Italy, 1703. Arthur is an orphan with a hidden talent for the violin who is sent from his quiet but dull life in a small monastery to study music in Venice. A story about missing violins, lost ducal heirs, mysterious masked men, gondola chases, falling in love with your concert master, music, and finding your place in the world. (A love song to Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery.)

inception_bang, is one part homage to a great kid's story that I loved when I was younger and one part homage to Vivaldi himself, I guess, where homage means "implying he had a relationship with a student and was kind of disreputable." Oops! I apologize in advance to anyone particularly knowledgeable about Baroque history as I took a sort of A Knight's Tale approach to history here and that may drive you to distraction.Profuse thank you's are due to a lot of people here.

Jan. 25th, 2012 06:43 pmI kind of expect that those of you interested in the relevant fandoms have probably seen these, but I really just have to rec both of these vids because they are both superbly done and (especially in the second case), I have had a bad habit of obsessively re-watching over the past two days.
In this corner: Karaoke Soul, Luther, Luther/Alice, with all the such a bad idea, just-barely-in-control, oh lord what am I doing, feeding each other's worst impulses that that entails. Creepy and dark and just the kind of vid that makes you shout WHY DO I SHIP THIS at yourself while gleefully hunkering down with popcorn to watch it again.
And in the other corner: Children's Work, Life, Dani+Charlie, AND OH MY GOD MY FEELINGS LET ME CUT OUT MY HEART AND SHOW THEM TO YOU. One of those instances where the amazing editing and the impeccable, unbearably perfect song choice combine to make a vid so good you want to claw your own face off. Dani Reese was always my favourite thing about Life, and this vid gets her completely and in a way that manages to be really insightful and heart-wrenching about her relationship with Charlie too.

Jan. 8th, 2012 01:47 pmI'm finally starting to feel properly moved in on Dreamwidth so now is probably a good time to announce that I have officially moved to DW and will be using it as my primary journal from here on. Release 88 was just kind of the final straw for me. I'll keep crossposting and checking in with the LJ friends list, so I shouldn't lose track of those of you who aren't moving. And I'll be spending this week trying to track down and add all of you who are or already have! Feel free to add me as well. I'm still ![[personal profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
riko and thus very easy to find.
The only things I won't be keeping updated on LJ anymore are my RP journal (arcing), which I doubt anyone cared about anyway, and my fic scrap journal (treeing). You're welcome to come hang out at![[community profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
treeing, though. I'll be importing all the old entries there too once community importing for free journals opens up.
I've changed my layout on LJ to something which will hopefully be accessible even on the custom comment page for people who still read my fic on LJ but if anyone ever has any sort of problem with it, please feel free to send me a PM, and I'll try to find a better option.
And now I promise that the next time I update, I will have actual content people care about. /off to wash dishes and eat egg tarts!

Dec. 21st, 2011 02:28 pmI'm not going to go into a big thing about LJ's new comment page design/loss of functionality because I think most people have said it better at this point. I'm going to go where my friends go, ultimately, though I have informed LJ that I will not be paying for any of my accounts until comment functionality is restored or they actually produce an S2 old-style comment page option, one which is hopefully not terribly broken and inaccessible the way current S2 styles are. I may start cross-posting from DW (where I'm also riko) to LJ, but that remains to be decided as I still have Issues with DW which prevent it from becoming a real alternative for me. FUN.
The most important thing was to let everyone know that I'll be looking into a more readable layout for this journal, so that custom comment pages can be turned on without making my fic inaccessible/unpleasant for reading, and that most of my stories are available on AO3 (where I'm once more riko!) in the meantime.
STAY STRONG EVERYONE.

