WIP Word Train Game

Rules: tagger gives a word, then for each letter of that word you share a sentence/excerpt from your wips that start with that letter.

This one looks very fun! I've been tagged by the amazing @samsalami66 , thank you so my darling ^^

My word was HURT, which feels very fitting since I'm literally unable to not put angst in everything I write x) Okay let's try and find stuff for those letters!

H - From the 14th chapter of Hopes and Expectations

“Here, see? I’m fine,” he emphasised, holding the stone out to him.

            But just as he was about to give the emerald to Morpheus, something in Hob rebelled against it. He was assailed with an overwhelming urge to keep, keep and take, take, to prevent Morpheus from stealing the stone from him at all cost. He felt a bloodlust like he hadn’t known in centuries boil in his guts; how easy it would be to wrap his hands around that pretty throat, how blood would look against that alabaster skin, if he attacked now Morpheus wouldn’t see it coming, and in his weakened state the Endless couldn’t stop him, and he could keep the stone all for himself…

U - From A Dream that you hold in your hands, aka the "Dream gets sealed in a book instead of being fishbowled" fic

Unexpectedly, it was Alex who finally put an end to it. Roderick would have never bet on the usually useless boy for it, but just this once, the Magus was happy to be proven wrong. He could have almost smiled to his son. Almost.

            He definitely smiled though, when he showed the bird’s blown body to his prisoner. Seeing the paper become damp around its face had been absolutely beautiful.

R - From the 14th chapter of Hopes and Expectations

“…Right. Erm… what does it look like?”

            Dream tried to describe his helm, but Hob only grew more confused with each attempt. The Endless ended up drawing it in the notebook.  

           “Oh, okay! I expected something more… exotic? You know, with the dead god’s bones and all."

T - From the first part of my half of @samsalami66 and my Sandmerlin HP crossover

The living corpse heaved and choked and moaned until finally his lungs had spit all their water. After a few deep breaths, Gadlen sat with a groan.

"Are you the one who got me out of the pond, boy?"

Merlin startled. "Yes, I am," he answered with more assurance than he really felt.

"What year is it?" the man asked anxiously.

"What?"

"The year, how long did I spend in there, are we past 1689?"

I have precisely one (1) sentence starting with a U in all of my current WIPs x)

Hey that's honeslty not bad! Spread accross the whole year I didn't realize I had achieved that much! (Though to be honest, half the hits and three quarters of the word count are Hopes and Expectations alone)

Top 3 fic (of all years) by kudos:

Our hopes and expectations (Black holes and revolutions) (WIP - The Sandman - Hob/Dream)

A simple little draugh (BBC Sherlock/Harry Potter - Sherlock/John)

Don't be late (BBC Sherlock/Sherlock Holmes and related fandoms/Good Omens/Doctor Who - Sherlock/John, Aziraphale/Crowley)

This is very funny because my two top fics according to kudos are literally my very last fic (Hopes and expectations) and my very first (A simple little draugh, my own translation from french to english of my first fic)!

Top 3 fics (of all years) by word count:

Our hopes and expectations (Black holes and revolutions) (WIP - The Sandman - Hob/Dream) - 32,093 words

Un simple courant d'air (BBC Sherlock/Harry Potter- Sherlock/John) - 3,895 words

Let's erase the old tales and write our own happy end (The Sandman - Hob/Dream) - 3,721 words

With no surprise, Hopes and Expectations is first by very far; this fic is my biggest project so far and I'm very proud of what I have already done for it, and I can't wait to do more ! (When chapter 13 stops actively fighting me with every word ><')

Also second is the french version of Just a little draugh! It stayed my longest fic for a looooong time (I wrote it in 2020), and it's also my one and only fic in the HP fandom (for now; the Sandmerlin fic will change that eventually, even though I'm not the one writting the Harry Potter part of the crossover)

Top 3 ships of 2024:

1- Dreamling (Hob/Dream)

That's it. I've literally written only about them the whole year XD

Top 5 tags of 2024:

1- Hurt/Comfort (2 works)

2- Panic Attacks (2 works)

3- Hob Gadling Needs a Hug (2 works)

4- Hob Gadling Loves Dream of the Endless | Morpheus (2 works)

5- Angst (1 work)

And here you have the proof that I don't know how to tag properly x)

Since I'm already very late with this one, I'm not going to tag anyone directly, since chances are most people have been tagged already and I'm (as usual) too lazy to check. So I'm just gonna say: if you haven't been tagged and want to play, I'm tagging you!

