Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality

“Once upon a time, there was a death god who religiously watched over a human princess—”

“The princess is a symbol. She is indispensable to him (And to me). He loves her (I love you, Misa).”

“He died for her (As I would die for you). That’s why his notebook belongs to her (Do you want to do this? Throw half your life away in exchange for dead eyes).”

“He (I) would have wanted her to live a happy life (Not a half life, never a half life).”

Story ended: Rem died years ago.

“I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Remix of lye_tea 's Fairytale Floss for remixthedrabble. I like how this one turned out; I basically lifted phrases from the original and changed the context. The original phrases refer to Light/Misa, Misa & Ryuuk etc., but I turned it around, changed the speaker and the story =3

This is...sort of technically pre-femmeslash, I guess?
In Death Note, after the epic Kira/L awesomeness, the OMGSoObvious pairing is Rem/Misa.

Super-quick explanation about the Death Note drabble: ( Spoilery, duh. )

Just got my remixthedrabble assignment (Four remixes, here I come!). So am finally getting around to x-posting some drabbles. And updating my fic masterlist...the next few days.

And hi, I'm back. *waves*

Three crossovers:

1. Like an Onion Inside Out (The Doctor, the Queen, and the TARDIS Remix) by spiralleds
(Narnia/Doctor Who, The Doctor/Susan Pevensie, PG-13)
Summary: Sometimes endings are just the beginning.
Spoilers: Inclusive of the entire Chronicles and through series 4 of the new Doctor Who.
Warning: character deaths, talking animals

Author's meta

Includes Nine, Ten and Thirteen. And it WORKS. Also, even though it's character death, it's Narnia, after all =3

2. Congrats, You've Met Your Match (The Space Captain Remix) by roga
(ST:XI/SGA, Kirk/Sheppard, R, 3000 words)

Ridiculously hot even without the sex. The original reads as the missing sex scene ;-)

3. Ten Synonyms for Sensational (The Dragon/TARDIS Overdub) by nopejr (Doctor Who/HP, Ten, Draco Malfoy, PG)
Summary: The Doctor pouted. Draco wasn't impressed.

Cuuuuuute *_* And funny. With fanartzes!

And three non-crossovers:

1. Still Waters (Hypothetically Speaking Extended Dub) by cimorene [LJ]
(ST:XI, gen, mentioned Spock/Uhura, implied Kirk/Spock, PG)

Author's meta

The original is an always-a-girl!Spock genderbend. The remix is Jim's pov, and his finding out (via his slutty ways myriad charms) that Spock is practically royalty. I love how the remix shows the differences of the Kirk/Spock dynamic when Spock's male instead of female.
tl;dr: Am deeply impressed, read it!

2. Art Appreciation (Boxed Wine and Crackers, or the Decline of Public Funding, Remix) by eyebrowofdoom (Smallville, Clark/Lex, PG)
Summary: If you can do this, you must be morally old enough for a drink.
Spoilers/Warnings: adult themes.

Leeeeeex, you're so cute. Only Lex would have a fantasy life as a starving art student X-D

O/T: In other news, Michael Rosenbaum's Adina/Adam is the only 3-D character in Sorority Boys. I wasn't expecting anything but a stereotypical slapstick comedy (w/ bonus crossdressing Rosenbaum!), so his acting really impressed me =D (believable character, inner conflict, repress repress repress, deny deny deny)
Also, he looks SO YOUNG in that movie.

3. Free Range Subjects (The Scientific Method Remix) by suaine
(Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, R)
Summary: No one ever said science was easy, and alien scientists are only human, after all.
Spoilers and/or Warnings: non-con (an alien made them do it)

It's an AMTDI fic from the aliens' pov =DDD \o/

“A prince’s favour is a precious commodity,” his father once told him before taking his favourite horse away.

Arthur had taken the lesson to heart, doling out equal camaraderie to noblemen’s sons and equal flattery to their daughters.

Except he had slipped horribly—over Merlin, of all people—and it was no use to protest that he’s mine or you gave him to me, because he had not forgotten that Apple was a present when he turned seven.

His father had no rights on his manservant (his friend, his favourite), and still he left marks of possession on Merlin’s skin.

Companion drabble/remix of sophinisba's "Keep Your Head Down" for remixthedrabble.
Audienced by snakeling.

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

Ron would never admit this to anyone, not Harry and certainly not Hermione, but when he was ten he wrote a letter asking for admission to Durmstrang.

He never did send the letter. When the twins scared him with Giant Squid stories, he would picture that letter, tucked away in a chest under his bed with his old teddy.

Once sorted into Gryffindor, he forgot all about the letter until the Durmstrang delegation arrived for the Triwizard tournament.

He wouldn't trade his friendship with Harry for anything, but just imagine: he could've gone to the same school as Viktor Krum!

Remix of velvetmouse's The Letter for remixthedrabble. Audienced by roflolmaomg.

