Back in the Livejournal days, I loved the [livejournal.com profile] 1sentence challenge, and I'm thrilled to see the concept has now been brought to Dreamwidth with the launch of [community profile] 1character! Claim a character; write fifty one-sentence fics about that character; share the result with the world.

To the shock and astonishment of all, I promptly claimed Light Yagami. There's a three-month timeframe in which you can write your sentences; I wrote them in, uh, two days.

My previous attempts at one-sentence fic collections have been fairly disconnected, but there's a little more structure to this one; I've set the sentences largely across the canonical course of Death Note and arranged them in chronological order.


Title: who you were always meant to be
Fandom: Death Note
Rating: 14
Pairing: slight Light/L implications
Wordcount: 2,000 in total
Summary: The rise of Kira and the fall of Light Yagami, in fifty one-sentence fics.
Warnings: It's brief and non-explicit, but this is yet another addition to my embarrassingly large 'Talking About Light Yagami Masturbating' entry collection, and I can only apologise. Relatedly: slight implications of voyeurism.

I loved Kpop Demon Hunters; what a fun film! But I also thought it was a bit of a mess, so I'd like to note down my thoughts about it while they're still fresh in my mind.


Thoughts on Kpop Demon Hunters. )


Even if I think this film was a bit of a disaster thematically, I had a great time watching it. Sony Pictures Animation has been doing some fantastic work; The Mitchells vs the Machines was also great, and I'm waiting impatiently for the next Spider-Verse film!

Just realised I've written two different fics within the past two months - Communication (Deltarune) and Common Ground (Star Trek DS9) - that conclude with an arrangement to play the piano between a person and the intangible, inescapable part of themselves they have a complicated relationship with. I know I have a tendency to revisit themes, but this is ridiculous.

Come to think of it, I've also got a couple of earlier fics that conclude with the protagonist deciding to play music, or reaching a point where they're able to play music again. I just like making characters play music when they're in a dark place! It feels like such a hopeful thing to me.

The piano's been on my mind lately; somehow I keep encountering it in fiction! Kris of Deltarune plays the piano. Verso of Clair Obscur plays the piano. I started watching Your Lie in April on a whim, knowing very little about it, and it turns out it's largely about the musical development of a young pianist. When I was writing my DS9 fic, I looked up Joran and went, Oh, he's a musician? Maybe I could use that in this fic. What does he play? Probably some sort of weird future instrument, right? ...no, he's a pianist, of course.

There are other canons I've experienced that involve the piano, of course! (Omori comes to mind. Omori always comes to mind. I cannot escape or forget Omori.) But I feel I've run into a real concentration within the last couple of months.

This is nice because it's got me playing the piano again, after neglecting it for a little while! I'm not a masterful player, largely because I rarely have the patience to learn a new piece - my repertoire mainly consists of songs I've been playing over and over again for a decade or two, with the occasional clumsy and simplified attempt to play by ear - but I do enjoy it. There's something so calming about sitting down and letting instinct and muscle memory carry you through a piece of music.

I wonder how Kris of Deltarune would react if, while controlling them, I played the piano in a way that made it clear to them that I actually know how to play. I wonder if that would change our relationship.

Is this piano rambling going anywhere? No. The rest of this post will be an account of my recent dreams.


Assorted dreams over the summer. )


Last night, I dreamt I posted a fic to AO3 and tried to title it 'Little Talks' (you've used this title before, Riona!). I did not notice until the next day that I'd accidentally called it 'Coggled Sprogs', which I have at least not used before.

I've watched Star Trek DS9 fairly idly for the most part; I've enjoyed it, but I haven't been passionate about it. I certainly wouldn't consider it one of my fandoms.

And then I hit episode 7.13, 'Field of Fire', the best episode of television ever made. Intense selfcest sexual tension! Between Dax and a past version of herself nobody but she can see! While that past version tries to groom her into becoming a murderer! Absolutely incredible. I had to keep reminding myself that this was mainstream television from the nineties and these two were unlikely to launch into the vicious hatesex they constantly felt on the verge of.

This episode single-handedly smashed straight through my writer's block, and here's the result (although it's regrettably not vicious hatesex).


Title: Common Ground
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Rating: 14
Wordcount: 1,100
Summary: After they catch the killer together, Ezri lets Joran linger for a while.
