February fic roundup

Two seems to be the magic number for 2010. this month there really should be three fics, but I am having trouble getting to the end of my second help_haiti fic. (I'm so sorry, littledrop!)

Be My Valentine 8000 words. Sam/Dean NC-17 Everyone should have the chance to go to a formal dance at least once in his life.

shiver, river, quiver 1800 words. Sam/Dean NC-17 Dean is always right there to protect his brother, no matter what.

I've managed a lot less work on my novel than I'd hoped, despite a positive meeting with my thesis adviser, though I think I have solved one of the problems I have been mulling over, so I suppose I've been doing work without writing. I've also done a fair amount of reading things like Charles Baxter's The Art of Subtext and less-useful things like Under the Dome. I still find my most useful writing days are the ones I spend in the cafe with skyblue_reverie. I think I need to figure out another thing to do like that each week. There's apparently a nice cafe owned by a friend of my mom's a couple of miles away. I'll have to try that out. That, and stop playing Plants vrs Zombies
