It's been a weird few months, lots of family stuff and health issues that are too dull to share, just time-consuming and anxiety-inducing, not least because surviving on less than 1% of my usual internet access is stupidly hard :D But things seem to be going smoothly again now, so I'll catch up with fandom and fan_flashworks shortly. I hope.

The one thing that did happen is I had a painting in an exhibition for the first time, which was exciting enough. But it also sold, which I really didn't expect. I don't think I'd even taken a photo of it all properly framed!

Title: Examination
Fandom: Hannibal (TV)
Pairing: Hannibal/Will
Rating: Mature
Content notes: consensual medical kink, exhibitionism, extra-creepy Dr Sutcliffe. Brief mention of fisting but it doesn't actually happen.
Author notes: For the #justfuckmeup challenge and the medical kink square on my Kink Bingo card. Part of the 'Refuge Ficlets' series but stands alone as well. Huge thanks to victorine for the beta, she is an absolute star!
Summary: Hannibal takes Will to see a doctor when he first diagnoses the encephalitis.

( Examination )

These aren't going on Ao3 as they cover the same ground as stuff in a longer fic I'm working on. It was helpful to work these threads out separately as my brain struggles to know how to approach longer works for various reasons.

Healing - double drabble for the 'whistle' challenge at fan_flashworks. The fic it's sort of part of turned into an exploration of several gender and related masculinity concepts, and the part about Hannibal finding a crappy place for Will to fix up so he doesn't get distracted while Hannibal recovers sort of got lost in that. Also, I have no chance of finishing it before the deadline!

Spontaneous - 300 word side quest fill on fic_promptly. It's a bit sparse, but it was useful having a restriction. This is part of the mildly-genderqueer Will thread in the longer fic.

Afterlife, Alison, Anonymous phone call
Black Sails, Flint/Miranda, Surrender (pegging)
Boondock Saints, evil twin
BtVS, Willow, prepare for the worst
Person of Interest, Shaw/Root, casually cruel
Person of Interest, Shaw, comfort on a lonely night
Scott and Bailey, Janet, I have decided to put myself in charge
Sense8, Kara and Capheus, curled up with a good book
XCOM 2, How did that happen?
XCOM 2, I won't go peaceful

And a couple of original ones based on my own characters from a never-ending NaNoWriMo.

( Drowning on dry land )

I haven't written anything for a while, and I miss it. The plan is to find some prompts/communities that will encourage me to do a little writing at least a few days a week.

My main fandom of choice at the moment is Hannibal. I'm particularly fond of Hannibal/Will, but almost all the characters interest me in some way. Feel free to leave any requests/prompts if you pass by this way and I'll do what I can. I enjoy writing kinks and generally NC-17 rated fics.

I'm also very fond of Shaw/Root from Person of Interest, but may wait until the end of the series before I try writing them.

My third obsession is Daredevil, but I'm not sure I could write anything for that. Maybe once the urge to write lots of Hannibal porn has been sated a little!

And no, the journal name is not remotely related to my fondness for Hannibal Lecter - I promise I can spell!

I don't think I can do a sticky post, so I will add most of this info to the profile.
