Well due, probably, to some combination of (a) sheer, life-and-house-related exhaustion, (b) being 80% done with it (always a tough place to be in a long-ish project), and (c) the story in question being a madcap comedy, which is a genre that often gets less enchanting as it nears resolution, I have kind of ground to a motivational halt on my MHHE fic. I only have two and a half scenes left to write of what for the first 20,000 words was easily the fastest/easiest story I've ever put out. Yet somehow, now, whenever I try to bend my brain to the task of composition, it comes up instead with a plethora of writing-related distractions that it would be DELIGHTED to be working on instead. So... my thought was, that since I have a fair amount of time before a complete draft is due to my artist, I could bribe myself: one quick, instant-gratification one-shot for every newly-completed MHHE scene.
(Yes, I also see many possible downsides of this plan, starting with that thing that tends to happen when I try to write "quick, instant-gratification one-shots." Idk what to tell you, man. Desperate, exhausted times.)
Anyway, as a place to corral the current, proliferating list of potential "treat" stories, and a motivation for myself tomorrow morning, here's the current list of smallish projects clamoring for attention:

- Black Widow/616: Natasha/Yelena truth serum train sex story
- MCU: Tony/Pepper ~missionary position~ story (with about a 5% possibility this would be Zoe/John from Person of Interest instead—thanks to everyone for your A+++ suggestions on this one)
- Leverage: Tara/Sophie/Parker threesome con story, recently and delightfully seeded in my brain by

starshipfox - The Magicians: Opening scene of Margo/Fen anticolonialism language death story (this story as a whole is too substantial to be a quick palate-cleanser, but the opening scene would be fun to write on its own)
- Killing Eve: Villanelle/various 5+1
- Black Sails: Max & Jack metamours story
Let's see... what happens... *JAZZ HANDS*
