Hi. I'm Katie (thewayoutis) and this is my fanfiction journal.

Fandom-wise, I tend to hang out for a while and then pack up to play somewhere else.

I like to think I keep things pretty well-tagged; you can look around on my tags page to see exactly what I've been up to.

Fic recs & other stuff

If you decide to friend me (hope of all hopes) I'd love it if you commented here and told me where you found me. :)

And please validate my existence:


*HUGS* TOTAL!

Title: Phantom Limb Syndrome
Author: thewayoutis/rocketsnrobots
Rating: PG-13.
Word Count: Just north of 9000. (IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND)
Pairing: Dean/Castiel, not quite as we know them. Also, Castiel/OMC, in a convoluted way. Also look out for Sam.
Notes: This is my first Supernatural fic, and all feedback is welcome, particularly crit and suggestions. Thanks to narrativeliving for betaing, and ctheb for encouragement when this story was in its early stages, which was months ago.
Summary: Castiel falls, and is reborn.

( How do you have memories of things that have never happened to you? )

I started this mix about midway through season four, which is why it doesn't seem to take Recent Events into account. My idea of how the Apocalypse would be going down got totally jossed, but that's okay! That's what AU is for, after all.

The reason this took so long to post is because I wanted to post it with fic, which was impossible to finish and then was basically lost. So maybe one day that will happen, but today is not that day!

This mix is both Dean/Sam and Dean/Castiel, but mostly the latter.

the box folder

Not so much a fanmix as a playlist, really. About threesomes that go awry and mess with the heads of everyone involved.

This is drawing from my own experience, and there's kind of a progression of events hinted at here. Suffice to say that when you get a gay man, his fag hag, and her boyfriend in bed together, and when attraction within the threesome is one-way (meaning the gay man is into the other guy, the other guy is into the fag hag, and the fag hag is into the gay man), things get kind of messy. And they all get broken up in the end.

Warning: shitty cover art (srsly, it's super lame) and general angst under the cut.

( I've moved past threesomes. I'm now into foursomes. If someone backs out, then you've still got a threesome. If two people back out, you're still having sex. )

the box folder

Title: Divinorum
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Nathan/Ofdensen.
Rating: R.
Warning(s): Handjobs, unsatisfying sex (I think this is a recurring theme).
Word Count: 1250
Author Notes: This is a follow up to Reification, a story I posted a few weeks ago. Maybe you would like to read that first? Hell, I don't know. The stuff Ofdensen is smoking here is salvia divinorum plus a little creative license. A little bit cross-posted.
Summary: Apropos of nothing.

( Gravity. )

Title: Reification
Rating: R
Pairings: Nathan/Ofdensen, Assassin/Ofdensen (implied).
Word Count: 3350
Warnings: Implied non-con, in more places than you might think. Major character coma. Also, weird shit within. Creepy.
Notes: I had to drag this story kicking and screaming, writing 100 or so words at a time after sitting with it for hours on end. I hope it was worth all the mental anguish. Did I mention this shit is weird? Fucking weird.
Spoilers: For "The Revengencers" and basically the "Assassin's murderous rage" subplot of season two.
Summary: He's being watched.

( Waiting. )

Title: Razor Blades
Rating: NC-17.
Pairings: Assassin/Ofdensen, Nathan/Ofdensen, Ofdensen/?
Warnings: Violence. Sex. Bad stuff. D:


( post no bills )

okay. i watched samurai champloo last week. all of it. and these three belong together.

super mixtape version
box.net link

01. release part 1 - blackalicious
damage your pattern i'm pounding you so fabulous
enough is enough is enough and i'm busting up outta this shell
in eruption and rupture your structure the fuck with you

release

02. risingson - massive attack
all the variations you could do with me
nicer than the girl up in your mind you're free

you're gonna fade into the background
like a better smoke'll bring you back round
like a man slide inside you my dear
your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears
see 'em run now you're gone
dream on

03. release part 2 - blackalicious
i can think of nothing heavier than an airplane
i can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal
i can think of nothing less likely to fly
there are no wings more weighted
i too have felt a heaviness
the stare of man guessing at my being
yes i am homeless
a homeless man making offerings to the after-future
sculpting rubber tree forests out of worn tires and shoe soles

04. you're my flame - zero 7
you make hay when the sun don't shine
you don't need a dollar, you don't need a dime
you burn at both ends yet still you're fine

05. protection - massive attack
now i can't change the way you think
but i can put my arms around you
that's just part of the deal
that's the way i feel
i put my arms around you

06. beautiful - sook-yin lee
it’s a beautiful day today
you always say you shouldn’t be here
your brush with death was far too near, dear
and it left you looking pretty in an ugly sort of way

Title: Where We Go After the Fall
Rating: R
Pairings: Nathan/Ofdensen.
Word Count: approx. 2900
Warnings: Major character death, angst, sex (of the unsatisfying kind).
Notes: God, this story got me down. Here, purplesyringes! Of course it's for you. :3 I must give her credit for the idea of raising a man from the dead with metal. Brutal. This shit gets pretty weird.
Spoilers: Like whoa for the season finale.
Summary: He has a lot of time to think about regrets.

