Loop and tug then pull. Loop and tug the pull. Loop and tug then pull.

“Will you please slow down?”

You made a face pausing, to look over at your husband. “Since when do you care?”

A scuffing sound came from him. “You know I do.” He sighed.

“What do you suppose I do?”

“Stroll in our garden. Write a letter to Julien.” He shrugged. “We don’t need you getting bad humors in your blood.” He absently chewed on his bottom lip.

“I could catch my death in the garden, it is quite frigid. And as you know, I don’t know where Olivier settled him and his wife.”

“Oh? I would have thought the boat would have reached its destination by now.” He remarked dryly.

A sharp knock sliced through the air. You met your husband’s eyes. His eyebrows rose, his mustache twitched.

“Yes?”

One of the elder servants, Xavier walked in.

“What is the reason for the disruption?” Your husband was not pleased.

Xavier, gave a small bow. “There is a solider here that wishes to speak with you.” He looked towards you.

You brought a hand over your heart. “Me?”

“Yes.”

You placed your crocheting beside you. Your husband, came to stand behind you. He met your eyes. You nodded.

“Allow him in.”

He looked like quite the brute before he even spoke. A chill fell over you. He was as big as an armoire. You bit the inside of your cheek, as he drew closer.

“You are the parents of the man known as Enjolras. Leader of a band of rebels.”

His tone was brisk, it was a statement. There was no question in his tone.

You shared a look with your husband. He let out a chuckle. It was the most cynical sound to ever reach your ears. It gave you a chill.

“Our son, is a student at the university.”

You swallowed.

“Him and his friends have been drinking their way through my money.” He paused. “A leader of rebels? No that is not my son.”

The man gaze fell onto you. Your heart stilled. “Perhaps, you naive of the facts mousier but your wife knows the truth.”

Your husband rose his brows. You swallowed.

“I, I…” You trembled. “All I know is he said he had to go to the colonies, that university bored him and he needed adventure.”

As you watched the man’s hand tighten and loosen in a fist, you felt is almost difficult to breath.

“He killed a young man, a Lieutenant in cold bold in a skirmish and you know nothing.” He rose his voice.

Your husband came out from behind you. “Excuse my tone, but how dare you enter my home and accuse my son of murder.”

“Your son came down from his perch, withdrew his pistol and shot him in cold blood.”

Your husband, stepped forward. “I barely could get his nose away from books. I had to practically bribe him to take up fencing. What is your basis for this accusation?”

“I watched him from where we stood our ground. It was my son’s life he took.”

You felt your heart wrench. You knew what he had told you. It had been the solider who had shot first; if that girl had not stepped forward it would have been in the cold, unforgiving ground. The shroud of mourning would be with you in every breath you took. You could understand the man’s anguish. But you could not help this man. You placed a hand over your heart.

“Mousier, I am terribly sorry all I know is I gave him some money for passage to begin his adventures over the great oceans.” You swallowed.

The man’s eyes narrow. You could practically feel his gaze.

“I find it unlikely but I do not wish to call a woman a lier in her home. His friend spoke of how he was as lethal and as deadly as an avenging angel.” His gave with relief went to your husband before it returned once again to you. “But know this, I will find him and I will kill him.”

Sharply he turned then and stormed out. Xavier was close on his heels who managed to close the door on the way out.

You barely took a barely took a breath before crumbling back into sofa. Your husband turned to you just as the two of you heard the front doors slam shut.

“Tell me what you know.” His words cut deeper then the solider’s.

The door opened. Xavier bowed.

“I am terribly sorry. I promise no further interruptions.”

“Good now leave us.” Your husband made. A dismissive gesture with his hand.

Xavier nodded and once again closed the door.

“Talk.”

“Can I have a brandy?” You needed to calm your heart.

“After.”

You felt ill but you nodded.

“After the conflict after the funeral of General Lamarque Julien and his men set up barricades. They knew the royal army would strike back and hard. Mind you it was during that conflict, that solider like that brute almost took his hand with his sword.”

“Is that so?”

You nodded.

“Continue.”

“The army attacked and they held them off. That was night he wed.”

You husband nodded. “I knew someone would pull on his heart, country and revolution could not steal his romantic heart completely.”

Your heart thudded a little harder. It was the kindest he ever spoke of him.

“He’s alot like you in that respect.”

“Oh dear husband,” You began.

“It’s an observation.”

