in the end, resistance was futile...

We all know that I am obsessed enamored with a certain pairing *cough5xRcough*, yes?

Well, I finally did what I've wanted to do for years, but never got around doing because I felt silly creating yet another GW comm, because I didn't have enough time (which I still don't) etc. But today, there was a post on the - pretty much dead - 5xRML with a fic search, and when I replied I wished that I had another place where I could link to, where there is a collection of works featuring Wufei and Relena, so that the love for this rare pairing doesn't die.

So I decided that today would be as bad good a time as any to finally create that comm. Over the years I've collected fics and snippets from all over the place, and I intend to use the comm mainly to get all those links in one place, most likely including recs for them, maybe even repost a couple of things.

And this is where I have a question for you guys. Several of you have been so kind and indulged me with my crazy love for this pairing, writing numerous snippets and fics for me - by request or just because. Sadly, some of these requests are now burried in endless threads of drabble request posts and I was wondering if it would be ok for me to dig them up and repost them in the comm, with all credit that is due, of course. You could also post them yourself if you prefer.

Naturally, new things would also be welcome. *grins*

Although there is nothing there yet (I'll get to that later this weekend), here's the link:

you have my permission... or i can do so for you, if you'd like (my stuff, i mean) since i know there are several you'd have to dig for. :)

and yay!! for creating the community. :) i will endeavor to add more to it as time goes on (and the muse gets off its lazy ass).

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

*beams* Either way is fine with me, really. I don't mind the digging, although I suspect I'd get distracted along the way more than once. XD

Of course, it would make it easier for me if you post them yourself, plus if someone chose to comment on the ficcage you'd get the comment emailed directly (if lj decides to send the notice, that is *snerk*).

*snugs* I'm so happy to have your support in this. You know how much I adore your 5xR writing. ^_~

*grins wickedly*

i should work on that one fic then... it's on my list to finish this month, and posting it to the new comm can be a goal then.

*hugs* thank you! i'm happy you like the way i write them. :) i really do enjoy the pairing, but get so distracted by other things. *sigh* there's never enough time to do everything you want.

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

*glees* I can't wait to see that one fic. You've been such a tease about it. :P

And it would be wonderful to have it in the comm, showing that the 5xR love is well alive.

*sigh* there's never enough time to do everything you want.

Amen. Sad, but too true.

♥!

there. now i think i'm done spamming the comm... at least there's only a couple i've subjected to it. :)

[iniq.livejournal.com]

I saw your pimp before I saw Mara's original post. XD That's what I call effective.

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Done and since most of my major stories have 5xR as pairing even if it's not the main pairing focus of the story you're welcome to those too.

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

*snuggleloves* Thank you! ♥!

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

My pleasure. I'll see about writing something new for the comm once I finish NaNo.

[darthanne.livejournal.com]

I think there's at least one even if it's not the main pairing (Wake in the Dream) but you're welcome to it and any others.

Joining in a mo.

Hmm, realised I don't have a 5xR icon.

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

Wufei is good, too. *grins* 5xR icons are hard to come by. I'll have to make a new one for the comm, too, but I don't have my pics with me a the moment. ^^;

Wake in the Dream will be recced at one point. ^_^

XD Took you long enough.

You should hold a rally. Some kind of challenge thing. Post a table or something with prompts. Call it an "to the end of the year"-race. Or a seasonal rally. It's fall. Fall's considered to be a superb prompt season for a lot of people.
Have people give you fic for your comm. =D

Don't just heat the old stuff up. Have them cook up something new. >:3

[merith.livejournal.com]

i challenge you to write something.

prompt - cooking up something new.

[iniq.livejournal.com]

Hmph.
Didn't you notice how I said "them" and not "us"? =p
All right. Let's see... cooking up something new. Well, it's probably only just, since I came up with that bad metaphor.

random domesticity, if that's okay for you.


She was home early.

"What's that smell?" Relena asked when she came home.

Wufei gave her a half-wave. Turned around and opened the window. "Duo's recipe."

Relena looked down at the sheet of paper lying next to the stove. "Sexual Ambivalence?"

"It's basically just a risotto with parmesan," he said, peering into the pot. "And zucchini."

"The ambivalent part?"

"Probably," Wufei said. Things he had never asked to know about his friend.

"He's reading Burroughs again, isn't he?"

"Probably," Wufei repeated.

"Speaking of," Relena said, leaning against the counter. "I saw a roach in my office today."

"And you mention that while I'm cooking why?"

She shrugged. "It was big."

"You got bug spray?"

"I called my pest control number."

"What did they say?"

"He thinks I'm overreacting and that he'll come by as soon as he's getting off work tomorrow," Relena said. "Sometimes I think he doesn't care."

Wufei snorted. "It's Heero. What do you expect?"

"So, anyway. When's dinner?" she deterred.

"The risotto doesn't wait for the guests. The guests wait for the risotto," Wufei answered.

"That means?"

Wufei looked at the text Duo had sent him. "Ten minutes. It needs to rest now."

[merith.livejournal.com]

hehe... and heero's relena's pest control?

oh this is cute, and wufei cooking dinner (using a recipe from duo of all people!)

WHY IS THIS POSTED HERE AND NOT IN THE COMM?! :P

*snug* it's cute! ♥
