Story Title: Debt of Blood

Fandom: DCU Batfam

Link(s): http://archiveofourown.org/works/7665850

Summary: Spyral sends Dick and Tiger out to gather intel about the League of Assassins, and Dick finds someone he never expected to see alive again.

His three missions are at odds with one another, but in the end, he makes the only choice he knows how to make, and, much to Tiger's surprise, everything works out in the end.

But is it really all that surprising?

Warnings Canon typical violence, some gore.
Characters: Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson, the Tiger King of Kandahar, Ra's al Ghul
Pairings: Damian Wayne & Dick Grayson fraternal feels, background/established Dick Grayson/Tiger
When I Started: Winter 2015
How I Lost My Shit: I was a bit homeless for awhile, and my whole world was kind of in arrears, so I kind of stopped right as the action was getting good. I posted what I had on Valentine's Day because I had literally nothing else to offer fandom that month, and it was a lot more popular than what I expected.
How I Finished My Shit: Kicking and screaming. Seriously, there are parts of this that have ended up being rewritten three and four times. I had every fandom friend I've ever met reading it and rereading it, trying to pull together some semblance of a story. I'm not even 100% sure it's really "finished"; I never included some scenes I want, and I think maybe I leave too many questions unanswered at the end. But it feels complete to me, and I'm quite glad to wash my hands of it as a WIP.

My artist had me include her art in the AO3 post, so I'll put in her part here:

 Story Title: The Revival Job

Fandom: Forever

Link: AO3

Summary: Joanna Reece and her team of con artists are after a rare art piece in the hands of a man known only as 'Adam'. It looks like it will be a straightforward job until their backer, Henry Morgan--who seems to have a history with the mark--gets involved and things start to get complicated.

Warnings:

Characters: Jo Martinez, Joanna Reece, Molly Dawes | Iona Payne, Abigail, Henry Morgan, Abe Morgan, Adam

Pairings: Henry/Abigail

When I Started: I originally started this for the Big Reveal Forever Ficathon sometime between July and September of 2015.

How I Lost My Shit: This story is pretty plotty, especially compared to what I usually write. I just didn’t give myself enough time to finish in time for the original ficathon, so I had to drop out. I never had enough motivation to finish without a deadline.

How I Finished My Shit: Looming deadlines and a lot of panicking. A lot of revision too. There were so many times that I would have an idea for a section/detail/scene and then I’d start writing, and have to stop part way through and go “...Wait a second. That doesn’t work because of x.” There was a lot of going back to the drawing board. There’s a reason I don’t write plot heavy stories very often. But the more dialogue heavy/character heavy stuff was what kept me going. Not to mention the fact that an almost all ladies heist AU was super fun to write. :D
