Title:  Always On Her Mind
Author: DiNovia
Fandom: Charlie's Angels (classic)
Pairing: Kris/Kelly
Rating:  NC17
Archival:  P&P of course.  Everyone else, please ask.
Spoilers:  For episode 3.10, called "Angel on My Mind".  Although I'm not sure it can be called a spoiler if the original episode aired 11/22/1978.  Which was six days before my ninth birthday.  God help me.  I even remember exactly where I was when I saw this episode that day.  We lived in a boarding house.  It was loud in the living room where the TV was because everyone else was playing UNO.  I got in trouble for shushing people so I could hear the TV.  LOL
Summary:  Kris Munroe, private detective, witnesses a crime behind the restaurant she's leaving and is hit by a car driven by the perpetrator.  She is briefly knocked unconscious and when she comes to, she doesn't remember anything--not even her own name.  When she regains those memories after a harrowing day and night of trying to stay one step ahead of a man who is trying to kill her for reasons she can't begin to understand, Kris finds that she remembers more than she wanted to about her feelings for a certain brunette.  The close calls that she's suffered compel her to Kelly Garrett's front door.  Will she find the solace that she seeks?
Content Disclaimer:  Depictions of love between consenting adult women are almost certainly to be found in this story.  You've been fairly warned.  Also, angsty but ends well.  ;)
Source Disclaimer:  I do not own Charlie's Angels or the characters therein depicted.  I do not seek to profit from this story. 
A/N:  It has been an awfully long time since I've seen this show.  Please keep that in mind.
Thank You:  To angelonmymind, who provided the userpic that I'm using for this particular story (it happens to be from the episode "Angel on My Mind") and who wrote the first Kris/Kelly fanfiction I ever read.  She resurrected a part of my childhood that I thought buried for good and for that, I will always be grateful. 

( Wow, I didn't think I'd ever finish this one.... )

Hope you enjoyed it!

Twoodles!

Title: Hide Beside Me (Chapter 31)
Author: DiNovia
Fandom: Guiding Light
Pairing: Olivia/Natalia
Rating:  Chapter=PG-13/Overall=NC-17
Archival:  P&P, Kimly, and AUSXIP of course.  Everyone else, please ask.
Spoilers:  None
Summary:  Phillip Spaulding has returned to Springfield with a vengeance.  Olivia Spencer, afraid that Phillip will take their daughter Emma from her again, flees Springfield with the help of her assistant, Natalia Rivera.  Can they stay one step ahead of Phillip?  Will they ever be safe again?
Content Disclaimer:  This is an AU story--based on a drabble I posted in February--that splits off from the "I can trust you with my life!" scene on 2/16/09.  All canon after that does not exist in this story.  Also, the Phillip Spaulding that returns in this story is still bat-shit crazy and evil. Graphic depictions of love between two consenting adult women are contained within, obviously, but not in this chapter since I have split the girls up.  Yes, I am evil.  Thanks for noticing.  ;)
Source Disclaimer:  I do not own Guiding Light or the characters therein depicted.  I do not seek to profit from this story. 
A/N:  I tried to remain as close to character as humanly possible but as I have only seen YouTube clips of Otalia and no full episodes, I cannot guarantee the results.
Style Note:  As some of you have noticed, I am switching POVs for every chapter.  Natalia, Olivia and Emma will tell their stories in their own words, first-person present tense.  Any other exposition needed will happen in third-person past-tense.  This will cover the urgency I need and will also allow for omniscience for exposition with multiple characters.  I am very interested in knowing whether this style works how I have intended it, so let me know.
Thank You:  To mightbefound  and bldy_destini and fewthistle for beta-ing this story.  Thank you also to Tiff for helping me to figure out the major plot problems I'd been having and for being on call when I forget them and need to review.  ;)  Thank you to djshiva for your comments and general enthusiasm for this story.

A/N*:  I should have mentioned this before.  I know that this is not canon, but I have chosen to place Springfield in Ohio, mostly to make my research life that much easier.  Yes, I am obsessive about my research, which is why Natalia was able to make it to Overland Park, KS in one night to be present for it's sunrise at 6:54am (7:54am Springfield time) on 2/23 (roughly when chapter 2 took place).  No, really.  I looked all that up.  And more.  I'm that much of a fact geek.  Sad, but true.

A/N:  Fewthistle told me this little plot bunny she'd been having.  We then spent an hour laughing and coming up with the rest of this story.  This is all Fewthistle, especially the best, best lines.  I am just her overqualified typist.  And very, very lucky to be that.  Oh.  And yes, I'm watching the show again.  The bastards got me back. 
Thank You:  To fewthistle for telling me about this plot bunny, for giving me all the best lines, for trusting Tanked Muse and I to write it and, finally, for beta-ing this story.  You are seriously the bestest friend a woman could ask for.  Love you to pieces!

Thank you, Fewthistle!  This was an absolute blast to write!

