Fic: Things That Did Not Happen in 2011

So... [livejournal.com profile] dw_straybunnies had a special Brig!fic challenge this month, for obvious reasons. The challenge was "The Brigadier in other eras, or other eras with the Brigadier"; Two, Five, Six, Eight and/or their companions were preferred, since they seldom show up with the Brig in fic (though as usual in a Straybunnies challenge, pretty much anything was allowed).

I'm not even sure what happened, but this is what I wrote.

Title: Things That Did Not Happen in 2011
Stats: 300-ish words. Gen; worksafe (hey, it's me). Nine, Jamie, Zoe.
Warnings: Major character death. This is Brig!funeral fic, and not the nice saccharine sort I usually prefer.

Credits: Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] calapine's excellent "School Reunion" tag His Story, quoted herein, and by something [livejournal.com profile] lost_spook said and something Rusty did.

Also lost_spook made me a gorgeous banner for it, which is under the cut because this header is Long Enough Already.

Ficlet: Last Man Standing

So I just learned today (from [livejournal.com profile] patina106) that Pernell Roberts died last Sunday. Y'all probably know him better as Adam Cartwright from Bonanza.

I don't think I've even mentioned Bonanza on here before, as it's not a fandom I write or read fic in... but it's one of my favorite TV shows, for all that. I'm happy just to watch it, and don't feel any need to improve or expand upon it. And Adam was - is - my favorite character; ask anyone I know IRL about the black cowboy hat I wear winter and summer, the answer will start with "She likes Adam Cartwright." (I also have a black vest for the same reason, but I'm not quite as inseparable from it...)

Anyway, I was slightly surprised when I discovered I was writing Pernell/Adam a tribute fic. I didn't even think I could write tribute fic!

(I still don't know if I can. Is this any good?)

Title: Last Man Standing
Summary: Adam comes back home.
Notes: Gen. Not sure what to rate, as I guess it's kind of deathfic, though hopefully not the depressing kind...

Back at the ranch... )
