Nocturne of the Brooklyn Bridge
China Mountain Zhang, all audiences, 6000 words.
I am Teresa Luis but also Comrade Li Taiming, because my great-great grandfather Rafael José Luis y Iglesias was born in the old United States, became a founding member of the Reformed American Communist Party and died defending the Brooklyn Bridge at the start of the Second Civil War.

Posted on AO3 so it can be with the only other two China Mountain Zhang fan works in known existence. For [livejournal.com profile] moireach on the impending occasion of her nuptials. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] paintedmaypole for beta action & also to [livejournal.com profile] annakovsky, because we're always in the same place when we're from the internet.

On Tuesday I saw The Avengers with [livejournal.com profile] smartlikejustin and [livejournal.com profile] imogenics and when we were getting tipsy on frozen sangria (wine slurpees!) I said: "So, I did something today I haven't done in a really long time." And they indulgently asked me what I did, even though they probably thought I was just going to tell some boring story about my job. But the answer was that I finished and posted a story for a purpose other than Yuletide. How long has it been since I finished and posted a story for a purpose other than Yuletide? APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS. The occasion of M's marriage? Pretty much a big deal.

The sad thing is that I still write all the time. Ostensibly I write for a living, or at least part of my living. But it's all grant writing, which creates monetary benefit and promotes social justice, but it's not as much fun as making up stories about Justin Timberlake. Adulthood, I guess? I'm dubious.
