Half a Moon: 14 Days of Celebrating Women

Posted by: mxcatmoon

Title: The End of Redemption
Fandom: Leverage
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: M (mature themes, and non-explicit sex)
Prompt: Day 12: The End of the World as We Know It
Words: 479
Characters/Pairing: Sophie/Parker
Summary: Everything ends, but they never expected it to happen like this. All they can do is stay alive, search for the others, and carve out some moments of pleasure in between.
Notes: This is not a pairing I normally ship, but it's fun to give something different a try once in a while.
Warning: This fic has a dark apocalyptic theme that might sound vaguely familiar in certain ways although a lot of it is left open to interpretation. If you've been depressed, stressed, anxious, etc. lately, this may not be a fic to read right now. Proceed at your own discretion.

Day 1 Fashion - Leverage fic - Of Forks and Fashion

2025-02-12T08:48:34Z

Posted by: mxcatmoon

Title: Of Forks and Fashion
Prompt: Day One: Fashion
Fandom: Leverage
Author: mxcatmoon
Rating: T
Words: 416
Characters: Parker, Sophie
Summary: The team has to infiltrate another fashion show, and Parker is not happy about it. Sophie will need the strength of a saint to deal with the others.
TW: Mention of male objectification of the female body.
Notes: I was hard pressed to come up with anything for this prompt at first, because I have zero interest in fashion. Then I thought of Parker. Also, I am inordinately fond of Parker stabbing lecherous men with forks (although no men were stabbed in this fic).

Thirty Day Meme

2011-02-12T16:36:00Z

Posted by: jekesta

I did a female character meme during January, and hope it's okay to link to it here.

Most posts are picspams, and there are a couple of vids, one for Cybill/Maryann, and one of Theo, from Jeremiah.

I tried to avoid repeating fandoms, and tried to ignore the women I thought it was most obvious I loved (Janeway, Ivanova, Scully, etc). Some posts are about a character, some are about pairings, and some are about an entire show.

Fic: Fighting Back in Three (or More) Dimensions (Multi-fandom; PG)

2011-02-02T09:22:00Z

Posted by: zinke.livejournal.com

Title: Fighting Back in Three (or More) Dimensions
Author: Zinke
Rating: PG for language.
Characters: That would be telling. *g*
Warnings: Total, complete and utter crack with a generous side order of mockage.
Spoilers: Big one for Battlestar Galactica if you haven’t seen the whole series yet. If you’ve ever seen an episode of Sanctuary and/or Leverage, you’ll be fine.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Just borrowing for a bit of shameless mocking. No infringement intended.

Author’s Notes: A while back, this flow chart made the rounds on the internet. Needless to say, I was not very impressed with what the chart had to say. Turns out, a whole bunch of other people I know weren’t all that happy with it, either. *g*

( "So we’re in agreement; this thing is absolute dren. The question is: what are we going to do about it?" )

Written for the halfamoon 2010 Impromptuthon, for woodburner's prompt, Parker/Tara, friendship or f/f, fanfic, this still doesn't mean I like you, though.
