Don't know if you're still doing the WIP sampler basket thing, but I'd love to know what They Shoot Maidens, Don't They? is about

Thank you for the ask! I’m doing memes and tags whenever so long as anyone cares to ask.

“They Shoot Maidens, Don’t They?” is probably the darkest fic idea I’ve ever had, so nihilistic that I doubt I could finish it. But the ANGST! And the wardrobe aesthetic! It hits a lot of buttons for me.

It’s an AU in the fantastic nightmare calling itself the movie They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? Broke people participate in a grueling dance marathon during the Great Depression. Look at Jane Fonda and tell me that’s not female Jaime!

Here’s an excerpt:

Jaime eyed his prospects. Slim pickings. He’d had a good filly in Handsy Hildy. She was...vigorous. She could keep up. Not everyone could go the distance. It was just his luck that she’d settled down with that grocer. He thought he saw a tear slip from her eye as she gave him one last grope for the road. 
Sex sold, Jaime knew that from personal experience. But a pretty face wouldn’t put a jingle in his pocket and that was all he had an appetite for these days. Over by the stage, a girl with curls in her hair and curves to fill out her skirts but her eyes weren’t right. Not hungry enough. Coming out of the ladies was a short little thing with the coldest eyes of grey that he’d seen in a minute and he gave her a think. One more look had set his mind straight: wolves might share with their pack, but a lone wolf was too unpredictable. 
He’d nearly taken his chances with the curvy dish when he spotted the one, the dark horse all the lesser men would miss. Hell, he’d nearly passed her up for a man in his survey of the room but her braided hair gave her away. With shoulders to rival Paul Bunyan, she’d been scooping up dirty dishes into a tub that could double as a tuba case. Her arm moved quick and smooth but not fast enough to hide a slight hitch as she lifted the plates with little piles of potatoes and scraps of roast. A hungry mutt but no wolf and no waif. Jaime straightened his smile and went to catch his lucky break.

Over the hills and far away sounds lovely!

Thank you for the ask!

Hahaha, “Over the hills and far away” is a VERY self-indulgent reworking of The Little Prince (my favorite book of all time) as a post-canon story with Brienne narrating a gentle version of her time with Jaime to a child. 

It is canon-compliant and is my self-therapy to reconcile the ending with my understanding of the characters. I imagine it would be of interest to 1.5 people.

Here’s an excerpt anyway:

Maesters and men love titles. They never ask “what color were his eyes in the flickering fire of the mummers? What was his favorite sword strike? Why did his smile cut so?” They ask only what battles did he win, how much did his father make, what vows did he lose along the way?

Ooh, I'd love to hear more about your Good Place au Karma is a Ladder

Thank you for the ask!

This might be the wip I am most likely to finish because I actually know where I want to go with it. The biggest obstacle is I keep wobbling on whether on I want to go modern AU on it (easier) or canon era (more thematically on point to what I want to do.)

What you need to know: Jaime and Brienne are the “soulmates” in The Good Place, Varys= Michael, Bran= Janet

*********************

The man took a long look at her. His initial surprise settled into something more angular; his brow smoothed to become a punctuation of the cynical twist of his mouth. 

“Yeah, ok,” the man snorted. Brienne did not know why she’d thought the afterlife would bring her a relief from judgment.

WIP sampler basket: a meme for people with too many WIPS!

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and interests you and I’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it!

I was tagged by the inimitable @littledeconstruction and look, I have way too many titles dreamed up. It’s my favorite part and frequently about as far as the idea has gotten. So here are just a few where I have actually written some paragraphs:

Tagging @ilikeblue, @angelowl-fics, if they feel like it

Holy crap, I got tagged.

Tagged by @ajoblotofjunk ! Rules: If you’re tagged, post the last 7 sentences of the last WIP you worked on and tag 7 more people to keep the challenge going, if you’d like.

