Dear yuletide Holiday Fairy,

Happy Holidays! Thank you for signing up for one of my fandoms! I will love whatever you write, whether you go with the prompts or have a completely different idea. :)

The prompts in my sign up are intended to help inspire, not to constrain. So, please feel free to twist them around however you like, or to ignore them completely. I've left two prompts for each fandom in an attempt to be helpful; they aren't intended to be combined. (Although of course if you have an idea and want to do so, that would be great.) Again - please ignore the prompts if they aren't your style, or if you're the type of writer who works best with a blank canvas.

My only squicks are watersports/scat/Roman showers, incest, and underage (15 or so). I love darkfic and dark themes, but I'm not generally fond of hurt/comfort. Crack/Humor is great. I love femslash, gen, het, and slash equally.

Mostly, have fun! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Cheers,
Archon/GreenSpine

The Bean earned a reward a little bit ago and decided she wants a hamster. :)

Before I go out and spend the money on a new cage, wheel, etc., I thought I'd ask if anyone has a used set in good condition they'd be willing to sell?

When I was a girl, I had a toy that was basically a handheld calculator made by Texas Instruments called Dataman. (Link to one on eBay is here.) It worked like flash cards at varying levels of difficulty for basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (with what amounts to VERY basic Algebra like []+8=16). There were also simple games along these lines. I honestly credit this toy with giving me a strong early interest and ability in math.

My daughter's asked for flash cards, which I intend to get, but I'd also like to get her something like this. She has a Leapster handheld, which she enjoys, but to be honest, I don't see that the games are really all that educational - they're mostly pretty easy and seem more focused on the game than the learning.

Anyway, I might pick up a Dataman from eBay, but if there's a more modern version of it out there somewhere, I'd rather go that route.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Title: Throwing glass at stone houses

Rating/Warnings: PG, fairytale
Spoilers: All of S4
Word Count: 7,700
Notes/Prompt(s): Written for extraonions for the Renegade Angels challenge at deancastiel. Prompt after the story due to spoilers. A special thanks to the_glass_onion for her help and ideas, which I've gratefully used, and to thistlerose for the awesome beta. Any mistakes left are purely my own.
Summary: Lucifer is finally defeated, but Castiel has gone missing. Dean won't give up until he is found.

( Throwing glass at stone houses )

One day, an angel appears and makes you an offer you can't refuse. In exchange, you must give over your body to the angel completely.

You agree to this. The possession turns out to be very uncomfortable. Most of the time, you are unaware of what's going on, but you do catch bits and pieces here and there.

During the time the angel is in your body, you are shot, stabbed, blown up like a can of Chunky soup (praise be to the Prophet Chuck for the visual), and the angel has consensual sex with someone you wouldn't have chosen yourself.

The angel keeps his/her promises, and your body is eventually returned to your control in good condition.

I'm a little bit behind on everything - but wanted to point everyone to the postings (complete!) at mctabby's Cat's Birthday HP Drabblethon 5. Loads of excellent drabbles (though many are longer than 100 words).

My prompt was filled by the_gentleman in an unexpected and very, very funny way. The prompt was: Inferi vs. Dementors: Two of Voldie's would-be successors battle for status using dark creatures., and the drabble is here. Highly recommended!

I wrote for elanor_x. Her prompt was: A conversation between Voldemort and Albus Severus. (V doesn't know (at first) who the boy is). It's been a very long time since I've written anything HP, but I'm pleased with the 449 word result, which is here.

A/N: Written for Team Heaven for the spn_teamfic Oscar Wilde quote prompt: "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." A last-minute attempt to bump up Team Heaven's count. (go Team Heaven!)