He made a face, you couldn’t read under his mustache.

“Apparently, it wasn’t enough to keep him from actually fighting.” He absently moved his hand. “Continue.”

“Late, close to the midnight hour there was yet another attack. They held that off too. However, that is when that lieutenant mist have snuck behind their barricade. He was addressing his comrades when from below he took a shot at him. A young girl, someone who helped from time to time stepped just at the right moment. She took the bullet.”

You swallowed, you trembled. You could still see how he looked as he had spoke to you.

“And yes, he stepped down then and shot the man.”

“So it wasn’t exactly and execution?”

“Far from it.”

With a clink of glasses, your husband poured you both a brandy.

“So he fled with his wife?”

You nodded, the warmth of the brandy filling you.

“And you like her?”

“Yes.”

“Our son is now a man.”

He drank the entirety of what he had poured himself.

You didn’t know what to say.

“Is he going to the colonies?”

“No, just London.”

“Not many are lost traveling there. Good. I wouldn’t want to lose him to that ocean or even country.”

You blinked. Any response, any possible word became ensnared with another. You had no idea how to grasp onto any of it.

“Once it is safe for letters, tell me. I wish to write him.”

“Yes.”

“I am going to take some air.”

All you could do was take finish the last of your brandy.

********

“But sir, where is your servant shouldn’t he be here?” Asked the shopkeeper.

“One is by the carriage storing way the carpets.” He shrugged. “These are gifts to my wife, our house. I wanted to handle these other items myself.”

“You’re a romantic sir. Don’t let that side carry you away.”

“Thank you for the advice.”

Easily he picked up the trunk that held the lovely treasures, he wished to breathe life into the home the two of you now shared. There some clanging and shifting. It made him smile, he knew all of this would please you.

******

The wheels had groaned as they rolled over uneven streets that led to his destination.

Happily, he climbed out of the carriage and nodded to Beatrice the house keeper as she opened the door for him.

“Keep the door open. I have brought home one of first of many carpets.” He smiled.”tell me, where is my wife ?”

“In the library, sir.”

He nodded. Pausing, he shifting the trunk of treasures to his hip.

“Want me to take it sir?”

He shook his head as he tugged then loosened his scarlet scarf. “I got it. Has any letters arrived?”

She pressed her lips together and shook her head no. She glanced down.

“There will be.” He said brightly and shifting again he continued on his path to you. He hoped you were not poorly with your energy.

******

The chair creaked under you as you adjusted the curtains. Frederick had done good, but you knew that you could do better.

“Ange! Qu'est-ce que tu fais là haut?”

You clung a little harder to the curtains at the suddenness of Enjolras’s voice. You had been lost in your thoughts. You were grateful to no have fallen off the chair.

“Just fixing the curtains.”

Giving the curtains a final shake, you grabbed your skirt and jumped the short distance down. Easily you made your way over to him.

Seeing the trunk in his hands and your eyes grew.“More treasures?”

He nodded and the smile that filled his face filled you with warmth.

“Yes. I am certain you will love what is in here.”

*******

You giggled. “Angela, would be furious.”

He slid you a look. “Good thing she is at the market.” A half smile curled his lips.

You were grateful that the connections that Enjolras’s solicitor gave you servants actually were pretty decent people. Greta would have approved of each of them.

You honestly not used to having such activity around the household. For so long it had been only you and Greta. It all reminded you of your childhood. When father was alive, there had been a handful more then just Greta. Enolras was kind to them. He didn’t particularly like the idea of having them. Though, he was also very aware of why they were needed.

If you were honest with yourself, as of late you had grown to be quite breathless when on your feet for too long, so were grateful for their help. During this last month, he had urged you to rest more. Since the two of you had not found a doctor to look at. you reasoned that the long journey had mostly like taken its toll on you.

The treasures; books and a few vases and even a statue or two covered the large table. Happily you looped your arm with his. It steadied the unease you felt from shaking out and straightening the curtains. You hoped he didn’t notice.

“What shall we grab first?”

******

Later, with the moon high in the sky. He brushed some hair from your face to place a kiss on your temple. It had been a few days but he was eager for a tankard and a card game or two. Perhaps, been some pleasantries exchanged someone who know of a doctor.

*****

He pushed the heavy wooden door was was greeted by the smell of the ale, straw that littered the floor and a rip of laughter from a lady who sat with a few men in the corner. He was certain she owned the place. But didn’t ask too many questions.

