HTTYD: Thursday's Children, Part 4.2 (Nightfall)

Summary: There is A: “lost”, and then there is B: “cornered by territorial Speed Stingers”. So, of course, feral-dragon-boy Hiccup and his Toothless are C: “both”. [And other adventures along the way, in four parts.] Begin reading this story HERE Read the first part of this chapter HERE --- There is sun and it is there and Toothless sets his shoulder to it just so and he flies and he flies and he flies and he screams with the agony tearing at his heart and the bite that drips blood from his shoulder is a goodness almost because it hurts less and he flies and he flies and he flies. There is this wind and it is the wrong one an...

Their claws patter like summer rain on the king’s lake, and Hiccup’s heart clenches.

HTTYD: Runt of the Litter Pt. 2/2 (Nightfall)

Summary: [a “Nightfall” prequel] Hiccup and Toothless are a pair of inseparable dragon-children. But they are not children alone, and when hunters become hunted, they need all the friends they can get. Important: Begin this story HERE . --- Toothless narrows his eyes, sealing his nostrils closed against the breath that trembles in his throat. It is eager to spring out again, but no winds rustle the grasses, and he must be very sneaky. One paw hovers with nowhere yet to land, and he leans forward carefully, nose questing. The tips of his wings tremble with the urge to leap and snap at it, and at the movement, the little slip of color ta...

HTTYD - Freefall - Extras

0 min read

Welcome to the bonus content for Freefall , the third volume of the HTTYD series that began with Nightfall (2014) and continued with Stormfall (2016).If you've been with me all five years...oh my word, thank you. You are a champion. If you came in at some point in the middle, thank you for coming back and sticking with this series! You guys are the reason I keep writing. If you're just getting here, welcome! Freefall is not the place to start. You want to double back to Nightfall ( here's a link to a similar bonus content page, with links to the story) first.

'Mirage', or the Vegas AU Nobody Asked For...

0 min read

This is the behind-the-scenes and bonus content for my story Mirage , a Marvel Cinematic Universe canon-divergent slashfic. I've referred to it as "the Vegas AU Nobody Asked For" so often it's practically the subtitle, even if it's not technically true.If you've stumbled across this journal by accident, and by some wild chance would like to read a crazy-long Avengers slashfic where Loki is exiled to Earth, sulks off and ends up in Las Vegas, meets pre-Iron Man Tony, acts like...well, like Loki , craziness and sharp edges and all, and things get rather out of hand from there...Then Mirage is on Archive of Our Own and fanfiction.net ....

'Mirage' - Process and Deleted Scene

0 min read

I really don't expect anyone to read this. But I've been asked how I write so much so fast. The short answer is that I write for a set amount of time (my Mirage writing playlist is 2 hours 46 minutes) 5-6 nights a week! Also, I started with a 6-chapter lead.The long answer is that I write using an outline, building up each scene cumulatively. Here's an example using a scene that didn't get published.It's from Chapter Fourteen, "3000 Miles to Graceland", which is the Mirage -version of the film Iron Man 2 . In that chapter, it's mentioned that Tony's (canonically disastrous) birthday party was underwhelming...but it wasn't always! I wro...
