The Mouse's Roar

So since fst is a member-locked community, I thought I would pimp the soundtrack I made for my Ordinary fic arc here on my journal as well. This has been 6 years in the making, people!! Thank god for Anything Goes Month! (Also, many thanks go to coley_merrin and
zapenstap  who checked out the tracklist for me and helped me figure out which songs should be included in this monster ^^)


( Is this considered gratuitous self-pimpage? )</div>

from adaon6 - Character: Duo, Word: Hug

It’s like a scene from a half-remembered dream; he recalls the scent of candles and incense and that musty smell you can only find in the wooden pews of an old church. He remembers the feeling of warm limbs wrapped in layers and layers of cloth enveloping him, creating a cocoon of safety, protection and love; at once trapping him and rescuing him into their folds.

He wonders now if it’s a real memory or only a wish, a conjured image to help him through the wars and their aftermath. He compares the feeling of holding this petite and fragile woman to that image in his mind, notes the differences and wonders again. How strange to be able to embrace someone so completely, to wrap his hands around her and find that they overlap. How odd that this time he is the one enveloping her and still the cocoon he creates covers him as well; in safety, protection and love.

I'm still taking prompts here!

gotta keep that brain pumping!

woohoo second drabble in 48 hrs!! again for 31_days but this time a Relena-centric one! So I know you'll all enjoy ^_~

follow the fake cut

in other news, i've been reading a lot of poetry by Rumi lately... he really had a way with words.. i was able to hunt down the original persian so i could get a feel for the rhythm as well as the meaning.. it's been a fun project during my home-bound fortnight..

I've also finally gotten around to finishing up the first season of FMA!  I actually stopped watching a couple episode after Maes died so it's been nice to catch up!  Though I've already been spoiled for most of the big plot points... my next project is to watch the end of Wolf's Rain.. I think I was 4 or 5 episodes away from the final ep and it got licensed.  I didn't enjoy the dub enough to watch religiously.  Actually the only dubs that ever really hooked me (other than GW of course) were Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.

yay for having the time to enjoy my life again! work really sucks the fun out of living >_< if only i didn't have to worry about money

after 2 days of non-stop fun with

coley_merrin  and crystaltear  i finally have some time to update! tho not about our funtimes yet, since none of us have uploaded pics yet :-P

however! i have written drabble!fic over at 1xr for adaon  's Summer Camp... which was very satisfying to do after so many months of not writing anything... my entry is here

i have also jumped on the bandwagon and done the personality meme ...which i discovered was just a variation of Meyers-Briggs, in which I am usually ENTP... so on that one i get this pretty button
 
 
and i'm compatible with all yous so far ;)

 

 

so you guys remember my first and only fic? well i was browsing some fanart from a link posted at 1xr and i saw this pic:

 

which totally reminded me of a scene from my old fic.. so i went back to read it... and cringed... and then thought about re-writing or at least editing some of the really bad parts...and then cringed again (since i'm the laziest person alive) 

but i thought i'd share the memories with other ppl who have read the fic... and share the pic with everyone who can appreciate the hotness that is heero yuy...

so what if i'm a day late? it's a new year ..i could say it in march and it'd still be true! :-P

so time for some random rambling...

i was watching 'the usual suspects' the other day and was thinking of (what else?) the Gundam Wing character parallels... i mean 5 ex-cons working together? the main guy who is (rather mysteriously badass and) in love with an idealistic blonde lawyer?? the connection is TOTALLY there.. except quatre could never be kaiser soze and heero can't die at the end, of course... funniest moment for me was picturing wufei as benicio del toro's character... ::dies again at the thought of it::

in other news, i'd like to welcome zapentap to the world of LJ.. we were waiting for you to come on board, missy!

and loycie, i'm writing you a drabble.. soon i hope... the premise is a little risque so i'm having trouble finding time to work on it without family members or co-workers popping by to see what i'm working on... bleh.. how do you get time to work on your citrus delights??

and vi, i caught an ep of 'phil of the future' today and i'm totally feeling the phil/keely love... know of any fluffy future fics where keely's a big time reporter out in the real world? i could totally see her doing it...

ok...that's a good first post of the year... over and out, babes!

These are for my new friend mellie (thanx violetfairygirl for helping me discover this fellow 1xR/Royai fan!)

( the presents!! )

I don't know how many of you guys know about 31_days but it's a comm for writing drabbles based on the theme for a given day of the month...I missed posting for the Aug 5 theme so i thought i'd post it here instead..

 ( Aug 5, Theme: a boy (Gundam Wing) )

and in case you're curious, here are my entries for the previous themes:

Aug 1, Theme: Be indomitable, o my heart (Emma)

Aug 2, Theme: A school of morality (Eternal Sabbath) <---dedicated to smartycat and grandlarseny

Aug 3, Theme: Like Hamlet (Cowboy Bebop) <---dedicated to cute_nessie fellow Spike/Julia fan

Aug 4, Theme: She left her life on Monday (Howl's Moving Castle) <---dedicated to coley_merrin of course, 'cause she made me watch the movie (which is awesome and i totally recommend it)

the think i like about this comm is that it makes me write outside my comfort zone (i.e. the GW fandom) and the themes are complicated and challenging... you guys should all give it a try, it's fun!

ok so i posted this on </a></b></a>het_romance already.. but thought i should put it here as well for archiving purposes and well not all of u ppl r on that comm, and how dare i deny you the utter pointlessness of this fic...?