“Arthur! Maurice!”

He smiled and gave a wave. Soon he sat with the two men he had taken a liking too. They would have fit in nicely with Courfeyrac and Grantaire. A slice went through his heart at their memory.

Cards fluttered across the worn table, some ale even sloshed a few tomes free of the tankard before reaching his lips.

“James!” Arthur stood and called out. Not much longer, he couldn’t tell though he dod notice that the a few candles were lower then when he had first arrived.

He turned to look at the man who approached. He looked him up and down. His clothes appeared clean, not too worn. His hair despite being lank was inky black and he appeared to look out from under his green eyes were sharp as he looked out from under his bushy eyebrows. Though as he neared a warm smile cracked his angled face.

Arthur returned the smile with a broader one. “James, welcome back from the country.” He clapped the man on the back.

“Good to be back. And happy to report no serious ailments, only the boredom of wives kept in the country and the gentlemen eager for conflict with news of clashes in France.”

He saw Arthur nod.

He stiffened at hearing his home country. A blur of the conflicts he went through raced in his mind like a stallion that longed to be free. It made a shadow of bittersweetness fall over him.

“James,” Arthur turned to him. “Allow me to introduce you to a few friend. Julien, new to the area with his sweet wife.”

James nodded at him, he lifted his tankard. Soon the man took a chair near him.

“You were in the country?” He asked him while glancing away from his cards.

“I am the local physician of sorts.”

His mood lifted hearing the man.

Introduction!

Hello! You can call me Ren or William and I go by he/they/it pronouns. I’m quite new to Tumblr so I do apologize for any mistakes I may make along the way while I get to know this social media. I’m a multi-fandom fanfiction author, and I’m always open to certain requests! Here’s some more about me so you know what fandoms I write for and what I will and won’t write:

Fandoms I’ll Write For

Moriarty the Patriot (favorite fandom)

Jujutsu Kaisen (fourth favorite fandom)

Neon Genesis Evangelion (fifth favorite fandom)

Bungou Stray Dogs

Spy x Family

Attack on Titan

Death Note

Haikyuu!

Be More Chill

“Will and Won’t”s

Will do angst, fluff, comfort, smut, whatever you can imagine. I’m willing to write incredibly graphic and intense works, but when it comes to smut, nothing too kinky. And please, although it shouldn’t even have to be said, do not request smut for characters under the age of eighteen (I won’t do aged up versions of minor characters either).

Will do almost any ship, but there are some ships I won’t write for, specifically abusive ships and ships including incest or ships with large age gaps. Other than that, I’m pretty open for even some of the most wildest ships. There’s also a few characters I may refuse to write certain types of fanfiction for because of personal reasons such as them being a triggering character for me (such as Asuka from NGE), me despising their character because they’re a disgusting person (such as Mori from BSD), and etcetera.

Will do character x reader works, polyamory “x reader” works, and other various forms of that genre. I’m fine with pretty much anything.

Will do works featuring mental disorders including depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, etcetera. I’m very open to whatever and whatever headcanons you may want me to include!

Basic DNI/WON’TS including: racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, pedophilia, sexism, anti-abortion… along those lines.

For more info on me, here are some little facts!

I have diagnosed autism, depression, and anxiety. I have undiagnosed ADHD.

I’m omni-pansexual and arospike.

I identify as a demiboy

I like to analyze characters a lot, resulting in plenty of essays on some of the characters from my favorite fandoms (especially BSD). If you ever want to request an analysis, that’s totally welcome too!

My top eight kins are William James Moriarty, Satoru Gojo, Julian Devorak, (BBC) Sherlock Holmes, Kaeya, Ranpo Edogawa, Fleabag, and Osamu Dazai.

My current top five favorite ships are Sherliam (from MTP), Kawoshin (from NGE), Satosugu (from JJK), Johnlock (from BBC Sherlock), and Asrian (from The Arcana).

I am unhealthily obsessed right now with The Arcana’s Asra.

Self-Ship Requests Now Open!

Hi there!!! I’m opening my requests for: 

reader-insert fanfictions (1000-5000 words) 

short scenes for specific self-insert ships (300-1000 words) 

selfship art 

selfship/fictional other moodboards

headcanon sets (for specific characters or dynamics) 

If you’re requesting art or headcanons for a specific dynamic, they can be from any fandom (including OCs), but anything else must be from a fandom I’m familiar with! (my list of fandoms is under ‘read more’) 

This is an abridged version of my request rules, the full version can be found here!

