Somehow...

I'm not entirely sure exactly how, I've been bribed to get Halcyon 9 out tonight. Or y'know, this morning in my timezone. Which is insane since I have about another 4-5000 words to write yet but I suddenly don't have to get up early tomorrow, so I figure hey, may as well be ficcing.

Directly related to not getting up early tomorrow, I owe karath many shiny things with chocolate inside. *looks guilty* Many, many shiny things. And fic has interfered with email-challenge, but I figure if I answer double the amount by this time tomorrow, then it'll work out? Plus extra shiny things? *still guilty*

But anyway, fic sometime in the next few hours and I'm already worrying about the violence in the first 1,000 words or so, which bodes um... not so well for the rest of it. If I turn up dead tomorrow morning, look to liroa15 and scoobydumblonde. *waves at them* You know when I promised not to kill anyone... *grins*

Okay, going to fic now. Think I need to be careful with this chapter because this is where continuity could get really screwed, not to mention tripping over my own feet in terms of setting up plot for the next part.

I give myself an hour before the next cup of coffee. Maybe less.

*yawns*

Am still here. Halcyon is getting there, slowly. 4,770 words. I just need to write the concluding scene and a little more angst and since it's gone 5am already, I may as well stay up to finish it and sleep tomorrow. *yawns*

So. Fic soon.

I don't believe it's morning.

I'd like to point out that I have actually stayed up all night writing this and I'm not entirely sure how. It's half six in the morning - 'rents are going to be getting up for work soon and I am going to get yelled at but I think I've reached that blank stage of tiredness where I just don't care. o_O Except for the headache. Ow.

So... completely unchecked, unbetaed, unedited... Halcyon 9

Title: Fallen (Halcyon 9)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Implied Roddick/Fish, Haas/Safin, Roddick/Federer, Fish/Haas/Safin
Summary: … The world ended. People didn’t. Not quite.
Notes: AU fic set in a hypothetical post-‘apocalyptic’ near future (I do love my apocalypses and jumping on the current AU bandwagon seemed like a good idea.) But this is one plot bunny that hasn’t had enough caffeine to sort itself out yet and I’m still sorting the threads out, so bear with me. Centred mainly around Roger’s POV with side trips into... well that would be telling. ;)
Disclaimer: Hasn’t… um, won’t happen to my knowledge, the various tennis players own themselves. Blame the plotbunnies. They started it.
Dedications: As always for liroa15,scoobydumblonde and australian_imp for far too much encouragement. :) Despite the death threats. ;)
Warnings: Abuse, violence, deaths of various RL people you may be fond of, mentions of terrorism, voluntary/involuntary drug use, the world post-‘apocalypse', probably more I've missed. It’s all fun and games here.

Part One - The Wasteland
Part Two - Living on Promises
Part Three - If Only

Part Seven - Under the Shadow
Part Eight - Playing the Hero

Right. Bed. Night! Um... morning...

It's starting to become an obsession.

I need to stop wanting to write bloody Halcyon. I have to sit down tonight and answer emails and I need to go to bed early because I'm going shopping and sleeping at rainy_roz's tomorrow so I need to be awake and coherent for that. And I stayed in bed till 2pm today after not going to sleep until 7am. And I have letters to write and stuff to do and the muses need to leave me alone now please. *grits her teeth*

Speaking of Halcyon however, I want to get the next two parts out preferably within a day of each other, because the end of part ten is a horrendous cliffhanger and as cruel as I can be, I really don't want to leave it for long. Because I would be murdered and I've had too many death threats this week as it is. However I have a Creative Writing thing to be done and sent by a week today and I'm supposed to be finished painting the cupboards at the weekend... *but*, if people ease up on the death threats just a little, I'll work on getting part ten up for Saturday night my time and eleven for Sunday night. Then I'll do the CW story over the next couple of days and get the epilogue for Halcyon up tpwards the end of next week. And then it'll be done and I can stop thinking about it for at least a couple of weeks until the muses poke me into going back and rewriting bits of it to make the continuity work better. *sighs*

I read a wonderful Harry/Draco fic in which Draco mentioned this song once and now I can't get that fic out my head every time I hear it. Not to mention I'm not too far from Blackburn in Lancaster, so the line "four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire" makes me giggle every time I hear it. Weird.

I haven't had any coffee today, so I'm going to go and find some. And then I may have a nap. Ficcing all night just confuses my body clock completely. *sighs*

Anyway. Later.
