Cabin Pressure fic: "The Pink Pound" - completed!

2025-08-28T20:09:21Z

My fic is now completed!

I've had so much fun writing this epic rollercoaster of a story.

I wanted to tell a story about queerness, what it means to be queer in a world that feels like it isn’t meant for you, and what happens when you do find your people and your family – even (or maybe especially) when they were there all along.

About what it’s like when you allow yourself to exist openly, as vulnerable and scary as that might be. And then the happiness of it, the sheer daring thrill of coming out and being who you are!

It’s a very Cabin Pressure sort of thing, actually.

So if you are a fan of found family, if you want to see a happy ending completely different from Zurich, if you want to talk about queerness within Cabin Pressure... Come and have a read. <3

Title: The Pink Pound
Pairing: Martin Crieff/Douglas Richardson
Tags: Crack Treated Seriously, Angst, Coming Out, Same-Sex Marriage, Faking/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Pilots, Flying, Money, Friendship/Love, Drag Queens, Makeup, Past Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Singing, Accidental Drug Use, Marriage Proposal, Wedding Rings, Gay Bar, Self-Discovery, Travel, Sharing a Bed, Late Night Conversations, Sexuality, Sauna, Laughter During Sex, Gay Sex, Endearments, Sleeping Together, Queer Culture, LGBTQ Themes, Found Family
Summary: As same-sex marriage is about to become legal, Carolyn takes up the idea to profit from it all and rebrands MJN Air as an LGBTQ airline - inspiring various queer shenanigans and a wedding scheme as only Douglas could imagine. Plus a fair bit of coming out, because well, wanting to pretend to be gay is nothing like the real thing right, or is it?

On writing

2025-07-02T09:30:31Z

I want to start posting here more often again! So a meme on writing - feel free to steal it if you want to do it too!

🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?

I was one of those kids who had a feral childhood back in the nineties. My mother would work evenings and I'd be left alone to watch TV and put myself to bed, so I remember watching The X-Files from the time that I was like, 8? So once we got our first computer I looked it up, found fanfiction, and read it vicariously. After that came Lord of the Rings, which was the first fandom I wrote in.

The end of Ampersand <3

2017-07-29T16:55:19Z

I finished my HUGE fic Ampersand today.

It's been over a year of posting, and two years of thinking about the plot, the characters, and what I wanted it to say. Right now it has over 3400 comments and almost 1500 kudos. Which is INSANE - at least to me! I know that there are writers out there who expect something like that for every fic they write but I am very much not one of them, and I've been blown away by the reactions to this fic.

It has been wonderful to write, too, and I'm going to miss this story and the characters in it so deeply. Goodbye Ampersand, you were a friend through tough times, and I have learned so much from you! <3

Sherlock fic: "Ampersand" 127/127 -completed!-

2017-07-29T13:47:56Z

Title: Ampersand
Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes & Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes/John Watson, Mycroft Holmes & Sherlock Holmes & John Watson
Tags: Alpha Sherlock, Angst, Asexual Relationship, Asexual Sherlock, Babies, Beta John, Blow Jobs, Bonding, Developing Relationship, Domestic, Family Feels, Friendship, Hand Jobs, Hurt/Comfort, Kissing, Life Partners, Non-Sexual Intimacy, Masturbation, Mpreg, No Incest, Omega Mycroft, Omega Verse, Parenthood, Pining, Platonic Bonding, Polyamory, Pre-Poly, Pregnancy, Requited Love, Sex, Sexual Frustration, Slow Burn, Unconventional Families
Summary: John isn’t all that interested when he finds out that Mycroft is pregnant. Mary just left, things with Sherlock are difficult, and nothing is the same, most of all not John himself. But then there is a bond needed, a baby born, and it was never meant to happen like this, but somehow... Family, love, sex, and making it work - the complicated way. Post season three Omega Verse AU!

Cabin Pressure fic: "I Dreamt That I Grew Wings" 13/13 -completed!-

2017-07-22T12:20:49Z

Title: I Dreamt That I Grew Wings
Pairings: Martin Crieff & Douglas Richardson & Arthur Shappey, Martin Crieff/Douglas Richardson/Arthur Shappey, Martin Crieff /Arthur Shappey, Martin Crieff/Douglas Richardson, Douglas Richardson/Arthur Shappey
Tags: Alternate Universe - Prison, Angst, Beginnings, Blow Jobs, Consent, Crimes & Criminals, Friendship, Hand Jobs, Hurt/Comfort, Literal Sleeping Together, Love, Masturbation, Mutual Masturbation, Non-Graphic Rape/Non-con, Prison, Prison Sex, Protectiveness, Talking, Threesome, Trauma, Sharing A Room, Angst With A Happy Ending
Summary: Arthur accidentally killed a man, Douglas did a spot of smuggling, and Martin only ever wanted to fly. Of course, sharing a prison cell is not all that different from being stuck on an aeroplane together... except that it kind of is.
Notes: WARNINGS: A scene involving off-screen non-con. Setting-related verbal/physical/sexual harassment and background violence throughout.
Disclaimer: I know very little about the UK penitentiary system or prisons in general, so I’m sure that the details of prison life in this story will be highly inaccurate.
Written for Jie_Jie, happy birthday!
