Wings 2: Home
Feb. 10th, 2013 02:37 pmI had someone with a straight face tell me the other day that picking a doctor, dentist , or specialist was just like buying a car or a house. She recommended getting a list of suggested medical people (suggested by people who work with the insurance company); call up the insurance company to see if they will cover them, call someone (I’m not sure who this was) and find out how much a visit will cost (we have a website to go to which is supposed to consolidate these first three steps but can’t be trusted), differentiating a consolation from a regular visit, then make the appointment (or do the whole thing again over and over until you find someone that will be paid for). This may be true, but I don’t want to have to treat each doctor visit like I’m making a lifelong decision. I want to go to a doctor that I like and who gets the job done without hours of stress on my part.
She also suggested not getting every test or shot the doctors recommend even if the insurance will pay for it. She used the HPV vaccine as an example. I’ve got strong feelings when it comes to preventable diseases. And I know people who got cervical cancer before the shot was available plus now it’s been proven to stop many kinds of STDs. Does she think her teenage daughter will never have sex? Maybe she’s just delusional.
Title: Home
Series: Wings
Status: Complete
Genre: fantasy, family, love, m/n
Rating: PG
Content: morning, breakfast, rules, chaos of parenthood, questions, clothes hunting, flying, discomfort, fabric, tears, unashamed, heat, the cindergirl, new clothes, stops, names, rest, more clothes, thanks, flight, a parade, a feast, joy, home
Length: about 5,300 words - twice
Summary: Kairava wants to start a life with Enzi, but they have to get home first.
Note: As before the first version is with gender neutral pronouns and the version immediately following that is with male pronouns for the Ishika. (I left a few in that version’s dialog because those people would never refer to Kairava as male.)
Kairava woke and touched nir belly. The same odd quiver had come over nem as the morning after nir first night in Enzi. Another baby was on the way.
Or maybe two like last time.

Miscellanea
Nov. 11th, 2012 10:34 pm Is anyone else getting those spams with links as comments on lj? I heard on the radio a while ago that the way Google calculates "points" means that having a link placed (even in the comments) on a well viewed site, pushes that linked site towards the top of the page. And I understand that spam blankets everything, but I don't see how adding their link to my lj posts (almost a dozen since noon yesterday) would help them at all. And really can't they be a little more original. Every single one of these is exactly the same 'I've got a huge crush on you' message.
Also can anyone think of a mama/papa/daddy equivalent of carrying-parent. That is the only think keeping me from posting part two of Wings. What do little Ravi and Draja call Kairava? Carcar? Caca? Cara? I'll post both a gender neutral and an all male pronoun version for those that have trouble reading GPNs. But as I will start working long holiday hours starting Wednesday, the sooner I can come up with a word the more likely the story will go up before January.
And for those who read Gestures, I'm almost 5k in to the second, as yet untitled, part. I haven't decided on the rating yet (I haven't written anything graphic in over a year, maybe two) but it will probably come down to whether I can find time to write when the kids aren't home.
Last time I spent an hour in my house alone: Two weeks ago. Next time: who knows.

At one point all seven of the women who worked in the coffee kiosk at work had names that started with the same sound: Keri, Kelsey, Caitie, Quin, and the like. I can really imagine a family naming their girls like this, one step up from everyone having the same first initial.

Status: Complete
Genre: fantasy, family, love, m/n
Rating: PG
Content: gender neutral characters, xenophobes, babies, heartbreak, traveling, flight, running away, climbing, a fight, home
Length: about 3,300 words
Summary: Kairava finds exactly where home is.
Note: I'm using ne as the gender neutral pronoun. ne/nem/nir/nirs/nirself like he/him/his/his/himself or she/her/her/hers/herself.
Kairava rubbed nir belly and tried to push the worries away. Nir belly was swelling with child, but swelling too quickly, which foretold one of two things. The first was twins, a cause for celebration and festivities. But the second was that the child would look like nir out-parent and not be Ishika.
( he was the most beautiful person Kairava had ever seen )

( For those who want the story without the complication of GNP )
