Fic: Prophylaxis
Wordcount: 1405
Summary: Vierna wonders sometimes if the flaws of the old jumpships have fallen wholly out of human memory; Jarlaxle would know, perhaps, but she daren't turn his mind to the question if it isn't already there.

( No one can deny that these are difficult times... )

This was supposed to be a fill for scratchedagain  on the AU meme ("In Herding Cats, how would they all respond should one (or several) of them at some point realize they would like to have children?"), but the characters refused to play along. I think I set it too early in the timeline, so that's a conversation that'll have to wait for another day.

Summary: Still on the road north this AU is an eternal roadtrip, Dahlia struggles with emotions about motherhood and finds solace in her companions. Meanwhile, Jarlaxle asks prying questions. Herding Cats AU.

Yet more herding cats AU.

Takes place at the end of the Last Threshold, after Jarlaxle rescues them from Draygo Quick's castle.  In the same AU as Testing Links and Limits, so there is already-established Dahlia/Drizzt/Entreri.  Takes place before Sparks in the Night.

(Note:  There are around twenty ways Jarlaxle's conversation with Artemis could have gone.  This is the "healthy communication for everyone" AU, but I'm keeping the less optimistic routes on standby for various other fic notions.)

So the effective premise for my "herding cats" AU (which I haven't posted much of yet) is basically that, if people actually would communicate with each other like adults, they could be braiding flowers into each others' hair in a sunlit meadow instead of trying to kill each other and running off into blizzards.

This is, I guess, the endpoint of that premise.  Sometime after The Last Threshold.  The companions of the hall, if they are alive, are not in this fic.

Summary:  Polyamorous hair-braiding in a sunlit meadow.  Artemis/Dahlia/Drizzt/Jarlaxle.  Possibly the most saccharine thing I've ever written.

More space-opera fic. This one takes place not long after Stowaway and will hopefully offer new insight on Fire Point.

Summary: In which Drizzt meets Alustriel Silverhand, famed geneticist, under less-than-ideal circumstances. (Title from Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay.")

( they're kindred instruments you know, the scalpel and the plow )

Summary: Pre-Maestro, missing scene fic. Something to fill in the gaps from Entreri going from refusing to exist in the same city as Jarlaxle to asking for his help. (Title from Robert Frost's 'To the Thawing Wind.')

I felt like warming up the writerly muscles, so I put my music on shuffle and wrote for each song that came up, for as long as it was playing. Nothing here but ficlets, but it was fun.
