18th-Jan-2006 06:01 pm - outim fic: boredom
Uh. MERRY CHRISTMAS [info]arabwel. LOL. I told you guys it would be after the new year that I'd get to these. I still feel bad about that, but it couldn't be helped. Anyway, this is what [info]arabwel wanted for her x-mas present, and man. The OUTIM muse hasn't been worked in QUITE some time.

Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Boredom
Rated: NC-17
Pairing: Lorenzo/Sands
Notes: It's been a long time, so I hope my Mexico muse hasn't gone the way of the wind. I'm pretty satisfied with it, but I don't know. It's been a while since seeing the movie too. I really should own this fucker. My other Mexico fic can be found here. For [info]arabwel

The dry heat is absolutely suffocating and it’s not helping that he’s bored as shit. )

This fic was worth writing just for the sole purpose of this line coming out of me: "Fucked into the bed like he’s a suitcase that won’t close." What the fuck does that even MEAN?!?! I swear to God, my Sands Muse is the weirdest one yet. LOL. I've MISSED him!

ETA: I just checked. Do you know when the last time I wrote Mexico was? February 2005. It's nearly been a YEAR!

25th-Feb-2005 05:57 pm - OUTIM Ficlet: It's Not Always Chance
Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: It's Not Always Chance
Rated: PG
Characters: Sands, Lorenzo
Notes: I've fallen out of this fandom and I found I missed it. So, I wrote a double-drabble sized ficlet. Written for the latest [info]contrelamontre challenge.

Really, really bored. )

I was feeling like I was neglecting my many fandoms, so I decided to write a drabble for each. Multifandom ficlets, all dialogue only, all using various quotes from one movie in particular. Name that movie, and name those quotes, and you'll get a fic in return in whatever fandom you choose from the five I wrote these drabbles in. There's even a bonus quote that's not from that movie in one of them. Name that quote and where it's from and you'll get a ficlet as well. Individual ratings listed with each fic.

PotC, Sports Night, OUTiM, The Royal Tenenbaums, The West Wing )

Fandom: OutiM

Rated: R

it's dialogue only, just fair warning )

Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Handcuffs & Salsa
Rated: PG13
Pairing: Sands/El
Challenge: handcuffs and salsa, El/Sands, by [info]raphe1 by request.

Kind of hard to fly when you have no wings to guide you. )

Cool little meme thingie gakked from [info]yunafire found here.

"Ever heard a song, or a quote from a song, that seemed perfect to build a fic around - but the bunnies wouldn't come? The tone of the lyrics, a particular few words, the actual subject matter - doesn't matter what inspired you about it, it made you think of fic, and you've been wanting to make that happen in some way?

Well, here's the idea: you post five or ten quotes that you think would be prime fic material, either as an actual part of the fic or just as a springboard. Your friends come along, get inspired, and write you drabbles or ficlets. Then they post their quotes, and it's a big, beautiful circle of fanfiction. Got it?


here's my quotes to choose from )

here's my answering fic for hers, Sands/El )

13th-Oct-2004 07:53 pm - Sam/Sands x-over for challenge
Fandom: Benny & Joon / Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title:Talking to Strangers in Shithole Dive Bars
Characters: Sands, Sam
Rated: R, language
Challenge: Sam/Sands by [info]yunafire in my request post.

He had a feeling this man hadn't smiled in a long time, and that was very disturbing to him. )
kHo
Honestly. It's dark. Probably one of my darkest pieces.

Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Hiatus
Rated: R, language
Characters: Sands, Chicle
Notes: I never say his name, but I'm very clearly talking about Sands. LOL.

He hasn’t felt that way in so long that he can’t remember what that feels like anymore. )

I made picspam!commentary on OUTIM yesterday in [info]picspam_tvmovie and [info]voicesinmyheadx responded to my last picture, and it begat a drabble... course, I don't know if I just spelled begat correctly, but whatever.

Gun!kink, my first time writing it! Rated R )

1st-Oct-2004 09:50 am - three down, one to go
Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Three Down, One to Go
Rated: R, language
Notes: This is set in a universe created by [info]xzombiexkittenx in her fic Kingdom of the Blind. (Part 1, Part 2) This is a bit of a backstory, involving characters that she created, and characters that she vaguely referenced to. I can't explain it better than that, but read her story or else you won't get this. It does not involve Sands directly, only in reference.

Six men had gone in already, intelligence gathering, trying to find out what the hell went down. None of them had come out. )

I would like to say, whether or not you read this you NEED TO read her story, Kingdom of the Blind ( Part 1/Part 2 ) One of the best, if not THE best, Sands-fics I've read thus far. READ IT!

