Friending? Hi! Do drop in to say what brings you here.

As of September '09 I have relocated to Dreamwidth. It's shiny here!

A masterlist of all my fanworks can be found here.

My policy on permissions for use of my work is that you don't in fact need my permission to make art, record podfic, remix, critique, translate, save, share or otherwise reuse and interact with anything I've done. I'd love it if you'd share a link with me when you're done, however!

My policy on warnings is that I will endeavour to clearly signpost fanworks of mine that others may find triggering. Elements that I will warn for in my work include consent issues, whether real or part of a roleplaying scenario, 'on screen' major character death, substance abuse and themes of depression/self-harm/suicide. If anyone has doubts about whether or not they can safely view anything I've done, please contact me.

If you want to get in touch with me for any reason, you can PM me or email me at such.heights at gmail dot com.

So I finally watched Captain America tonight (short version: EEE I LOVE EVERYONE) and am thus caught up on nearly all of the Avengers films, hurray.

So, lend me your Captain America & Avengers movieverse fanwork recs! I would love Steve character studies because hello, narrative kinks of personal transformation and displacement and quiet loss. (Oh, Steve!) Shipping wise, anything works for me - I know Steve/Tony is super popular but given I don't read the comics I may need a little convincing still. All I know is he is super adorable with both Bucky (I need to catch up on musesfool's fic there) and Peggy.

Speaking of, PEGGY CARTER. GIVE ME YOUR RECS. Actually, yes, any and all women-centric Avengers fanworks will be cherished deeply. Gen, femslash, het, anything you like. I love them all so much and am sad that so few of them will show up in the Avengers film next year.

SUPERHEROES YAY.

The Secret I Have Found
Doctor Who RPF ; Arthur/Karen/Matt ; PG-13 ; 4000 words ; no content notes ; also at the AO3
In which Matt, Karen, and Arthur go down the pub, eat bacon, and occasionally make some TV.

Written for pocketmouse as a treat for 3_ships. Many thanks to purplefringe for staying up to beta this approx. five hours before the deadline! The Cookie Jar collection hasn't de-anon'd yet on the AO3, but as authors in the main fest are revealed I suspect I'm good to go. Also this is the least anonymous I've been in some time. *g*

( About to start driving over from Brumland now. Kaz is on a train but probably won't get in until later tonight. You, us, beer, yes? )

Some Doctor Who recs:

Vid: What I Like About You by humansrsuperior (Doctor Who RPF, Matt, Karen & Arthur)
MADE. OF. SQUEE. omg stupid faces and bouncy behind the scenes fun and eeeee.

Fic:

when I come to terms with this by wishfulaces (Amy/Rory, River, Eleven)
It’s a sort of fairy tale, if you squint right.

This breaks my heart a little then puts it back together in the best way.

Time and Company by anonymous at 3_ships (Amy/Eleven/Rory)
A simple night out is never simple.

*_* This story brings me great joy.

that ring, sitting under the bench in the hall by bendingwind (Amy/Rory)
Rory proposes to Amy three times.

This is SUPER CUTE and probably pretty much how it went.

The Many-Worlds of Amelia Pond by snowdarkred (Amy gen)
There’s only so much about Amelia Pond that can be explained by a tear in time and space.

Thoughtful, lovely character study about how Amy's life doesn't make any sense and that's okay. <3

Playing Gods by miscellanny (Doctor Who/Good Omens crossover, Eleven & The Them)
He smiled one of his very best smiles at the girl - Pepper, that was it. He found himself liking her in spite of her scowl; there was something vaguely Pondish in the way she folded her arms.

This is a really lovely scene set after 6x12 with excellent merging of the two canons.

Art: little versions of the girl who waited, the boy who waited, and their raggedy doctor. by lisavillella

THIS COULD NOT BE ANY CUTER. AHHHH.

part two: picspam of joy, forthcoming.

Three ficlets written over at pocky_slash's New Year's Eve party.

raise your glass
Doctor Who ; Amy/Rory, Doctor/River, Martha/Mickey ; PG ; 1000 words ; no content notes ; also at the AO3
Three New Year's Eves: 1999, 2011, and 2734.

Amy and Rory being bffs with Martha and Mickey is an idea borrowed from coffeesuperhero's Family Pond-verse. Title and cut text from Regina Spektor.

ah, that time again, when I get to make lots of lists in the name of record-keeping. :D I am currently spamming tumblr with my favourite characters of this year, which so far include Abed Nadir, Amy Pond, Annie Sawyer, Caroline Forbes, and Diana Barrigan. :D

A meme from musesfool:

Your main fandom of the year?

Doctor Who, obviously. I'm not sure, maybe I was like this in Torchwood or Merlin at some point, but it certainly feels like this is the most mono-fannish I've been since way back in the day in HP. In terms of fannish output it probably is, though I've been reading in a few different fandoms, as ever.

The Ponds have definitely moved my Who fannishness up a few notches, and it was high before! I just love them lots and their story arc is one that brings out that 'make all the fanworks' bug in me, which I predict will continue next year.

Your favorite film you watched this year?

I loved Thor a whole lot I have to say. Thor! Jane! Darcy! Sif! Yay! :D (I enjoyed Loki lots as well, but I don't seem to have latched onto him the way a lot of the fandom did.)

Your favorite book read this year?

I finally got around to reading Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint and loved it tremendously. And yes, Privilege of the Sword is now on my to-read list.

Your favorite tv show of the year?

Doctor Who aside, Community has continued to light up my life.

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?

I've been enjoying getting into the Marvel movie-verse I must say.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?

Although I'd already stopped being that invested in Merlin anyway, this season has ended up making me sad.

Your fiction boyfriend of the year?

ABED NADIR, BE MY BFF. I cannot even with his wonderfulness. *_* Also hi, Rory Pond, hi, I enjoy your face.

Your fiction girlfriend of the year?

Lots, as ever! Amy Pond, Diana Barrigan, Olivia Dunham, River Song, Annie Edison, Guinevere, and to be honest, Korra even from the tiny bits of trailer we've seen. :D

Your biggest squee moment of the year?

Meeting Karen Gillan. Twice. \o/ She is made of magic, I swear.

Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?

AVATAR: LEGEND OF KORRA. AVENGERS. HOBBIT. DOCTOR WHO S7. I think it's going to be fun! I also need to catch up on Fringe and start watching Parks & Recreation.

I'm also excited about Korra and Avengers because hopefully it'll mean I'm crossing fannish paths again with people who I don't share fandoms with right now. Come join me in the build up to Korra particularly, there is a good chance it will be relevant to your interests!

From Yorkshire, With Love
Harry Potter ; Remus/Sirius ; PG-13 ; no content notes ; 1800 words ; also at the AO3
"You're not the one who's going to be spending the next two weeks trekking around the Yorkshire Moors looking for werewolf encampments."

Written for onehundredmoons at rs_small_gifts. Many thanks to liseuse for the beta! My annual contribution of R/S Christmas fluff.

The war didn't stop for Christmas. No one had really thought that it would.
