Title:             The Difference
Fandom:     Original Story
Prompt:        Wk 2 - Mens Rea
Warnings: Violence
Rating:         PG-13, FRT-13
Summary:     A confession from a "guilty" mind.

I didn't think I'd get to submit anything because of my hand injury and all the work I've been doing to complete Burn. But then I remembered this was about dragging muses back; so I dug out a story long abandoned and took a stab at it with fresh eyes. I thought it fit the prompt. Here ya go.

The Difference

strickens-girl.livejournal.com

This is my answer to the

tamingthemuse challenge of "Mens Rea" or guilty mind. I have a lot of thoughts about this fic, since it stired something inside me.

( Some thoughts about why I wrote this. )

Title: The Miserable and The Abandoned
Prompt: #2 - Mens Rea
Pairing: Giles/Ethan
Rating: Mature/Adults Only
Spoilers: Buffy Season Two The Dark Age and Buffy Season Four A New Man
Warnings: Slash, dark!fic, bloodplay.
Author's Note: The title of this fic comes from a quote from Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, tucked away under the cut because it's big. Ripper and Ethan inspired by a manip by

wickedfox under the cut as well.

( Mens rea - literally guilty mind...the intention to commit a wrongful act, the element that establishes criminal responsibility; a criminal mind. )

Okay, I got my computer back at eight, sat down with the notebook I've been writing in, and got my entry for the week done. I was going to cry if I didn't get the computer back in time to keep my run going because I know it's going to be hard to get the award I've set my sights on. I'll try to catch up with all the other stuff this weekend, and I will do the voting/ results/ new prompt thing early Sunday, just like normal.

I'm twisting the canon a bit here but I guess that's expectable since the first part was twisting it quite a lot too.

In a bid to get more readers for this fic, heehee, I decided to use the prompt here in the third chapter of a Spuffy fic I'm writing.

Title: You Know You Want To Dance
Chapter: 3
Fandom/Pairing: BTVS, Buffy/Spike
Previous parts: Part 1 and Part 2
Previously:( spoilers for parts 1&2 )
Brief summary: a darkly erotic twist on the events of Fool For Love and spinning off into an angstily Spuffy season 5.
Rating: UK 18/US NC-17
Warnings: bad language and sexual content, angst
Word count: 1800
Author’s note: this particular chapter is inspired by the prompt at

tamingthemuse - mens rea (guilty mind).

Buffy stared into the mirror. Normally she hated the lighting in the bathroom. So unflattering. It was like the lights in changing rooms in clothes stores – clearly designed by some sadistic person who liked to make girls feel fat. But today she liked the way her reflection looked. She could see every line in her face, every tiny blemish, the circles under her eyes turned by the neon light into dark holes.

I present to you my prompt response for this week's prompt. As soon as I read it, I started thinking of ways to write this out. My first instinct was to take Spike's side from season 6, and his musings on Buffy.

My muse didn't let me speak to Spike, however. Instead, she brought me Buffy herself, and I in turn bring you this.

Title: Addiction
Fandom: BtVS
Prompt: #2 - Mens Rea (The Guilty Mind)
Warnings: A little dark. Sexual suggestions. This IS season 6, after all.
Rating: Heavy PG-13 or light R
Summary: It's easy to say you'll quit. It's harder to follow through with it.

Wordcount: 1456

If there's any concrit, again, please let me know! I learned quite a bit from the last prompt response I wrote, and I'm looking forward to learning again. So...teach me, if you want to! ^_^

swweeks made some good points and, while reading through it again, I made some adjustments to the flow of the story. So here we go, Carry On My Wayward Son, reworked.

Title: Carry On My Wayward Son
Fandom: Numb3rs
Prompt: #2, Mens rea, guilty mind
Warnings: Mentions of violence, loosely fits the prompt.
Rating: Light R
Summary: Each time they were too late, it took Don a little longer to pull himself out of the quagmire of guilt and exhaustion.
Notes: Anyone who is familiar with my Numb3rs stories might be a little confused. Cassandra is an original character I created; in the series I originally created her for, she’s legally deaf. I have pulled her into a few other universes and in those universes, she can hear. This particular story occurs in my Precious Moments universe. Yes, it’s official; Cass falls in love with Don there, too. Anyways, all newcomers need to know is that Cassandra is an original character and Don is Charlie’s older brother and an FBI agent.

Title: Random Pages from the Histories, I
Fandom: Original Fiction
Prompt: Mens Rea
Warnings: Language, Sexual Suggestion
Rating: PG-13
Summary: As Declan’s wardship over Sylvie nears its end, they share an evening of food and friendship during which Sylvie tries to ease Declan’s heavy conscience.
Word Count: 1,772

Author’s Note: (advanced apologies for length) This piece, and presumably others to follow, derives from a series I’ve written whose overarching title is The Witch War Histories. The POV character Declan O’Leary appears in books two and three. As book two isn’t due to be published until sometime this year, I suppose this piece technically contains spoiler material, although I don’t anticipate that being a problem, as the first book wasn’t a bestseller. Just a heads up. I do feel this one stands alone; however, background information is available if you feel like you need it. I tried very hard to write this so that readers wouldn’t need it. Of course, background info isn’t much a problem in established universes (e.g., Buffy, Supernatural, etc.). Hopefully, I’ve managed all right. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy. Hopefully, a lot of things… By the way, for interested parties, Declan does have his own personal journal on LJ, where I’ve written a bit for other comms, although I’ve gotten rather slack lately. Still, some of it is a little fun…
