petraFirst off, an offer for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
3weeks4dreamwidth -- prompt me for a drabble or a poem (probably a limerick) in a fandom or crossover of fandoms that I know, any time in the next three weeks, and ye shall receive!
For those of you who have oft perused my fandom's list, the new entry is: T. Kingfisher's Paladins series, #1-3. I have not dug into the whole universe yet and I have #4 on hold from the library, but I got distracted when it took a while to come in.

In honor of3weeks4dreamwidth, a meme that sanguinity gakked from regshoe, who had it from goodbyebird:
Reply to this post saying 'icon', and I will tell you my favourite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favourite icon if you're one of those inhuman things that are actually capable of choosing betweenYOUR PRECIOUS BABIES! userpics.
*
Regarding my favorite icon, which is the one I use Everywhere, I have finally gotten around to putting the source page's relevant bit on Dreamwidth:
I don't remember why I saturated it slightly more than the original art. I guess I needed the red to pop.
Tim is just So Heterosexual. Absolutely. Why would anyone ever think otherwise? Seriously, DC Editorial, took ya long enough.
Also, I cannot read that page without wanting Dick/Babs/Tim, and I cannot think of that threesome without thinking ofminoanmiss, so I guess now my default icon comes with heartache. That definitely doesn't mean I'm going to change it -- I know the grief will become more nost and less algia in time -- but right now, damn.

Apr. 24th, 2026 01:31 pmpetraThe Pushcart War by Jean Merrill + ... well really I would take just about any fictional or fictionalized city, so that's why I feel comfortable floating it as a possibility for Yuletide.
The original inspiration was "The Pushcart War set in Gotham City." I would take just about any year setting. The OG era. The social media version, complete with vigilantes with pea pin shooters.
jadelennox suggests that Alfred and General Anna are old besties, and I concur.
But, in the grand tradition of my Yuletide requests, typing this up makes me realize how much I want this story in any fictionalized 'verse of which I am sufficiently knowledgeable.
The Rivers of London take sides! You know Lady Ty is for the truckers.
Mountie under suspicion! Benton Fraser seen with pea-tack shooter! Claims it is reusable straw. Is Big Red Green?
Mélusine + trucks. Not necessarily including our protags from canon; the city is sufficiently a character to count for my purposes.
The Slow Horses investigate the pea-tack problem with their usual bumbling flair.
The Pushcart War was part of what spurred the Earth of the Expanse to implement UBI. Eh? Ehhhhh?
Manchester in 1973 is not maybe the best place, but London in 1981? Give me the Alex Drake peapin saga.
Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler III vs. trucks? :D If Palpatine can find time to reproduce, so can Throat.
