friends only.

PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME.

Ahem.

These two have become my latest obsession...

Title: Just An Old Sweet Song
Pairing: Nick/Miley, Disney RPF
Rating: PG-13 (underage drinking! and mild cursing! teh horror!)
Summary: "This wasn’t what she’d had in mind when she’d called Mandy as soon as she landed, updating her Twitter at the baggage claim (“Girls night out with my bestie MANDERZZZ!”) and ignoring the feeling in the pit of her stomach that LA looked kind of dull and hazy compared to where she had spent her past few months breathing in the sea and sky. "

( Other arms reach out to me | Other eyes smile tenderly | Still in peaceful dreams I see | The road leads back to you | Georgia, Georgia, No peace, no peace I find | Just this old, sweet song | Keeps Georgia on my mind )

A/N: This is completely self-indulgent. Apologies in advance.

Title: you've got to mean it
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Harry Potter. Hermione-centric, with a touch of Ron/Hermione, but mainly just Hermione. Takes place right before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Summary: "The measures they had taken to protect their families made him realize, more than anything else could have done, that they really were going to come with him and that they knew exactly how dangerous that would be." Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, p. 99

AN: I started thinking after rereading this book recently about how people make all sorts of sacrifices to protect the ones they love during times of war. And then the whole "greater good" thing made me wonder exactly how far people would go...

( for the greater good )

46 Degrassi
3 Gossip Girl
34 OTH/Sophia Bush


Maybe if I clean these out I'll get some better inspiration...

This fic was posted on my old LJ; I wrote it about 3 years ago.  I'm transfering it over to this LJ so I can do a comprehensive listing of all my fics... so if you think you've read this before, you're entirely correct.  =D




Title:  Foresight Is So Often Blind
Rating:  R
Pairing:  Jay/Alex
Summary:  Alex can see the road, the path, her past, her future.  AU after Secret.

( that's one effing large shark to be jumping )

real update and catching up on comments will come when I'm not so full of RAGE.

+Thanks for everyone who commented on my last entry. I'm doing better.

+I adored HSM2. It was over the top and cheesy and campy and full of awesome. And I'll bet $10 that somewhere there is a drag queen rehearsing a performance of "Bet On It."

+Fall TV season is almost here! Summer went by really fast, I'm so excited for PB, Supernatural, The Office, Pushing Daisies, and seeing which shows will be canceled first. However, the K-Fed news reaffirms my faith that One Tree Hill is the absolute worst show on television. Go Schwann and co., for continuing to bring the show to previously uncharted lows!

+I made a few random icons. Preview:




( the rest )

+A few songs I uploaded, if anyone wants them feel free, just let me know what you take. =)

Swing Life Away by Rise Against
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JAPEZU9K

Save Me by Shinedown
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6IN3UHG6

Does anyone on my flist have either of these songs that they would want to upload for me?

The Mary Getaway by The Working Title

Also, a picspam, because I'm in a horrible mood and want to cheer myself up.

( as you whisper in my ear when the pain is too much )

Ok.

So if any of you remember way back in the days of the summer of 2004, when I first joined FF, there were a group of us who used to post in the BL thread -- me, Aleah, punk, Rosie, Dani, Judy, Grace, Mere, Lisa, Janine, Ciera, a few people I know I'm forgetting.

And we never, ever, EVER stayed on topic, because this was before the OTH mods went psychotic. So we talked about all sorts of stuff, and spammed the thread with pictures of Michael Phelps and NSYNC. And then Judy and Dani introduced me to a fic about NSYNC being gay horses that wore costumes and had lots of sex with each other.

No, really.

And somehow, through the industrious use of google and scrolling through old FF links, i have refound this fic.

This is just about the best. day. ever.

( Horse!J.C. wears a sparkly pink halter top -- is there anything else you need to know? )

Also, while doing more old FF searching, I found a song I wrote about the Nathan/Lucas relationship based on "I'll Never Tell" from Once More With Feeling.

( I talk, he breezes / He doesn't know what please is / He's always emoting with the squinty eyes )



I miss the old days of FF.

Bunches of icons, some older, some newer, some less crappy than others.

OTH (mostly Brooke/Sophia)
Degrassi (mostly Ellie/Stacey)
Zac Efron/Vanessa Hudgens
Ricky Ulman/Brenda Song

I'll be completely shocked if anyone is still reading this.