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4,839
Notes: Billy/Teddy, Kate/Eli, one-sided Tommy/Kate, oblique Cassie/Vision. I watched the first episode of Suits the other day and while it was all cute and breezy and fun and I can totally see why people like it, the law was so bad. So bad. And I am not someone usually bothered by that, but this had me crying into my hands out of frustration! Any rate, that is my excuse for writing a silly lawyer AU: a fit of pique.
Summary: Billy has feelings about civil procedure, the firm's new junior associate, and the fact that his co-workers are all nuts, and he isn't thinking about any of them.
( This is the most useless thing in existence, Teddy had scribbled at the top of the notepad which lay perfectly in the middle of their desk. )

Aug. 4th, 2011 04:03 pmIt's August! Which means, I guess, time for me to do a post to make sure that I post at least once a month, and no one has to worry that I've suddenly disappeared.
✣ I am mired in the world of academic writing and publishing now. In addition to the book I'm co-authoring, I've also taken on a personal article I want to write and get published before I start my articling position next year, and research for that article has now landed me a guest lecture in November at my old law school. TERRIFYING. That is the future, though, and for now I am stuck writing a book outline/marketing overview for the publisher, and it is the most painful, tooth-pulling experience ever.
✣ In fanfic writing news, I am having this problem where I keep stalling out at 7,000 words? I literally have four stories in the works at or just past 7,000 words but then for some reason my mind goes blank.
✣ Despite this I am considering signing up for the second round of the Inception Big Bang? Because there is a terrible historical AU that is calling to me?
✣ Shop shop shop. Cook cook cook. I've continued on with my cookbook project as mentioned last month, and I'm completely amazed by how much my knife skills have improved in a really short time? Also I am an ace stir-frier now.
✣ Watched Game of Throne, loved it. Devoured my way through the first three books in the series. Am now slogging through Feast because I do not give a fig about 98% of these POV characters.

Jul. 10th, 2011 03:25 pmIt's sort of weird to be semi-employed (totally in charge of my own schedule, working from home) with the promise of a proper, well-paying job in a year because I feel like I have a lot of time to pursue my own projects, which I've never been properly able to do for the last... 12 years, at least.
One thing I've always liked the idea of doing is making a real attempt to cook through a lot of a single cookbook. And so last week, I thought to myself "Why the heck not?" and now every Wednesday for the next year at least, I'm going to be trying to prepare a meal out of Gloria Bley Miller's Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook.
( I started last Wednesday. )

And with, literally, my dream firm too. So finally that year and a half odyssey of non-stop stress is over. And then I stole tussah and went to Costa Rica for ten days. I AM REALLY BAD AT UPDATING LJ RECENTLY HAVE YOU NOTICED? But, yes, it was amazing amazing, and I am now chilling in the airport to go home and mourning my tussahless state. Pictures when my camera cable isn't in my checked baggage.
I will begin checking what I missed on my flist, but feel free to draw my attention to anything I need to see immediately! :]

Apr. 17th, 2011 10:29 pmOnce upon a time, I put together a mix for my YA-loving friends of the time. And then some more time passed, and I made another. And then I looked back and decided that there were some songs on the first one I really didn't like and some on the second that were really good. And then I decided it might be a good idea to smush the two together and put the thing up where other people could benefit. And then I got distracted for a very long time. And then I got around to doing it. Enjoy!

Mar. 4th, 2011 01:54 pmIt is unnecessary to pinpoint a particular group that precisely corresponds to the claimant group except for the personal characteristic or characteristics alleged to ground the discrimination. Provided that the claimant establishes a distinction based on one or more enumerated or analogous grounds, the claim should proceed to the second step of the analysis. This provides the flexibility required to accommodate claims based on intersecting grounds of discrimination. It also avoids the problem of eliminating claims at the outset because no precisely corresponding group can be posited.
- Withler v. Canada (Attorney General), 2011 SCC 12
Oh, Withler. I have been waiting months and months and months for you and with one hand you grant my fondest wishes by finally getting rid of the goddamn mirror comparator thing and then with the other, you continue to pretend that Auton wasn't a travesty (and that Hodge wasn't a travesty and that Gosselin wasn't a travesty and that Law wasn't a travesty ad infinitum.)
Also I still don't even know what Kapp means so good job clearing that up. I guess we'll be waiting for the next decision then? Sure!
