I write stuff. I make vids. I work a lot. Not much else to know. I try to keep it simple. Formerly known as wildtrak or blueswift. 

Creating a DW blog to house all of my fic WIPs and newly posted works, because I'm old and I don't like tumblr. 

Masterlist of Works coming soon.


So back to square one again now that I've posted two complete fics - Part 1 of Tragedy in the Margins is done, and my other new WIP In Quicksand is out the door at 50k. I managed a consistent 500 words a day for that one and it took 97 days to complete.

So I'm back to trying to figure out which WIP deserves my attention now, or if I'm going to be a silly idiot and start something new...
The Third Whale (Russell/Tom, Tom/Mariel, Mariel/Russell) - Invasion
Wrote = 2074 words
New Total = 21,725

Tragedy in the Margins (Alex/Michael) - Prison Break
Wrote = 1,843 words
Part 1 New total = 26,282

Only 4k this week - had a lot of other work on and didn't get to achieve as much as I would have liked. Bring on the weekend!
The Third Whale (Russell/Tom, Tom/Mariel, Mariel/Russell) - Invasion
Wrote = 4,209 words
New Total = 19,651

Tragedy in the Margins (Alex/Michael) - Prison Break
Wrote = 1,965 words
New total = 47,621 (split into 2 parts)
Part 1 New total = 24,439

Back up to almost 1k/day again thank god. These stories are both so long...why do I do this to myself??
The Third Whale (Russell/Tom, Tom/Mariel, Mariel/Russell) - Invasion
Wrote = 4049 words
New Total = 15,442
The Third Whale (Russell/Tom, Tom/Mariel, Mariel/Russell) - Invasion
Wrote = 1079 words
New Total = 11,393

Tragedy in the Margins (Alex/Michael) - Prison Break
Wrote = 167 words
New total = 45,656

Not so great this week, but in my defence I nearly died of a prescription drug overdose (by accident) on Monday and had a car crash on Thursday.
Crisis averted, I've remembered how to type words on a page.

The Third Whale (Russell/Tom, Tom/Mariel, Mariel/Russell) - Invasion

Wrote = 8,690 words
New Total = 10,313
Things are not good.

I started a new empty document, wrote 171 words, and then ran aground on a reef of indecision. I have no idea what the story should be...in fact I have no ideas period.

It's fucking dire, and I'm trying not to freak out. People have lulls in their writing all the time, but the days of thumping out 15k in a week seem very far away.
 It's always scary to log into Google Docs and see "Last edit was 7 days ago" on your main WIP 😅

Tragedy in the Margins (Alex/Michael) - Prison Break 
Wrote = 520 words
New total = 45,489

The Third Whale (Russell/Tom, Tom/Mariel, Mariel/Russell) - Invasion
Wrote = 50 words 😭
New Total = 1,623 

Yeah, so not a good week last week. Though I did get a bunch of stuff transferred from my Tumblr to this blog. I have a few GIF projects I'd like to do, but my current laptop will likely die if I so much as breathe on it. Time to start saving for a new one, I think. 
I started this story after a prompt on the Move Your Seat Up discord. Posting for WIP Amnesty Wednesday.

If you're too young to remember, Early Edition was a cute show from 1996 that ran for 4 seasons. It was about a regular guy who suddenly starts receiving the newspaper a whole day in advance, and decides to try and save the world. 

I really loved this concept for Sam, so I wrote a short meet-cute between him and Bucky. 


The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - Early Edition AU
1K Words
Rating: G
Sam Wilson / Bucky Barnes


Sam would like to blame it on the terrible night’s sleep, but when he hears the faint thwap of a paper landing on his front porch accompanied by the disgruntled meow of a cat who doesn’t enjoy the D.C. precipitation, he rolls over, puts his pillow over his head and screams a little bit.

This week on Wild watches weird shows from the early 2000s that no one has heard of… MDs (2002)

Starring: John Hannah and William Fichtner



This wasn’t even a one and done. 10 episodes were shot but only 8 aired (truly tragic), so we will never know how it was supposed to end. It’s a medical show about doctors who take malicious compliance to new heights in their efforts to give their patients good medical care, against the wishes of the insurance company. Topical, for a twenty year old show.Read more... )

Hawaii Five-0 - Halfway Home - Part 1
Rated PG
Steve McGarrett / Danny Williams
Mentions of prescription drug use/reliance, mental health issues
Post-Series Fix It (eventually)

Danny's life starts to go downhill with Steve's departure, made worse by the fact that Steve has dropped out of communication almost entirely. When a report comes in of an incident of vigilantism in Maine by a man matching Steve's description, Danny embarks on a journey to find his missing friend.


Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3


“Son of a bitch!”

Genuinely, Danny tries not to sweat the small stuff. It goes against his very nature, but he is trying. He’s self-aware enough to acknowledge that without Steve around to listen to his usual griping, it’s sucked the fun out of it, and it’s getting harder to pretend that he doesn’t really mean it when he complains about how much he hates his life.Read more... )

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3



The next morning, actual optimism is asking a bit much of his beleaguered body, but by the time the Hawaiian sun has warmed him as he sits out on the lanai, he’s feeling a little bit more human.Read more... )

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3


Grace forwards him a text without comment, save for a worried face emoji, and Danny starts to panic.

//Hey kiddo! I’m heading out of cell range soon, so don’t be worried if you don’t hear from me for a while. Call Auntie Kono if there’s an emergency and she’ll find a way to reach me. Love you Gracie, and tell Danno and Charlie I love them too//

“Tell us yourself, you stubborn asshole!” Danny throws the phone across the room. Eddie gives him a judgemental glare from the couch as the phone lands with a cracking sound. Read more... )
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - Excess Baggage - Pilot!Sam/ATC!Bucky AU
500 Words
Rated PG
Sam Wilson / Bucky Barnes
Unprofessional Rivalry

MiniFic written for Yavannie while we waited for Glittercake's MTH Auction fic to arrive.

Sam never usually has to go through the baggage claim with the paying customers, and for good reason—it’s a goddamn free-for-all where inevitably some poor old dear will grab his bag and insist it's hers, cause a scene and make him wish he’d chosen another profession.

Granted, that only happened one time, but Sam isn’t in a hurry for a repeat. Unless they start posting “Pilots Wanted” ads for Antarctica, he’s going to have to keep dealing with the general public some of the time. Read more... )
Fright Night - An Even Sum
1.7k words
Peter & Amy Pre-relationship, implied Peter/Amy/Charley OT3
Rated PG
Post-Canon

After successfully staking Jerry and freeing Amy and Peter, Charley leaves Las Vegas to study vampire lore overseas. Amy and Peter keep each other company while they wait for him to return.


Peter watches the minutes tick by on the airport departures board with a put upon expression. Both of his legs lost all sensation half an hour ago when he elected, stupidly, to sit with them dangling over the back of one of the vacant plastic bench seats. But he's committed to a posture of nonchalant nonconformity, and he is rather enjoying the glare from the middle-aged flight attendant sitting at the desk opposite.

But to be fair, the glare might be more on account of his two young companions and their mouth noises. Don't get him wrong, he's swapped a lot worse than a bit of spit, but they've hardly come up for air since they sat down. He's both tremendously bored of it and impressed at the same time.

Canon-typical violence and gore
I feel your touch, under my skin
Where you stop, that’s where I begin
I’m feeling weak, take pity on me
This isn’t love, it’s dangerous
