Mertyl Angst Fics List

I'm a writer who adores making my favs cry and suffer in my fics. Don't know why that's just a thing that I do. I did it with Gruvia, I did it with Ragbros MULTIPLE times and now I'll be doing it with the Kiane fam primarily Mertyl cause his character is just begging me to write something gut-wrenching.

Sixtus steps in and protects Nasiens and Tioreh. Mertyl, seeing the brother that he's closest with be on their side, loses it BIG TIME.

Mertyl has zero control over himself but he's still in there, begging his body to stop hurting his family then he lands a fatal blow on King.

Mertyl ran away to Camelot and lived a life that he wished for himself, but slowly he realized just how much he messed up.

Mertyl, now on Camelot's side. Faced off against the knights. Sixtus, not wanting to give up on his brother, decided to go talk some sense into him only for him to get stabbed. LANCELOT IS PISSED

Mertyl was caught by the knights of Liones and was sent to the dungeon for interrogation. Just so happened that Ban is in the Castle. Let's say Uncle Ban is not too happy about his nephew switching sides.

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday

Thanks @blairwaldcrf and @ssmtskw for the tags! This is technically only five sentences, but there is also some wanton semicolon abuse, so I think it counts.

The thing about Alex is, he’s always ten steps ahead of himself. When faced with a problem, more often than not the solution will come to him fully formed and he has to pick up the thread and walk it backwards through the labyrinthine pathways of his brain’s logic until all the twists and turns fit together; until he understands the steps to take to get himself from point A to point B. He’s always been this way, to the confusion of most people around him and the dismay of more than one high school math teacher begging him to show his working. The point is, he knows that what he’s looking at is how they get June home safely. He just needs to fit all the puzzle pieces together so he understands how.

Forever feeling feral for whatever y'all are up to, so tags below the cut and, as always, anyone who wants to play! (If you take the open tag please tag me so I can see!!)

I can't believe I have to go to work today. Tragic. Unjust. Horrible. Doesn't the world know I woke up excited to write???

Sigh. Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the update <3

I'm having the urge to ruin comedy for myself forever (I'm about to draft a violent!au concept for Not in Front of Dinner, Darling and while it might not be as "dark romance" as my previous violent!au it is for sure going to be just as unfunny because I need them to tear each other's intestines out)

[sleeplesslark]

Hard to get into the mood to want to do anything at this time of year. Idk if it's because my sleep pattern is off or what....but having trouble finding the energy to do much more than mindlessly scroll.

[sickly-qt]

learned this weekend that my SO is the kind of person that doesn't want to be touched while they're sick.... or talked to.... I just kinda sat there and periodically refilled their water...

anyway! might get a fic or two out in the next couple of days... right now my WIPs are:

sick Julian w/ caretaker Mila

sick Drew w/ caretaker Ambrose

sick Finn w/ struggling caretaker Drew

Playing the Ace Attorney series with my buds fresh off of Rain Code has been great cause otherwise I wouldn't be brainstorming up my interpretation of Vivia's home life and be whacked with 'SPIRIT MEDIUM PARENTS' to jumpstart my foundation for everything else going on in his family life.

I can have motivation. and I can have ideas. BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME APPARENTLY.

This is probably the 20th time I've written this out (one for every day really) but. I know I said that by the end of the month I'd probably remake the blog, however

I think I'm putting the blog on an indefinite hiatus.

I know, that's the sentence that's said right before a blog ceases to exist forever, but something here just isn't clicking anymore. I'm not enjoying my time, despite my absolute best efforts. That something that made me enjoy my time here is gone and I can't replicate it just by brute forcing it anymore.

Maybe someday I'll be back, I do love this place, my characters, y'all's characters, etc. Though, for now, I think I need to stop lying to myself that I can just keep doing new things to suddenly bring back my interest for this place. It's not going to happen.

Thank y'all for all the fun we've had and, hey, maybe I'll be back sooner rather than later, maybe in a month, a week, etc. I could back down from this before the end of the week even. I just needed to put it out there that I think I'm burnt out here.

WIP Wednesday

I mean to do these more often than I do but Wednesday is usually my busiest day of the week because its the day I actually have to do a work commute longer than the 10 feet from my bed to my desk XD

Anyway, when the year started I wanted to have the angsty aroace!Mario fic written for Valentine's Day/AroSpec Awareness Week but then I looked at what I had left to write for it and how much time I had and there was no way I was finishing it within that deadline, lmao. So I put it down and decided to work on some other WIPs instead; I have some outlines and ideas from late 2020/early 2021 that I can knock out real quick, with how much my writing skills have progressed. And it would be nice to actually put a tangible dent in my WIP pile for once. I already wrote two of them, and luckily I have a different aro!Mario WIP half-outlined that I can definitely write and finish in time for ASAW so I think I'm going to focus on that, now. It's not much to do with Mario being aro itself (aside from Peach being mad about amatonormativity for a bit, ha); it'll probably mostly be, like, platonic cuddling and junk. But it'll be nice to get another entry in the aro!Mario series after so long…It's really hard to get ideas for new fics for it :(

This also means I have to pause the WIP I was actively in the middle of working on, which was a late-2020 idea about Kamek accidentally shrinking himself and Mario deciding to mind him. Because I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong places or something, but its really hard to find fics where people are shrunken that aren't, like, Borrowers fusions or a vore thing. Which, no shade to either of those, but they aren't the vibe I'm after, haha. But I suspect the shared change in perspective and helpless vulnerability and having to trust someone who could just crush you if they wanted etc etc etc is still fueling it all regardless :)

So anyway here's some of the tiny!Kamek fic because I won't be working on it for a hot minute —

“Either that spell I’d cast was more powerful than I’d realized,” Kamek slowly said, “Or I somehow managed to shrink myself, instead.”

