Considering I spend so much time there nowadays, I figured I'd better make myself a fannish tumblr.

So if you feel like following me, go here. It will probably be a lot of gifs and flailing and me writing in all caps and having epic feelings. Because on tumblr, that is basically how I roll.

I'll probably also put up unfinished writing that is destined for abandonment or is terrible or both. And I'll answer questions! If for some reason people feel the need to ask them.

This might be a terrible plan. But let's go with it! Yes.

Long time, no see.

I am, in fact, alive. And term has begun again! I am excited because the summer was kind of desolate and boring and I need structure in my life.

And I, uh, have a request to make: I need help in finishing this thing that I've owed nightrider101 since the beginning of this year, because dammit I don't know how to go on, and what's more, my spn muse has completely run dry. So to any of you who are still avid fans and can instill me with your enthusiasm, I would appreciate anything from a cheerleader to a beta reader. It's about wings and profound bonds and also some problematic rips in reality that happen after the apocalypse-that-wasn't. I have a little over 7k written out of probably 10k total, which is way more than I was planning on doing, but apparently I'm incapable of writing anything less than weirdly convoluted plotty things or something? I think I'm going to post the first half of it very soon, with the hopes that this will pressure me into finishing the rest of it in something resembling a timely manner. But seriously, I keep staring at it, willing words to appear, but they just don't. So...yeah. Help?

On the flip side, though, I have been sucked into loving the Avengers hard core. I don't really read comics all that often, but I am totally behind the films and it's making me take Wikipedia crash courses on the the canon material like woah. Seriously, this movie has already ruined me, and it hasn't even come out yet. As a result, I am utterly lost to Steve/Tony right now. It's a disease, almost as bad as Charles/Erik, except worse because whereas Charles and Erik make me want to write them into badass adventures, Steve and Tony make me want to just read utter sap about how they made up after Civil War and got married and fought crime together. Argh. Stop it you bastards I hate you. Also my personal theme song for them is now 'Teenage Dream' because Tumblr is a terrible influence on me and I am a terrible person and it makes me laugh uncontrollably. STEVE IS TOTALLY TONY'S TEENAGE DREAM, DON'T DENY. Oh god this journal must never become connected to me in real life or I will have to change names and move to a different country again.

Title: On the Wings of War
Author: Alchemy Alice
Genre and/or Pairing: AU Apocafic, Dean/Castiel
Word Count: ~82,000
Rating: R for language, violence
Spoilers: Up to approximately 5.14, and then things diverge…dramatically.
Warnings: Copious gore, transformation, blasphemously inaccurate appropriation of Revelations and Lovecraftian horrors, oh my! I like my Apocalypse like I like my coffee—dark, and filtered with the blood of my enemies.

 

Dammit, why can't I write the things I'm actually supposed to be writing? This might be totally out of character and silly. But my brain wouldn't let me do anything else until I finished it. So there you are. I suppose I did say that I wanted to write something fluffy after the sheer angst of 'Intervention', but still. STOP TAKING OVER MY BRAIN, X-MEN, I NEED TO FINISH MY THESIS CHAPTER.

On the flip side, I just need to turn everyone's attention for one moment to Texts from Xavier Academy. 

I think I'm actually crying from laughing so hard.

Sample: 


...anyway. I'ma go work on my thesis now.

Title: On the Wings of War
Author: Alchemy Alice
Genre and/or Pairing: Action/Adventure/Horror, Dean/Castiel
Rating: R for violence
Warnings/Spoilers: Up to 5.14-ish.
Disclaimer: The characters and the sandbox in which they play does not belong to me. I am simply borrowing for a short time.
Summary: The Horsemen are not just people with fancy rings. They aren’t even demons with fancy rings. They are another species entirely, a force unto themselves, and Lucifer is kidding himself if he thinks that they are at his beck and call. They are separate. They are neutral. Dean Winchester is not built like them.

Someone made a trailer for Dies Irae. Holy shit. 

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS. WHAT. I CAN'T EVEN. 

I'm utterly speechless. This thing is beautiful. Thank you, afaviva, you have made my entire week. It is just fantastic and epic and amazing and I love it to pieces.

You can watch the video here. Go and leave some love, because I don't have a YouTube account to do it. It's ridiculously perfect and I am so, so flattered that it exists. Sometimes, the internet yields wondrous things, and this is definitely one of those times.
