L, where the fuck have you been?

Around. Hey. It’s been something like five years, huh? In that time I’ve had some real wild life changes. Met (in person) my now-husband, got engaged, got married, worked myself to the point of collapse, got a brain injury, got diagnosed with a couple autoimmune disorders, found a career path, started grad school. Plus there’s…

Stand Up

I don’t stand up for myself. You’re probably thinking I mean I let people walk all over me, I’m quiet, I’m passive, I have no self-respect. And if you know me personally, you’re probably thinking that doesn’t sound much like me. But there it is: I don’t stand up for myself. Today I checked on…

I’ll Go With You

While at A-Camp, I started writing about the people I met. Little snippets of something that had happened would pop into my head. I didn’t know what the point of them was, just that I had to write them all down. Every story I am about to tell you is true. They may be slightly embellished for…

The Siren

I attended A-Camp this past weekend, and there I met a Siren. This is a poem about our meeting.   I heard a Siren sing today And all the world stood still To see the light shine coffee and cream upon her skin I felt the moment everything +++Stopped And the current pulled me in…

Zero to Sixty

There was no love lost between them, at the start, and no words either. One tense meeting, the personas they’d made for themselves clashing and driving them apart. Two bitter, broken men with too much on their minds to notice all the things on their minds were the same. Three months, four missions, five seconds…

2016: A Look Back

2016 was not easy. I started the year intentionally unemployed. I’d spent three years working in an environment that had driven me to the point of suicide, and I was so mentally unstable that I couldn’t work. I’d spent the better part of 2015 playing video games and writing fanfiction. I rang in the new…

Overfic

Once upon a time, on @Kate’s stream, chat donated for me to write short Overwatch ficlets that were read aloud by @Ross. These are the ficlets and links to clips of the readings. The quotes and clips for the original version of this document were compiled by BlueChloroplast and Anonynym. Many thanks to both of…

Everything I Need

Anders woke with a start, head spinning and eyes crusty. For a moment he felt panic rise in his chest – quiet voices below him, Templars coming, sky on fire, have to run – before he recognized the voices and remembered where he was. Where he was, exactly, was the hayloft of an abandoned barn…

Cowardice

I am not brave. I have tried to be brave. I have said things I never thought to be true. I have put on my strongest, proudest face. I have been spat on and stabbed with words as well as swords, beaten by human and darkspawn alike, thrown to the ground for being too good…
