From the front, they're these little espresso-cup sized birds with the red head tuft and the pretty song are cute, but from the back they might belong to the vampire family instead:

Found in a document with some cryptic alphanumeric file name:

I'm sure there must have been more to it, but damned if I can remember. *frowns*

Title: Frameshift
Category/Rating: Fringe/Firestarter, PG
Summary: Fringe Division picks up a new case. Parallels abound. (post-season 4)
Disclaimer: I have taken liberties. Many of them.
A/N: For rainer76, who asked for the Bishop boys interacting, and then offered me free reign. Sadly, the reigns were a little too free. Hope you like it anyhow.
Thanks to kerithwyn for the beta. All remaining mistakes belong to me.

I'm supposed to be working on my yearly employee eval. This is more fun.

Number of finished pieces: 14
Word Count: 40418

Last Turnoff Before Ascension (BSG - 955 words) A Canadian Shack fic about resurrection, and possibly the danger in drinking found liquor
das Über-Ich (Fringe - 1026 words) What's running through Walter's mind during a key moment in Brave New World.
Four Days and Change (Fringe - 1033 words) Not originally intended as a prequel to das Über-Ich, but it worked out that way, from Olivia's point of view.
Mnemonic Breadcrumbs (Fringe - 578 words) Walter might talk about things like scent triggering memory association, but Olivia's got a few tricks of her own.
Giving All My Secrets Away (Fringe - 2407 words) Kinkmeme fill for the prompt "Peter wants to know what Olivia dreams about"
Drown Out the Crowd (Fringe - 3774 words) 'nother kinkmeme fill, this time about mind reading, whisky, and white dress shirts.
Looking Glass (Fringe - 598 words) A little tag to monanotlisa's Flooded All the Streams, which she then went and podficced! (eeee! \o/) - Olivia remembers a certain piece of tech that will let them see the Other Side again.
A Garden Planted (BSG - 14293 words) An AU of season 4.5, where Kara contemplates her mortality, and Lee worries about doing the right thing. Doesn't sound that much different than canon.
Home, Wherever You Find Yourself (SG-1 - 1728 words) Timestamp to that series about Sam and Jack being stranded off-world
A Better Plan (SG-1 - 342 words) Timestamp to a very old S/J piece
Stay With the One Who Wants You (Fringe - 542 words) Timestamp to Dance with the one who Brung You
A Seed Sprouted (BSG - 649 words) Timestamp fill to A Garden Planted. (there's a theme here, didja catch it? *g*)
The hours grow shorter as the days go by (Fringe - 928 words) Timestamp to Bleeding Daylight
Plus, a certain to-be revealed (if you haven't already figured it out first) story written for this year's fringe_exchange (Fringe - 11565 words)

Anybody have a copy of Firestarter handy? Mine's gone missing at some point over the years (I read it in second grade, it's been a while!) and so far the internet doesn't seem to think this particular fact is worth checking: I need to know the name of the college where Andy McGee participated in the Lot 6 experiments. Please and thank you. :)

*Eta: Found by 'rith and elf. :)

To rec this:

Title: The Preservation of Cultural Heritage
Fandom: Fringe
Rating: All Ages
Characters: Astrid and Walter
Season/Timeline: Blueverse? Or some 'verse where Walter owns MD, anyway.
Word Count: ~700
Summary: The first box arrives on Wednesday afternoon. Humor.

Because getting mrspollifax hooked on Fringe was one of the best ideas ever.

One more timestamp fill. I know I've fallen behind on these, but to be honest, these last two requests have been the hardest because I was going back to the very first story I wrote in this fandom - not that that's the bad part, it's just scratching around made me realize that the there was so much more potential in that 'verse, even though the meme says I only needed to dig up about 100 words. Anyhow, this one's for wikiaddicted723 who wanted – Bleeding Daylight – anytime afterwards.

Still working on the other one, Rainer. Very slowly. :)

Thanksgiving long weekend, followed by a short week wherein there is just as much to do as in a regular week is not as much of a holiday as it seems. However, there was, and still is pie.

Things have been too busy around here lately to have an opinion on anything, so here you go all at once. *g*

( So, Fringe )

Seems I haven't made a post here in ages without spamming y'all with pictures. Wouldn't want to break that trend. ;)

I managed to find some cheap graduated neutral density filters and filter mount online a while back, and by cheap, I mean inexpensive - not brandname, but good enough for my level of photography that I can play with them and decide if this is something worth splurging on more expensive glass or resin filters. Basically, what a graduated ND filter allows you to do is use a slower shutter speed or a wider aperture than you normally would be able to use in bright conditions in order to allow more light (and hence, brighter colors, or that misty look to waterfalls and oceans) through the lens. You can also use them to even out the ground and the sky in a landscape shot without the need to over- or under-expose one or the other.

So, even though it was snowing/raining out the day they arrived, there I was sinking into the not-yet-frozen river bank to try them out:

So it seems my writing brain needs far too much in the way of backstory to be able to write only three sentences, so...

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Everything up for grabs is here at the AO3
