Works in Progress

Just thought I'd do a list of all the fics I have on my "To Do" list.

WICKED:

The Right Thing To Do: It's a matter of honour, of doing good. But sometimes, doing the 'right thing' hurts more than anything else. Especially when it comes to love.
Fiyero fell in love with Elphaba in that clearing with the Lion Cub. But afraid of his feelings and not wanting to hurt Galinda, he did nothing. But after graduation while spending the summer at Kiamo Ko, as everyone expects an engagement to be announced, Fiyero realises that he can’t live a lie. Then all hell breaks loose, and no one will escape being hurt. All in the name of doing the right thing. AU.
This is supposed to be my next fic, but I’m a little stuck right now.

The Ghost of Kiamo Ko:"Last night I dreamt I went to Kiamo Ko again."
While working as the companion to the Munchkinland Governor, Nessarose Thropp; Elphaba becomes acquainted with a wealthy Vinkun prince, Fiyero Tiggular, a reasonably young widower who is still mourning the loss of his wife, Samira. After a whirlwind romance, Elphaba and Fiyero marry and he takes her back to his beautiful Vinkun estate, Kiamo Ko. But the staff still worship the first Mrs Tiggular; and Elphaba knows Fiyero only married her out of pity. But most disturbing, is the shadow of Samira who still fills the castle and who haunts Elphaba’s every move. AU.
Inspired by the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. There’s also a movie.

Don’t tell the Bride: When Galinda finds a competition in a magazine to win your dream wedding- on the condition every detail is planned solely by the groom- the girls think it’s funny, whereas the boys think it would be a piece of cake. So, an engaged Elphaba and Fiyero agree to enter and put that the theory to the test. What kind of wedding will Fiyero plan? (Also contemplating a Gloq edition of this fic). AU.

The Assignment: To try and get his students to understand that they, their actions and the way other people will remember them will shape future history; Dr Dillamond assigns his class an assignment for one lesson. To work in pairs and learn a bit more about one another. Shiz-era, musicalverse. Pre- Lion Cub.

Knocked Out: Intermission fic. Fiyeraba. That’s all I have right now.

Currently Untitled: After numerous requests, I've finally agreed to do some semblance of a mini-sequel, epilogue, one-shot to 40 Weeks. Still working on plot specifics and a title. 

The Vow: Not long after their wedding, Elphaba and Fiyero’s world is shattered when Elphaba suffers a head injury and lapses into a coma. When she awakens, her last memory of her husband is when a scandalacious prince arrives at Shiz, dancing through life. Can Fiyero make his wife fall in love with him- all over again?
Co-written with Team Wicked. Inspired by the movie of the same name.

HOUSE:

Learn to live without: Cameron had made plenty of sacrifices to become a doctor and in her life as a doctor. And most of the time, she didn’t mind. But occasionally, she couldn’t help but lament how different her life was from how she’d always pictured.
One-shot. It’s been a while since I wrote a House fic. Inspired by the song from the new musical If/Then, as sung by Idina Menzel.

NCIS:

Currently Untitled: Either a one-shot or series of one-shots as a sequel to Sitting on Top of the world, an insight into the joint Gibbs/DiNozzo household. Tony/Jemma, Gibbs/DiNozzo Father/Son. Again, still working on specifics. 

HARRY POTTER:

Repaying a debt: Best friends are always there when you need them. The thing is, when they risk their lives for 7 years to help you save the Wizarding World, you owe them. Big Time. As they are happy to remind you.
A series of (hopefully) funny one-shots about all the times Ron and Hermione use Voldemort to get Harry to do them a favour.

As Long as you’re mine: AU. Harry and Hermione’s friendship deepens in the summer before their 7th year. With the war raging, Harry and Hermione keep their blossoming relationship a secret, except for a few select people. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not real. Or that they’re not going to make the most of every moment they have.
I haven’t touched this in a while... like 4 years. I should probably re-read and see if it’s any good. And also, no one is dead. Because I like it that way.

God Save My Soul: One shot. Inspired by the Idina Menzel song of the same name. Still working on specifics.

Dream Houses from movies

Movie and TV characters always have the best houses.

Here are some of the ones mentioned in chapter 1 of Sitting on top of the world

The house Noah builds Allie in The Notebook
The house from Father of the Bride

Cameron Frye's house in Ferris Bueller's Day Off

This reminds me of a movie....

At the moment, I am.... I think about 3/4 of the way through writing my first NCIS fanfiction.
It's not my first time writing the NCIS characters, I wrote two House/NCIS crossovers when I first got into NCIS during season 5, but I was still a huge House fan and wanted to combine them.

[I thoroughly enjoyed (loved) the first 3 seasons of House. I persevered through 4 and 5, but gave up in season 6 after they wrote out Jennifer Morrison's character (Cameron) and I didn't feel any of the character's were likeable anymore].

I'm really enjoying the challenge of writing a new fandom. Although there are so many references to Wicked in it :D (yes, I know. I have a problem).

I think the hardest character to write is Gibbs, because he's not one for a lot of words or to show a lot of emotion. But I love Gibbs, because he's awesome.


The main character in this fic (In this Life- coming soon to a computer near you), is my favourite NCIS character, the Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, played by the adorable and charming Michael Weatherly.


The slight trouble I'm having, is that Tony has a habit (whether good or bad) or quoting a lot of films, and referencing them at every opportunity. They don't have to relate to Tony's life per se, they can relate to any character or situation Tony hears about.

As a writer, trying to remain true to the fandom and the characters, I have to do that too.

Do you know how hard it is, trying to think of a film with a specific moment/reaction/emotion like whatever is happening within the story? I own a lot of movies, but it's still not easy.

Hence, I'm spending a lot of my time on Google. Finding names of films, researching the plot line if I haven't seen/heard of it...

So, if anyone knows of a movie where a guy is thrilled to learn he's going to be a father, please let me know.
