It's Like Jazz

Besides the threads posted here, glossing and I have written a lot of stories, ficlets, and drabbles set in the Jazzverse. And I decided to make a handy little list of them for anybody who's interested. I've divided them into three categories: definitely canonical within the Jazzverse, maybe canonical, and definitely not canonical. Within each category, fics are listed from earliest to latest in the Jazzverse chronology.

This list will be updated as we write more.

( Bulwer-Lytton utilized black formalwear 'as a romantic gesture to show that he was a 'blighted being' and very, very melancholy' )

( A drunk's only trying / To get free of his body )

( Tie me to you, I'll never stray )

( travelling, not running/I don't like it here )

( And you gave me something that I won't forget too soon/But I can't believe you'd ever care )

( How can it make that difference / If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring )

( running, jumping, stretching, and sometimes frolicking )

When Oz takes a right out of the Magic Box's alley, instead of the usual left, Giles looks surprised. Oz bites his lip and keeps his eye on the road, weaving up Main Street, then cutting across Calendula, and Giles' brows are lifting and he's about to open his mouth and ask where they're going as Oz slows to nab a parking space.

They've been back a week now, and Giles didn't mention Oz calling his mom until they were back from the beach the second day. Oz nodded then and picked at his peeling sunburn; he didn't want to think about it. And he knew Giles was torn, all worried-faced and hesitant-voiced, but that he couldn't exactly help himself from bringing it up, either. She is your mother. Surely she'd like to see you.

Giles isn't wrong; it's more that Oz isn't sure what to say. Not that that's anything new, though, he finally realized.

Which is why the increasingly stinky rental car is parked across from his mom's house and Oz is getting out.

"Doing what's right," he tells Giles across the hood of the car. "You okay with this?"

( The difference between despair/And fear, is like the one/Between the instant of a wreck,/And when the wreck has been. )

( Have the remembrance of past joys, for relief/Of coming ills )

( Arise, arise / From death, you numberless infinities / Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go. )

( made upon men and matter: as they have flow’d out of his daily Readings; or had their refluxe to his peculiar Notion of the Times )

from here
( Why pamper life's complexities/When the leather runs smooth )

( there are three forks at each place setting )

It's Like Jazz has its very own feedback community now. Please feel free to go here and leave comments. We'd love to hear what you think.

( Stars to smile with us/Until they too had tears in their eyes )

( lay your sleeping head, my love / human on my faithless arm )

( Animals are so abundant in these countries, that humanity and self-interest are not closely united. )

For those of you following along at home (and there are some of you out there, yes?), a few points before we start up again tomorrow night.

1. Earlier reunion ficlets posted in our personal LJs are extra-canonical; that is, they're versions of how Giles and Oz might have reunited in London, but they're nowhere near gospel.
2. The thread that got this all underway - affectionately known as that tub thread - is closer to gospel, but we're fiddling slightly with the timing of it and the location of Giles's flat. It occurs sometime in late November and Giles lives in London, not Bath.
