Meme is still open (I think I'll leave this one open all week), so I'll add more on if more happen. To re-iterate, I apparently don't actually know what 'sentance' means, so all of them are more drabbles/ficlets than sentances. *smiles sheepishly* Also, so far? Very mythology-oriented. Heh. But thats fine, because I missed them. *smiles*

So far:

5 Gabriel/Loki ficlets (SPN/Norse myth) for

order_of_chaos. Turned into Gabriel & Loki walking the earth, and includes Arabic, Irish, Greek, Slavic and (bizarrely) Hittite myths/folklore. *shrugs*

5 Gabriel-Loki-Kali ficlets (SPN/Norse/Hindu myth) for

mercuryblue144. Went a bit philosophical on me, but for that I blame the prompts. *grins faintly*

5 Carogne ficlets (original fiction) for

sablin27. Jan is surprisingly complicated. Huh.

5 Gabriel/Loki ficlets (SPN/Norse myth) for

childe_strife. The I-love-Loki's-kids edition. *grins* All 5(/6) of them.

5 Loki/Nikola Tesla ficlets (Sanctuary/Norse myth) for

oneiriad. Went somewhat darker than I expected, for all but one of them. *sheepish*

Meme result, for

sablin27, who wanted something from Carogne. This sort of turned into ... a kind of smushing of both her prompts, in a weird way. From this meme.

I was just reading back over our Carogne stories, after last night's orig-fic meme (which is still open, by the way). It's been a while, and I was surprised by how much I'd missed that 'verse.

I had to look back up some of the flavour-terms scattered through, since it has been so long. And I realised ... When I started using the term 'mischling' from the Polizei as a slur directed towards Sebastien, I was using it in the sense of its direct translation (mongrel/half-breed), because what I'd originally done was get an English/German dictionary and look up 'mongrel'. Heh. I did not realise, until I looked the term up online this morning, that in German that particular term has a very specific connotation (here). *blinks some* Which ... is actually interesting, given Sebastien's deformaties and the views thereof, especially among the Families. Not even remotely what I intended, but ... interesting.

*shakes head* This actually isn't the first time that's happened in Carogne. Me picking a word that sounds good that later turns out to mean something specific that is weirdly appropriate in context, I mean. The name of the city itself, for example. I just wanted a cool-sounding, vaguely European name, and 'Carogne' popped into my head. Turns out, 'carogne' is Italian for 'carrion', which, given the city that's in it, is again kinda fitting. Heh. Of course, now I've got to work out why a city that is theoretically under Vienna, as in Austria, suddenly has an Italian name, but hey, that's all part of the fun. (Carogne, as it turns out, has a very complicated past - Italian name, Austro-hungarian ruling classes, a Romani/Egyptian underworld ... fun place, Carogne. The rodent capital of Europe). Heh.

Note to self, though. Look up words, preferably in some detail, before you use them in a story. *sheepish* On the other hand, it's sort of amazing the things you learn through writing shit. *grins faintly*

Will by multichaptered. However, it will probably end up being updated every, oh, six months or so. Just to warn you.

Story Notes:
Title: Carogne
Rating: R, maybe.
Genre: Victorian Urban Fantasy (with rats)
Copyright: Setting is largely my creation. Jan and Molly belong to my sister. More or less everyone else belongs to me.
Summary:

Follow me, my friend. Follow me down, from the eaves and streets of Vienna, through her stone-lined sewers, to the passages that lie deeper still. Follow me, through the gaslit tunnels of roots and stone and crumbling earth, to the secret city beneath Vienna, her dark and miniature mirror. Follow me to Carogne, City of Rats, where intrigue and mystery await, where the mighty forces of the corrupt Polizei and the criminal Wekha clash in humid darkness, where feral Romani traders ply the waterways of the sewers, where rodents and reptiles struggle for survival in the twisting Victorian tunnels and streets. Follow me, my friends, to intrigue and adventure and criminal enterprises to suit all tastes.

But beware. For there are many entrances to the gaslit world of Carogne, sewers and shafts and burrows all. Many entrances. But few, so very few, are the exits.

Chapter Notes:

Title: Raid
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Sebastien, Jan
Wordcount: 1017
Summary: Sebastien's having a very bad day. Jan isn't exactly helping.