Important Note: requests are not guaranteed! I have limited spoons and a capricious muse, much as I wish I could be a reliable source of content. But I will do my very best! I also reserve the right to refuse requests, but I will never shame or judge you for what you’ve requested. 

Fandoms I Can Create For: 

The Adventure Zone: Balance The Adventure Zone: Amnesty   Avatar: The Last Airbender Black Butler  Boku No Hero Academia/My Hero Academia (Season 1-4) Critical Role, Mighty Nein (Episode 1-89) Critical Role, Campaign 3 (Episode 1-12)  Death Note Disney Movies (many, especially Pixar and Ghibli)  Gravity Falls Hadestown Hannibal Harry Potter Homestuck (original only) Heathers The Magnus Archives  Les Miserables (book and musical) Night In The Woods Ouran High School Host Club Phantom of the Opera Resident Evil 7/8 Rick and Morty Sandman Comics Sherlock (BBC, Robert Downey Jr, and original stories)  Skulduggery Pleasant Smile For Me Star Trek (original series/2009 reboot) Star Wars (Episode I-IX) Steven Universe  Supernatural (season 1-9) Twilight Undertale (including underswap, horrortale)  Welcome To Night Vale (Episode 1-100)  X-Men (movies)

If you have an F/O from a specific book, video game, or movie, you can always check if I know it! Most of my video game familiarity is indie/horror, so don’t expect too much there. Movies, I have a better range (horror, action, animated, and musicals mostly). Books are an absolute gamble, but you can always try! 

Whew, I hope you’re having a wonderful day! 

[phoenixflames12]

for the fic meme - 13 and 22?

Thank you so much Jay! @boatgays

From this fic writers meme

13. First fandom you ever wrote for?

The first fandom I ever published for was Les Miserables around about the time that the 2012 film came out just as I was finishing high school. I was deeply invested in @kcrabb88's partial survival AU Les Hommes De L'Mesicorde and wanted to have a go at this fanfiction writing and publishing thing myself. The first fandom I ever wrote for, without knowing it was fanfiction or knowing anything about fandom was probably either Harry Potter or the BBC Robin Hood series. All of those stories are on fanfic.net if you care to have a look.

22. Do you listen to anything while you write?

I do! At the moment I'm really into listening to neoclassical piano or orchestra pieces that I can put on in the background during a writing session (I do this when I'm working too) and let the music be a comforting source of background noise without having to pay too much attention to it.

Thank you so much!

Much love,

Phoenixflames12 xxxx

2020 creator wrap: favourite works 🖤

rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favourite works that you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. 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.

tagged by @thekenobee - thank you!! :) I didn’t do a whole lot of creating this year, started on some fics but didn’t get far, but I hope to work on writing more this year! So these works won’t be very fancy but I have a few things I enjoyed making:

1. Low-budget Endeavour Musical (2/?) - A scene from 5x5 Quartet + “Fantine’s Arrest” from Les Miserables

I rewrote some of the lyrics from the original song, made a video with screencaps and lyrics, and recorded all the voices. Doing the impressions was really fun despite being an American female soprano doing all British men! I like the melody of that song, and can just imagine how Roger Allam might have sung it when he played Javert.

2. Low-budget Endeavour Musical (3/?) - A scene from 5x6 Icarus + “Betty” by Taylor Swift

This was only lyrics, and only the first part of the song, but also fun to come up with. Before this year I might hear a Taylor Swift song and think “that’s cool,” and then forget about it, but I loved Folklore and probably wrote this when Betty lived in my head for three days. Series 5 of Endeavour is apparently easy for me to make content for, don’t know why (maybe because it had the most episodes?) but it was my go-to for these two songs!

3. Incorrect Star Wars quotes from BBC Cabin Pressure - screencaps

Had a lot of fun with this blog, even though I ran out of steam in the summer and had to pull back on how often I post. I made screencap versions of a few of the quotes (linked above) and I’m very happy with them! Also did a few incorrect quotes on this blog for Obi-Wan&Qui-Gon and A:TLA and that was very fun.

