I don't have as much to say about the other story I wrote for Jukebox.

Fixing a Memory (2437 words) by seekingferret
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Nuit d'ivresse - Hector Berlioz (Song)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aeneas/Dido
Characters: Dido of Carthage, Aeneas
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting
Summary:

Ah, doomed young love. There's nothing like it in the world.

Basically I have "Les Troyens" feels and writing this fic consisted of me frantically spewing them all over the page. I listened to different versions of "Nuit D'Ivresse" 23 times while writing this story, and I still crack up every time Mercury pops up to cockblock Aeneas. Quillori asked for a story that was aware of the impending doom of the relationship, and so I wrote one where my lovers were extremely aware, and yet trying as hard as they could to deny it.


I should also talk about my gifts. I am so lucky to have received two wonderful stories.

Do Not Tap On The Glass (1071 words) by El Staplador
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Aquarium - Camille Saint-Saens
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Original Character, Fish - Character
Additional Tags: POV Second Person, Present Tense, Creepy
Summary:

Perhaps it isn't such a good idea to bring the ocean onto the land. Perhaps it's better to keep the two separate. Perhaps it's a very bad idea to tap on the glass.

This is the one that proves that I was right and Morbane was wrong, and programmatic instrumental music belongs in Jukebox. This story is marvelous at sustaining the emotional feel of Saint-Saens's music while telling a spooky, eerie story about the world just on the other side of the glass (and I felt that, given the importance of The Glass as a fannish metaphor, it was brilliant to center the glass as the boundary line in this story).


Holy Kiss (227 words) by Missy
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Judas - Lady Gaga (Song)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Judas/Jesus/Mary Magdalene
Characters: Judas (Lady Gaga), Mary Magdalane (Lady Gaga)
Additional Tags: Drabble, Reincarnation, Beginnings
Summary:

Time's got them stuck in a holding pattern. This a new one for her, but she'll deal.

This is a drabble-y thing about the bullshit I scribbled at the last minute as a prompt for Lady Gaga's "Judas". I didn't really know why I was requesting "Judas", so I babbled something about how the modern recasting of the Jesus-Judas-Magdalene triangle implied some sort of cyclic nature of the dynamic, and this fic takes that concept and gleefully runs with it.

Thanks to my authors, thanks to my recipients, and thanks to Morbane for running Jukebox!

This is the one that proves that I was right and Morbane was wrong - Gosh. Just because I practically made you write an essay to explain how it would work.

Thanks for playing! Come again! :)