20th-Sep-2004 10:26 pm - Fear & Loathing in Mexico
Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Fear & Loathing in Mexico
Pairings: Sands/El, implied El/Lorenzo
Rated: R, for language
Synopsis: It was never really clear to anyone, including the two most directly involved, how it was that Sands went from ‘annoying burden’ to El’s ‘still annoying, but certainly less so, sexual partner.’
Writing Tool: //Spanish within slashes//, lifted lovingly from [info]guede_mazaka.
Notes: You can blame the plotbunny on [info]itzcoatl. You can blame the actualization on me. It came from a conversation in the comment thread of this post. I do not like Enrique, I don't think he acts well, but in the writing of this story, I made myself fall in love with him. LOL! Crazy. Fanfic induced craziness.
Thanks: Big, huge, ginormous thanks to [info]itzcoatl for the plot bunny, being a sounding board, and a wonderful beta job. Any mistakes are those that I either ignored, or didn't run by her. Thanks babe!

“That’s good Tequila you’re wasting, Sands. Pesos, man. Pesos.” )

12th-Sep-2004 12:54 am - outim fic: moments 1/1
Title: Moments
Pair: El/Sands
Rated: R, language
Notes:Well, I was reading November 1st by [info]guede_mazaka and she mentioned that [info]permetaform mentioned that there wasn't enough funny OUTIM fic. I meant for this to be funny, and it is (to me), but angst found it's way in there just a bit too. Just a bit though.

Gotta eat your carrots. Improves your eye sight.

30th-Aug-2004 05:05 am - outim ficlet: touch, sands/el
I don't know where this came from, only that it came when I was trying to sleep and annoyed me by chirping in my ear until I literally got back up and typed it up.

Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Touch
Rated: R
Pairing: Sands/El (First time going there)
Notes: Really don't know what the hell's up with the style I wrote it in. It's just how that came to me.

Hands in the hair, teeth on the neck, tongue licking up in that slow agonizing-but-so-good way. )

I did this ages ago with Sports Night, and recently did it with POTC. And now... Agent Sands.

Seven Holy Virtues / Seven Deadly Sins challenge: take a character, any fandom and write seven drabbles based on each of the seven virtues and seven based on the seven sins.

Seven Deadly Sins )

I don't know what the sam hell this is, but I know it's [info]coffeebits's fault, because after I saw Kill Bill she contemplated that it might be interesting to see a match between Elle Driver and Agent Sands of Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

And then this happened... it's very short, but it makes me want to write more.

Title: Quite the Pair
Rated: PG-13
Pair: Elle Driver/Agent Sands
Notes: For whatever reason, I have it in my head that they were neighbors as kids, and that's how they know each other. Why, I don't know. It's just what came out.
Warning: If you haven't seen Kill Bill Vol 2 or Once Upon a Time in Mexico, this will likely make exactly no sense.
Challenge: This was inspired by [info]contrelamontre's laundry list challenge this week, but since it's not slash, it's not elligable. Imagine that, me not writing slash?!

Leaving with *two* and coming back with none, now *that* stings... )

22nd-Jul-2004 11:08 pm - challenges are fun... good excercise
Another Challenge answered. This one from [info]raphe1. Those of you wondering, I'm still accepting them. I'm stuck as far as longer stories go, but that's why I issued the challenge request. I'm trying to jumpstart my mojo.

Fandom: Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Title: Chains of Love
Rated: R, unfortunately just for language
Length: 353 words
Notes: The words spoken in Spanish being in between //backslashes// once again stolen from the wonderful [info]guede_mazaka because it's a wonderful method.

could we take these off now, sugarpie? )

20th-Jul-2004 06:57 pm - outim ficlet: curfew
Title: Curfew, 1/1
Rated: R, language
Genre: Sands Humor, which means sick and sadistic
Notes: I was going back to the beginning of this club and working my way through everyone's fic since it's inception, and got inspired by [info]circe_tigana's fics, specifically Fork and Mishap... So, I wrote a fic that's set in her 'universe.' This is posted with her permission.

My Dad thinks you're crazy... )

20th-Jul-2004 01:57 am - random weird crossover-ness
Inspired by [info]elfing's Ichabod Crane vs. Jack Sparrow cross over, and seeing as how I've been writing Once Upon a Time in Mexico fic, I decided to try my hand at a weirdo time travel warped screwed up Agent Sands vs Jack Sparrow cross over. I mean it, dudes, it's screwey. LOL. Hopefully in a funny way though.

Title: La-La Land
Crossover: Once Upon a Time in Mexico, PotC
Characters: Sands, Jack, and Will
Rated: R, cause Sands can't not curse in my head
Synopsis: Inexplicably, Sands and Jack meet in this little weirdo 'moment in time' piece. It's short, and silly, and pure fluff, but I had to do it.

