Fics: October Daye and Warehouse 13

I have more fics! Both posted on AO3.

Glittering Bright (Warehouse 13)
Helena/Myka, 1500 words
Written for cosmic_llin in the Holiday Aisle exchange. The prompt was "bonfire night".
Having completed an assignment in England, Helena persuades Myka to come on a date to the local bonfire night celebration with the promise of toffee apples, fireworks, and almost certainly no rogue Artifacts...


she's had her fill of destinies (October Daye)
May & Quentin, 1100 words
Missing scene for An Artificial Night, written for the "branding" square on my hc_bingo card.
May goes shopping for some clothes of her own. Quentin goes with her.

meme: 30 song questions (7-9)

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
Bow to the Crown — Heather Dale

I listened to Heather Dale a lot right before my Finals. (She's good listening on the way to job interviews, too!) For people unfamiliar with her she is a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, and that's what her songs are. Medieval style, with chivalry and quests but also lady knights and magic and all these stories about fictional places which are basically out of ren-faires or Merlin or something. And they're delightful.

This particular one is about knights fighting in a tournament. (Deliberately, there are no genders attached to either the knights or their sweethearts, which I think is a lovely touch.) It was great pre-Finals music to listen to!

Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to
Piazza, New York Catcher — Belle & Sebastian

This question was a bit tricky to answer -- I just automatically pick up and memorise song lyrics, and therefore I know pretty much all the lyrics to all my songs. But I really like this one, and it's a fun song to sing along to!

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to
Never Look Away — Vienna Teng

This is my favourite song from her newest album. And it's so great! you are made of nebulas and novas and night sky / you’re made of memories you bury or live by I also think this would make a great vid song -- I want to make a Warehouse 13 team vid to it.
