I was just realizing that my previous Halo writer rec post was missing some newer writers I've met in the time since. So here's an updated version of this post, still in alphabetical order, including their AO3 if I know it. Also, some of them write for the TV show or the game(s) exclusively, some write for both, and some aren’t actively writing for Halo right now but are still very much worth including for their past works, IMO. Happy reading! 🤗

Ghost going dark

i member @flatlinedgamer pointing out it was Ghost breaching the door with the sledgehammer on his back when that trailer came out ^_^

Simon was supposed to be the more logical one out of the two of them, (as Thomas was the one who couldn't really be relied on anything other than he would make toast) but the he had been so tired last night that both of them found their clothes in the dishwasher.

(sorry for the ping but this looked fun)

It's been a while since we played this game, so we thought we should bring it back!

The way the game goes...

1) You share the last line you wrote recently (or another one if that one is too spoilery).

2) For however many words are in your sentence, you tag some friends to play along!

We will kick it off with a sentence from one of our admins WIPs:

As Rudy continued to breathe, encouraged by Alejandro’s small smiles, he gazed around the room, feeling as if he was seeing everything for the first time.

And tagging some of our followers to play along (no requirement though) and if anyone wants to join in, please do! Going to ignore our own rule and start by tagging 10:

@lisbetadair, @ahopelessromantic16, @callofdooty, @mikk1n, @angelsarewatching, @samithemunchkin, @krwaken, @loneghostwolf, @10millionotters, @kaitaiga

[xwendigox]

What's a fun headcanon you have for Ghost? For FFWF!

Oh boy. If I’m being honest, I don’t have too many of these considering I’ve always been so focused on like less fun stuff in my story and just stuff that pushes the story along. I got to work to get better on that. Thank ye!

Anyway to answer your question:

The king of sarcasm. Can say something with a straight ass face and casual tone and you will not be able to tell if he’s being dead 💀 serious or joking 🙃 scares the shit outta y’a cuz he never clarifies

He can be quite the comedian when he wants to be. Usually after a few pints with the boys.

Tends to zone in on his own personal projects and gets pretty agitated when he’s interrupted. Like a little kid playing with action figures during an epic fight and mom says it’s time for dinner.

He would be THE BEST study buddy ever. Considering he’s an elite soldier and details MATTER in all things military, he would be that very thorough and accurate study partner. Would make sure that you memorized each historical war, the EXACT date, even the exact fucking time if he can find solid proof of, and all that occurred. Very thorough in general.

In addition to the previous one, he would be a great project partner. He probably would be that person who takes over the whole project because he has his own vision for it that he knows is the best and he doesn’t trust anyone else in the group to fulfill their role in achieving said goal to his high standards.

Is the “work first, then play” kind of person. Wakes up early and just goes about his day getting tasks done. Doesn’t get easily distracted, and after all the work is done, then he gets to sit back and relax. So you’ll always know you can count on him to get shit done.

Ten characters, ten fandoms, ten tags

I have been tagged by @alypink, @flatlinedgamer, and @samatedeansbroccoli to play this game, and I’m honestly still a bit confused.  So I’m going with 10 favourite characters, but not necessarily top 10, because that’s too hard.

1. Hesh Walker (COD: Ghosts)

2. Jack Mitchell (COD: Advanced Warfare)

3. Marjan Marwani (911 Lone Star)

4. Andy (The Old Guard)

5. Matt Murdock (Daredevil)

6. Bucky Barnes (TFATWS)

7. Christina "Chris" Alonso (SWAT)

8. Max (Dark Angel)

9. Samantha Carter (Stargate SG-1)

10. John Sheppard (Stargate Atlantis)

Now if only I could get up the nerve to actually write a Stargate fic...

Anyways, tagging @tokillamockingbird427, @faccal, @samithemunchkin and @luda-m-lada to play if you’d like!

