;A; Why do you hate Expo 67? I’ll never get it done if we keep talking!

The note said nothing but ‘Thank you!”, and yet Jane knew exactly who it was from. It wasn’t just that this, particular, brand of cramped handwriting was well known in the states. Of those family and acquaintances who liked Alex enough to send him a gift (there weren’t many), most had given up trying to meet his...

Headcanon: Oliver is a mysophobe. Ilan is not.
*****
Oliver always found the whole idea of ‘the smell of men’ to be annoying. He kept himself groomed, with exfoliating soaps and just the lightest splash of fine cologne. His apartment stayed polished and maintained, the carpets deodorized and vacuumed until even the smell of cat (so fierce in other homes) was delicate and...

standardizedbogey replied to your post: Alex did his job, Oli is sending all sorts of pretentious thanks now
As usual, it’s Jane who has to suffer for this. They can’t let the cheese go bad, because it’s so pricy, but at the same time all the pretentiousness makes her long for Velveeta. Nobody ever knows, though, so it’s ok.

AU: Contingency Plan (2 of 2)
Joel crashed in the room they’d rented after his property damage was completed for the night. Jean, immediately, clamped a pillow over his head and muttered to block the snoring out. The combination of noise, and concern if they’d even be allowed to leave with the bill they’d racked up, Oliver didn’t sleep much that night.
For different reasons they were all irritable by the next morning, and...

You know what I do when I have a really really shitty shitacular day? I cry. And then I write smut. really, really bad smut. and curl up on the couch and watch Dowtan Abbey.
But first, smut. smut, with no editing, because I can’t be bothered right now.

AU: Contingency Plan (1 of 2)
It wasn’t that they spent lavishly. The inns they stayed in were modest, the majority of meals they ate came with the room, and frivialities were bought rarely if ever. That they were, again, in the red wasn’t truly their fault. After all, how were they to know that the one-time hire had no inention (and, seemingly, no ability) to leave them?
Jean winced at the sound of broken glass, and the...

Jane’s hair spread out around her, spilled over the counter and jersey that’d probably be shoved into the corner of her closet as soon as she was capable. A hand emerged from the mess, to keep a white-knuckled grip on her mug.
Alex didn’t know what number beer that was, and she had probably never started counting in the first place.
“Hey… how about we get...
Murder She Wrote is so awful, and it’s the best part of my morning.
It’s beyond that the acting is hilariously bad, the accents are all super fake, and everybody’s hair/clothing is ridiculously 80’s. She’s helped out so much that everyone in this universe is an over-trusting idiot (constantly spilling their deepest secrets to someone they’ve known for a few...

More Expo Idiocy
Papa had laughed, gaily, as De Gaulle and he were escorted off the fair grounds to the sounds of the chaos they’d created. Whether it was for or against, people were whipped into a frenzy that security and police had an incredibly difficult time quieting.
Oliver had said there was something suspicious, when it was made clear that the trip wouldn’t start in Ottawa. Now nobody was...

I don’t know what it is about the history of, and surrounding Quebec, that entertains me so thoroughly. There’s just an “aw, you’ll get ‘em next time” vibe to the whole thing.

Expo Draft 1
I always end up with openings like this in my first drafts. I suppose it works out all the imagery I want, so I can spread it out more naturally in the finished piece, so thank you subconscious.
I guess I can post these here. I always like them, and can’t use them anywhere.

Yes!
The Canucks are gone. No matter what happens next, they left in the first round so the world is a little brighter.
With the Wings, and (hopefully) the Bruins, my trifecta of hatred will all be shot down. It’s a good cup.

“Alfred.”
He pouted, and glared more forcefully at the picture on the wall.
“Alfred, look at me.”
He moved slowly, to make his defiance clear.
“You know better than to do this.”
He scoffed. “Dr. Monroe was doing great in the cancer ward, and you know he was.”
“Dr. Monroe knocked over 6 IV’s, just for...

I just don’t know where to begin with this review.
In this episode, the defendant (or, knowing the character, more likely the defense attorney) decided to use the excuse that he was sending money to Israel to justify the murder he committed. The prosecution correctly pointed out that neither religion nor charity absolved him of guilt, and convicted him. In the end, it was one of dozens of...

AU: Lamb to the Slaughter (3 of 3)
Jean counted the coins that he’d taken, and neatly laid them out to defrost in the sun. Whether he was happy, satisfied, or disappointed with the amount was impossible to tell. His mouth didn’t as much as twitch.
Anyway, he seemed far more interested in the delicate hand motions and soft chanting that Oliver used to heal Joel’s injuries. The intensity he put into the stare had Oliver more than...

It was supposed to be a 2 part thing, but I’m awful.

They’d been commissioned to find a plate. They assumed it was golden, or enchanted, or something of the sort considering what they were being paid so much to retrieve it. Or, perhaps he was just paying for the fact that the plate was (possibly) behind the guard of a dragon. The client didn’t seem to be positive it’d be...

Head canon: Oliver had a stupid puberty.

Oliver was sure that something was wrong with him. Suddenly he was out of place in his own body, awkward and uncomfortable in ways he couldn’t explain or (often) put his finger on. Out of nowhere, he woke up in a bed soaked with sweat with bizarre images hanging in his head.
He was sick, he supposed, but it wasn’t the normal sort. ...

Hossa was taken out in a stretcher, of course no penalty is called. The Yotes are giggling like assholes from their bench, and I hope they go down hard this game.
Thankfully, Towes and Crawford are taking care of that. Torres needs to face some serious punishment, once this is reviewed. This is the third time, and definitely his most vicious.

AU: Lamb to the Slaughter (1 of 3)
The biggest irony of the AU is that the story that I’m writing, now, is crucial. Not only is it a large part of Joel’s back story, but it’s also a major plot point to the entire world we’ve created. And, yet, we’ve never actually played this one out. We’ve talked about it extensively, yes, but for all the retcon and flashbacks we’ve done this never made...
