I have an embarrassment of riches this year: two beautiful pieces of fan art by alles_luege. Just a note: they might not be safe for work.

( Nancy and Ann )

Title: Waiting to Begin
Fandom: MSI, with some Hey Monday, a guest appearance from Cobra Starship and other assorted musician types.
Pairings: Kitty/Lyn-Z, with minor Lyn-Z/others and Kitty/Vicky-T--but mostly gen
Length: About 37,200 words
Rating/Warnings: I'd say NC-17 for sexual content and some fairly graphic violence, including minor character death.
Notes/Summary/Disclaimer: In a world where humans and fairies have been at war for generations, Kitty's spent most of her life in the Order of Order, trying to devote herself to rules and order. The problem is, she makes a lousy nun. What she really wants is an adventure, and when she leaves the nunnery to learn about both the world and herself, she certainly finds one, with the help of a mercenary army, a couple of woman warriors, and a pair of irate tree spirits.

Thank you to the friends who gave me encouragement while I was writing, especially Fred, who's been cheering me on about this for, like, a year, and gave it a read-through and let me bounce ideas off her; thanks very much to modillian for the wonderful mix here and alles_luege for the beautiful art here, and thanks to the Bandom Big Bang mods for organizing this hootenany.

And finally, although I know it might seem to go without saying, I feel obligated to say that I don't own or have any rights over the real people on whom the characters in this story are ever-so-loosely based, and am using names and traits of public personae without permission. No offense or attempt to profit is intended.
