Never Pass Up Cosplay Opportunities  
Also known as, "I spent months making you these cosplays, now by god, we WILL find places for you to wear them!"

The biggest problem with making costumes for kids is they outgrow them so fast. Rosie's hooves will likely not fit her by next year, and her Molly Hayes (Rainbow Rowell's Runaways) overall shorts almost didn't fit her at the con they were made for! We always have a "you WILL wear one of your cosplays trick or treating" rule but when they have soooo many damn costumes... yikes.

A local library branch is through a Yule Ball tomorrow from 5-7. Rosie will be breaking out the Slytherin uniform for a third wear! Hallelujah, I absolutely WILL be getting my time investment payoff on these robes!

Three Kastle Fics (The Punisher/Daredevil)  
Bona Fide
Fandom: The Punisher, Daredevil
Relationships: Frank Castle/Karen Page
Word count: 6298
Rating: M
Warnings: Unsafe Sex, descriptions of past violence and injuries/blood
Summary: Four months after the shootout at the carousel, Frank Castle reappears and Karen Page finally gets that kiss.

Here Comes a Feeling You Thought You'd Forgotten
Fandom: The Punisher, Daredevil
Word count: 4500
Rating: T
Warnings: Depression, drinking to cope
Notes: For the Kastle Fic/Art Exchange, based on this prompt.
Summary: Karen didn't start out counting the days since she'd last seen Frank Castle, because she's not that kind of woman... until she is. One "sabbatical" to New Orleans later, Karen thinks she might finally be putting all of that behind her. Fate has other plans.

Go Out Alone Into America
Fandom: The Punisher, Daredevil
Word count: 24,043
Rating: M
Warnings: Human trafficking, child abuse/exploitation, guns/gun violence/gunshot injury
Notes: For the Defenders Big Bang, art by [personal profile] alby_mangroves
Summary: Karen thought she’d left extralegal vigilantes behind. Instead, she’s literally stumbling over Frank everywhere she turns, and not only that, but he’s got a brand new, popcorn-loving second Karen in tow. Even after discovering they're both following the same lead, Karen hopes she can keep her investigation separate from Frank's Punishing, but her hopes and Frank both hit the ground in a Bronx warehouse. In the aftermath, Karen compromises her apparently weak ethics as a badly-injured Frank trains her to be his Punishing protege. How long can she convince herself she’s doing it because she has to instead of because she wants to?


Don't mind me. Just slowly filling this space with my fic from the past year or two.
