimalist and people don't get it, don't add explanation. You'll just ruin the balance. I am happy to say that the new fic is significantly better, and includes cute adopted children named after literary figures!
Anyway, both of these can be found here: In the Club and Coming Home, Now. Yay!
Yes, I know. Chapter 7 of Eight Ways from Sundayshould be up soon. Cross your fingers.
In other news, I am totally addicted to the New Wave Music Choice channel. All those with digital cable must listen! They played Aztec Camera earlier! And "Wouldn't It Be Good"! Last night they played the Eurogliders! Seriously, I am 13 again, in my bedroom with the atrocious red plush carpet, watching the very early days of MTV. You bet I'm an X-er!