If you can't remember what previously happened (hey, I barely did) you can find the previous chapters at ff.net here:  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3087352/1/How_Love_Should_Be

Feedback warms my heart.

How Love Should Be:  Chapter 6
Rating:  PG-13
Summary:  Things Brooke Davis shouldn't do:  Tequila shots.  Seedy bars.  Oh, and Chris Keller.  Brooke/Chris, AU after season 3.

... really.

+ So since I last updated, I've moved. I'm now living in a 6th floor walkup (my calves are looking lovely!) with a girl I know from work. We have 2 tvs, 2 dvd players, 2 cats, and all 10 seasons of Friends between the two of us. My cat, Greta, is a well behaved Angel. Her cat, Socrates, is a spawn of hell with teeth like razors who chewed through my laptop charger. Hence, I am internet-less for the time being. I'm sneaking in this post on a work computer. I attempted to catch up on reading my flist and gave up after entry 500 or so.

+ By some sort of divine intervention, I have checked LJ apparently the exact day Summer returned from the dead. Soulmoats like WOAH.

+ I changed most of my userpics. I've had the same default icon pretty much since I got this LJ, so it's weird seeing the new one. Kels once told me she associates my face with that picture of Tyler in a scarf, so hopefully I haven't traumatized anyone.

+ Because I am light years behind popular culture, i have just started watching The Office. I'm on season two, and tonight I'm going to resume my viewing with Booze Cruise, which I have heard awesome things about. And I feel like alot of people don't like Pam and find Jim/Pam to be played out, but I haven't seen the third season, so they are all fresh and awesome and adorable to me.

+ My job is awesome and I love it and I think being promoted was one of the better things that's ever happened to me. That said, yesterday I had to fire someone for the first time. It was horrible. I felt (and still feel) like a terrible person. I sat in the office and fought back tears for ten minutes after I did it. I'm 23 years old and I'm enjoying far more sucess than someone my age justifiably should... so I guess that it's natural there are downsides. I just can't get over the fact that I had to do it.

+ Harry Potter book and movie this month. YES.

+ Does anyone on my flist read the Stephanie Plum books? I just bought and read Lean Mean Thirteen and I want someone to gush about it with me!

I've missed you all and would love to hear any random things you have to say to me...

Title:  Hypnotic (have I used this for a fic before?  I can't remember)
Pairing:  Nathan/Brooke
Spoilers:  through 4x14
Rating:  PG











And now, a 414 related rant.  I can't keep track of who ships who anymore, so if you like NH together, and don't like NB, you don't want to click below.   Mild spoilers for future eps included.

Happy birthday puredreamer05 !



You are one of the sweetest, funniest, and all around coolest people I know. I love you so much and I'm so glad that we're friends. Hope you have an amazing birthday! *hugs*

Title: House of Cards
Rating: R
Pairing: Brooke/? One Tree Hill. No, I'm not giving it away.
Spoilers: Goes AU after Lucas cheats on Brooke with Peyton during season one.
AN: Oh, boy. Um, yeah, this has been floating around in my head for awhile and will not get out. Look, you all know I'm weird and twisted, right? Yeah. I'd be really, really interested to see what people think of this, because I've never done 2nd person POV before, and because... yeah, you'll understand when you read it.

I think I'm saving images "wrong" somehow, because they are looking far more blurry than they did when I had them open in PS.  Anyone have any advice on this?  Should I be saving them in a different format than jpeg?  Not using photobucket?

Ah well, at least Sophia and Jensen are still purty, even if they're kind of pixel-y.

And if you're asking "Wow, Betsy, are you going to use that picture of Sophia from Giant Magazine in every art you make?"  the answer is yes, yes I am.  Because that is quite possibly one of the hottest pictures I've ever seen.

do_not_confess mentioned that she'd want to see my Bring It On icons, so here ya go. Warning, they're all Missy centric, because my love for Eliza Dushku knows know bounds. Also a few random Degrassi, Gavin Rossdale, Eliza Dushku, and Wentworth Miller icons I haven't posted. Comment, credit, etc, etc.


Also, I am thinking about writing Brooke/Dan fic. Does this automatically condemn me to hell?

Written in celebration of the 100th Sean/Ellie thread at fanforum.

Title: Sum of These Parts
Pairing: Sean/Ellie, Degrassi TNG
Rating: PG13
Spoilers: Minor speculation about season six based on spoilers, very AU after that.