“CIA,” Jack asked, his frown deepening again. “Is that Spanish?” )

I'm still working on the second part to my epic, The Man with No Eyes. Almost done... But I got the itchy fingers for this little missing scene that popped into my head for the movie. I'm sure it's not the first time this scene has been written, but I don't think I've found it just yet... I'm new and haven't had the chance to work my way completely through this archive. Anyway, perhaps it's not something you'll mind reading again from a different author? LOL.

X-posted to [info]agentsands

Title: Still Standing
Rated: R, because how can Sands not be R?
Notes: I have to confess that I got the idea to put those words spoken in Spanish directly from [info]guede_mazaka. Hopefully she doesn't mind. Sincerest form of flattery and all that.
Length: 545 words. Short... told you.

gosh, El, you’re so perceptive... )

And Kelly, after having read several of [info]guede_mazaka's fics, decided her fingers were itching to write a vignette about him. A stream of conscious vignette, because she wanted to see if she could get inside of his head.

She sucks, because no one's better than [info]guede_mazaka but... she tried by God.

Title: The Last Thing I Do
Rated: Hard R, because this is Sands we're talking through here
Synopsis: Stream of conscious as Sands stands waiting for those to gorilla's to come out of that building at the end.
Notes: Any derogatory comments are coming through Sands because Sands was developed to be that kind of man, no harmful intent meant.
It’s not going to end like this. Not like this. I don’t end like this. )

8th-Sep-2003 11:54 pm - Mentality: homebase & index
This will serve as my homebase, or index, for Mentality. As I add new parts, they will be linked to from here. This is where I will link to for the 'archive' of the story. That makes it simpler than making subfolders, or trying to label things in memories, or whatever. For me it does anyway.


[ Mentality ] or, Exploring Agent Sands through Therapy
updated as of 09.09.04

Characters: Sands, Dr. MacNamara (original character)
Rated: R, because Sands is a curser
Genre: Humorful Angsty Drama
Part 1
Part 2


[ Excerpt ]
from part 1

"Alright," he said, his voice sounding more like a sigh than anything else. “Why don’t we delve right into it?”

“Delve away,” Sand said. “I’m an open book. I’ll warn you though, might wanna read the last page first, cause it’s a doozy.”

“Uh huh,” he said as the pen scratched on the paper again. “How did you lose your sight?”

“Eyes, Doc,” Sand said, pointing up a finger. “Lost my eyes, not my sight.”

“Eyes, then,” the man clarified.

“Some dame got a wee bit angry with me,” Sands said with a laugh and a shrug. “Decided I spent too much time with other things in my line of vision. Reckoned she’d fix that.”

8th-Sep-2003 11:35 pm - The Man with No Eyes
This will serve as my homebase, or index, for The Man With No Eyes. As I add new parts, they will be linked to from here. This is where I will link to for the 'archive' of the story. That makes it simpler than making subfolders, or trying to label things in memories, or whatever. For me it does anyway.


[ The Man With No Eyes ]
updated as of 09.09.04

Characters: Sands, Ramirez, others
Rated: R, because it's Sands, people
Genre: Humorful Angsty Drama
Prologue & Part 1: I Shot a Man in Reno
Part 2: Lady Came From Baltimore
Interlude & Part 3: Breaking Bread


[ Excerpt ]
from part 1
Banks laughed, standing and rifling through the overhead compartment. Sitting back down he opened two cellophane packages. “Two days from now you’re back on your beat… you sure this is what you want?”

“Want,” Sands asked, turning his head towards Banks and grinning lopsidedly. “Don’t know about want, but it’s what I know. It’s what I do, and it’s what no one does better than me.”

“Get some sleep, Jeff,” the older man said, throwing a blue blanket over Sands’ legs. “Need your wits about you.”

“A fucking partner,” Sands muttered, pulling the blanket up to his chin. “Send a blind man into Mexico with nothing but a fuckin’ spy for the man in charge that no one trusts; if I didn’t know you better I’d say you were sending me in for my death sentence.”

“Good thing you do then,” Banks said, pulling his own blanket up over his knees and folding it over his lap.

[ Additional Notes ] The chronology of this story is sort of see-saw. It starts in Oct. 2004 as 'present day'. Then it goes back to the months after Sands lost his eyes to follow his journey to how he got to present day. Basicaly, every two chapters there will be an Interlude set in present day. Otherwise, it's pretty straight forward through the timeline. If you get confused, don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

Here is how it sofar has gone, as far as dates:
Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Nov. 2003.

Interlude: October 2004
Part 1: November 2003 – "I Shot a Man In Reno"
Part 2: December 2003- "Lady Came from Baltimore"
Interlude: October 2004
Part 3: January 2004 – "Breaking Bread"
