Title: Them Young Girls They Do Get Wearied (1/?)
Author: agnes_bell
Spoilers: Through 4.13 “Advanced Introduction to Finality”, but AU from the get-go
Rating/ Warnings: PG-14, for themes and language. Trigger warnings for substance abuse (implied this part) and later discussion of disordered eating.
Word Count: 4,310
Disclaimers: If I owned this show, I’d probably be less pathological.
Author’s note: Hi! Long-time listener, first-time caller! Or something like that. I haven’t written fic for several years, but this idea kind of wouldn’t let me go. Essentially, I was inspired by this photoset from FYJeffandAnnie, but I tweaked it a little to fit with what I thought I could make into a story. There are changes to canon, but I hope you’ll stick with me long enough to explain anything confusing.No beta, so all flubs are mine, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Title: The Way I Feel When You Call My Name (3/?)
Author: lapacifidora
Spoilers: Through 4.10, “Intro to Knots”
Rating/ Warnings: PG-14, for themes and brief sexual language. Trigger warnings for slightly rapey characterization, discussion of mental illness and institutionalization.
Word Count: 3,390
Disclaimers: Not mine. The title is from Sleater Kinney’s “Oh.”
Author’s note: For Caro, who asked for it. And for Kerry and Becca, who wanted it, or anything from me, for months now.
Well, having now seen 4.13, “Advanced Introduction to Finality,” I can say this is going to have some similarities with the finale because they are unavoidable. However, there are also going to be some major differences, which I hope will be welcome.

Title: The Way I Feel When You Call My Name (2/?)
Author: lapacifidora
Spoilers: Through 4.10, “Intro to Knots”
Rating/ Warnings: PG-14, for themes and language. Trigger warnings for discussion of mental illness and institutionalization.
Word Count: 3,408
Disclaimers: Not mine. The title is from Sleater Kinney’s “Oh.”
Author’s note: For Caro, who asked for it. And for Kerry and Becca, who wanted it, or anything from me, for months now.
Also, I actually started this April 24, following “Intro to Knots,” but then it sat on my hard drive for a week or so before I made any real progress. There will be differences and unintended similarities from both the promo for 4.13 and the actual episode. Additionally, the attitudes of the Greendale Insane Asylum staff are not my own, but are extrapolations and exaggerations of the attitudes expressed in “Curriculum Unavailable.” Also also, I’m working under the assumption the Prime and Darkest Timelines function on different time progressions, in addition to choosing not to relay all scenes chronologically.
P.S. Sorry it took longer: I was in a car collision Tuesday, and it kind of threw me off my game.

( She’s lucid. She asked for him. )

Ever have one of those days where you have a lovely surprise, but then you start thinking about it and by mid-day, you're overthinking it and, while still lovely, it's also making you a little sick to your stomach?

Welcome to my day.

( Incoherent ramblings of a socially awkward penguin. )
Anyways. The gist of this is that a cute guy paid attention to me, and that is so unusual that it basically turned my head for the better part of the day. Ergo, i'm a Looney McCrazyPants. Ta-da!

Title: Just Need to Admit That I Want Sugar In My Tea

Author: lapacifidora

Spoilers: Through 2.4, ‘A New Low’

Rating/ Warnings: PG-14, for insults and mention of bacon-flavored-biscuit-related impropriety; may go up, once Stevie decides to “help”

Word Count: 2,372

Disclaimers: Not mine. I’d certainly be doing a bit of that “Now KISS!” business if they did. The title is from Weezer’s ‘The Good Life.’

Author’s note: I don’t even know what this is. And the utter dearth of ‘Miranda’ fics that aren’t bits of sample episodes means I feel as though I’m scraping this together from scratch.

Title: A Fine Romance (2/?)
Author: lapacifidora
Spoilers: Post-“The Politics of Human Sexuality”, AU after that
Rating/ Warnings: R for language, themes and implications. N for Not Safe for Work.
Word Count: 3,520 (4,970 total)
Disclaimers: Not mine. Although I think Dan Harmon knows this friend of mine and based Troy on her…
Author’s note: This is my poor attempt at a smutty sequel to

greta_garbo’s amazing fic, “Snowed In,” which I read and loved when I found this fandom. I only hope it meets with her approval. ~~And that anyone who read part one is willing to read the rest of this, even though it’s months later.~~ Huh. Yeah. Um. Real Life kicked my ass. But I am determined to start finishing my WiPs: If the creators of Lost could do it, so can I. Nothing can be as aggravating or difficult as that, right?

( “I feel a plot twist coming.” )

Crap.

Crap crap crapcrapcrapcrap crappity crap crap.

This adulthood thing really kind of sucks, y'know.

( Don't *make* me throw this hummus! It's spicy. )

Current Mood: cranky

I totally Britta'd last weekend.
( And, sadly, I don't mean that I made a small and understandable mistake. )

Geez. I'm melodramatic sometimes. But I have now renamed myself "Cranky Pants." And I refer to myself as such in the third person: "Cranky Pants demands coffee." "Cranky Pants does not approve." "Cranky Pants wants it to stop snowing."

Yes, it is a definite possibility I am losing what little is left of my mind. C'est la vie.

