Spooky tales (or spooked by tales?)

selenakA neat thing about Halloween: it compels people to write fanfiction in some of my fandoms. :)
Agent Carter:
All Hallows: lovely, charming tale about Peggy and friends at a Halloween party. Just ideal when you need something ic to cheer yourself up.
Black Sails:
Unfinished Business: actual ghost story featuring, well, I don't want to spoil any watchers who haven't yet seen season 3, so: Jack, Anne and Charles Vane. I loved this story for various reasons: the different ways Jack and Anne grieve are so them, as are the ways they relate to each other and to the late (and now ghostly) Vane. But also for the unexpected bonus that this story manages not to bash Eleanor Guthrie, and her short appearance in it is perfectly ic for her, too.
Meanwhile, state of the Yuletide: wrote a treat, though not the one I'd been expecting to write. What can I say? Inspiration struck. And then I wrote a first draft of my actual assignment and sent it off to my beta, which means I'm now in the "omg, are the characters oc? Did I indulge my pet interpretations too much? Will the recipient hate it?" stage. And while worn out by the official assignment draft, I'm wondering whether or not I will manage the treat-I-planned-on-writing, despite rl crowding in on me in November and December (which is why I wrote the other ones so early).
