AO3 Link | New Opportunities (232 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Bumblebee [2018], Bayverse Transformers
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Charlie Watson [Bumblebee], Mikaela Banes [Transformers 2007]
Additional Tags: First Meetings
Summary:

Charlie may run her own company, but she still believes in running her own errands.

She gets to meet someone else who is a gear-head like she is.

New Opportunities

Charlie pushed over the counter at Harry's and looked at the man on the floor. "Nap time, really?"

"Hadn't had a customer all day," the man said, pushing his hat back and slowly sitting up. "Thought you had a job."

She laughed, shaking her head. "I'm the boss and the owner, and yet. When I need parts, I come to you, my old friend."

He brought himself up, and started to say something… but the door opened and this time he heard the jingle. Both of them looked over to see and hot body with grease and overalls trying to hide the fact.

"Mikki, haven't seen you in forever!" Harry called.

"Yeah, been out of town, but got my dad's garage back and running."

"Harry, you been holding out on me? You know I like investing in gearheads like me," Charlie said to that before walking over. "Charlie Watson."

Mikki's eyes went huge. "THE Charlie Watson, dive champ and motor innovator?"

"So usually it's one or the other, so kudos to you."

"Mikaela Banes," Mikki offered. "Harry gets away with Mikki, but Mik is what most of my friends use these days."

"Well, I hope to earn that right, Mikaela," Charlie said, offering a business card. "I've got to get a few things, but give me a call?"

"I'm here for parts, and have a car on lifts, but yeah, I will."

Catégorie : Ma meilleure ennemie (Dualité - Hiérarchie - Inégalité - Résistance - Rebelle - Sacrifice - Enemies to lovers - Steampunk)

J'ai déjà critiqué plus tôt dans le défi un livre des mêmes auteurs, Sixtine. Le résumé de celui-là me tentait moins mais quelqu'un sur un Discord m'a dit que le ship principal était femslash, et ça a suffi à me faire changer d'avis. Je suis faible.

Cela se passe dans un monde steampunk d'îles flottantes sur une mer de nuages. Ienissei est éternelle second d'un capitaine incompétent. Elle rencontre Alie, une jolie fille qui la met dans les ennuis : elle est persuadée que les nouvelles techniques d'extraction de l'éthérite, ce qui permet de faire flotter les nuages et les bateaux, sont un désastre qui vont ensevelir des îles sous la couche nuaugeuse et en faire partie d'autres trop haut. Un peu malgré elle, Ienissei se retrouve prise dans cette aventure, qui concerne aussi les recherches de son père explorateur, qu'elle avait essayé d'oublier...

L'univers a du potentiel, mais ce tome 1 m'a frustrée un peu en n'en montrant pas assez. D'un autre côté, il est plus centré sur les personnages, ce qui n'est pas plus mal. C'était sympa, intriguant, mais pas autant un coup de coeur que le tome 1 de Sixtine.

I hit Price Chopper and the Pharmacy while I was downtown. I’m happy to say that McD’s was warmer than usual! I still wore my sweatshirt and jacket, but took off my scarf and didn’t need to wear my gloves the whole time! (Which is a surprise, because my hands usually freeze.) I hit Stewart’s on the way home.

I drove mom to her treatment, did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for a couple walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. I made shake ‘n bake chicken for supper because I didn’t want to use the grill.

I got more writing done! ~1,200 more words! Some of which got written with Dr. Pol in the background! And I also watched 9-1-1 and took a short nap. The weather called for it. Sciatica is hanging around just as an uncomfortable pain in my butt, but nothing super painful, thankfully. I just wish even this little bit of pain would go away.

Temps started out at 48.9(F) and reached 48.4. Yes, the temps went down and then didn’t even come back up to the morning low! And we had more rain, but not a lot. Just enough to make it a crappy day. Plus there was wind, which made it feel even colder. *brr*

The two families we expected (parents of the mothers have a farm on our road and their grandparents live across the road) showed up for trick or treat. Poor kids were frozen!

Mom Update:

Mom was doing okay today. ( more back here )

Here is my card for the Fairy Tales and Fantasy Stories Bingo over in

allbingo. The fest runs from November 1-30. (See all my 2025 bingo cards.)