4. More Morseverse crack

In my life, I think I only contributed about one (1) serious thing to the Endeavour Fandom. So besides the music above, here’s the rest of the silliness from this year:

The Rise of Skywalker

Christmas decorations

Morse/Joan + Hadestown video

Liveblogging Pylon, Apollo, Confection, Degüello

5. That’s about it, I guess!

I had some good tweets but I am not going to link my twitter here lol. Hoping 2021 will include Star Wars fanfiction (here’s a nice prompt list for drabble requests if you want one!) and maybe some Endeavour things. Hope this wasn’t too self-promoy haha but if you read all this, thanks for reading!

Tagging: @sirianddeanseethestars @wille-zarr @ciceros-ghost if you’d like, and I’m blanking on who all writes or draws or does other things but this is a cool tag so please feel free to take! (here’s the post I was tagged in in case you want it bc the formatting for writing and edits was nice)

[rowansparrow]

I’m buying my textbooks this week, guys!! Help a girl out?

Commissions Announcement

As many of you know, I’m a student trying to pay my way through college, so I have decided to start taking writing commissions to help pick up some of the slack! 

Obviously I’m primarily a Star Wars blog, but here is a complete list of all the fandoms I can write for:

Star Wars (All forms) Hamilton Les Miserables Sherlock Supernatural Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit Harry Potter Marvel Grey’s Anatomy Stardew Valley (Video game)

If you’re interested in commissioning me, shoot me an email at rowansparrowtumblr@gmail.com and we can talk through pricing/ideas! Pricing will vary depending on length and the nature of the request, but for now I’m thinking about 5$ for a 2k Fic, and then 1$ for every additional 500 words after that. Again, prices are NEGOTIABLE and will vary between commissions. 

Thanks so much for helping me out, you guys, and even if you aren’t interested in commissioning me, please reblog this to spread the word! Thanks everyone!

A Time to Fight and to Love

Part Thirty - Three

Summary: Thoughts of the past and the future come together.

Notes/Warnings: angst, thoughts of one’s life, mention of one’s death.

A few translations:

Are you well, my love? - Tu vas bien, mon amour ?

Yes, my love. I only missed you is all when a nightmare had struck. - Oui mon amour. Tu ne m'as manqué que lorsqu'un cauchemar a frappé.

My love, my angel you and our child is a gift, I never thought would be given to me but they were. - Mon amour, mon ange, toi et notre enfant êtes un cadeau, je n'aurais jamais pensé qu'il me serait offert mais ils l'étaient.

❤️s, comments, feedback & reblogs are always welcome! Thank you for reading. We are beginning to near the end! 🥹

With a start, you awoke turning you looked for Enjolras for solace but he wasn’t there. His side of the bed was cold.

Perhaps, he was in his study. Pulling the blanket aside, you got out of bed. Holding up some of your chemise as to not trip, you kept to the carpet. Despite, the wooden floorboards being well kept they were too cool for your liking at this hour. They were much better than the ones you had grown used to back home with Mama. She had to be alright, she just had to be. However, those floorboards would creak with only a mere at gaze upon them and snagged all of your dresses.

The warmth from the fire that burned was what greeted you first upon opening the door.

“Tu vas bien, mon amour ?”

You glanced towards in the direction of the raspy voice, that reassured and made your heart skip beats. In front of the flickering flames, you spied the silhouette that could only ever belong to Enjolras.

“Oui mon amour. Tu ne m'as manqué que lorsqu'un cauchemar a frappé.”

“I am sorry my love.” He glanced up at you before draininy the liquid in the glass, he held. Moving the glass to his other hand, he patted a place beside him. “Come sit beside me.”

Just being near him once again and you relaxed.

Wrapping an arm around you, he held you close. You could just get a whiff of the spicy liquid he had been sipping at.

“Did sleep elude you?”

“Yes.”

As you glanced at him, he made a face. “Despite all the fretting at getting mother settled in, I still could not get ahold of sleep.”

“It will be nice to have her here.”

He rose an eyebrow as your eyes met.

“Mostly. I still cannot believe that Beatrice and her were familiar with each other. She is certainly a very determined woman.”

“She raised an equally, determined son.”

He chuckled. You loved that sound.

He drained what was left in his glass, before placing the glass on the table beside the two of you.

“Yes.” He nodded. “Yes, she did do that.”

“Enjolras, what is plaguing you?”

Hmm? He made a questioning sound as he rose his eyebrows.

