Title: Let’s Bring Back the Cold War (To Save on Air-Conditioning)
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Russia/America
Rating: PG
Warnings: Adult language, use of human names, more likely than not OOC-ness, and err...violence with a book? >>

Summary: If you can't take the heat, call your BFF Ivan.  

Author’s Notes: X-posted on deviantART. A RussiAmerica piece, but nothing to do with my multi-chapter fiction. It’s just a random insomnia-induced one-shot that I was finally able to finish after my computer stopped holding my Word documents hostage. And posted because I haven't updated anything writing-wise since the summer. So I decided to break this block of inactivity with a crack piece inspired by the fanon idea that Ivan does not produce body heat. I'm not making fun of it, or the writers who write it, but this didn't stop my brain from thinking, "Gee, wouldn't that be awesome for Alfred to have on a really hot day?" Sorry in advance for the madness. @w@

Title: How America Became...
Character(s) or Pairing(s): England, America, with mentions of Russia, France and the brief acknowledgement of an OC nation.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Adult language, use of human names, and author-altered historical events. Also be prepared for snarkiness.  
Summary: Set during the Malta Summit of 1989. An unexpected hiccup in plans may cause more than just a shift in location.

Author's Notes: De-virginizing my old journal with new writing. Finally. This is trippy. I've been working on this project since March (which says all kinds of dorky/pathetic things about me), and now that I'm actually posting it's surreal. Especially since there was a period of time when I was ready to give up on this thing before it even began. Which ended a couple weeks ago when I reread my rough draft and didn't hate it anymore. I'm still insecure since this is the first piece I've finished after a slump, but someone once said you have to be willing to write badly in order to improve...and there's always my BFF revision. There probably will be some tweaking in the future once the other chapters start popping up. But one step at a time.

I will say this, though: the later chapters will explain the title of the fiction. Unless I change it to something else which I've been considering...   

I have Charlotte/Jebba to thank for getting this far, for not only reading and critiquing my drafts, but also humoring me with discussion, and and being excited about the project. I could write on and on about how much I heart and appreciate your help.
