~10 (give or take) blorbos, fandoms, tags 1. Stella from Winx Club

2. Harley Quinn from DC

3. Barbie not so much from the Margot Robbie movie as much as from the animated movies, magazines, books I had as a kid as well as Life in The Dreamhouse.

3. Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

4. Lan Wangji from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

5. Wind Master Shi Qingxuan from Heaven Official's Blessing

6. Bloom from Winx Club

7. Mokuba Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!

8. Elizabeth Midford from Kuroshitsuji

9. Sherlock Holmes (various iterations)

10. Snufkin from The Moomins

11. Xie Lian from Heaven Official's Blessing

It said give or take, okay? So 11 is fine... This was literally so hard. You have no idea. If you wanted me to list 10 shows or fandoms, it would be easy, but characters? It's so much harder. Who do I pick? Who do I leave out? I tried to think of characters who are near and dear to my heart. Who either have deeply influenced me my whole entire life or played a big part in it or whom I just love deeply and wholly. It was so hard to pick Yu-Gi-Oh! characters and Winx Club characters especially. I also deeply and seriously considered adding Carrie Bradshaw into the list and I could not leave Xie Lian out so he is 11.

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

By your hand:

Jack notices him first – goes tense and looks round suddenly, and when Cas follows his gaze it’s just to confirm what he already knows. Dean’s found them.

The last drop (makes the cup run over):

It’s too much too much too much. When he’d still been on Earth, he had been able to feel it all already, just not as intensely yet.

So precious to burn:

The first thing he registers, when he finds out, is feeling a sudden echo of that old acidic burning sensation in his vessel’s chest, which he thought he’d forgotten.

Paved with good intentions:

He could still feel the tears on his face as the black ooze parted and deposited him on the floor of the Empty.

Meant to exist together:

She wished that the memory of Faith lying unconscious in her hospital bed wasn’t the first place her mind went when she heard she’d woken up.

Helping:

Faith had been back just over an hour when she heard the tentative knock at the door.

@wellamarke I yote the shark!

Wait are we all ignoring that you apparently threw a shark once? Please tell us more!

My family likes to vacation in Topsail, North Carolina, which is a little barrier island mostly covered in vacation homes. We rent a huge house in their off season, when most people consider it too cold to be at the beach, and we, with our icewater blood, consider it quite pleasantly deserted.

I love going for walks at night, especially when there’s a clear sky, so I, age sixteen, would go a few miles up the beach around midnight most nights. One night, while still about a mile from our house, I saw something rolling in the surf. 

“That’s either a plastic bag caught on a log,” I thought, “Or a four foot shark.��

I jogged over. It was not a plastic bag caught on a log. 

The shark was moving and didn’t appear to be hurt, but was caught in water only an inch or so deep, being pushed higher with every wave. I was by myself, and didn’t own a cell phone, and couldn’t see a house with lights on in either direction. There was nobody around. Leaving to go get help would probably take long enough for him to suffocate. The best thing I could do for this shark, I figured, would be to get him back in the ocean. 

I have no idea how he wound up so high on the beach, because it was a very shallow slope. I’d have to carry him a good fifteen or so feet to get him into water deep enough to swim. It was nearly a full moon, so I could sort of see what I was doing. I got a grip on the shark, careful not to squeeze too hard, in case he was hurt, and picked him up. He didn’t like that at all. 

I started walking into the water. Here’s a thing I didn’t know about sharks: They’re pretty damn flexible. I got a couple steps with this shark, looked down, and realized there were a hell of a lot of teeth coming directly at my forearm. 

It occurred to me that I had not thought this through very well.

I’m not proud of what I did. It seemed like the best way to get this shark back in deep enough water and avoid dropping thirty pounds of very bitey animal directly on my own toes. So.

I yote the shark with as much force as I could muster. 

He curved through the air like a thing of beauty, all angry and toothsome in the moonlight, and splashed wonderfully into the deeper waters. I caught a glimpse of fin diving away shortly after. 

And that’s the last I saw of him.

was tagged by @wellamarke​ thank you for tagging me this was pretty fun to create!

As you can tell I have an obsession with the colour blue.