You sat up the best you could with your growing tummy. At the moment, the baby seemed to be relaxed or at the very least comfortable and wasn’t moving and turning like they liked to do more often than not these days.

He didn’t look at you.

“Enjolras, look at me.”

His dark eyes moved from the flickering flames to you and once more were back fixed on the flames.

“I know that it is something other than the arrival of your mother.”

His mouth formed a line, he swallowed.

“The solider who has been hunting me has arrived. I do believe, he has taken up with one of the barmaids. And he has enjoyed some card games with her and others.”

“Oh? Oh!” Now you were the one who looked away. “What are you going to do?”

“I sent word for Bellamy to join me at the tavern, tomorrow night. And I shall go and meet my destiny.” He exhaled.

“Don’t talk like that.” Your emotions flared.

He took your hand and squeezed it.

“Mon amour, mon ange, toi et notre enfant êtes un cadeau, je n'aurais jamais pensé qu'il me serait offert mais ils l'étaient.” He pressed his lips together. “I should already be dead, I should have died at the barricade.”

“No, no! Don’t talk like that. You were given a chance to be with me, to be a father. You have to hold me a little longer, you have to hold our child.”

A tear escaped and slide down your cheek.

You trembled as his warm hand cupped your cheek, his thumb wiping away the tear.

“I, I…”

Any words, any other sentiment you could have shared were silenced as his lips met yours.

[meta-squash]

I think the coolest thing about being a long-term Les Miserables fan is the sheer amount of layers there are to this fandom.

Like, you have your ur-text, the Brick, which is most people’s starting point. The origination of this whole thing that contains in it all these characters and their minutae.

But some people’s starting reference is the musical, which has its own set of characterizations. PLUS those little minutae and things change depending on which cast a person sees, and if they see multiple casts, which actors/portrayals they pick and choose as favorites from each viewing.

You also have the 2012 movie which is the musical but much more static; the cast doesn’t change, you only have one to pick from and therefore only one portrayal but add that as another layer with the stage show casts and the Brick itself and that’s an even further layer.

Then you have the BBC Miniseries which not everyone watched but it adds yet another layer of characterization and interpretation.

You also have all the other less-popular movie adaptations spanning from the fifties to present, which again not everyone has seen but some people have, and that adds another layer.

Then you have fanfiction, both canon-era and modern, which allows people to come up with their own dynamics between each character and their own personalities for characters based off of that ur-text or the musical.

Then finally you have the other little headcanon posts that float around here on tumblr. Those posts that are like “yeah but what if Grantaire and Enjolras doing [insert thing here]” “what about Grantaire reacting in [witty way]” “what about this type of friendship between Bahorel and Feuilly or Bossuet and Joly and Grantaire or Eponine and Musichetta” or whatever.

It’s just so damn cool because most fandoms only have one or two references points - a book and a movie, or a musical and a movie, or a book and a tv show, or whatever. But this fandom gets, like, all of it. Which means that pretty much everyone’s interpretation of a character is going to be slightly different, but it also means that pretty much everyone’s interpretation probably isn’t drastically incorrect or off the mark or whatever.

Fancast for Riverdale Era at Hogwarts

I thought it would be a fun exercise to decide what characters from movies and whatnot I felt related to the various non-Riverdale characters in my fanfiction (because the Riverdale people are all casted). Here are my thoughts on the characters (in order of appearance):

Scott Mulciber- Aaron Tveit

Enjolras in Les Miserables. Dedicated to the cause of the Death Eaters, rallies friends and scorns enemies, opposite of Enjolras he does take an interest in women.

Evan Rosier- Allen Leech

Imitation Game portrayal of John Cairncross. Observant, friendly and kind on the surface, but will hold his ground and manipulate you if need arises.

Christopher Wilkes- Chiwetel Ejiofor

Doctor Strange portrayal of Mordo. Concerned with order and authority.

Tristan Avery-James Soulsby

Mischief Managed portrayal of Peter Pettigrew. Fun loving, but a little behind everyone else and too enthusiastic about things.

Severus Snape- Mick Ignis

Severus Snape and the Marauders portrayal of Severus Snape

Lily Evans- Chloe Delanney

Mischief Managed portrayal of Lily Evans.

Sirius Black- Robert Downey Jr

Iron Man. The first one. Everything is about him even if he isn’t trying to make it that way. He is smart, but not wise.

