stanley the beetle! draco is sort of a raging prick in the beginning of this one, but he slowly gets better. i think it's meant to be character development or something.

Bonus points if you can tell me which picture from the banner is meant to apply to which fic.

Hi guys! For our very last Teen Wolf quiz, I'd like to report:

Congratulations, everyone passed! Here are the results, if you'd like to take a look.

I would like to congratulate [personal profile] thetyro on getting the first answer right. I know it was very difficult, but we're all very proud of you. However, why did you pick "Other" when there were perfectly good language options?

I want you both to know that I'm sad that no one picked "Romulan." So sad.

I would also like to take this moment to appreciate that [personal profile] phnx wanted to ensure that we were all aware that Derek is usually covered in blood.

Guys, I can't believe that Teen Wolf is over. What are we going to do with the True Alpha pins now?
[personal profile] thetyro
Meeting is called to order by the current Alpha. (original note: ‘awoo’ (fucking finally) )

The quiz results are shared and discussed. [personal profile] phnx is sad they got one quiz question wrong but satisfied that their impressive essay answer brought them back to a perfect score.

“dat norse thang” ( [personal profile] thetyro admits they do not remember why they made this note. But it was apparently an important part of our meeting as has been recorded in the official notes. )

The suggestion of Project Runway fusion(s) was apparently only kind of a joke. That is discussed for a while. Which bleeds into discussing Project Runway for a solid chunk of time.

We were also talking about Taylor Swift for a while there.

Fic! We finally talk about the fic!

And then [personal profile] roguemariel's terrible sleep habits.

Ficfinder. It’s disappointing. But [personal profile] phnx is helpful.

We’re back to fighting about locks.

Science!

Mice (?)

We’re so off topic. oh my god. What even happen.

The pack discusses possible new fandoms.

[personal profile] phnx tries to take the quiz right away.

[personal profile] roguemariel will be rewriting the quiz tomorrow for [personal profile] phnx.

The prompt is given and discussed. The very important issue of sorting characters into their house is briefly visited.

[personal profile] phnx argues her answers with [personal profile] roguemariel via text

She passed!

School, future plans and game show fic are all touched on.

It is decided that we will be changing fandoms at the end of this cycle. The jobs will also change (slightly) as well as the addition of a new quiz to help us avoid crashing and burning.

[personal profile] phnx is the Alpha now. We've survived before, we will survive again.

Hello, your friendly neighborhood alpha here! Well, as I'm typing this, anyway. Soon, I will be removed from my place, having been brutally slain by [personal profile] phnx. Such cruelty.

This month, the fic is the ring of the ancestors is not a euphemism by kellifer_fic. I bet none of you saw that coming, now did you. ^_^

The quiz has been created. [personal profile] thetyro said I was never going to get it done, but ha! I have succeeded. Suffer.

If you do take it first, let me know so I can make sure you passed. I'd like not to have to make another one. (Obviously, we're all going to pass the first time. Right? Right.)

Here is the quiz. Please enjoy.

Title: so he's got a few flaws
Characters/Pairing: Sterek, Derek, Stiles, Laura, Erica, Boyd
Rating: S for Stupidity
Word Count: 1,735
Prompt: Stiles just wants coffee. And maybe a scone. And reliable wifi as far away from Scott's terrible relationship choices as he can get it. What he doesn't want is the world's most judgmental barista glaring at him when he tries to order his Grande, Iced, Sugar-Free, Vanilla Latte With Soy Milk.

Derek doesn't even work at Laura's stupid cafe. Making Stiles' order (poorly) is just about as far as his 'flirting with people'-skills go.

SUICA 014 )

A/N:

-Yes, the title is from Frozen's Fixer Upper.
-This is attempt two (attempt three if you count my crack Japanese fic). The first attempt floundered and died.
-I do not know why I found this round so difficult to write for. The prompt should have be easy. What is wrong with me.
-P.S. I just realised that this doesn't match the prompt, oops. Sorry for forgetting to include the first half of the synopsis?

    Laura and Cora walked out of the theater laughing.



    “The best part was totally when that one guy got his head ripped off,” Cora said.



    “No way! It was definitely the disembowelment of that one character,” Laura argued.



