Catch up. Space, healing

Space (The 100, Octavia)

Monty had said to her once that he missed space, that it had been where he’d been happiest. Octavia could understand how that might have been for him; the Ark had been where his mother was still alive, where he hadn’t had to kill her while she was under the influence of A.L.I.E to save Octavia, where he’d still had Jasper, his best friend.

For Octavia, however, it was the opposite; space had held no happy memories for her, just many years of hearing Bellamy talking about life on the Ark and knowing that being an illegal second child she could never be a part of it, reading about these seasons called spring and summer and wishing she could experience them. On the ground, she was free to live a life where she wouldn’t be punished for her mere existence, where Bellamy was also free to have friends without having to worry that she would be discovered if he ever asked anyone back. And even if Lincoln had been taken from her, the ground was where Octavia had experienced love.

So while it made sense for Monty to feel that he missed space, Octavia had no desire to ever see it again.

Healing (Lost, Juliet)

When Juliet had started out in her career as a fertility specialist, her work had brought hope, to her as well as so many of her patients.

At the time she’d first come to the island, she’d genuinely believed that she’d be able to help the women there, even as nothing she saw and heard made sense; then time had gone by, mother after mother had died during their second trimester, and Ben refused to let her leave the island with a patient to see if she could achieve anything on the mainland, and Juliet had begun to lose faith, to lose heart in her profession.

In 1974, with the opportunity to start all over again in the DHARMA Initiative, it had been a relief to Juliet to turn her back on the profession, to become someone else, until Ben Linus was shot by Sayid Jarrah. Forced to assist with his treatment, finding Ben’s life in her hands once more, Juliet realised she could never really escape.

Day 3: Both Sides Of The Law, Fringe/Lost crossover, Olivia Dunham, Kate Austen

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 00:59:45 GMT

Posted by: tellshannon815

Title: See You On The Other Side
Fandoms: Fringe, Lost
Characters: Olivia Dunham, Kate Austen
Rating: PG
Summary: Since Olivia shot her stepfather, she's lived in fear of him coming back for her. Face to face with Kate, who had succeeded in killing Wayne, she struggles with turning her in.

It had been Olivia’s own history with her stepfather that had led to her desire for a career in law enforcement from a young age, yet it was her same history with her stepfather that led her to the one time in her career where she found herself feeling unable to bring a perpetrator in.

Olivia looked at Kate Austen, and thought that this was not what she had wanted to achieve in her law enforcement career; she had wanted to bring justice to men like her stepfather, and to this Wayne Janssen, but had not considered the idea of taking down people like Kate who had fought back. Kate may have been on the run, cast aside by her mother, yet Olivia envied her in a way; Kate had succeeded where Olivia had failed, at least she knew she was safe now from further contact with Wayne, where Olivia was reminded of her own stepfather every year with the birthday cards, never knew where he was, still found herself looking over her shoulder in case he returned.

Olivia and Kate were technically on opposite sides of the law, yet in another way they were both on the same side; while Olivia knew she would have to bring her in if Kate put another foot wrong, at the same time she did not feel guilt at giving Kate a head start.

2 video self-recs. :)

War and Peace

Title: Never Say Die

Character: Ana Lucia Cortez
Warnings: Death; violence; guns; (nearly) drowning.
Other notes: I made it back in 2007, so some clips are lower quality (mostly just slowed down a lot). Also it has a few seconds of Ana/Sawyer because it was my OTP at that time and I couldn't just not include it at all, lol, but other than that it's just Ana gen.

Day 4 & 5: Magic & The City

Wed, 06 Feb 2019 01:10:45 GMT

Posted by: facethestrange

Apparently I end up posting two prompts at a time right now. :)

Magic

This time it's not a self-rec - it's a lovely gift I got in an exchange. I actually hadn't seen it for two years (I dropped out of a few exchanges at that time and didn't expect to get gifts from any of them), I only read it for the first time a few months ago, so it's still fresh in my mind. I'm in love with it, it's such a gorgeous exploration of the beginnings of Melissa, Diana and Faye's friendship. ❤

Incidental Magic (4600 words) by Nerissa
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Secret Circle (TV)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Melissa Glaser & Diana Meade, Melissa Glaser & Faye Chamberlain
Characters: Melissa Glaser, Diana Meade, Faye Chamberlain, Kate Meade, Jane Blake
Additional Tags: Female Friendship, Childhood, Pre-Canon
Summary:

Childhood was a sparkling collection of sleepovers, dress up and almost-accidentally figuring out who they are.

The City

And a self-rec. :)

Stranger Things/Lost crossover picspam: Ana Lucia Cortez is a member of Kali Prasad's gang.

Content warning: guns.

( under the cut )

Can I have "the secret circle" and "stranger things" tags? :)

Hi there! I took advantage of the 30 Days of Female Characters meme that was going around, only I wasn't really up for all 30 days so I wound up combining it into one picspam. If you'd like to check it out, it's here on my journal!

Lost, Juliet, what she wishes she didn't know (Warning: Spoilers for S6 Lost!)
House, Lisa Cuddy, being boss
Farscape, Chiana, stars in my eyes
Dexter, Debra, anything
Adelle and Sierra (referred to as Priya), garden (Warning: Spoilers for Dollhouse finale!)

Hope you enjoy!

Character Love Posts

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:13:00 GMT

Posted by: frolicndetour.livejournal.com

I haven't had a chance to contribute as much as I would have liked to this round of halfamoon, though I hope to get more in before the end. But in the meantime: Last June I hosted a HB(adass)IC poll at my journal. On the one hand, I have issues with these contests; the competitive, "there can only be one" nature of them when the only thing the characters have in common is their gender can be problematic. On the other hand, interactive celebration of Our Heroines! So we did the poll, and every time a character got voted out I ~~drafted my friends~~ recruited volunteers to write appreciation post/picspams for them. The result was 25 character love posts, and hopefully much fun had by all.

Nomination post, with 390 comments worth of female-character squee.

Katie Fitch and Eve Dallas appreciation posts

Patty Hewes and Katara

Elizabeth Weir and Susan Ivanova

Rose Tyler and Juliet Burke

Eowyn and Faith Lehane

Dana Scully and Number Six

Hermione Granger, Donna Noble and River Tam

Emma Frost and Laura Roslin

Sarah Connor, Veronica Mars and Princess Leia

Buffy Summers and Zoe Washburn

Aeryn Sun, Kate Beckett and Kara Thrace

Picspam: Juliet Burke

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:26:00 GMT

Posted by: mfirefly10.livejournal.com

This is just a picspam of random Juliet screen-caps. I was trying out some new techniques in photoshop and this was the result:)

I included some quotes to highlight one of my favorite things about the lovely Dr. Burke: her snark :D

Beware: There are spoilers for season 6.
(Seriously, if you haven't seen 'LA X', don't look under the cut!)
