windandwaterMe and my Muses.
Cut to spare the uninterested.
[Scene: the Sanctum]
Writer: [looks up from a pile of papers] Hello, Heero.
Heero: [he's in tank and jeans, carrying a manila folder full of papers] Hello, Writer. [he takes a seat in the chair in front of the desk]
Writer: [scanning a list] Well... I knew you were in a lot of fics on the bunny roster, but I wasn't aware of how many they actually were. [taps pen on desk] Why aren't you dead yet?
Heero: [twitches] You *did* kill me, in "Eleison."
Writer: Oh. So I did. Well... considering that I'm doing my inventory for the new year, do you have anything to say for yourself about your work?
Heero: Only that I'd really like some space.
Writer: How so?
Heero: [frowning] Well, considering that I'm either a twisted bastard or pussywhipped most of the time, I'd actually like to do some normal fics. I have about as many Modes as Duo.
Writer: You want fluff?
Heero: Not fluff... just... normal stuff. Where I'm actally IC?
Writer: [sighing] Sorry, Heero. You know how it is here... the more I love you, the more I drive you insane.
Heero: I know. It was worth the effort though.
Writer: You *do* get some happiness in the Songfic Series. And once I have Numerals all worked out, you should be in a healthy relationship with Wufei. And you *do* realize that I've branded that stalker!Heero songfic series as illegal at the moment, right?
Heero: I'll take what I can get.

Duo: [bounces in wearing his slut!gear] Yo, Writer.
Writer: Hello, my insufferable Primary Muse.
Duo: [grins] You say that a lot about me, ya know. I'm doing my job, right? Everything is in working order and the bunnies are all alive and kicking... well, biting at any rate.
Writer: [rubbing her temples] The problem, Duo, is that the bunnies bite TOO MUCH! I don't have nearly enough time to write all this stuff.
Duo: You would if you planned your time better.
Writer: [glares]
Duo: Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. Besides, you know if you weren't swamped in bunnies 24/7, you'd lose all will to write.
Writer: That's true enough. [looks at her list] You do know how much of a load you're carrying, right?
Duo: [slightly offended] Of course! I'm the Primary Muse! By your own laws, I've got to be in a whole host of fics. Of course, you find malicious ways to make me bleed and angst, but I take what I can get.
Writer: [smiles] Heero said almost the same thing.
Duo: Hey, we've got to make sure you stay a 1x2 girl at heart, no matter what you write. Anyway, Hee-chan's got all those "naked and shell-shocked" fics, and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
Writer: I really wish you Boyz wouldn't call them that. YOU'RE the ones who breed up the bunnies. Any angst you incur is your fault.
Duo: Uh huh. Yeah right. The minute I believe that you don't twist the bunnies yourself to make us suffer, is the day I turn completely het.
Writer: [muttering] Cold day in Hell...
Do: [grins] And I've got the controls to the thermostat!

Writer: You're not working on much, are you, Trowa?
Trowa: [crossing his leather-clad legs] Not really. But I'm not complaining. You usually have me appear as a minor character in almost every fic.
Writer: [checking her list] You've also had the best luck in getting your bunnies pushed through the queue and finished.
Trowa: I don't say much. You've admitted that you have a hard time grasping my character.
Writer: Uh huh. Well, if you don't have any complaints, I don't either. Except, your idea of your and Duo's interactions from your POV for Numerals Series has merit. I don't want it all from Duo's POV.
Trowa: [nods]
Writer: Oh... Trowa?
Trowa: Yes?
Writer: [cringing] Do you *really* want a full songfic for "System of a Down"? People think I'm seriously cracked for that one.
Trowa: I don't have any specifics. I'd like a full songfic, or at least an extended vidfic.
Writer: [jots something down] Okay, I think I can do that.

Writer: [sighs and puts her list down] Quatre.
Quatre: [in slut!attire] Yes?
Writer: ... [opens her mouth, closes it, then opens it again] ... you're twisted.
Quatre: Yes, I know. But this is the fic that is going to make or break you. I'd rather it went off well.
Writer: Me, too. [pawing through some papers] Actually, it's farther along than I thought. If you'd just stop splicing in those creepy flashbacks...
Quatre: It's not my fault that everything reminds me of Duo.
Writer: [groans] That just makes the fic even more fucked up. [scribbles something down] Okay... okay... You don't really come into "Subtraction" until a bit further down, so I can push that back and push "Never Forget" forward. I really want that fic *DONE*. I've been messing with it since the summer!
Quatre: I don't have any other pressing bunnywork, so I'm on call if you need me. I really want that "Breathless" songfic though.
Writer: I know! I know!
Quatre: It *would* be a nice break for Heero.
Writer: But it's VERY low-priority at the moment, got it?
Quatre: [smiles] Of course!

Writer: [rubbing her forehead] You are *so* lucky you don't have a lot to do, Wufei.
Wufei: [crossing his arms] You say that *now*. You know that you love to make me angst for your friends.
Writer: But you angst so *prettily*!
Wufei: [grumbles] I guess I should be lucky that I didn't end up like Heero.
Writer: You've got that right. I know Heero's about ready to go on strike or something. I gave him enough fluff to hold him off though.
Wufei: So are you *really* going to work on my fic, onna?
Writer: Don't call me that! [looks at her list] And, yes. Your songfic doesn't need much more tweaking... just a lot of angsting from your POV... do you want that third person or first?
Wufei: [puts his glasses on and checks his papers] I think for all the angsting bit, first person would work much better... or do that third-person limited thing you like.
Writer: [writing this down] Good. Good. I'm sure I can whip that out quickly if I have the right music. Now are you sure that you want to leave Heero at the end of "Division"?
Wufei: Yes. It's the only way I can salvage my pride. And the whole fic would seem strange if I still stayed with him after what Duo tells me.
Writer: Okay. I think we're done then. You can call up Duo and Trowa and tell them that I'm going to finish "Rhythm Noir," come Hell or highwater tonight.
