Following Protocol, by Astral_Insanity

Sure, there were plenty of parenting guidebooks available, but none of them quite addressed the nuances of his life.

Working for an anti-capitalist terrorist organization as the captain of an espionage crew (which included your daughter) and a giant fuck-off warship was apparently not very common.

I love advent calendars in general, and this year I have THREE:

1. COFFEE: mmmm, delicious coffee advent calendar. There's a bunch out there, this is my second year of the Door County Coffee one.

2. DIGITAL: so easy to store! The family has gifted each other the Jacquie Lawson advent calendar for years.

3. CRAFTY: I re-used the 2024 Woobles advent calendar box to put in my own small craft projects (mostly crochet and diamond painting). I wasn't sure if I'd love this one, but so far it's been great!

Voting is up at

lgbtrainbow - managed to make 6 SkyMed icons for it for "Round 16" and so far I like the community - it's kinda low pressure even though the rounds can be quick. I like it 'cause you participate when you can. I am looking forward to new rounds of

characters20in20 and

ships20in20, and trying

tvmovie20in20 and

disney20in20 if they come back.

heartsfate has a new prompt community

10trueloves - pick a character, prompt table and create 10 fics of 10 different pairings for that character. Already joined - picked Wanda Maximoff because why not - kinda obsessed right now... especially right now with Bucky/Wanda. Which was my first entry for my prompt table. And why I have a new icon for them alone.

Also participated three times so far for

adventdrabbles - two for Charmed (reboot)'s Abigael/Mel (day 2) and one MCU's Bucky/Wanda (day 3). They even used my prompt for day 3 - cat in a Christmas tree.

The only reason I suggested that one, was because my first cat (RIP Cally) crawled all the way up in it ages ago (maybe the first year we had her I'm guessing, I don't remember anymore) and my family used that as a Christmas image/card for years - it's adorable but not great for ornaments plus they can hurt themselves potentially. But yeah, I've found that if you slowly introduce your cats to the tree before adding your ornaments - they get bored with it and don't bother it as much... well - mostly, just the bottom tree branches at least. At least that's how it's gone the last several years with my cats. I haven't even put my tree up yet (which is severely late for me), but I'm probably going to do that tomorrow or Friday.

Anyway I'm not sure if I'll participate with all the Days of the adventdrabbles - guess it depends on the prompt. Day 2 & 3 prompts definitely sparked something.

At

mcu100 the new bi-weekly prompt is Lights, with Jessica/Matt and Betty Ross as the monthly challenges "pairing"/character.

xmen100 the new bi-weekly prompt is Decorating, with Kitty/Wanda and Blink as the monthly challenges "pairing"/character.

I need to get to bed, otherwise I would probably write more, lol.

FYI

I'm writing a sequel to a Quantum Leap/Miami Vice crossover fic I wrote THIRTY YEARS AGO.

And it's all

spikedluv 's fault. 😉

So yeah, to anyone who's afraid to give comments/kudos to "old" fic (usually they mean a few years, too): I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- you never know what might happen.

Talk about coming full circle yet again. Rico is getting his chance to come back after Sam leaps out and deal with the changes Sam caused. I love it. At first I couldn't figure out how to write it without Rico thinking he'd gone insane (and with what happened to Sonny, I didn't want to go down that road), but then the characters presented the scene to me and it turned out to be easy.

It really has been a long time coming! (ironically, that's the title of the original fic).

But it's still peak season at work, and finding time to write is hard. 😢

Current Mood: excited

Summary:

Annie and Mary say good-bye before Little Rock

Remember Who You Are

It wasn't that Annie didn't like Mary. Far from it, given their lives kept tangling. Annie was one of the only ones who didn't think the girl should be pushed to be white. Every time she thought about Mary and Elias, she did feel uneasy, as something lingered in the dark of the night about the pair.

"Mary."

"Annie."

Now why was the girl already on the defensive, unless…

"Are you needing my special tea, honey?"

Annie watched the defensive give way to worry, then embarrassment, before Mary shook her head.

"I know what not to do, thank you," Mary said firmly.

"Good." Annie beckoned her to come into the house so she could keep working. "Was surprised to see you out here."

"Wanted to say goodbye, given you've been around for so much of my life. Mama — I don't suppose you'll keep an eye on her for me?"

"I'll do the best I can, but she's always thought I was a devil tempting her milk-son."

Mary laughed, bitterly. "She's got too much church in her, but it would mean a lot."

Annie nodded to all that, trying to ferret out if the shadows on their lives, cast by the twins, was all that had ever unnerved her about Mary. Nothing was stirring in her second sense of people, so maybe she'd have to try harder with a ritual later.

"I try to keep an eye on all of our people, Mary. Even when they shun me for being what I am." She then tipped her head to the side. "Little Rock calling?"

Mary looked down, then back up with resolve. "Stack thinks it's for the best, fresh start where no one ever knew me in the black community."

"You keep yourself safe, Mary, and remember, always, who you are."