BTW, I think I'll actually enjoy the Ron/Lavender moments in HBP. Remember when your girlfriend would whine about wanting a boyfriend, because they want to feel cherished, etc. etc.? Yeah, getting those vibes from Lavender here.

- Hermione angsting over clueless Ron
- The Liar, the Underage Wizard and the Cabinet =D
- Luna looks even more otherworldly, if that's possible Love the peeling "Slide to open" sticker.

"I shouldn't have kissed you."

"Sorry?"

"I'm sometimes bad at receiving other people's signals. Not as bad as you, obviously—"

Merlin gave Gwen a confused little smile.

"And with what you said about Prince Arthur last night, I realized you only feel that way for one man in particular."

He opened his mouth to ask What way?, but Gwen went on, "I'm glad we can be friends."

She was looking at him with a painfully earnest expression, and he couldn't bring himself to correct her—that this was not the secret that he was keeping from her.

"...Thank you."

Remixed from sophinisba's "Just Friends" for remixthedrabble.
Beta-ed by roflolmaomg and snakeling.

Bonus crack gag reel: ( I wanted to do a plot twist for the remix, but the plot refused to budge. )

1. GIP. zed_pm made it upon my whinging request.
Quote is from ifyouweremine X-D

( Quinto's GOT MILK? ad )

2. I signed up as pinch-hitter for remixredux09. If you love remixing but are iffy about having other people remix your fics, do the same thing ;-)

If you want the full Remix Redux experience sign up here.
Sign-ups are open until 11:59 PM EDT June 6, 2009. Assignments will be handed out by June 13, 2009. Stories (min. 1000 words) are due at 11:59 PM EDT July 12, 2009.

This year you only need a minimum of five 500-word ficlets OR seven 100-word drabbles in one fandom to qualify.
AND! Star Trek: Reboot is one of the fandoms offered =D =D =D

3. nextgen_drabble's voting for Rose and Scorpius is open until Wednesday, 11:59pm EST.
My flopsy is probably pretty obvious =P
My personal fav.s are #4 (Talk Nerdy To Me), which has shy Scorpius, and #7 (Recalled), with some role reversal.
You have to vote for both most & least favourite, or your vote doesn't count.

Speaking of drabbles, I've narrowed down my remixthedrabble assignment to 6 potentially-to-be-remixed fics. Go me! I wonder if I can remix the same drabble twice?

I wanna write more Good Omens drabbles (Seven Deadly Sins--it never gets old). And Merlin. And obviously a Slytherin drabble for the base drabble of the above drabble tree. All roads lead back to Draco Malfoy ;-)

[ LJ | IJ ]

isiscolo's Remixy meta (for remixthedrabble):

The great thing about very short forms is that at their best they concisely express one single idea. A true drabble has to encapsulate set-up, crisis, and punchline in a mere hundred words. So it's a natural transformation, I think, to take a story and distill it into its essence, when one has only a few hundred words to work with - I think it's easier to get sidetracked when you need to write a longer story.

I've signed up both as remixer and remixee =) It's a Drabble Purist Round this time.

If the idea of remixing intrigue you at all, consider offering your fic up to be remixed. You don't have to write anything to have someone else remix your fic. (You only need to have written five drabbles in one fandom to qualify!)

- The sign up to write (remixers)
- The sign up for offering fiction (remixees)

Sign-ups for remixthedrabble are open until midnight Central US time on Monday, May 11th.

1. Vote for your favorite late slytherin100 drabble =D

2. slytherin_100's current prompt, Seal, is open until May 21st. The Fly prompt is open until May 14th. Feel free to combine the two prompts.

1. azephirin's Days for Consideration (The Past, Present, & Future Two-Step)
[Hermione/Draco; PG-13; AU DH]
Original story: A Day for Consideration, by heidi8

“You’re quite fit,” Hermione says, “but you’re not blond enough.”

To his credit, Harry doesn't blink. “I’m not blond at all.”

“No. Malfoy is, though. He’s so very, very blond. An archetype of blond. A caricature of blond. His hair is blond the way mine is curly.” She rolls onto her stomach and rests her head on her arms. She’s comfortable enough; God knows she’s slept on worse.

Harry sighs and sits down next to her. In a moment, she feels his fingers stroking lightly over her French braid. “Are you ever going to tell me about that?”

“About Malfoy's hair? It’s blond. I already said.”

2. florahart's Drunk and Disorderly (the Accidental Relationship Remix) [LJ]
[Hermione/Draco, NC17]
Summary: On waking up together, Draco and Hermione realize the punch clouded their judgment. Soon thereafter, the consequences become clear.
Original story: One Drunken Mistake, by melfinatheblue.

"Malfoy? What are you doing here?"

"That's likely my child, remember? I want to make sure she's healthy."

"She?"

"I'd like a girl. Mother wants a girl too, and father doesn't really care."

Hermione shook her head. "Honestly. Again, I'm not sure how you don't know this, but you don't get to choose, Draco. It's all about what happens in the moment the sperm and egg meet."

"That's ridiculous."
