halfamoon | Entries tagged with castle

Three pre-existing works of mine that fit today's prompt, all on AO3, all G/Teen-rated, all gen or mostly so, all fairly short. [Aside to mods: Castle appears not to have a fandom tag.]

Five College Careers Alexis Castle Might Consider (And the Consequences Thereof)
Castle (with dashes of Buffyverse & NCIS)

What it says on the tin - a Five Things piece speculating about Alexis' choice of college, including two that lead into crossover territory. (Do read the comments; actual students/alums from two of the schools mentioned chimed in.)

Career Day
NCIS/Sarah Jane Adventures

Abby is just packing up her "Career Day" booth at a local high school when an English transfer student happens by - and the conversation takes an unexpected direction. Inspired by a series of stories by Azar featuring Abby as a past companion of the Doctor's.

A Little Self-Knowledge
Nancy Drew (books)

Similar in subject matter to the Castle piece, though here Nancy (very lightly updated to the present day from the yeilow-spine books) is discussing college plans with her Aunt Eloise over lunch. Both Ned Nickerson and the Hardy boys come up in the conversation, albeit for different reasons.

So I was just perusing my own author tag on

Title: Gin and Other Coping Mechanisms
Author: aces
Fandom: Castle
Word count: approx 2000 words
Spoilers/episode tag for 3x06, “3XK,” (serial killer ep, for those of you who have as much trouble remembering episode titles as I do), though this was also sparked by Martha’s scene in “Knockdown.”
Summary: Martha had only switched to rum when she’d run out of the gin.

Story can be found on LJ or on DW.

Today, I offer icons of characters in law enforcement, hoping for a better world.

This isn't a comprehensive list, so if you have a favorite female law enforcement type that I've missed, I'll be happy to make icons and add her to the list.

8 Cops, 9 Feds, and 1 Private Eye

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?" )

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.

Title: Raise the Curtain
Author:

lauriestein
Rating: G
Characters: Martha
Disclaimer: Not mine, not stealing, no profits being made.
Spoilers: Nothing past season 1
Prompt: opening night written for

zeldaophelia
Summary: In the space of a day, everything's gone. Martha still has to face the crowd.

This place puts the off in off(-off)-Broadway, that's for damn sure. Martha reaches for the weak martini that's been slowly evaporating in the hot, airless closet that masquerades as a dressing room and knocks the rest back in one gulp. The crackling murmur over the tannoy signals the impending half-hour call before the bored stage manager can utter the words.
