More specifically, it's great to have finally finished something; another girl!Peter GOTG fic is up and posted on AO3. Honestly, I'm mostly glad that I finally did manage to finish something again--life has been so crazy that for the past month or so pretty much nothing writing-related that I wanted to get done got done. That includes journaling, so I'll try to get back to updating regularishly in the next couple of days, or at least by the end of the semester. (Only three more weeks!) 

Fic Dump

Okay, here are all the fics I've finished since...late August, maybe? For some reason I promised myself that I wouldn't post them here until I had my monster of a work-in-progress (the fourth girl!Peter fic) finished. Well, it's finished now, and here are the fics. 

Title: I Don't Wanna Know Your Name
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Rating: Teen & Up
Relationships: Peter Quill & Yondu Udonta, Peter Quill & Kraglin Obfonteri, Peter Quill & Tullk
Summary: Pete's no beauty, but she's got a pocket full of credits and a past full of kick-ass stories and a damn good sense of humor. What more does it take to score a hookup in this lousy city?

Probably the darkest fic in the girl!Peter verse, up to this point, anyway--which wasn't what I'd intended to write. But I do love what I came up with, even though it's a little overlong and muddy in the middle. Lots of angst, lots of father-daughter conflict, and lots of loving but screwed-up relationships. 

Title: So Come on Home
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Rating: Teen & Up
Relationships: Peter Quill & Yondu Udonta
Summary: Escape isn’t something that just happens. When your chance comes, you’ve got to be ready to reach out and snatch it.

Five times Pete could have escaped. 

You can read this one either before or after I Don't Wanna Know Your Name; I wrote in between chapters because I needed an emotional palate cleanser. This is the fic with one of my very favorite Pete and Yondu bonding moments so far, and I'm pretty proud that I somehow got it under 3,000 words. 

Title: There's a Light Yet to Be Found
Fandom:  The Magnificent Seven (2016)
Rating: Teen & Up
Relationships:  Emma Cullen & Jack Horne, past Emma Cullen/Matthew Cullen
Summary: A part of each of them scares her, from Faraday’s wandering eyes to Chisolm’s quiet, implacable anger. When all’s said and done, though, the man standing next to her now is the one who truly frightens Emma, for reasons she can’t begin to explain. Least of all to herself.
 
Post-battle, Emma finds comfort where she least expects it. 

Pretty small fic in a pretty small fandom, but I adore both of these characters and had so much fun writing in Emma's voice, or at least what I imagined Emma's voice might sound like. Her story ended up having a lot to do with grief, anger, and moving on; it's also my first fic in a non-Marvel-related fandom, which I only just realized now. Huh.

You can probably gather from this that fanfic's been going strong, and original fic...not so much. At all. I'll try to post about that (without getting too whiny or repetitive) soon. 

New Fic

Title: Cute Little Buggers
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Rating: Teen & Up
Relationships: girl!Peter Quill & Yondu Udonta, little bit of girl!Peter Quill & Rocket Raccoon
Summary: Neither of them quite means for it to become a tradition, but it does. Pete steals shiny little doodads. Yondu collects them. Nobody mentions it.

So. My mission with this fic was to write something with a little less angst and a lot more fluff, and I'm not sure how well I succeeded. The last few paragraphs still ended up being kind of sad. Well, bittersweet. Hopefully. I see Peter and Yondu as both caring about each other very deeply, but, thanks to a boatload of emotional issues on both their parts, never really being able to come out and say it. So all my girl!Peter fics so far have involved some kind of issue with communication. I do like this one, though. I had a little trouble figuring out a theme that would tie all the plot points together (this was one of the projects I needed to take a break from for a few days). I think it all came together fine in the end, though. Also, now that Pete's a teenager, things are going to start getting really interesting....

Title: Hello, World, I'm Your Wild Girl
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Rating: Teen & Up
Relationships: girl!Peter Quill & Yondu Udonta, girl!Peter Quill & Kraglin Obfonteri
Warnings: Mentions of sex work
Summary: The last time Yondu had something to show her she ended up stranded on some backwater outpost for two weeks while the rest of the crew partied in a whorehouse. Because that’s no place for a kid, but a tent with bullet holes blown through it in the middle of nowhere? Just peachy.
 
Or, one time Pete got left behind and one time she didn't.

And the bizarro AU continues. This is a prequel/sequel to "Mommy's All Right, Daddy's All Right", so even though you don't absolutely need to read that fic first, things will probably make more sense if you do. This one is a little more plot focused and (hopefully) a little more funny--I really wanted to bring out both Pete and Yondu's goofier sides this time around.

Title: Mommy's All Right, Daddy's All Right
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Rating: Teen & Up
Relationship: girl!Peter Quill & Yondu Udonta
Summary: Pete is six years old and her dad is coming home any day now.

Apparently I'm incapable of writing in any fandom without cooking up some bizarro AU. But I have so many feelings about a scrappy, snarky little girl!Peter growing up among the Ravagers. Also a boatload of Peter & Yondu feelings that I needed to work out after seeing GOTG Vol 2. Even though I wrote this fic pretty quickly (3,000+ words in two days, which is new for me--I almost never write more than a couple hundred words a day) I'm proud of it; it's not as polished as it could be but I hope it's just the right amount of angsty and heartwarming.
