My in the works post was getting too long and was an obnoxious reblog, so referencing this post, here are some - 

  • quotes indicate working titles

UPDATES:

I plan to update this weekly (if there is anything to update).

Posting Intermittently or on a Schedule:

  • Adjustments - 1 remaining chapter
  • Alliance Decrees - intermittent/open-ended

Finished but not yet Posted:

  • N/A

Multi Chapter Fics Being Outlined/Written

(sorry sorry sorry sorry)

  • Take Me to the Pilot (AU)
  • Angel Down (TFA sort of...but AU) - actually just discovered i planned all these chapters so idk why i’m putting it off
  • Untitled #1/"Overexposed" (Bespin...AU...ish?)
  • Untitled #2/"Proxy" (TFA sort of, but AU...but only because I need to use Ben/any baby and i don’t want to make another kid up for something small)

I see so few abortions in fanfic that I am going to fulfill my two special interests and write Star Wars abortion fanfic, I SWEAR

@madame-alexandra is the queen of Star Wars abortion fanfic, and it's really inspired me to want to include it in my own work!

Abortion is a totally normal part of most people's reproductive lives, but it's treated as a taboo topic in fiction, or like something "good" characters would never consider. Brilliant, loving, loved, smart, amazing, compassionate, brave people have abortions. Sometimes, it's a major, painful decision for people. Sometimes it's a no brainer and it's a huge relief. Sometimes it's both. People who have had abortions deserve to see the full spectrum of their experiences reflected in fiction.

(evergreen reminder that I do a lot of work in abortion access and can always try to answer any questions you have/connect you to resources)

How about H or L for the writer asks?

H: How would you describe your writing style? ...bloated, lol.

L: Which of your fics was the most emotionally challenging to write? Well, probably my NCIS murder/suicide fic, but if you mean NCIS...Testimony.

walkawaytallblogs asked:

D and/or M for the asks?

Avatar

D: What's the most personal fanfic you've written? I usually say Interlude, but...Escapism. Or rather - can fic you wrote in the past be retroactively personal? Because when I wrote NCIS, I wrote a lot about a young female agent navigating a male dominated industry and like. That was ten years before I was...literally a young female agent navigating a male dominated industry.

M: What's the weirdest AU scenario you've ever come up with? Did it turn into a story? I wrote "NCIS as Gilmore Girls" and that was kind of off the rails. It was also a pretty instant indication that I was done with that fandom; I like AUs but I also kind of feel that when you change a story SO much it's difficult to recognize, you've done all you can with the fandom.

The number of people who will read "Siren Song" and praise it and then at the end say some version of "but Leia saying fuck you was too far or unbelievable" or whatever it's like .... ? You could just keep that opinion to yourself.

MADAME ALEXANDRA FIC LIBRARY

Time Period: HOTH/THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

These are all of my stories that are set roughly in the time period from HOTH to the TRIP TO BESPIN. More specifically, because I have so many fics that are in the entire ESB period, these are all fics that take place PRIOR to Han and Leia leaving Hoth.

They are all cross posted on A03 & FF.Net. I am only linking to A03, as I no longer use Fanfiction.net.

These are not listed in any particular order (well, alphabetical, since that is how I am finding them in my folders). They are NOT in the same universe. They are split into one-shots and multi-chapter.

One-Shots:

