[Castle Fic] Advice

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Author: Nikki/aethre
Category: Humour, romance, Castle/Beckett established relationship
Word Count: ~1800
Rating: PG
Summary: Alexis asks Beckett for advice on a possible summer job – modelling.  Ryan and Esposito add their two cents and Castle shows up to stir up trouble.


For once, the 12th Precinct was quiet.  The dead heat of summer was pounding on the sidewalks and many of the officers dragging in the latest batch of scumbags had sweat darkening their shirts, but inside the building the A/C was working overtime and the internal temperature floated only a few degrees above room temperature.  The comfortable warmth made the usually alert detectives drowsy, including the normally wired Kate Beckett.  Even the quantities of caffeine Beckett consumed were not enough to counteract the warmth, late nights and the blessed lack of Castle, a combination that had Kate drowsing at her desk.

In fact, Kate had nearly nodded off entirely when she heard Alexis’ voice.  It sounded suspiciously like a cheerful ‘Hi Kate!’ but that couldn’t be right – it was two in the afternoon.  Alexis still had class and, barring a family emergency, Alexis would never skip class.

Kate’s eyes snapped open in realisation and her body tensed, ready to act, and she pinned Alexis with a serious stare.  “What’s wrong, Alexis?”

dA Contest Experiment

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

As some of you (well, probably all ten of you.  Yes, I apparently have ten people reading my blog.  That is nine more than I had expected) are probably aware, I’m a bit of a masochist in regards to my creative ventures.  As you’re probably also aware, I can afford to – humble I am not.  I mean, christ, you’re reading the words of the girl who wrote crack!fic for the lawls and to piss off a fandom.  Sadly, I (mostly) failed.  I got one person crazy pissed at me, but she was a superfan of my other fics.  Yes, I was a fifteen year old writing crappy Artemis Fowl fanfics and I had superfans.  Superfans that stalked me for years.  Don’t ask me to explain it – I don’t get it myself.  Travis says it’s because I’m better at writing than I give myself credit for.  I, personally, attribute it to my ability to write for my audience… since my audience is myself and apparently there are people like me in the world.  That, and my rarely tapped ability to be charming.

So, yeah, ego.  An ego that was stroked for years due to being the one artist and writer in one group of friends and then further fueled by the interwebs.  Needless to say, I’m an excellent candidate for experimenting on creative groups – I have more interest in the numbers and what they represent than how they reflect on my own work.  Hence my current experiment on the Castle fandom regarding review to read ratios, speed of reading and quality of reviews between FF.Net and the castle_fic LJ comm.  I mean, hey, if I’m going to be writing Castle fic like the fantard that I am, I may as well get some data out of it.

[Castle Fic] What Kate Wrote

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Author: Nikki/aethre
Category: Romance with a touch of pwp
Rating: R
Word Count: ~2200
Summary: What Kate wrote… and what Rick read.  A spiritual sequel, of sorts, to Fangirl.  [Heat/Rook… and Castle/Beckett by extension]
A/N: While technically a sequel (interquel?) to a previous fic I wrote, it’s not necessary to read it first.  Either order, or just reading one or the other, will be perfectly fine.


Title: Tequila Sunrise
Author: CrumblingSpire
Fandom: Heat novels
Category: Romance
Pairing: Heat/Rook
Rating: R
Summary: Heat, Rook, a boring cocktail party and a convenient coat closet.
Author’s Note: Written at two am with a glass (or three) of wine.  You’ve been warned.

Nikki Heat smirked inwardly as she swept, fashionably late, into Rook’s magazine’s cocktail party.  The formfitting wine red dress, accented in gold, drew looks and the lithe, athletic form it cased kept the gazes on Nikki.  Despite all of the admiring stares, Nikki felt Rook’s eyes on her and she turned to face him with a saucy smile.  Rook’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he absently set his champagne glass on a nearby table.  The air between the two smouldered and the other partygoers unconsciously cleared a direct route to Nikki for Rook.

They stood facing each other, standing just a bit closer than polite society demands, and the tension crackled in the slight space between them.

[Castle Fic] Fangirl

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Title: Fangirl
Fandom: Castle
Genre: Humour/Crack
Characters: Kate Beckett and Rick Castle
Word Count: ~1000
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None. Unless fangirl!Beckett disturbs you.
Spoilers: Inspired by Suicide Squeeze and references to One Man’s Treasure, amoung others.
Summary: Buzzed on wine, high on Castle’s delicious smut scenes, Kate Beckett fires up Word and indulges in her own guilty pleasure.

It was two am and Katherine Beckett could not sleep.  Not an uncommon occurrence – her all nighters spent staring at the murder board, followed by power naps in the break room, (and that time she broke into the Captain’s office and passed out on his much more comfortable couch) were a bit of a legend in the Twelfth Precinct.  But it wasn’t murder keeping Beckett awake that night.

No.

It was far more frustrating problem.  And it was all Castle’s fault.

omgironman

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

As pretty much the entire internets is aware, the IM2 trailer was just released today.  Seriously, if you didn’t know this by now, you musta been living under a rock or something.  I mean, hullo, trending on twitter!  At least 50% of the people I’m following on twitter have made omgironman<3 tweets already.

Unsurprisingly, I was among them, as well as being crazy enough to demand a time machine (@Navarr helpfully provided a time loop machine, thus adding even more fandom to my already fandom full twitter feed).

So.

Yeah.

Trailer good Nikki happyyyy.  I mean, whoa, ’splosions and War Machine and Pepper makin’ out with the helmet omg!  The last one on the list was surprisingly hot – I predict that the Tony/Pepper LJ comm is gunna explode with ficlets about that kiss and their exchange – “Go get ‘em boss” “You complete me!” – so deliciously shippy.  I’d hope that that would make the T/P die hards stop freaking out over potential Tony/Natasha but, well, that’d be a pipe dream and I’m not all that naive when it comes to fandom and shipping.