Title:  Coming Undone
Author: DiNovia
Fandom: Guiding Light
Pairing: Olivia/Natalia
Rating:  NC-17 for language and sexual activities between two consenting adult women.
Archival:  P&P, Kimly, and AUSXIP of course.  Everyone else, please ask.
Spoilers:  None
Summary:  It's amazing what one good pair of jeans can inspire.  Olivia's POV.
Content Disclaimer:  This piece was requested specifically and the parameters I was given were "DOOR SEX DOOR SEX DOOR SEX."  So...here's the door sex!
Source Disclaimer:  I do not own Guiding Light or the characters therein depicted.  I do not seek to profit from this story. 
A/N:  The Natalia in this story is not a virginal saint.  Instead, she has a spine, a sexuality, a passing acquaintance with profanity, and is hopefully more like the Natalia we remember.
Thank you: to malapropses, who did this brilliant Otalia fanvid from which I took the cut text.
Dedication: to Jules and Xan.  Two of the best friends an aging Otalian suffering from flirtation issues could possibly have.  I <3 you both.  ;)  Also, to fewthistle, who approved the title, beta-ed this, and who is generally a dear friend who buys me things like purses and lesbian porn.  I hope the Olivia who lives in her head likes this one!
Additional note:  A late and completely unexpected addition to ralst's International Day of Femslash celebration, 7/18/09.  Sorry, Captain!  I had no idea I'd have something ready today!

Hello all!  Something a little different for this chapter.

I've been asked, as a moderator of Burning City, to post chapter 26 of Hide Beside Me there exclusively (just one chapter!) to promote our (fewthistle, flying_peanuts, and me) new Otalia fanfiction community.

So please follow the link below to read the next installment of Hide Beside Me.  And if you feel so inclined, please join the community.  Read the user info for information about the premise and sign on up!

You really want to. Really. I promise. ;)

I will go back to posting the chapters regularly with chapter 27.

Until then, enjoy!

DiNovia

Hello from DiNovia and Fewthistle!

Many of you know either or both of us, through reputation or actual contact, and so we do hope that you will forgive the intrusion and grace us with a moment of your time to consider a proposition (for those of you familiar with DiNovia, not that kind of proposition ;) Given the spoilers and discussion that began several weeks ago about the path that the writers of Guiding Light would take to write in Jessica Leccia’s maternity leave, DiNovia and I began to be concerned that there was the potential for the entire fandom to implode around the whole supposition about the pregnancy storyline and all the repercussions. Those fears seem to have been more than realized in the past week, with the writers choosing the most trite, cliché and hackneyed of plots in order to explain Natalia’s absence. It is, as DiNovia commented, as if they simply got out the “Guide to Crappy Writing and Cheap Plotlines” hat and starting pulling out random slips of paper: thus the uninspired, overused, insulting drivel with which we are now faced in canon.

Given the amazing time and energy, and let’s face it, love, that has been poured into the creation of this love story over the past 18 months, and the immense devotion and affection with which it has been received, it is almost inconceivable that the writers of the show would choose to go down the path upon which they have begun, but there seems little doubt that they have. Because, in the end, it is truly not about whether or not Natalia is pregnant, (although I know all of us would prefer she is NOT), but about the disregard for the character(s) that is being displayed, the suspension of disbelief that seems to be required to watch a woman 9 ½ months pregnant in real life being told she’s a few weeks/month s along, not to mention the time we all seem to have unknowingly lost, and the utter disdain that is being shown to a community that has offered up its heart and soul to this couple and this show. To have reduced this amazing tale of love and redemption to “Two Lesbians and a Penis” by the unnecessary and constant inclusion of Frank in their lives, by relying on a pedestrian, hack plot device in order to explain JL’s absence, is nothing short of criminal.

So, in order to set right that which we perceive to have been made horribly wrong, DiNovia and I are starting a new community, an Otalia 2.0 so to speak, called Burning City (name to be explained, I promise). It will be a site devoted to Otalia in all its glory, with one major exception. All storylines must either predate the debacle (i.e. pre-WoD fics) that then carry on in their own timeline, or they must stop with canon at June 22, 2009, the gazebo scene where Natalia and Olivia decide they are through waiting. No canon after that point (with the exception of other character storylines, i.e. Phillip’s illness or even Olivia’s telling of Phillip) may be used. To be perfectly blunt, no mention of a stupid pregnancy storyline to explain the absence, no Frankenbaby, no trite, worn-out clichés of a plot. Life begins, and ends, on June 22, if that makes sense.

We would like to invite you to join us in this undertaking. We know the love and affection in which Otalia are held and we are determined that this pairing and this storyline continue on long after September has come and gone. We need writers, readers, and artists of all varieties to make this a success. Both of us are extremely excited about starting this community (which will include an archived website with all stories that the authors wish to have included, separate from Live Journal. Should you not wish to participate in LJ but still want your stories included in the archive, that would be wonderful as well.) We will send out an email listing the LJ address and the address of the archive, once both are up and running and we will be making a public announcement on Passion Perfect (thanks Rachel!) about the comm.

We do so hope that you will join us, that you will post the amazing, wonderful fic for which many of you are known and loved, and that this project will help to insure that Olivia and Natalia live on in fanfiction, and in our hearts, for at least as long as Xena and Gabrielle. Thank you so much for your time and for slogging your way through this really long email! ;) What can we say, we’re both a little verbose.

Cheers,

DiNovia and Fewthistle