If you'd like to sponsor a particular square, especially if you have an idea for what character, series, or situation it would fit -- talk to me and we'll work something out. I've had a few requests for this and the results have been awesome so far. This is a good opportunity for those of you with favorites that don't always mesh well with the themes of my monthly projects. I may still post some of the fills for free, because I'm using this to attract new readers; but if it brings in money, that means I can do more of it. That's part of why I'm crossing some of the bingo prompts with other projects, such as the Poetry Fishbowl.

Underlined prompts have been filled.

FAIRY TALES BINGO CARD

Pixie	The Nightingale	The deeds of ordinary folks keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.	Vision	Castle
Glory	Hero	Elves	Journey	Enchanted
Music	Very little worth knowing is taught by fear.	WILD CARD	Golden Hair	Fairies
Fairy Ring	Solitude	Shadow	The Dark Tower	Twilight
Golem	Trickster	Once Upon a Time	I didn't want power. All I wanted was control. Over my life.	Magical Power

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

How would the world change if there was an accurate measure of aptitude?

Little if any. Some types of aptitude can be tested pretty well. People often choose not to act on them. In fact, people often prefer the less accurate ones.

Fandom: Dark Shadows

Pairings/Characters: Barnabas Collins, Julia Hoffman, Elliot Stokes, David Collins, Elizabeth Collins, Roger Collins, Angelique Bouchard Collins, Harry Johnson, Willie Loomis, Maggie Evans

Rating: T

Length: 37,304

Creator Links: archiveofourown.org/users/SusanRains/pseuds/Carey%20Kasdot

Theme: Unusual setting

Summary: A dumbwaiter system found in the house unleashes a baffling illness which turns pleasant friends into infatuated screwballs. Meanwhile, games with the dumbwaiter bring Hallie and David nights of terror. With the addition of an afghan that roams the house at will and a houseguest no one wants, Collinwood hits the height of mayhem.

Reccer's Notes: You'd be pretty hard put to discover a stranger, more unsettling setting than a dumbwaiter in which an intrepid soul or two ventures to travel. Add to this Halloween rec the inimitable spookiness of the great estate of Collinwood and you've discovered a delightful read with stellar characterizations and the usual undercurrent of Things Unseen in the fandom.

Theme Prompt: #280 - Trick or Treat
Title: Mean Green
Fandom: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey (ft. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Little Shop of Horrors (1986)) - AU where Fawful doesn't explode during Bowser's Inside Story.
Rating/Warnings: PG
Bonus: Yes
Word Count: 933 words
Author's Note: This is based in part on old Tumblr RP stuff - a friend of mine from the M&L RP space really likes LSoH and this is in part inspired by that stuff! Also, because I wanted to do something lighter given my Fan Flashworks thing is kinda sad.
(PATCH NOTES: Now y'all see why I do NOT post so close to a work shift. Thank god I noticed this before I had to clock in! Title has been fixed.
Summary: Almost a full year passes since Fawful's last villainous stunt, and while he is initially stumped on what to do the following Halloween, his first adoptive parent's ghost gives him a particular idea from past the stars and beyond the moon..

Title: sufficient imitation
Fandom: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (somewhat implied in the latter case)
Rating: PG
Content notes: References Cackletta's death from Superstar Saga and that Fawful was there for it, that's.. kinda it, really. Based on an AU where Fawful was a kid during the events of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story.
Artist notes: After some agonizing over the last couple days of how to go about this theme and characters, I opted not for writing but for art to really get what I feel across.
...Anyhow, this is for the theme of Haunted for the current ongoing Amnesty.
Summary: Fawful and the spirit of Cackletta unknowingly embrace - whilst Fawful wonders if his imitation of Cackletta's cloak will do, in a state of grief.

Current Music: Mili songs from Project Moon games

This month's book was Children of the Jedi (The Callista Trilogy #1) by Barbara Hambly

1. Star Wars is often called a 'Space Fantasy' story and Hambly is generally known as a writer of fantasy. What genre influences do you sense at work in this novel?

2. A classic sci-fi trope is using stories about robots/androids to explore what it means to be human. How does that come through here and what underlying message about technology do you think was meant to be shared?

3. Anything else?

COMING UP NEXT
November: THEME: Published in the 10's
