I accomplished practically nothing this week in terms of actual writing. Which sucks in general, and double-sucks so far as it concerns my participation in almosthumanbang. Not ready to give up quite yet (there's still more than a few months to go), but I find my enthusiasm with the story waning, and that concerns me.

I've been following my usual pattern with the new crossover series. You know the one: Idea, then plotting a whole goddamned outline, then getting ideas for prequels, sequels, and assorted nonsense. Then I open up GIMP and start making graphics.

Because I'm mental.

This is the banner I've created for the Grimm crossover. I'm not entirely happy with it. I think that's mostly because of the corner bit... I was having trouble getting the lettering to look like it was printed on paper. No matter what I did, it either came out too blurry or too crisp. Also, Kevin seems...very boring in this image. Which sucks, considering the larger fic in this 'verse pretty much revolves around him.




I am, however, quite happy with how my manip of löwen!Javi turned out. I mean...it's cheesy as hell, but aside from the sheer hopeless nerdery of having spent an hour or so altering a pic to turn Jon Huertas into a lion furry, I think it looks awesome.




So, yeah. That's all for now. I think perhaps this is deserving of a Moment of Zen, so in the spirit of Grimm I give you...cellos.

Title: Until Lambs Become Lions
Series: Grimm Reflections
Fandoms: Castle, Grimm
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fantasy, Angst, Romance
Details: Pre-slash, crossover, AU, genre!crack, mythical creatures, fairytales, divorce, cross-cultural relationships, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings:pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, past-Kevin Ryan/Jenny O'Malley.
Wordcount: 2,176
Summary: There are things Javier knows about his partner's wife—ex-wife—that Kevin doesn't.
Notes:This is a prologue to a longer fic entitled "Grimm Reflections", which will involve a proper crossover with the characters from Grimm.
All you need to know to understand this story is that there are races of animal-like supernatural creatures called "wesen" (ves-en) that live secretly amongst humans, and Grimms are humans gifted (or cursed) with the ability to see them for what they really are. Grimms act as humanity's defenders from wesen-kind. Historically, many have viewed all wesen as subhuman or evil, contributing to the reciprocal belief among wesen that Grimms are indiscriminate, brutal killers.

"I'm not afraid of you, Javier," Jenny finally admitted, voice rough as she looked up into his eyes. "I'm afraid of him." )