James Potter- Bradley James

BBC Merlin portrayal of King Arthur. Cocky jock who is the best at all things jock, not a bad mind either, a little bit of a bully, but has the best intentions that don’t always turn out right.

Remus Lupin- Robert Pattison

For portrayal of Edward Cullen. Isolated, thinks he is a curse, avoids romance, still caring, but distant to everyone.

Peter Pettigrew- Logan Leman

Charlie in Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Mary MacDonald- Judy Greer

 Casey in 27 Dresses. Complainer, encourages risky behavior because she has been there done that, she is a partier, don’t ask her to settle down.

Marlene McKinnon-Reese Witherspoon

Annie in Penelope. Good friend, caring, likes to help you push your limits, fun loving.

Millie Moore- Emily Blunt

Emily in Devil Wears Prada. The best trend follower/setter, obsessed with being the best, not particularly loud, but dedicated where she thinks it counts.

Zoey Slater- Angel Coulby

BBC Merlin portrayal of Gwen.

Zara Greengrass- Zoe Saldana

Guardians of the Galaxy portrayal of Gamora. Very particular, headstrong with her opinions, doesn’t have time for silly things, will cover herself unless you have proven worthy of her friendship and trust.

Persephone Phillips-Brenda Song

London in Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She really isn’t that empty headed, but as a pureblood without a sacred 28 last name she uses it as a tactic to earn male attention.

Victoria Rhyes- Amy Adams

Brenda Strong in Catch Me If You Can.

Coco Bean

This beautiful cat I found on the internets.

Regulus Black-Jonathan Rhys Meyers

August Rush portrayal of Louis Connelly.

 Barty Crouch Jr- Andrew Scott

BBC Sherlock portrayal of Jim Moriarty. [He’s really only a background character in Season 1, but I hope to use him more in future seasons....depending on where Riverdale goes in Season 2.]

I guess Zoey and Victoria are also just background characters, but I still care about them. Ask me about any of these characters.

Also, these are not ALL my fandoms…just the ones I feel I can write for! I may be willing to try something else :) I’ll keep this list updated.

* I don’t write anything romantic/sexual for Dan and Phil, because they’re real people and I find it…uncomfortable. They have said that they’re okay with fanfiction about them, but let’s be real, I can barely write smut for fictional characters.

**Because these fandoms are so extensive you’re gonna have to specify. I’m most familiar with Spiderman (some comics, all movies), Thor (same thing), Teen Titans, the older Starkid musicals, all the Star Wars movies, some old republic stuff, nearly all the books between movies and most of the legacy of the force books, and I’ll tentatively say mooost Disney movies.

A quick comment on commenting

A small continuation to this post: 

There’s something really strange about being in the Outlander fandom at the moment, particularly when you cross post (as I do) to AO3 as well as tumblr and that’s the culture of commenting. 

I cut my fandom and fanfiction teeth in 2012/13 with the Les Miserables and BBC Robin Hood fandoms over on fanfiction.net when commenting on people’s work was commonplace. Fast forward five years or so and with the popularity of tumblr as a posting platform and the rise of the like/reblog on tumblr, which I absolutely adore- please don’t get me wrong, commenting on platforms such as AO3, in my opinion, unless it’s a fic written by a ‘popular author’, has swerved quite drastically out of fashion. I know that as a reader, I’m as guilty of this as the next person, but as an author who is pouring her lifeblood, and as much time as she has (which is limited at the moment) into her current work and is only hearing crickets and the occasional nightingale of a comment (thanks @abbydebeaupreposts!), it is quite disheartening. 

I know that Vergangenheit (the latest chapter, An Escape is on AO3 here) isn’t the typical fic that most people go to for some Outlander escapism. It’s set in period of history that for most people is still very close to home, it’s gritty, it’s painful, it’s ablaze with angst and hurt and loss and has a fractured, very out of character Jamie and a host of secondary characters (i.e the Fraser children) and OCs that cross their paths as its’ protagonists. The title of ‘fic of the moment’ is saved for @missclairebelle‘s epic, painful modern AU ‘Loss’ (do yourself a favour and read her latest instalment) and @kalendraashtar‘s ‘Scalpel and Needle’ and anything that @gotham-ruaidh writes and rightly so, because those ladies have some insane talent- but please, save some thought for the rest of us. 

This fandom is full of such talented writers on AO3 as well as here, so please, if you have a moment, send us all some love! 

Much love,
