a taste of Hunger...

Updated my website at http://www.myrandomepiphany.com today. It now contains all 35 stories, all 181,000 words, the entire over-a-megabyte of MCR fanfic I've written. w00t.

Meanwhile, it's been over 2 months since I've written anything, and I'm sorry about that. I've been busy - Real Life's been kicking my ass (though for all that, it's been pretty good to me) and I've been spending a lot of time RPing, which sort of derails the writing urge. I do have something that I've sort of been working on intermittently, though; and so, for your reading pleasure and to whet your appetite (so to speak) I'm posting a few excerpts here. The finished product will probably feature everyone-plus-Brian-slash-everyone-else, it's that kind of fic, and since it's at 61.8Kb now and nowhere near complete, it's probably going to be fairly long by the time it's done. Working title is Hunger.

status update, and: RP?

I haven't posted anything in an eon, I know. I do have something in the works, but it'll be awhile longer - Real Life is eating me alive, and the thing I'm working on is fairly epic, so.

In the meantime, I'm looking for people who might be interested in IM roleplay? AIM is preferred - drop me a comment with your s/n or email address (or both) if you're interested. All comments are screened, so will remain private.

gerard way death HOAX

Figured I'd drop this post before anything caught fire.

The Gerard Way car crash thing? Total hoax. The a-holes at 4chan thought it'd be funny. Screen captures here. (Warning: not safe for work.)

Pass along that link anywhere you see the "news" reprinted, eh? Cheers.

Wings
by Random Epiphany

Sometimes, Gerard can't sleep: and when insomnia strikes, he sits at his computer and surfs the internet, typing in the strangest search terms he can think of and going from link to link, seeing where his aimless meanderings will take him. He's learned more minutae about freaky sex practices that way, including things that he hopes to try someday; he's discovered a whole world of trivia, about archaeology and the history of suspension bridges and methods of making cheese and a thousand other things, and every so often he mentions some random fact or another to the guys, just to cement his reputation as "the weird one" and delight in the quizzical looks on their faces when he does it.

It's 'round about three-thirty in the morning... )

Simple
by Random Epiphany

It starts out slowly. He shows up on his best friend's doorstep late at night, because the nightmares won't leave him alone, demons pressing in on him from every angle, and the beautiful part is that he doesn't even have to explain: "C'mon in," Frank says, and Mikey does, and it's just as simple as that.

He curls up on the couch under a ratty old blanket that smells like Frank, and it feels more like home than home does, and he sleeps more soundly than he has in weeks.

~ EPILOGUE ~ ONE YEAR LATER ~


The cheers of the crowd follow them backstage, as the adrenaline excitement of the show slowly ebbs away; and this is the moment Gerard anticipates and dreads with equal passion, the moment when it's all over, work done for the night, his raison d'etre past and gone - at least until tomorrow, when it'll start all over again.

There's a strange, unaccustomed feeling of normalcy about awakening in his own bedroom, in his own bed, and a brand-new wondrous joy in awakening with Gerard's arms wrapped snugly around him, and even before his eyes are open, Frank is smiling.

The day passes in an endless slide-show flickering haze of highways and music and idle conversation punctuated by laughter. Careful repacking of the trunk has left them with much more space in the back seat, frequent rest stops keep them all content, and the traffic is light and reasonably cooperative, so that they're past Baltimore and through it before the five o'clock rush has even begun.

Because my life is about to get very insane over the coming weekend (I'm moving) I've decided to post part 13 now, and parts 14 - 16 tomorrow morning (Eastern time, 12 - 18 hours from now). I doubt I'll be online to answer any comments until Sunday night or Monday morning; but sometime after the desktop's set up at the new place, I'll be posting a follow-up to this, a short piece that takes place immediately after breakfast 'the morning after tomorrow'. Stay tuned. :)

"It's been a shitty day, and we've already lost more time than we're going to make up tonight, so we might as well just get a couple rooms and some real food and have a decent night's rest," is Bob's opinion, and everyone agrees; and, "It's Ray's crisis, so he gets to pick where we eat," Gerard decrees, and, "Japanese hibachi grill?" Ray says hopefully, and so it's an evening of sitting around the griddle watching the chef slice and dice and build flaming volcanos out of onion rings, and stuffing themselves full of fried rice and grilled veggies and various types of meat and seafood. And then there's an ice cream parlor in the strip mall adjoining the hotel, and somehow they find room for dessert, cones and sundaes eaten at the picnic table outside, and by the time they get back to the hotel - not the cheap motel just off the exit, but the much nicer Hilton a few blocks down, because y'know what, after a day like that, what the hell - by the time they're back in their rooms, everyone's feeling much better, relaxed and well-fed, frazzled tempers and trauma a thing of the past.

It's four o'clock before the insurance adjuster gets there, and they've been checked out of the motel for ages, standing around waiting, growing progressively more hungry and uncomfortable and irritated, watching the day slip away and knowing their chances of making any significant progress homeward that day are slim; and it's an hour of examining things and talking to people before the man passes judgement on the situation, a judgement that should have been blindly fucking obvious to anyone with eyes within the space of a single glance: that Ray's car is utterly, irrevocably totaled. "You'll have to speak with your insurance agent about compensation," the man says to Ray, "but in cases of storm damage like this, well, there are generally disclaimers of liability," and Ray barely nods, stony-faced and grim.

Mikey and Ray have, between the two of them, bought a DVD player and a half-dozen DVDs; and so, after a hearty dinner at an all-you-can-eat buffet, they gather in the Sex-Free Room (as Mikey terms it) with a bag of cheese-flavored popcorn and a twelve-pack of Coke, to watch movies together.

Gerard's only got two changes of clothes, both of them well-worn work clothes, and Mikey and Ray left Brooklyn with barely a change of clothes each, and Frank and Bob's luggage contains mostly dirty laundry, at this point, and since they've got a full day of downtime on their hands and at least another two days after that before they reach home, it only makes sense to go in search of fresh clothes, and things like toiletries that they don't have or are running out of.

Frank wakes the next morning from the best night's sleep he's had in ages, feeling rested and deeply, deeply content. His hand's aching, but he almost doesn't care; there's a warm weight snuggled up against his back, and a familiar smell of sweat that's oppressive and funky and wonderful all at once, and he hasn't been this happy in a long time.

It's just your typical room, just like a thousand other hotel and motel rooms he's seen over the past years, nondescript in its decor, utterly unremarkable; but Frank is acutely aware of the single king-sized bed in the center of the room, deeply and almost painfully aware of Gerard placing their bags down by the dresser - it's been years, years since the last time, and it's never been premeditated, planned, and he's never in his life felt as intensely nervous as he does now.

"Why didn't you stop him?!" Bob shouts at Frank, frustrated and uncomprehending, and still Frank just can't move; and then Bob's grabbing his arm and pulling him, forcibly propelling him back down the street to the truck and into the passenger seat and cursing a blue streak as he dashes to the other side and gets it going, into the street and after the bus, "fuck, fucking, goddamn fucking HELL," a nonstop litany of epithets as Bob hunches over the wheel, and Frank's barely aware of any of it, only the stunning, shattering revelation he's just experienced.