( where you go, nobody knows )

Title: Say It With a Smile, Boy
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: pre-Dethklok Nathan/Ofdensen
Word Count: approx. 2600
Warnings: Sex (and some of the consequences that come with it), violence, drug use.
Spoilers: Some for "The Metalocalypse Has Begun".
Notes: For Jay (purplesyringes ). This goes to kind of a weird place.
Summary: Charles Ofdensen's life, pre-Dethklok. Look out, once again, for one Nathan Explosion. This is too much fun.

01. the devil made me holier than every man
02. you can sure get lost in a lusianna bayou

( warped )

i have been absent for a while. here's why:

a. i'm out of school, which means limited internet access.
2. my computer finally fucked off. it was a four-year-old ibm thinkpad workhorse, and it finally decided it was time to go gently into that good night.
iii. i got a job. i clean rooms at a hampton inn.

good news, though!

1. i got a flash new machine.
B. my old hard drive has been made into a new external hard drive. no data has been lost, hallelujah, hosanna, etc.
4. i've been reading a lot. when i read, i write. it happens.

STATUSES, you ask? HERE IS YOUR STINKING STATUS, FRIENDS:

infection/that zombie story: i have written nothing. jack fucking shit, kids. but fear not! i am not planning on leaving it there, promise. i am frankly surprised that people seem to be enjoying it. surprised AND PLEASED AND FEEL FREE TO KEEP THOSE COMPLIMENTS COMING

say it with a smile, boy/that metalocalypse story: i have written some! there is more in the wings. it's not easy, people.

thanks for your patience. your call is important to us.

Title: Say It With a Smile, Boy (2/?)
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: pre-Dethklok Ofdensen/OMC/OFC (lol)
Word Count: approx. 1350
Warnings: Sex (of the threesome sort) and violence (of the violent sort).
Spoilers: None.
Notes: For Jay (purplesyringes), because she encourages my madness. Wartime Economy/Panorama, to my mind, sounds like Sonic Youth. Weird and kind of bored. Make of that what you will. Also, I know jack fucking shit about New Orleans, particularly the wards and everything. Wikipedia can only take one so far, so if you've got some insight, I'd like some. ♥
Summary: Charles Ofdensen's life, pre-Dethklok.

( you can sure get lost in a louisiana bayou )

Title: Say It With a Smile, Boy
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: pre-Dethklok Nathan/Ofdensen (lol whut)
Word Count: approx. 2800
Warnings: SEX. Also, a passing mention of fisting.
Spoilers: None.
Notes: For Jay (purplesyringes), who is too awesome for words. This is part one of a series that hopefully will not be tooooo long.
Summary: Charles Ofdensen's life, pre-Dethklok. Look out for one Nathan Explosion.

( the devil made me holier than every man )

Oh, Ofdensen. What a bastard, amirite?

IT IS A PROLIFIC FANMIX DAY AT CASA DE ROCKETSNROBOTS, because here is the second torchwood fanmix within an hour, this time for gwen, because the amount of hate she generates amongst the torchwood fandom irks me to no end (i know, it's nothing new for lead women characters to be reviled amongst the primarily-women slashers in any given fandom, and it seems that strong women are just fucking magnets for it - it is a problem, okay. ladies please stop hating on each other). i've been brewing this one for like a month (and it's only seven stupid tracks, go figure), but then "Adrift" aired, and i loved it because it was basically Gwen Cooper Adventures (although i was a little disappointed, because the preview for it made it seem like it would be Gwen & Tosh Adventures, and i was ecstatic at the possibility of seeing the two of them interact more). anyway, seven fun tracks for you, and i'm trying out box.net's little widget there. hope that works out.





box.net link

01. code red - tori amos
slip and slide my way through this charade
i know all the players and i must say
do this long enough and you'll get a taste for it

"whatever you do," he said, "look after that"

02. if you fall - azure ray
you speak so sweet
with words so delicate
a glass i hope will never shatter
if you fall will you get up
stuck in a dream
will you wake up
and if you fell in love
will you hold on to it

03. it's not up to you - bjork
i can decide
what i give
but it's not up to me
what i get given
unthinkable surprises
about to happen
but what they are
it's not up to you
well it never really was