Haven’t got anyone to tag, if you feel like joining in you can create a picture of yourself here

[fractionallyfoxtrot]

@wellamarke tagged me to name some favorite things I made! Thank you for thinking of me. :)

rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world. tag as many writers/artists/etc as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

I'm going to define the past year as May 2019 to May 2020. I took a break from fandom and creating for a while and only really came back in late 2019 so to pick five works I'm going to have to pull from all the fandoms I'm currently writing for. (All three of them. :D)

In no particular order, here are five of my favorite works from the past year:

1. Disruption (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) - Cabin Pressure

This is a fun Mallory/Cat story set in a baseball AU in which Cat and Mallory play on the same baseball team, managed by Carolyn. I'm still hoping to write more of this because I have more outlined in my head but these were really fun to write.

2. Final Boarding Call - Cabin Pressure

This is a Charlie/Miles drabble that I wrote during the Five Years of Zurich event. (Five years!) I really like how the drabble turned out and I'm so glad that I started writing Cabin Pressure things again for the event.

3. The Smell of Fear (on LiveJournal) - Merlin

Switching fandoms, this is a Gwaine/Leon Hogwarts AU that I wrote for the Camelot Drabble community on LiveJournal. This prompt was in October so I decided to go a little darker than usual and I'm really happy with the result.

4. Death Will Set You Free (on AO3) - Merlin

This is another Gwaine/Leon story written for the Camelot Drabble community. (This community's weekly prompts have been a very helpful writing routine.) This is set in the canon era and, coincidentally, also a bit dire. I write happy Merlin fic too, I promise.

5. We'll Start a War Worth Fighting For (on AO3) - Daiya no Ace | Ace of Diamond

New fandom! Daiya no Ace is an anime about a high school baseball team which I've recently fallen for, and fallen hard. The first thing I wrote for this fandom is this Tetsu/Jun science fiction battle mecha AU. It sounds weird but I loved writing it and I really hope I'm able to write more.

I'll tag @tracionn, @sircarolyn, and @lunanimal, but only if you'd like to, of course. :)

P.S.

Shameless self-promotion: If you also happen to be into Merlin or Daiya, I keep separate blogs for those fandoms, because I still do that for some reason.

Merlin: @fractionallycamelot

Daiya no Ace: @fractionallystruckout

Take care!

WIP word - over

A preposition? Again? 😂😂 Still from my hot-tub wip, I couldn’t decide between two sentences so here they are:

“He looked at her, dark and burning gaze under heavy lashes, and she shook her head, mesmerized, unable to even speak, her tongue seeming to have developed its own conscience and wandering over her bottom lip, out of her control”

and also:

“Let Annie make her decisions and regret them over the next morning, when her head would ache and her stomach wouldn't handle anything solid.”

Mattie: When Leo leaves I'm going to turn myself in.

Toby: Why?

Mattie: He's like 85% of my impulse control.

And now, part 2 @wellamarke !

Arthur could feel his desperation to see Merlin growing as the day went on.

He'd never see Merlin's ridiculous grin again, never have Merlin tell him off or call him a clotpole, and he was sure he'd never find another servant as endearingly incompetent.

"Can I see him?" Arthur asked, swallowing thickly around the lump forming in his throat.

"He was asking to see you, but I told him you were resting. I wanted to know if you wanted to see him first." "I do, but I wish he didn't have to see me like this," Merlin said. (Another multiple-fer in one back and forth bit of dialogue)

"Would you like to see Arthur now?"

"But he can't see the child."

He could see dark circles under his eyes, and he looked as if he had lost weight since Merlin had last seen him.

"You'll see."

"I could see it from the beginning."

"It's good to see you both happy."

"It pains me to see you like this, but progress is progress no matter how slow."

"Let me see him."

"Let me see to him."

"I would not see them die."

She knelt beside Merlin's head, and lowered the child for him to see.

"I need to see him."

"I'll see you later."

There, he stripped out of his ceremonial robe and crown, leaving them on his table for George to see to.

"I need to see him." (Again.)

"But I had little hope that I would actually see that day."

"Let's see if we can't change that."