A Good Story: The story behind General Rieekan thinking it was "dangerous for anyone to leave the system, until they've activated the energy shield."  Rating: General Audiences After Midnight: Leia contemplates the ways in which her royal upbringing influenced her ability to believe in sincerity, and to make interpersonal connections - all brought on by the simple truth of the way Han sees her. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Armor: Han notices Leia is upset, and tries to convince her there's actually nothing wrong with feeling that way.Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Companion Piece: Chinks Babysitting: Chewbacca has given Leia an assignment, and Luke isn't sure he understands. She's...babysitting Han? Rating: General Audiences Companion Piece: Spiced Chinks: Han offered Leia a place to lock herself away and cry. He didn't imagine she'd take him up on it. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Companion Piece: Armor Constellations: After midnight in the snow, the wilderness outside the Rebel base on Hoth feels ... like an alternate universe. Leia and Han have an almost moment, and Leia contends with why she can't seem to let herself respond to him. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?: There is a new recruit on base who has the nerve to flirt with Leia. Obviously this makes him a spy, according to one Han Solo. Except it turns out he actually might be a spy. Or is he? Hijinks ensue. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences
Droidian Slip: Leia has a little slip of the tongue during a meeting that wrecks decorum. Carlist Rieekan is, once again, at his wit's end. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences
Hairy Situations: Luke wanders on to the Millenium Falcon looking for Leia - and he can't believe what he thinks he's overhearing. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Helpless: Leia's (disjointed) thoughts during the infamous ESB "You could use a good kiss!" scene. Rating: General Audiences Kray Dragons: Han Solo is NOT the kind of man who wins stuffed animals for princesses. But, in the course of a smuggling mission, if he accidentally won a stuffed animal, he might have to figure out a way to give it to someone, say a princess, without looking like a total sap. Rating: General Audiences Kiss and Tell: Rieekan catches Madine shamelessly spying on a potentially juicy event. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Locker Room Talk: Leia overhears a crude conversation -- but what's important is what she hears Han NOT saying. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Nurse Solo: Leia needs a shot, and she's still scared of needles. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences. Companion Piece: Pointy Things one of these nights: On Hoth, Han reflects on his desire for Leia while in the grip of a whiskey haze. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Perception: An unexpected and hostile confrontation with a female rebel lieutenant has Leia Organa questioning the way she looks at her relationship with Han Solo -- and his feelings towards her. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Companion Piece: Reality Puzzled: Leia struggles to pay attention during a meeting...and she can't get to get her idle thoughts to cooperate and act ladylike. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Reality: Han isn't so much questioning his feelings for Leia, but trying to ignore them, which puts him in a humiliating moment that hurts the feelings of more than one person. Rating: Mature Companion Piece: Perception Spiced: Luke helps the Rogue Squadron to play a prank on Leia, but really only so he could give Han a little payback. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Companion Piece: Babysitting Temperatures: Upon the realization that Princess Leia Organa was currently asleep in his bed, Han Solo had two questions. Set pre ESB. Location: Hoth. Plot: The Princess is asleep on the Falcon, and Han doesn't know how it happened - does he? Rating: General Audiences The Date Table: Princess Leia finds out that she's dating Han Solo. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Thief: Han seeks out a blanket that has gone missing from his ship. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences. Companion Pieces: The Blanket and Repossession Tie a Cherry: The gang is playing a drinking game*, and at the behest of the cards, Leia reveals a 'hidden talent.' Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Wait For It: Han & Wait For It: Leia // Leia's thoughts: realizing she has a reason to live, and she's glad she has her life. // Han's thoughts: waiting for Leia to wake up to his feelings for her; why he's glad he hung around. Based on the 'Hamilton' song. Rating: General Audiences When Han Met Leia & When Leia Met Han: Carlist Rieekan investigates rumors of a proverbial murder in the mess hall. Motive seems to be Han Solo running his mouth (again). Perpetrator seems to be Princess Leia, in said mess hall...weapon unknown. Afterwards, Han seeks retaliation. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences when i think about you: Leia goes in search of Han. She finds him, but he seems...busy. Han makes what may, or may not be, a confession about how much he thinks about her. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences

Multi-Chapter Fics:

Delirium: Han comes down with a fever. Leia keeps him awake to keep him alive. Mon Mothma and Rieekan gossip. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Erosion: Han and Leia are having one of their “usual” arguments, until it turns nasty. Afterwards, dealing with the fallout, Leia examines the intersection of privilege and trauma. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Escapism: Leia and Han contend with the potential fallout of a drunken, unprotected night, in a sense both literal and emotional. Rating: Mature Melodrama: A near death experience. A confession. The aftermath. Rating: Teen & Up Audiences

If you haven’t read these, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

So, I did a little writing at work today, and I think it might be the prologue for an Identity Bespin story. MIGHT. I want to post this now, so we will see if it actually turns in to anything.

I don’t know if anyone remembers, but a one-shot I wrote called “Home” ended up becoming the prologue for Identity itself, so I am thinking maybe I can replicate that luck with this.

Here you go!