“...”

“I’d shrunk myself, didn't I.”

Mario’s mustache curled up in amusement. Kamek ground his teeth and fumed. Of all the stupid mistakes to make...!

Despite his magic reserves being low, Kamek reached into his sleeve for his wand; whether to put himself back to normal or knock the amusement off Mario’s face, he couldn't say. Either way, his hand came out empty. And it did so the second time Kamek rummaged in in his sleeve, and the third, and the fourth, and the — 

Absolutely not panicking, Kamek dove back into the tree hollow to overturn every dead leaf and stick pile and moss clump in search of his wand. He didn't find it, of course, and he spared a moment or two to just stand there, head in hands. With how today was going, he’d probably dropped it just after miscasting that spell. On the very dim bright side, though, at least he knew why his broom wasn't working; those enchantments weren't designed to play nice with these sort of shrinking spells. Kamek sighed. Curse Lord Bowser and his incessant, almost impossible demands...

Kamek lifted his head to find Mario peering through the opening of the tree hollow, watching him with a furrowed brow, considering Kamek’s misfortune. He backed up to allow Kamek to leave, and once Kamek stood upright, he extended a hand to him.

“I don't need your help,” Kamek snapped. Ignoring Mario’s hand, he turned on his heel, marched a few steps, tripped over a protruding bit of exposed bark, and lost his balance. His next step was on empty air, at a height borderline unsurvivable, with little but a broken broom to break his fall.

So he fell. And he hit the ground. Sooner than he’d expected, considering. Kamek unscrewed his eyes and found the surface he’d landed on was whiter than he’d expected, as well. And then it moved, and Kamek lost the little balance he’d been barely holding on to. Mario’s worried face filled Kamek’s vision, and he realized that he wasn't dead because Mario had caught him.

“...I suppose I should thank you,” Kamek eventually said, with no intention of thanking Mario. Mario huffed, but still watched him, lips pursed in thought. He was being quieter than usual, and that combined with the sudden awareness of just how vulnerable he was —  many fractions his size, unable to cast any spells, sitting on his archenemy’s palms high in the air — had Kamek swallowing nervously.

“You can put me down, now,” Kamek hesitantly said, because Mario was a good guy, and he would do that. For sure. Hopefully.

Except Mario didn't. Instead, he transferred Kamek to one hand, opened the front pocket of his overalls with the other, and dumped Kamek in there as if he was some common — 

Kamek struggled to right himself in the small, mostly enclosed space. “Wh — You —!” he sputtered. “How dare you — !”

Mario chuckled at Kamek’s indignation. The vibrations of it rumbled through Kamek's body, and the whole ‘you’re very tiny and powerless and more-or-less at your archenemy’s mercies right now’ dilemma screeched back to the forefront of Kamek’s mind. So he shut his mouth with a clack, thinking better of poking his head out of the pocket to give Mario a piece of his mind. Through the meager opening above him he saw Mario give him one last look before starting to move; with the way the world shifted probably meant he was at a brisk walk, down the forest path to who-knew-where.

Kamek sighed, making himself comfortable the best he could given the circumstances. Well... at least Mario wasn't likely to let Kamek get accosted by wildlife again. And besides, all Kamek had to do was wait until he could scrounge up enough magic to cast spells again; though he was still without his wand, he’d still be free to ditch Mario and make his own way back to the base for his spare wand and broom. And then he could make Mario pay for this indignity ten-fold.

in one timeline, things are the way they're supposed to be. in another, shadow doesn't make it when he falls after sa2. they never find him again, he's never cloned. instead he's revived in an unfamiliar nexus world, with his memory intact, and barred from returning to/entering his original timeline again.

so he travels: he's given the ability to hop worlds and timelines, but avoids earth-related timelines. it wouldn't be the same without his maria, after all, and it wouldn't be his place to interfere with someone else's. but travelling just to travel and experience new things doesn't really cut it. how is he supposed to live just for himself? without her, and without being able to return to his original timeline to protect the world she loved, he's forced to find a new purpose in life.

and so he hands himself over to science: just because he himself can't go "home" anymore, if they find a cure for NIDS, maybe it can be shared. if it couldn't be done in his first life, it must be what this second chance is for. (he'll learn, once all is said and done, that isn't all there is to his life.)

in that other timeline where everything's "normal", the events of frontiers have just concluded, and sage has been integrated as eggman's new favourite beloved daughter right-hand.

metal sonic has some Feelings about that he doesn't quite understand yet. he desperately wants to prove something to eggman, to himself: he's still useful. he's still worthy.

he constantly gets in sonic's way just to prove a point. if eggman doesn't see him as important anymore, he'll best sonic on his own terms. same old same old, but this time it's different. this time it's frantic and forceful. he'll go farther. he'll go faster. he pushes himself to his absolute limits. maybe then eggman will notice and praise him again.

there's a situation that's already led to sonic going super and a fight taking place near the stratosphere. metal, desperate to prove himself, intercepts him again and again. at first it's just a nuisance; not too unlike swatting away a gnat. until he manages to catch hold of sonic's hands, and attempts to drive him back down to earth.

frustrated and running out of time to deal with the main situation, sonic intends to just throw him out of the way--but in his haste, throws him in the opposite direction, clear out of the stratosphere. it wasn't what he intended. metal's an enemy, sure, but that was a bit overkill, accident or not. he promises himself to go looking for and collect him later.

but metal's trapped between planets; in a rift of sorts, and the multiverse works in strange ways. months pass before sonic's freed up again enough to go looking. and by the time he does, metal's already been ejected him from his native timeline.

like a meteorite, he falls into another timeline. right into the arms of a revived, world-displaced shadow, and his own second chance.