"You can examine his appearance more closely and see the resemblance to both Merlin and myself."

"I'm right, you'll see."

Arthur draped his cloak over both of them, pulling back to see a much happier look on Merlin's face now.

"I want people to see what I see when I look at you. I want them to see you as you truly are: the powerful sorcerer, not the sniveling servant." (Another 3-fer! And bonus: Merlin's retort - "I never snivelled," Merlin objected.)

"It makes me happy to see you so happy," Arthur said.

"Well, it makes me happy to see the two of you together like that."

Merlin looked up then to see Arthur beaming at him.

"No, I didn't, but I see how wrong it was now."

Why had it taken him so long to see it?

"I don't know what you see in me," Merlin said quietly.

"I wish you could see yourself as others see you."

"I think it's good for the people to see others pay respect to you."

"You'll see." (Again.)

"If you stand with me, you won't be able to see Father and Papa very well."

"I go see Papa now?"

"I see Favver?"

"Yeah, well I don't exactly see many people complaining."

"They want to see you make it official."

And there you have it, all the "see"s in HoA Destinies as it stands right now! It might be fun to "see" if you can piece together the plot from these snippets.

WIP word - see

Thank you, sweetie! A warning - this WIP is just about 50k and merthur mpreg, so you've been warned. Some spoilers may like ahead.

It's in there a bunch, let's "see":

Merlin turned away before Arthur could see just how much that had hurt him.

He did and didn't want to see Arthur again before he left.

Merlin turned away so Gwaine wouldn't see the tears that were threatening to fall, but he nodded in acknowledgement of his words.

Merlin almost didn't want to look into them now, not for fear that they would show him something he didn't want to see, but that they would show him nothing at all.

Around the corner came the very last person Merlin wanted to see: Morgana.

He searched the crystals, frantic to find Arthur, to see that he was all right, that he was still safe.

"Will I see you again?"

"You see me when you need me, Merlin."

"I'll always be with you, my son, even if you don't see me in this world."

"Help me with my armor, and then go see what Gaius needs, please."

"Want to sssee you, want to feel you."

He was diverted from thoughts of Merlin when he entered the Council chambers later that day to see Mithian standing by the Round Table.

"I'm surprised to see you here, Princess."

"I'll have George see to me today."

"I'm headed to see Gaius now."

Arthur was pleased to see him when he woke him sometime later.

Well, he hoped he would be there to see it.

Merlin stopped dead in his tracks, his hand going to his middle, waiting to see if it happened again.

To anyone who looked at him, they would see the same skinny Merlin he was known to be.

"While we may not be able to see or feel much of a difference from the outside, we may be able to hear it."

As Merlin entered the fourth month of his pregnancy, he took to examining himself in Arthur's mirror before he woke him each day, trying to see himself from an outsider's perspective.

"I want to see the difference."

"We should wait and see."

"That is what all these great kings and queens see in you. They see a leader worthy to take on the responsibilities of an empire. They see the man behind the king. They see someone they know they can trust. They see the real you." (A 5-fer in that one bit of dialogue!)

He looked up to see Arthur looking at him, concerned.

"I'm upset that I can't stay in Camelot to see it through to the end, but you know the law."

"I needed to see you, Mother," Merlin began.

"Fine, we won't talk about it, but I really think you need to take a closer look at why you're here now, and see if maybe there's more reasons you felt like you had to leave Camelot than just the ones you've told your mother and me."

He would carry on, for Merlin, even if Merlin wasn't here to see it.

Huniths could see how hard it was on Merlin to think about after, so she tried to focus on the here and now and the soon to come in their conversations.

"See if it helps?"

"I need to see how much you've opened."

"I can see the child when you push."

"You want to see him again."

At least then Merlin would be able to see the child regularly, watch, even if only from a distance, as it grew up.

Merlin turned his head away, not even wanting to see the child lest he become attached.

"If I see him, if I hold him, I'll want him."

He missed his friend and he worried about him, and he needed to see him and make sure he was all right.

"I think she was going to see if she could find a wetnurse for him."

There will be a part 2. I have to go to a socially distanced music rehearsal.