    “Oh my god, Laura,” Cora suddenly stopped, dragging her sister through the people trying to leave to stand against a wall. They crouched behind a trash can, which caused a few odd looks to be directed at them. “Look.”



    The two of them peered around the bin to see Derek sitting on a bench, his arm wrapped around the guy who they had met in line. Derek looked to be comforting him as the man sobbed into a napkin.



    “...Didn’t they go see a rom-com?” Laura muttered to her sister. Cora shrugged. “Let’s get closer.”



    The two of them crept out from behind the trash can to plaster themselves against the wall. They walked slowly towards them, hoping that their brothers’ usual lack of awareness would work in their favor.



    “It was so cute!” the guy said. “Did you see? And they were so in love, of course they had to end up together! That other guy was such a jerk to try to get between them! Right?”



    Derek nodded, his arm tightening around him. “They ended up together, though. All’s well that ends well. And it did end well, right Stiles?”



    “Yeah, but it was still such a shitty thing to do. I mean, yeah, he was the guy she knew from when she was a kid, but fate clearly put James into Mary’s path. Obviously they were meant to be, and Alex should have just accepted it.” Stiles pulled out another napkin, clearly overwhelmed emotionally.



    Laura and Cora slowly backed away. It was probably better not to interrupt.



    “Let’s just text him,” Laura suggested. She pulled out her phone.



     





    Hey baby bro, you looked pretty busy, so we’re heading home. See if you can get a ride from *Stiles* okay? <3 Don’t worry, we’ll tell Mom all about it so you won’t have to!



     



    Cora rolled her eyes. “You are a terrible person, Laura.”



    “Hey! I am the best sister ever, don’t you forget it.”



    “But I wanted to tell Mom!”



    They glared at each other for a second before bursting into laughter.



    “Hey, do you remember where we parked?”

    Derek doesn't even work at Laura's stupid cafe. 56(<- Aly's fault. ) . Making Stiles' order (poorly) is just about as far as his 'flirting with people'-skills go.

    WRITING CHALLENGE:
    choose freely—we’ll only mock you relentlessly



    PROPOSED TITLE (open to changes):
    PRIMARY CHARACTERS: Laura, Cora, Stiles, Derek
    SECONDARY CHARACTERS (optional): Scott
    PAIRING: Sterek
    SYNOPSIS: Laura and Cora go out to see a movie together (with Derek; mom insisted they take him for a walk or whatever). They want to see the latest gorey-action-thriller-violent-death-horror film, naturally (but Derek doesn't; these movies freak him out. He's more of a rom-com kind of guy). While standing in line to buy the tickets (Derek's getting the popcorn), they hear some obnoxious asshole (Stiles) in line complaining to his girlfriend or whatever (Scott) that he was being stood up on their date (Scott had a date with Allison) and spouting some male chauvinist bullshit about how men can't watch chick-flicks by themselves (except what he actually wants is someone to hold him through the sad bits and tell him he's beautiful p.s. true love is real). When they start to get an idea of what's actually going on in his conversation, they begin to hatch a plan—he can babysit Derek in the rom-com while Laura and Cora rock it up in the auditorium shoving movies that don't suck (or suck slightly less? Okay, they both suck equally hard, but at least these ones come garnished with explosions, is what we're saying). Everyone'll go home happy.

    "Come on, man," Stiles said, hating the whine in his voice but willing to use any tool at his disposal. "You have to come!"

    "Sorry, Stiles. You can still go see the movie, though, right?"

    "What?!" Stiles screeched. Two young women standing in line nearby gave him a judging look. "I can't go to a chick flick by myself--" The young women's expressions were now full-on scowls. "--who'll hold my hand during the easily-avoidable-yet-heartbreaking misunderstandings? Who'll share in my tears during the romantic kisses of reconciliation? I need you!" The women were now looking amused and thoughtful. Stiles' experience in these matters taught him that this was not an improvement, but he a had a betrayal of the highest order to focus his thoughts right now.

    ADDITIONAL NOTES:

    *I wrote the snippet in Stiles' POV, which is my preferred, but any POV is fine.
    *The more I crossed out, the simpler it'll be? That's my theory, anyway.
    *You don't even need to show the bit with the movie if you don't want to. You can just end it with Laura and Cora shoving Derek and Stiles and laughing manically.
