here is a tale of the trees in the wood

So, I had the bright idea of making text icons using quotes from The Princess Diaries. These are from the fourth book, Princess in Waiting, but hopefully there will be more from the other books coming soon (I've already got all the ones from the fifth marked with those little Post-It flags). In the meantime, enjoy!

Comment, credit, you guys all know the dance by now, I'm sure. Enjoy!

Title: I have no missionary zeal
Author: Twinkledru J.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Disclaimer: Rowling, Bloomsbury, Scholastic, etc; I'm making no money off of this.
Rating: Teen
Notes: Ginny Weasley/Draco Malfoy. Title is from Sarah Slean's "Playing Cards With Judas".

( After Draco is taken in by the Order, he finds rather another source of direction. )

Title: Saved from that eternal silence
Author: Twinkledru J.
Rating: Teen/Gen
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Disclaimer: Bruckheimer, Disney, et al.
Notes: For just_reed, as a make-up fic in sarkastic's Norrington ficathon. She wanted Sparrington, good James sarcasm/snark, Elizabeth's redemption. The Sparrington... er. You kind of have to really want to see it, but I hope she likes it anyway.

( They bring back Jack. )

I made art! Like, I drew something, and scanned it in, and colored it in PS! And it doesn't suck!

( PotC, Jack/Elizabeth, PG: 'Welcome to the Caribbean, Love' )

I was going more for Elizabeth looking annoyed and Jack isn't quite over-the-top enough in his leering, but considering that this is the first time I've done anything better than stick figures, that the only thing I'm really not happy with is somewhat bland facial expressions is pretty damn good. Just have to practice more, obvs. *beams*

So yes. Not fabulous, but cute, I think, and again, considering that about a month ago I was pretty much just at stick figures, I'm pleased.

Title: The Same Birds
Author: Twinkledru J.
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Rating: Teen
Disclaimer: Disney, Bruckheimer, blah blah blah.
Notes: Written for sarkastic's Norrington ficathon. Specifically, for makeyourmusic, who requested Sparrington, rum, a post-film setting, and a happy ending. Elizabeth having insisted on being my POV character, the Sparrington is therefore not as explicit as I was hoping I could make it, but given how rusty my pr0n writing skills are lately, that may be more a blessing than anything else. &grin;

( A great deal has changed. )

Title: Five Dates Abigail Chase Regrets Going On
Author: Twinkledru J.
Fandom: Primarily National Treasure, with crossovers into The X-Files, James Bond, Indiana Jones and Arrested Development.
Rating: All
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: Credit for the idea goes to roz_mcclure, as do belated birthday wishes, since the fic I wanted to write for her birthday isn't cooperating.

( Abigail's dating history is rather more colorful than others' may be. )

Title: Orpheus Come
Author: Twinkledru J.
Fandom: DCU (Teen Titans)
Spoilers: Infinite Crisis/One Year Later
Pairing(s): Tim/Cassie/Kon
Rating: Teen

( The Orpheus thing is easier when your brother runs the underworld. )

Written for the femslash_today fourth of July porn battle. Expect several other ficlets (only requirement is that the pieces be short enough to fit in a single comment, so ficlets) in this vein throughout the weekend.

Title: No
Author: Twinkledru J.
Rating: Adult
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Disclaimer: Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, Fox, all that good stuff. None of the rights are mine.

Title: Grief (the youngest of the three)

Notes: My (slightly delayed) contribution to viola_dreamwalk's Behind Every Good Woman Rare Het challenge. Post-apocalyptic AU. Title from Rainer Maria Rilke's "Sonnets to Orpheus VIII".

( You can see, around her motionless shoulders, a feeling/dawns -- we sense more and more that [Grief] is the youngest... )

Title: Stood and Fell
Author: Twinkledru J.
Rating: Adult
Notes: Buffy/Giles. Just post-"Prophecy Girl". Title and summary from Kate Rusby's "The Lark".
Disclaimer: Totally Joss's, not mine.

( there I was waiting for all love brings/there I stood and there I fell/out in the field that I knew well )

I try not to toot my own horn unnecessarily, but I think, in this instance, it needs to be done.

I give you what is, without hyperbole, the AWESOMEST THING I HAVE EVER CREATED.

That's right.
