I'm actually so proud of what I've achieved as a writer this year! I was looking at my writing stats on ao3 the other day and I pretty much doubled my word count from any other previous year. I also started off the year in a completely different fandom from Lone Star, and only started writing fics for LS in June. So posting nine fics in six months actually seems crazy to me. I have some ambitious (for me) plans for 2025 that I am so excited about! But for now...

I'm the life you chose, and all this terrible danger 2x08 coda // T // 2.6K // Summary: TK has head trauma, but checking on Carlos is still his top priority Read if you're in the mood for soft Tarlos communication after Bad Call, and enjoy fluff and hurt/comfort

sometimes I'd rather be dead, at least then I'm with you 3x08 coda // T // 2.6K // Summary: He feels like a coward for being scared of seeing Carlos’s face when he tells him what will surely break his heart. But he won’t keep this from him. “Carlos?” He whispers. Carlos presses a kiss to the nape of his neck and the dip of his shoulder, and TK’s eyelids drop at the contact. “I have to tell you something.” Read if you're in the mood for a bit of hurt/comfort, and TK dealing with his grief while also opening up to Carlos

Read if you like fluffy, smutty beach vacations for married Tarlos

Guilty Pleasures E // 6.8K // Summary: Carlos Reyes has a guilty pleasure...he enjoys reading romance novels. Part of the thrill is getting to find the trashiest books he can find just so he can read the bad euphemisms out loud to his husband.

hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine T // 4.8K // Summary: An exploration of how food has guided TK and Carlos's relationship through the years and how they care for each other through food Read if you enjoy seeing how Tarlos's relationship has evolved around food throughout the years.

[merlinemrys]

Hello there! I saw you giving some recs for Merlin fics and wanted to ask for some too if you don't mind 👉👈

Do you have any recommendations for Merthur gen angst hurt/comfort? Hell I need more angst in my blood stream

of course!!! idk if u mean merthur w a general rating or just gen fic that's focused on arthur & merlin, but just to play it safe im doing gen fic 💙 if u mean merthur fics that are gen rated then just lmk !

scorch marks and embers by southfarthing (rated t, 93k)

Summary: Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless. Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.

New Beginnings by nsowlwrites97 (rated t, 33k)

Summary: Traitor. Merlin. Magic. Merlin. Traitor. Friend. Sorcerer. Merlin. The words seemed to lose their meaning the more Arthur tried to make sense of them, bleeding in and through each other like ink dissolving in water. The only fact he knew to be true – absolutely, permanently, irrevocably true – was that Merlin was dead.

go boldly by CaptainOzone (rated gen, 7k)

Summary: “It is not like you,” Arthur muses suddenly, and very, very quietly, “to lie to me.” Merlin’s lungs freeze in his chest. “What?” he chokes out. Or: yet another 5x05 The Disir AU.

New Duties by s0mmerspr0ssen (rated t, 17k)

Summary: With Uther’s death, Arthur ascends to the throne and officially becomes King of Camelot. Naturally, this means that Merlin is now the King’s manservant, not the Prince’s. What sounds like mere semantics turns out to be much more than that. As Merlin struggles to keep up with the demands of his new job, Arthur finds himself burdened by the realities of kingly responsibilities. Soon, the strain of stress puts their friendship to the test…

Treason by N16 (rated t, 9k)

Summary: Arthur knows four things: Merlin committed treason. Merlin is loyal to him. Merlin wants to tell Arthur the truth. Merlin is scared Arthur will kill him. All he needs to figure out now is what on earth his servant has actually done.

Loyalties by reelin_writer (rated t, 25k)

Summary: “Arthur.” “Merlin?” he said, instantly angry. He shoved himself into a sitting position, fumbling for the candle on the table by the bed, and blustered, “What on earth are you doing? It’s the middle of the night! I don’t know about you, but that’s when I sleep. Don’t you--” Finally managing to get the candle lit, he looked up at Merlin, fully prepared to continue his lecture. But the words died in his throat at the sight of the young servant, and he choked in the rush of panic that assaulted him. “Merlin!”

The Price of Loyalty by Obsessionist (rated t, 18k)

Summary: Uther activates a device that repels magic, but Merlin's loyalty to Arthur knows no bounds.

Loyalty Was Never A Question by ValiantGinger (rated t, 27k)

Summary: Morgana gets her hands on something that puts Merlin in very serious danger. When Arthur's manservant goes missing, he can't help but be worried about him - worry that becomes legitimate when it becomes clear that Merlin is being used as a trap to lure Arthur in. Still, it's Merlin. How can he do anything but go and rescue him?