To avoid spoilers, I'll give you 7 lines of the next chapter of "Keep Time on Me":

The Woman gave him a slight shove into the passenger seat, then shushed him as she struggled to raise the corvette’s roof panel. He let her fumble for a very entertaining few moments before leaning across her lap to hit the button hidden under the dash. The jack-o-lantern crevices of her face smoothed into soft focus under the retractable eclipse; Jaime waggled his eyebrows at her until she grunted in disgust and shoved him off.
Rubbing his arm at the site of the emerging bruise, he laughed as she tried to get her blush under control. Jaime was beginning to see why he liked her.
“You’re an ass.”
Jaime gasped in faux horror. “Language, madam! I am but a mere child!”

Given that I am not sure I know 7 people who definitely write fic, I'll tag @littledeconstruction, @nossbean, @seethemflying, @tall-wolf-of-tarth, and @ilikeblue. If you follow me and write fic, come yell at me in my ask box and tell me where I can enjoy your stuff.

Tyrion has a hangover. Jaime's had a makeover. Brienne is here to hang them out to dry.

First time posting to Ao3. Let’s see how it goes.

@littledeconstruction encouraged me but she is otherwise blameless,

Fic: Favors the Brave (1/1) [Jaime x Brienne, Tyrion]

Posting so that I don’t chicken out of cleaning it up and posting to AO3 later

“WHAT DID YOU DO???”

Tyrion lifted his head muzzily from his desk to see Fury incarnate hovering over him. 

Like every true sinner, a part of Tyrion had known that there would be a day of reckoning. What was a thrill without the threat of danger?

Though he had rather imagined his headsman resembling his father, not this...gargoyle having a bad hair day? Tyrion squinted with heroic effort but the haze of a proper hangover won. 

"TYRION, WAKE UP, DAMN IT!"

Hmm, the sound of the Fury seemed familiar. Was it an ex? Gods, he hoped he wasn't so cliche. That would be humiliating. Wasn't his type more backstabber than frontstabber? 

Who else, who else? He had always thought there was something off about Varys…

No, wait it was Brienne Tarth.

In which I take Game of Thrones and The X-Files, throw it in a blender, and see what comes out.  I have too many ideas for this universe and no talent for plot, so I will probably toss this for a loose combination of vignettes. If I ever finish the thing.

Jaime didn’t know what the hell he was doing in this frozen wasteland. Lannisters were meant for arbor gold, not the arctic cold currently diminishing his anatomical gifts.
Like every waking moment of the last 4 months, it was a fucking cosmic joke.
Jaime had a keen sense of humor but even his habitual smirk freezing on his face. He glared at the towheaded giant who didn’t even know she was a punchline. Brienne Tarth. The abominable snow wench who had dragged him here.
*********************************************
It had been meant to be a simple assignment. One last chance at pleasing Tywin before disinheritance had become a reality rather than an ever threatening cloud on the horizon. Assistant Director Baelish may have been the messenger but Jaime knew his father pulled the strings.
In truth, he hadn’t asked many questions. There was a wench in the basement. A hulking pain in the ass of the FBI brass.
Brienne had been a diversity hire with a distant family connection to Senator Baratheon. No one had expected much of her. The summa cum laude degree from Gullstown, her impressive firing range scores, and terrifying manhandling of her fellow trainees at the Citadel had misled her into thinking herself a field agent.
Her face and wardrobe made it clear to anyone with an ounce of political acumen that a paper cut was as close as she would get to the action.
***********************************************
But then Senator Baratheon’s younger brother had started getting threats signed by the “Warriors of Flame and Shadow.” The general consensus was that it was some religious whackjob. No one had cared enough to keep Tarth off the investigative detail and her family connection put her on the scene when Renly Baratheon was gutted like a stag by a “shadow.”
Her wailing about this “shadow” killer would have been a perfect way to proclaim her hysterical and boot her from the bureau. She should have been another warning tale of a rookie agent who couldn’t handle the big show. But she wouldn’t shut up.
They couldn’t disappear her: no one who had seen her freakish form could forget her. Her superiors had labeled her hopelessly taciturn and awkward. But for Renly she sang like a canary to every news station in town.
She was dogged, tireless, and worst of all, she was right.
