Summary: She may be a maid who goes unnoticed, but she has a life too. And sometimes it's the unnoticed that make an impact.

( Rose didn’t quite make it to the biggest stage, to the blockbusters and glitzy premieres, but her name was certainly out there. More than once Trudy wondered if Ruth had heard of her success and realized she was alive, but Trudy doubted it. Ruth wouldn’t guess for a moment that Rose would drop the good name of DeWitt-Bukater, let alone appropriate one as “commonplace” as Dawson. )

Title: Trudy
Fandom(s): Titanic
Rating: PG
Characters: Trudy, OC, Rose, cameos by others
Summary: She may be a maid who goes unnoticed, but she has a life too. And sometimes it's the unnoticed that make an impact.
Warnings/Spoilers: None...unless you're the one person on the planet who hasn't seen this movie.
Word Count: 8,386
Disclaimer: Not mine. Those millions and millions of dollars belong to James Cameron.
Author’s Notes: Saw Titanic in 3D the other day—holy nostalgia Batman!—and was inspired to write this by the scene where Cal goes apeshit and Trudy comes to help Rose. It probably wasn't supposed to mean anything, but I took it and ran with it.  Also, while it’s all but explicitly shown that Trudy dies in the wreck, I’m pretending she doesn’t.

Split into three parts because I don't think LJ would take all of it at once, because they're in a way relatively stand-alone, and because the epilogue has more to do with Rose than Trudy. It mentions briefly earlier parts of the story, but I feel like as as its own story it would be about the 15 millionth reimagining, thus pointless to publish it separately.

Anyway...enjoy?

( Trudy couldn’t help but see Rose not as a hardened ten-, then twelve-, then fifteen-year-old wife-in-waiting, but as a child who had been required to grow up entirely too quickly. )

Characters: Ashley Boyd, Sean Herman, Mr. Gold

Word Count: 576
Disclaimer: Wish I owned it, but I don't.
Author’s Notes: My first delving into this wonderful show. I didn't imagine my first one being an Ashley angst piece, but sometimes prompts take you by surprise.

( She can no longer read his face, not like she used to. )

Title: Bite
Fandom(s): The Vampire Diaries
Rating: PG
Characters: Tyler Lockwood
Summary: People don’t go near Tyler Lockwood anymore.
Warnings/Spoilers: None.
Word Count: 100
Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries. Ah, well.
Author’s Notes: So...I don’t really know what this is. Just a very vague drabble that struck me. I’d love to hear your interpretations.

( He was always an angry guy, but could charm his way out of anything. )

Title: Close to a Fault Line
Fandom(s): The Vampire Diaries
Rating: G

Warnings/Spoilers: Missing scene from “By the Light of the Moon.”
Word Count: 3,057
Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries. Ah, well.
Author’s Notes: You can thank voz_76 for this. She asked for something to fill in the blanks after Tyler’s transformation, since we never really were shown what happened, and this is the result. Hope it’s decent!

( That one word has been the only one pinballing throughout her head since she was forced to leave his side, the same litany over and over: his name. )

Some brief background:

Until not too long ago, I was dead certain I would never watch this show. I hate the romanticizing of vampires in this day and age, and there is no word in any language to describe my loathing for Twilight (which remains as potent as ever, unlike that for The Vampire Diaries). I saw the previews for this show, rolled my eyes, and vowed to never see it.

But then I realized that you can’t argue against something if you don’t know what you’re talking about. For example, I’ve read the first three Twilight books and a synopsis of the fourth, which means I know the vapid, Mary Sue characters and I know the bad writing. I can cite things from it. In short, if I get into a debate with a Twihard, I will win. Because they can’t use the “You haven’t even read the books!” retort.

The same went with The Vampire Diaries. Admittedly I didn’t know anyone who was a fan of it, but in case I ran across something on the internet or someone who enjoyed it, I wanted to have rebuttals at the ready.

( In which I wax poetic. )
