FIC: Love Is Like a Bottle of Scotch (Murphy Brown/Linda Ellerbee)

Title: Love Is Like a Bottle of Scotch
Pairing: Murphy Brown/Linda Ellerbee
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: As may be inferred from the presence of one Murphy Brown, this is a work of fiction and does not purport to be a factual representation of Linda Ellerbee's life. Murphy, meanwhile, was created by Diane English.
Summary: ...but a bottle of Scotch is not like love. Episode tag for 1x20 "The Summer of '77."
Notes: I started this before I finished Holding Pattern; consider it part of my canon for that Murphy. Title/summary ripped off from Stephin Merritt.

Mucho Maddow

I posted my [info]lgbtfest fic! Read Holding Pattern (Murphy Brown/Rachel Maddow, PG-13). Do the kids still say "mad props"? Because I would like to give [info]bessemerprocess mad props for submitting such an awesome prompt.

This seems like an opportune time to watch Rachel Maddow mix the...Bonus: Dale DeGroff mixes Rachel the Mint Julep, Whiskey Smash (text)

[info]brown_betty was kind enough to give me a Dreamwidth invite. I haven't used it yet, because I'm not sure if I should register thatfangirl, as I did at JF and IJ, or choose a new handle. I've used this one for sevenish years, but...I've been feeling kinda ambivalent about it, lately. Thoughts?

FIC: To add a richer strain (Xena, post-FIN, 1,228 words)

Title: To add a richer strain
Fandom: Xena: Warrior Princess
Pairing: Xena/Gabrielle
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I believe Xena belongs to Renaissance Pictures/Universal Studios. At any rate, no money is being made and no infringement is intended.
Summary: "Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Notes: This hews more closely to actual ancient Greek practices while still managing to be as cheerfully inaccurate as the show. Also, Gabrielle references the Svetasvatara Upanishad 5.11-12. Set several years post-series.
