Candyhearts exchange!

Sat, 18 Feb 2023 05:52:42 GMT

I got two brilliant presents for the candyheartsex exchange! :D

The first is a lovely set of vignettes describing the writer Voltaire and his partner in Enlightenment, Émilie du Châtelet, who was an awesomely cool scientific thinker whom I had never heard of before getting into this fandom. (The endnote says a little more about her.) You could read this knowing nothing about Émilie but in that case I suspect it would help to know a little about Voltaire -- just knowing he was a famous snarky writer is probably good enough; this story would be appropriate background.

Summary:

The first time she kisses him, it’s partly to shut Voltaire up. How two people of genius fell in love and tried to live with each other for two decades.

The second follows John Sheridan and Elizabeth Lochley through their long relationship, briefly romantic but mostly not, before she comes to Babylon 5, and is everything I had wanted for these characters and their relationship -- this is becoming my headcanon for Sheridan and Lochley <3

Dear chocolate box creator,

Thank you for writing for me! I am very excited to get anything from any of these fandoms :D Feel free to use your own ideas or prompts — I love seeing how other people think about my favorite fandoms, and I love seeing interpretations that are different from mine (some of my favorite fics are the ones that made me look at things in a new way). Also, please don't read anything into the amount of stuff I have written for each fandom; I would be extremely pleased to receive anything for any of these, otherwise I would not have requested them.

( General: )

Canons:

( Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga )

( Les Contes d'Hoffman - Offenbach/Barbier )

( Simon Boccanegra )

( Un Ballo in Maschera - Verdi )

( Portal (Video Game) )

Chocolate box reveal

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 05:45:15 GMT

Someday I will post about a fic that isn't canon-divergence fix-it fic, but today is not that day.

I didn't actually sign up for Chocolate Box, but categranger had this really awesome letter and I am already sort of obsessed with Eugene Onegin, and, well, I ended up writing a Eugene Onegin treat. And then I ended up writing a sequel to the treat. The original treat is basically pure opera (I even kind of imagine them singing it), but the sequel, which is a series of letters between Onegin and Tatyana, is much more Pushkin-based because it required a lot more worldbuilding which was already present in Pushkin (though I always also tried to stay true to the opera, and in particular the character of Olga is more opera-flavored than Pushkin-flavored).

The second fic is probably readable without reading the first, only knowing that it is in fact a canon-divergent AU, with the details of the divergence gradually revealed as the fic goes on.

The point of divergence is — well, okay, this owes a debt to Pushkin too. In Pushkin, he says Tatyana doesn't know about the duel, and even goes so far as to ask whether she might have stopped it had she known. And categranger also pointed up the duel as, gosh, if only it could be fixed — and, well, so.
