Q

Qoheleth

  • Charade

    In the Victorian-riddle-poem sense, that is. Written for prompt #11 of Adventures in Narnia 2022 ("Describe a character in exactly 100 words, without naming him").

  • Monkey! More Muggle Music!

    A conversation about pets takes a turn for the surreal when Luna gets involved. ("There are bumblebee-sized, opera-whistling monkeys in Switzerland?" "If you know where to look.")

  • Magis Quam Libidine (Ecbatana Funk)

    In which Sara the daughter of Raguel sings of her gratitude to a certain undercover angel.

  • Sources

    Drabble collection. Not every use for X-ray vision is naughty…

  • Yes to the Dress

    Because, crazy as it sounds, I really believe that the outcome of "Civil War" would have been both happier and more logical if they'd given Wanda her proper costume. AU.

  • Better than the Mighty

    Written for foxcraft fan. A beautiful Afghan hound spurning his love, a wicked sea-bird plotting his downfall, a horde of saber-toothed tigers attacking Metropolis: this has not been the easiest weekend for Krypto the Super-Hound.

  • Sonnet upon a Mobile Donna

    Written for retro mania. Princess Langwidere's thoughts as she changes heads.

  • My Nahuatl Antagonist Is a Peach!

    Though superficially a mere list of random prompt paragraphs, this is in fact also an elaborate word game, an Independence-Day tribute to the Union (while we still have it), and an affectionate retrospective of the fandoms I've written in. Find your own state in this riot of republican rebuses.

  • The Perception

    Sequel to "The Parallel". The members of the Morph Force have returned from the Animorphs' universe to their own, and all seems well… until a girl on the other side of the country starts having dreams of turning into a wolf and fighting aliens. Are the two universes merging? Will our heroes' secrets be revealed? And what of this mysterious datum that the Chee are forbidden to know?

  • Sally-Anne Perks and the Siege of Troy

    Or, "Reading the (Great) Books, Part I". Because there are more important things than changing history.

  • The Art of Being a Hover Fly

    Or, how a couple ordinary criminous schmoes like Birdbrain and me made our way to the top of Gotham City's Most Wanted. A monologue by Selina Kyle.

  • …And I Love You Very Much

    An epilogue to "Living Doll", exploring young Christy's reactions to the events of that episode. ("Tina, I don't think that was a very nice thing you did.")

  • Here Be Firebirds

    In which Susan Ivanova is a fabulous monster from Russian folklore, and that's fine with her. My contribution to the Fatima Challenge.

  • Take My Hand, My Son

    On the evening of a new villain's emergence, Dick Grayson glimpses a side of his new guardian that he never imagined was there, and a fantastic possibility arises in his mind. And that's just the first of many surprises he'll have before the day is done.

  • Sacred Host

    Somewhere in the Yeerk pool, you know someone is doing this.

  • Emendation

    A drabble revealing one of the hidden verses of the G.R.O.S.S. password - or, rather, two of it.

  • Reminders

    How poetry entered the life of the Community, and what came about as a result.

  • Restocked

    Drabble. People make fun of the Magi's taste in gifts - but, really, to a Near Eastern tradesman fleeing to Egypt…

  • Pinecones

    Just another drabble to add to my list of "replies to ff clichés I've seen once too often".

  • Deru Kui

    Sometime between Dumbledore's departure from Hogwarts and the Weasley twins', Hannah Abbott's D.A. loyalty earns her the spiteful denigration of one of her Housemates, and it's up to Anthony Goldstein to console her. Soppiness, social commentary, and Ogden Nash references abound.