Title: The Freshmen (based on the song by The Verve Pipe, not a song fic tho)
Author: Miaka Mouse <?__)~
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Pairing: the only explicit one is probably 2xH, but other pairings implied 
Rating: R
Warnings: major major angst fic, deathfic (and that's an understatement), profanity that would make a sailor blush (ok maybe not but still..alot), some ooc-ness because i made them go through a lot in two yrs after the series ended, done for the "Reunion" challenge on </a></b>het_romance

( the angstiest angst fic that ever angsted )</font>

</font></font>

and a prologue!

i jus wanted to post it once on LJ before i go to FFN, jus in case there are some glaring mistakes that i missed...

( prologue to the companion fic that i've been working on for way too long )

at least we got some heero and relena in, eh?

I don't know where this came from... it was supposed to be about something else entirely, but this came out... not sure what to do with it... any suggestions would be muchly appreciated

Some people liken love to an affliction; a malady that reveals itself with constant and bothersome symptoms that can never be truly cured.  For Relena, love was a matter of fact, a characteristic in and of herself.  In the same way she knew her hair was honey blonde and her eyes were sky blue, she knew she loved Heero Yuy.

Sometimes, she wasn't even conscious of it.  It had become such a part of her.  Like a person who wears glasses doesn't see the border of their frames when they look out into the world, and even when they aren't wearing them, their hands come to the bridge of their nose to push their spectacles up, her love for him was just something that was there.

The people who knew often wondered why she never did anything about it, as if it were a hair out of place or a missing button.  But to her, this emotion was the same as any other emotion.  When she felt happy, nothing had to be done about it per se, nor did there even have to be a specific impetus for that feeling to come about in the first place.  So why should love be any different?

 

ok before we hit midnite lemme jus say a quick happy b-day to _kmf_ ... hope it was a good one!

ok so i've been watching the democratic national convention since last nite... is it weird that i enjoy speeches this much?  ( gushing over speakers )

hey anybody remember my OC GW fic?  that horrible attempt at making original characters... well it's back! sort of... i mean to say that i'm working on it again... haven't really touched it since last yr... i have been so non-productive these past few months (save jen's b-day ficlet)

anyway was having a convo with cute_nessie earlier and she asked me what i was working on fic-wise...and sonce this is the last thing i worked on i mentioned it and since she got me thinking about it again i said hey, why not give this another try...

so we have the prologue

and then the scene that sort of explains my plot

and now... the ( newer stuff )

so i was gonna try and write (or at least start) that blind relena fic that you wanted, jen but i wrote something else instead..

so in honor of ur 21st birthday (u finally caught up to me!)

i humbly (and belatedly) offer you:

( Three Wishes )

i dunno if anyone who reads my xanga reads this as well but in case anyone was wondering about doberman man i talked to him.. and it was..interesting... he's very intrusive... seems to be on a mission to save me from my beliefs... dunno what to think about that... otherwise..he's jus as smart and quirky as i remember... i'm proceeding with caution...

in other news... i am still updating my drabbles on FFN... and i am still writing more! here's a peep:

Sunrise

Theme: Heero’s first…
1xR
word count: 101

The change that overtook his face was almost immediate. It was like watching the sunrise. Seeing the glow of the horizon in his striking blue eyes, waiting and knowing that something bright and beautiful would appear if she only waited a moment.

A gleam in his eye, a softening of his features, a curve of his lips... and there it was. Something that took her breath away.

It was the first time Heero had ever really smiled at her.

And like the pink clouds that embrace the dawn, she wrapped her arms around him and touched that smile with her own.

also trying to fight fic ideas as i have many projects already in progress as everyone must know by now as i have been repeating my fic woes ad nauseum...

also, have been behind on quizzes... anyone got any good ones to reccommend?

so.. as i mourn the absence of my dear raine_mystique i've decided to post a snippet of my OC GW fic... since she liked it so much... i've promised to finish it before she gets back... took me 2 yrs to finish my other fic... maybe it's wishful thinking to attempt to finish in 3 months...

anyway... ( here it is )

wrote some more of that OC GW fic... i really need to think of a title for that thing... and! i'm getting to know the characters a little bit better... which can only be a good thing...

in other news... i have decided to post my drabbles on FFN.. seeing that they all happen to feature relena in one way or another i thought i could get away with putting them together... go todrabbles here

i really do enjoy writing these things... so much so that i'd like to take requests... gimme a pairing or any sort of inspiration on a series i've seen and i'll write it..

here's a sample so people have an idea of what they're getting...

Silence

Theme: a fight…
1xR
word count: 100!

They stared at each other in terrifying silence, anger and indignation swirling in their eyes as they stood frozen in their glares. Relena's hand grazed the partially open door as Heero stayed firmly beside the table. His eyes were steeled in obstinacy, a thin sheet barely masking his fears. Hers stayed a steady raging blue, her hand clenching around the doorknob hinting at her desperation.

Still, neither spoke.

Not until she walked out and slammed the door behind her, not until he hurled the lamp on the table at the mockingly closed door, did they finally break the silence.

would you believe i started a new fic? what the hell?????!!!! after all that griping about how many projects i have, i start a new one... it's friggin killing me... i feel like i'm in a plot bunny stampede...

the worst part is that this newest one is prob not gonna be all that good... it's an idea that's been done a million times by authors who are waaaaaay better writers than me... but the words come... so i have to put them down... who knows? maybe the twists i have in mind will be good enough...

( have a peek )

u guys really rock.. i'm so glad i decided to post my roughs up here because the comments ur offering really get me thinking about how to write... ok so i'm gonna try to get out of this detached pov and see if i can get into a limited perspective of the boy's... i'm gonna try to write some more interaction with the outside world once i get some good inspiration..

we're finally gonna see why i keep calling this a GW fic... and u get a little peek into the plot...

( read! )

well actually not really ignoring since i did actually make it my subject heading...

anyway... no biggie... i realize that i am a newbie to the LJ...err...circle... and that snippet was a little sappy...

so here's another snippet... from the same fic... and fast forward about ( 5 or 6 years later )