04. the whores hustle and the hustlers whore - pj harvey
speak to me of universal laws
the whores hustle and the hustlers whore
all around me people bleed
speak to me
your song of greed

speak to me of your inner charm
of how you'll keep me safe from harm
i don't think so
i don't see
speak to me of your inner peace

the whores hustle and the hustlers whore
too many people out of love
the whores hustle and the hustlers whore
this city's ripped right to the core

05. we've got everything - modest mouse
we've got everything down to a science so i guess we know everything
we know everything was built to expire so i guess we've done everything
we've done eveything like trial by fire so i guess we'll stop trying now
we've tried everything half-assed and as liars and that's how we've got everything

06. the space between - zero 7
now that i've seen you
stripped to the very core
i know that i need you
less than i did before

07. high expectation - stereolab
do you really want to love someone who does not love you?
do you really want to stab your enemy in the back?
stab him in front
i don't, i don't, i don't. i'm sorry.

do you want to be the offshoot of delusion?
will you give in to resignation?
i'm sorry.
i won't, i won't, i won't. i'm sorry.

do you feel you owe the errant foe anything at all?
i don't, i don't, i don't. i'm sorry.




remember, i am hosting these for 24-hour preview purposes only. enjoy!

so here's a jack/ianto fanmix. it's angsty, because where the episodes leave blanks, i fill in with angst. i don't want to get too spoilery here, but suffice to say that jack has been kind of a dick this season, and so i imagine ianto might have been feeling a bit slighted lately.

two thoughts:

1. the cover sucks, and i'm sorry. i am, however, fond of the back. my shooping skills may be lacking but damn if i don't know how to crop an image, amirite?

b. look out for the obligatory modest mouse song! every fanmix i have ever done contains at least one modest mouse song, and i cannot figure out why.

box.net link

01. nevertheless - the brian jonestown massacre
three words you have spoken
don't make me a fool
as a gesture or token
please play by the rules

02. destroying angel - sneaker pimps
i know you know my head's not in this now
nothing you can keep, so keep me down
like the stones beneath the water that you walk on to be taller

i know it doesn't pay to be this hurt.

03. dirty fingernails - modest mouse
dirty, dirty fingernails
dirty, dirty fingernails
out of the shower
onto the bathroom
out in the kitchen
underneath the casserole

it takes a lot of energy to make that sound.

04. 3s & 7s - queens of the stone age
lie
lie to my face
tell me it ain't nothing
that's what i want to hear
take the lie to the grave

the truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
so why tell it?

05. cruel - tori amos
even the rain bows down, let us pray,
as you cock your mane.

06. strangers - cloud vegas
we give peace of mind for free
where i come from
if you love me, you need to speak now
before it's over
mean what you say now
soon we'll be strangers

07. over it - tori amos
(instrumental)

EDIT: here's the widget, 'cause i've just discovered it and i think it's neat:



remember, these tracks are for 24-hour preview purposes only.

Title: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Rating: PG-13.
Pairings: Cox/JD, established.
Notes: For 2dozenowies  .
Word Count: 1660
Warnings: Obsessive-compulsive disorder, kids. Sometimes resulting in bloody things? Nothing too graphic, but angst like whoa.
Spoilers: None.
Notes: Set in season 5, when JD and Elliot are roomies. This is not terribly important. Also, this is a follow-up to Psychological Trauma (have I ever made an official apology for my weak sauce titles? I am lazy, you guys), so you may want to read that to give you some context here.
Summary: "How long are you going to keep this up?"

( 15. neurological disorder )

---

I'm uncomfortable with this. Sometimes my fanfiction journal seems like Katie's Got Problems Theatre.

2dozenowies table here.

Yay.

( art, tracklist, & download links under the cut. )

oh, god dammit.

okay, guys, here's what i'll do. ( cut for tl;dr )

so yeah. a handy bulleted list for you guys who are in a hurry:

1. LJ has a new flagging system
2. this flagging system can be voluntary or some fucking fundie madman concerned citizen can flag stuff for you
3. i'd really rather lock up the stuff i think is *gasp!* risque, since some of this stuff, to be frank, isn't for under-14s. this is to cover my ass
4. so all the sex/drugs/violence gets marked as "adult concepts"; g-rated stuff, homo-related or not, will not be flagged
5. however, if you're under 14, i'm sure you at-risk tech-savvy youth are smart enough to get around the filters anyway if you try hard enough
6. PLZ TO BE AVOIDING THE LJ/THIRD REICH COMPARISONS THX

okay. comments? discussion? lay it on me.

and i don't think i say it enough, but i love my readers/commenters. thanks for reading.
