( icon meme concluded, or WHY AR SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WRITE Y:TLM FIC )

Oh, let's be honest, cut text. This is why I shouldn't write any fic. -______-;;; Most of them don't really have endings, I know, and might or might not have anything to do with the icons, and you can tell that I did them out of order and lost my attention span after a while, and and and YOU KNOW, they are just kind of eh. But they're something, probably.

So I tried to write out something that I mentioned to thereoncewas, that I've had in mind to write but haven't found a way to do well yet. I still don't think I succeeded here, and posting this is actually making me kind of skittery, but. It's a try, and so be it and et cetera.

Niko/Promise, like everything I write in tcls fandom is turning into.

( try number 1 )

I continue to think that this is teeeerrible, but it's been well-established previously that I have a low fucking opinion of my TCLS fic, so. >> As requested previously, it's why Calla's name is Calla.

( if I was the kind of guy whose heart melted at hour-old infants yawning... )

A misbegotten Christmas present, I maintain. This is one of a few stories from the Pile Of AR's Terrible TCLS Stories that I'm going to put up in the next few days. It is good indication of why I shouldn't ever try and write Promise/Niko. :-/ I feel horrifically naked and blegh posting this, I have to admit, but as your eyes bleed, just remember that I can kind of write Cal's voice. AT LEAST I CAN DO THAT. et cetera.

( three ways it didn't happen )

...it was originally going to be five things and one, but I ran out of ideas. >>

It isn't good, and I don't feel I did a good job at all with the voices--but hey, it's been a while. >> I was being all stalky with cal_sitter, as you do, and Jen had mentioned right about here the most fantastic idea evar. I feel bad for not asking before stealing wholesale, but. There we go. >>

Anyway, it's set around when Niko is...fifteen-sixteen?...and Cal is however old Cal is. It's shameful how hard I find it to keep their ages straight. But I think it's being told in retrospect--again, as you do. And it's also terrible, but that goes without saying, et cetera.

( What the hell are these? )

Title: A Journal of the Plague Summer
Rating: G (seriously, why do I even bother with this, it's always G)
Summary: A summer in the Leandros brothers' childhood, complete with unnecessary Old Testament references.
Author's Note: I'm at a point where I don't feel like trying to format this into something akin to proper chapters or parts or whatever. Let it just be known what it is: I'm putting it up for me at this point, less for you all. Since the main computer's internet is broken all to hell, I need to be able to get to it wherever I've got an internet and all that. So you can feel free to ignore it, or you can feel free to read, but just--just know that it's not really in a good format and it's all filler and doesn't end at an end-point and in short, I'm not really trying too hard to impress anyone, so if it's not very impressive, that's why.