Between A Rock and A Hard Place by LFB72 (rated t, 30k)

Summary: A visiting noble makes Arthur an offer he can't refuse, putting Merlin's secret in jeopardy. The warlock takes drastic action, risking his health and ability to respond when crisis strikes.

in 5x05 of "the marvelous mrs. maisel" midge is on a boat outside manhattan in international waters, doing stand up for a group of diaper cream reps. after the gig she catches one of them sexually harassing one of the boat staff, so she intervenes and accidentally tosses his jacket, which was sitting on the railing, into the river. the jacket had a wallet in it and the wallet had money in it and on a boat in international water, she technically committed an act of piracy. our flag au where this starts stede's life of crime when?

I just read through y our entire catalog of fics for Chenford and I am DYING for you to write more. Do you think there's a chance you might? No pressure, but I just really enjoyed your writing style and would love more from you. 💙

Thank you, anon! I'm so glad you enjoyed the fics! I had so much fun writing them.

I never say never about fic. I don't have any Chenford fics I'm currently working on, but I always have older stuff stashed away in my WIP that I hope to return to one day. I did have a post-ep 5x05 fic idea, but I haven't tried to sit down and write it yet. I love Tim and Lucy (individually and together) so, so much, and I hope that'll lead me back to writing for them at some point.

(It's hard for me to say for sure, because I'm very much the writer that when canon is giving me what I want - which right now is pining and slow burn etc. - I have less interest in writing fic. But I love a good missing scene or post-ep fic, and AU ideas come out of nowhere sometimes, so maybe!)

Andrea uses the v.r to see Russell. Memories of him that are like old videos to say goodbye to him. After Kara and Lenas (breakup) I mean fight she looks at a photo of her to see her (not only a memory but a form of video/ you get my idea). Not to mention Kara found a photo Andrea had of her and Russell in her office in 5x05. They also transitioned from the scene of Andrea morning over Rusell. To Lena and Kara mourning over each other. While the same song played in the background for both scenes. Andreas monologue follows Supercorps story/ dialogue. Kara’s says she can save Lena and Alex isn’t sure but she assures her “yes I do!” While Andrea wasn’t able to save Russell Kara was with Lena (5x08).

Kara gives Alex advice and directly parallels her own relationship to Lena with Alex’s relationship to her girlfriend Kelly. The same song plays over both scenes. Earlier in the episode Alex told Kara “Lena wants your relationship back on track too” referring to their lunch date. The scene ends with Alex saying “I hope so for the both of us”. In relation to things working out, which they do.

I really can’t remember much from 5x14. It’s basically about a woman trying to take Obsidian down. To get justice for what happened to her husband Todd. Amy’s husband was killed by V.R tech. She did this to save everyone from the same faith her husband suffered. Kara goes to calm her down by giving her a hope speech. She tells her she understands how she feels. She knows what happened and reassures she feels the same but you can’t change the past. When the entire episode prior was about her going into the past to try and save her relationship with Lena. She literally compares her relationship with Lena to Amy and her husbands. Kara and Amy’s stories follow similar patterns. Trying to stop the V.R tech and get justice for the person they love/lost (Lena/ Todd). I noticed this when I first watched but knowing how the season ends. With Kara and Lenas matching dialogue/ speeches in 5x19 says a lot. Kara even contemplate using the v.r after her fight with Lena.

In 5x19 Mgann asks Nia about Brainy. She says it wasn’t just a relationship they were partners who protected each other. She just wasn’t able to protect him from himself/ working with Lex. Um sound familiar. In s2 Kara vowed to always protect Lena. “I will always protect you”. They are referred to as partners in not only the Au. After crisis Alex told Kara that she and Lena were partners on this world. In 5x03 Alex says “Lena wants your relationship back on track”. Not friendship but relationship. When talking to Amy Kara says she understands. Amy wanted people to engage with loved ones. Kara separates friends from partners. This was during her and Lenas falling out. This was also the same speech where she mentions Lena (regarding the aus). In 4x12 Kara uses the term partner as romantic when talking about what she wants for Alex. “Alex, she wants a partner”.

Kara gave Lena an ultimatum. Either work with her (them) or Lex. Nia gave Brainy the same one. Nias dialogue matches up with a lot of how Kara felt this season towards Lena. About trust, which is similar to how she felt in s3. They both swore to protect each other but with being on opposite sides outs a rift on that.

There were other parallels from other seasons. For ex: Brainy filling Nias office with bento boxes. Lena filling Kara’s office with flowers. I wanted to focus on what mainly happened during s5. This doesn’t even show all the times Kara mentioned Lena while discussing the topic of romance/dating. Also again Supercorp endgame! (Freely comment below any additions you want).