In the space of the last month, my life has been shredded like a used paper napkin.

Scratch that: It's been ripped apart like one of those less-fortunate dinosaurs you see on a Discovery Channel program that isn't paying attention when all the other dinosaurs take off at the first hint that a T-Rex is coming up from behind.

My boss put me on a 1-month probation a little less than a month ago. And much as I've been doing what she asked me to do, things have not gotten better.

I can't eat. I've had more panic attacks in the last month than I had in the last two years of college. I fantasize about keying my boss's car. And then I wonder if maybe she's right, and am I simply a stupid girl who should be flipping burgers or something.

I'm angry and upset and bewildered, mainly because even when I was bullied as a kid, it was never like this: Never this systematic stripping away of everything I am, like she won't be happy until I am completely broken.

I'd like to think things would be better if my boss wasn't in the middle of opening a new restaurant in a different state, but my gut tells me it wouldn't. My gut tells me she believes she can crush me because I've bent over backwards to accommodate her before.

The part that makes me feel the most ill is that I know - I Know - I am only dragging this out because I'm afraid that if I do apply for a different job at another company, it will be just as bad as this. And that's stupid because I've had jobs I loved, jobs I would've kept forever if I could've.

But I suppose what I'm most concerned with at the moment is this: How do I get myself to start eating again when the thought of food makes me panicky and slightly nauseated? It's been so long since I've had this problem that I don't remember what I did last time.

Title: Fire in my eyes and boys on my mind

Author: lapacifidora

Spoilers: 1.01, “Pilot”

Rating/ Warnings: PG-14 this part

Word Count: 2,503

Disclaimers: Not mine. I’ve only been to Portland twice, and it never resembled anything like this one. The title is from The Sounds’ Like a Lady.

Author’s note: This is in response to a genderswap prompt over at the Grimm Kink meme. Specifically, this one.

( Here There Be Monsters. )

Title: It was always half invented
Author: lapacifidora
Spoilers: Picks up where 1.07, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, leaves off. AU from there on out, but with speculation based on promos for 1.08 and beyond.
Rating/ Warnings: PG-14, for language and implied violence. Canon character death mentioned.
Word Count: 2,757
Disclaimers: Horowitz and Kitsis own everything recognizable from Storybrook and Over There. I don’t possess nearly enough whimsy to have come up with anything like it. The title is from Jimmy Eat World’s song, Littlething.
Author’s note: Ladies, you know who you are and where this came from – I just hope you’re happy you lit the match under my imagination’s ass.

( She did not, could not, would not break. )

I am about to be introspective. As such, I am going to put my introspections under a fake cut: Not because they are particularly personal, but because I don't want to clog up people's friends pages with a lot of my nonsense.

If you're having one of those days, where everything is rather shitty and you're questioning your decision-making abilities, I strongly suggest you read this article. My best friend for at least the last decade posted it to Facebook, and while there's a whole lot of stuff about god and religion and stuff that I generally don't hold with *personally*, the points it makes are still valid and interesting and, I hope, useful.

( Thar be thoughts ahead. )

What are the things that are (mostly) worth it? My family. My awesome friends. Working at a job I loathe until I find a job I'm excited to do. Figuring out how to help people, if I can. Staying up till 2 a.m. to write, if that's when the mood strikes me and that's when I have time.

Yep. Priorities: I have them.

Title: The Way It Goes
Author: lapacifidora
Spoilers: Everything through 3.10, but nothing specific
Rating/ Warnings: PG-14, for language
Word Count: 2,761
Disclaimers: Not mine. Although I think Dan Harmon knows this friend of mine and based Troy on her…
Author’s note: I don’t know exactly where this came from: I wanted to write something fluffy and happy because real life is kicking my ass lately, but this came out instead. It’s cheesy. It’s dripping in sentimentality. It’s the sort of thing I deem mushy and try to avoid. But writing it made me feel a little bit better, and I hope y’all will indulge me in that much. One more thing: We Are Greendale.
***
( Things were looking up: Everything was going to be fine. )

Sometimes - and it's less than I used to because I'm making a concerted effort not to do this - I compliment family and friends because I feel guilty for having thought something mean about them before.

I also have a bad habit of complimenting or being nice to my family out of the blue because I think I might be mean to them later.

Title: Introduction to Interpersonal Relations: Here I Sit In My Burning Cell
Author: lapacifidora
Spoilers: Anything through 3.08 is fair game.
Rating/ Warnings: R
Word Count: 2,865
Disclaimers: Not mine. Although I think Dan Harmon knows this friend of mine and based Troy on her… Robin Hood, in any of its iterations, does not belong to me.
Author’s note: This was prompted by

westwingwolf after Jeff’s slip in “Studies in Modern Movement” that he’s seeing a therapist. She wanted to ‘see’ Jeff’s therapy sessions when he was talking about Annie. Sadly, perhaps, I have a gutter brain. That’s when I turned to

honey_pie1 for help. So, I guess you can blame all three of us.
This is also partially inspired by the inimitable Saber Shadow Kat. This chapter in particular is for our fearless leader,

veritas724. And the cheese; oh, the cheese. It could not be avoided, and for that, I ask forgiveness.
