somewhat predictably, I have committed fic.

As mentioned, I've been in a terrible writing slump lately. Recently took a lovely vacation visiting my 'rents and my grandmother, and that helped heat the creative juices, but since I have been so blocked I decided to not force the issue and let them flow where they would. Which is to say that I now find myself with Ben 10 fic. Um. Oops?

So, Kevin backstory, trying to reconcile the canon of the original series with Alien Force. I think I've managed to stay true to most of it; future eps might joss this (I rather hope they do - I wanna know how Kevin got out of the Null Void, dangit!) but for now this is my head-canon, more or less. Spoilers through s3 of Alien Force; somewhat more angst, drama, and profanity than is the norm for a kid's cartoon...this is me, what'd you expect?

Ben 10: Every Hero Has One {~7,300 words}
PG-13, gen, canon-compliant backstory
Eleven defining moments in Kevin's life so far.


I also finished posting Safeguard; the epilogue went up today. A four-year-old WiP officially down, go me!

YGO: Safeguard {~49,000 words}
PG-13, gen, Kaiba brothers
When tragedy befalls Kaiba, Yugi and his friends fear such a devastating loss may be too much for him, and now, unless he can fight a hostile takeover, he stands to lose Kaiba Corporation as well. Or is something else wrong?

WOW!!! Don't you love those moments when you can snip the cord on a hanging fic and let it out onto the wild internet. That you finished a four-year old wip is pretty darned incredible.

I don't know Ben-10, never saw it, but I liked your fic.

Hee, yeah, I know! I have a few other WiPs still hanging over my head - I made a resolution a couple years back never to post any incomplete fics again, but there's an unfortunate amount remaining. But it feels good to know I can still return to fics to complete them!

And glad you liked the fic, even not knowing the canon, it's a great compliment that you read it at all ^_^

I can't stop myself. I have to say that you're amazing for finishing Safeguard.