[ageless-aislynn]

As much as I loved how Halo 4 ended and how heartbreaking it was, it pales in comparison to Mack and Sif from Halo: Contact Harvest. Sif was the AI in charge of Harvest's space elevator , Bifrost, as well as the first face visitors saw. Mack was the AI in charge of all agricultural operations and the "host" of a military AI named Loki. Mack was already going through rampancy because of Loki and he was deeply in love with Sif. She constantly chastised him for flirting with her.

When the Covenant attacked and prepared to glass the planet, Loki was charged with destroying the Bifrost and Sif to protect the location of Earth. Mack fought him on it but in the end he had to let Loki do it because it was what Sif wanted. In her last moments, as her core burned, Sif finally understood what Mack was feeling.

This was Mack's final transmission before Harvest was fully glassed:

OH MY HEART. I didn't even know any of them a few minutes ago and right now my heart is just aching. That's so tragic but beautiful as well. Thank you so much for telling me about it. I haven't had the chance to read any of the Halo books yet but they're definitely on my list of Must Reads.

Oh man... I'll be thinking about that for a while. Wow. 😥💖

Salty ask list #14, please!

14: Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

I’m gonna use siege for this one. Not every operator we get needs to be ship with the person they don’t like. Sometimes people just don’t like other people, it happens, that’s life. Obviously people are free to do whatever they like, just sometimes this gets annoying. Like x doesn’t like x guess they’re fucking. What? No. I tend to rolls my eyes at this.

the chicken posts. are great. keep them coming please

They'll probably be few and far between for now. I lost most of my flock to a pair of raccoons over the past few months. I started this year with over 40 chickens and ducks and (barring any more attacks) I'll be ending it with just 8 chickens. Unless Faye is successful. She's been broody for about a week.

Next year I'll be ordering a mystery box of chicks and won't be able to resist posting pictures. 😅 Especially if I'm lucky enough to get turkeys and geese.

Hello everyone and welcome to our Halloween Round Robin!

This is our first time trying this event, so fingers crossed. We will kick it off with a sentence and tag 10 accounts that follow the blog. Then hopefully one of the 10 (or anyone else) will add on another sentence or paragraph and tag some friends.

It is perfectly fine for the story to split at some point along the way, that's part of the fun! Open to any COD fandom, any character, any rating. Just please add appropriate trigger tags if needed.

Sentence #1: "It was six minutes after midnight."

Tagging: @angelsarewatching , @mikk1n , @efingcod , @tokillamockingbird427 , @witchhourly ,@voidblvk , @vvh1sk3y ,@flatlinedgamer , @satan-incarnate-666 , and @lisbetadair .

Last reminder - you don't have to be tagged to play and you don't have to play if you were tagged. Happy Haunts everyone!

Sticky Delight

Echo - “Sticky” September 3rd Prompt Scene

This is simply the first few paragraphs of this scene! You can find the full version on my website, which I have included down below and can also be found on the pinned post of my blog.

Echo scowled at the disappointing glob she was trying to call pudding. She had spent the last two hours trying to make this chocolatey delight to no avail. She was no chef, she knew that, but one would think an elite soldier could make something as simple as chocolate pudding! She looked over at the tablet again, scrolling through the directions again. She was sure she had followed them to the t, but for whatever reason, the results didn’t correlate that. She wondered where she was going wrong. Was she boiling it for too long or maybe not long enough? Not enough egg yolk? Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of trudging footsteps and a drawn out sigh. She turned around to see a man entering the kitchen. She froze. He froze. They both froze, having not expected to find someone else sneaking into the kitchen for a late night snack excursion. Fudge.

“Uhhh…Echo, right?” The man asked, uncertainty etched into his handsome features. Echo eyed the mohawk before meeting his blue eyes with a nod.

You can find the full version released on my website (link featured at the bottom) under the same scene name! Website featured below and is also pinned on my profile.

PLEASE REBLOG, COMMENT, SHARE, etc! It’s very much appreciated! Thank y’all!