📖

I'm so very sorry it took me so long to answer, I had forgotten my USB stick when leaving for the holidays... But now I'm back home with time, so here is your snippet ^^

For this fic, I had literally only written the very first sentence, so this is the introduction of what is to become a (probably kinda long) one shot.

John Hathaway was furiously scribbling, noting everything he could despite the lack of light. He had never seen an occult summoning; in fact, he had never believed in magic until his need for hope had overpowered his rational mind. But his newfound faith didn’t stop him from being curious. He was a scholar at heart.             The Magus was reciting a spell as his followers repeated the same sentence, again and again and again. At least their part was easy to write down. John used the pauses between Burgess’ calls and offerings to try and doodle the binding circle painted in the middle of the room in his notebook. It was incomplete, he couldn’t see much of it from his spot next to the young Burgess, but he guessed he could have a full view of it once their guest would be caught inside.             The Magus dropped a pristine white feather in the circle, and suddenly wind blew in the basement. There was a whisper of awe and fear amongst the believers. John looked at the feather with wide eyes as it started flying toward the ceiling, missing a few words from Burgess’ feverish litany. The chanting and calling started again with renewed fervour, and John excitedly sketched the dark form he could see appearing above the glowing golden lines of the binding spell.             Just as Burgess yelled his last line, a violent gust of wind tore John’s notebook out of his hands. The book flew right in the middle of the binding circle, wide open under the creature. The being started whimpering as it was slowly sucked inside the pages, his clothes dissolving in a thin powder around him when it touched the paper. A bird suddenly escaped from the dissolving cloak, flying out of the basement with a panicked caw. With a last cry, the creature disappeared in the book. The wind died down as quickly as it had picked up, and a deafening silence filled the room.             “Whose book is that?” Burgess bellowed, making the crowd around him flinch. The believers hurriedly shifted, opening a way between the irate sorcerer and John. “You!” Burgess seethed, the furry in his eyes causing the professor to shake in terror. “Sykes!”             “Yes, Magus?” a believer answered, bowing respectfully in front of Burgess.             “Take care of him.”             “Right away, Magus.”             Sykes barked an order and John was seized and dragged out of the basement. His pleas and cries fell on deaf ears.             John Hathaway was never seen ever again.

Of COURSE I have to ask for 🪄 my love :))))

Of course you do x) Have some of the Harry Potter/Sandman/Merlin crossover then ^^

(For a bit of context, I'm writing the Sandman/Merlin part of this crossover, @samsalami66 is writing the Harry Potter/Sandman part; my part is mostly Merlin adn Hob becoming immortal besties ^^)

Rob's friendliness and enthusiasm were contagious, and Merlin found himself sharing stories of his own throughout the afternoon and then the evening. Of course, he had to tell the truth through lies; he didn't want Rob to know exactly who he was. But he was so used to it that he barely noticed it. And it was really easy and nice talking to Rob, he was as good at listening as he was at talking. It had been a long time since anyone had seemed genuinely interested in what Merlin had to say. They talked and joked and shared nostalgia, hopes and drinks the whole night, until the innkeeper told them to either take a room or leave because he was closing. Rob paid for two beds, and the immortals went to sleep, supporting each-other as they drunkenly made their way to their room. They awoke the next morning quite hangover. Merlin used a little spell to get rid of his headache, but when he tried to help Rob with his, the spell didn't work. "I had never met anyone immune to magic like you are," the warlock thought aloud. "Well right now I'm not too happy about it," Rob answered, massaging his temples. They took a quick breakfast and left the inn soon after. Rob had a horse he had left at the public stable, and he offered to give a ride to Merlin, which the warlock accepted with gratitude. They kept chatting the whole way to the Lake of Avalon (which was now named Dozmary Pool, its true name lost as druidic knowledge was forgotten). Finally, the two immortals shook hands, and with a promise to come back to visit sometime Rob got back on his horse and took off. As he watched his new friend leaving, the warlock thought that his cabin would seem very lonely now.

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

Pour one out for a real one.
