Manganelli's Musings: Brain strain didn't help but....

Friday 9 August 2013

Brain strain didn't help but....

....I think I have my title. Am rolling with 'Playing Doctor' for the timebeing as it merges games with medical/taking care of - I've even updated the banner. Of course, that might have to do with the fact that I've done no writing today AT ALL and I felt bad!!

The lack of writing is because I'm lazy and I got stressed - tomorrow I am going to have to make up for that. Maybe 45k was too much?

Oh look, that would be me being defeatist and negative. Time to switch that around and be positive - I am not that far behind and should be more than able to catch up. Yeah, not sure I'm believing that positive spin either but at least I tried!!!

WORKS IN PROGRESS UNCONSCIOUS BOND

Omega Stiles Stilinski needs to be bonded to an alpha – and soon. He’s reached the age of 18 and managed to avoid the shackles of such a relationship – Omega Rights can shove it because they haven’t achieved hardly enough for Stiles to put himself into the position of having to answer to some knot-headed Alpha – but time is running out. If he doesn’t do something quickly, an Alpha will be found for him and the choices don’t look good. Which is what brings him to the long-care ward, where Peter Hale has been in a coma since the Hunter attack that almost killed his entire family. If Peter’s wolf won’t accept Stiles, then no harm, no foul – but if this works, Stiles might just get to keep his freedom whilst having the status of a bonded Omega. What Stiles doesn’t allow for is just how strong the bond between an unconscious alpha and an Omega can be, or that he just might be the cause of Peter waking up. Masterpopst is here

NULL & VOID

In a world full of the supernatural and superpowers, everyone eagerly awaits their 18th birthday to ‘receive’ their gift. On his 18th birthday, Stiles Stilinski comes into his powers and finds out in the most horrific way possible that his gift is more of a curse – one unguarded touch, and he absorbs both a person’s gift and their life-force. Determined to keep his friends and family safe, he moves away from his home and takes a job with the government, taking away the gifts of those who would abuse them. As one of the most powerful – and potentially dangerous – people in the world, Void feels completely alone. Peter Hale’s gift is incredibly prized – mainly because no one is allowed to openly discuss what their gift is. Working within the P.A.C.K. bureau, he keeps his family safe and does the world a service. No-one’s gift can touch him, and he is one of the very few who can tell what someone’s gift is from one simple touch. So what does he do with this new, ruthless but attractive new recruit who refuses to let Peter touch him? Masterpost is here.

WITNESS

Peter Hale is a psychopathic serial killer. But that’s okay because he works for the government, handling the people that normal law enforcement can’t touch. Stiles Stilinski is going to be Peter Hale’s new Witness – the person who sanctions and corroborates Peter’s kills. No one will tell him what happened to Peter’s previous Witness but that doesn’t stop Stiles from trying to find out. When it becomes apparent that Peter’s interest in Stiles may be affecting his ability to do his job, just how do you safely separate a psychopath from his Witness? Based off the premise of the Romilly King Handled series, this is a dark fic that can be found here.
