Fun Little WIP Game

I got tagged by @colubrina -- thank you!!! I too, love getting tagged in stuff :) However, I only have one major WIP at the moment. LOL

RULES: post the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and tag as many people as you have wips! * Betrayal- Kill Shot (And that's not even the real title. LOL)

I'll tag @melsanfo since she's been the one I run to when I'm stuck on an idea or chapter moving forward.

So, wanted to get some hiatus rec lists going and encourage some self promo  in my friends so how about sharing your top fics no matter how big or  small - give us the links to your wonderful words with the Most hits/Most kudos/Most comments/Most bookmarks /Most words/Least words

Most hits, kudos & bookmarks: It Runs in the Family (Teen, Iron Man/Arrow crossover) Felicity Stark is the best of her parents. But becoming vice-president of a brand-new division of Stark Industries and moving to Starling City will test her in ways she never thought possible. Especially when a masked vigilante in green leather crosses her path. An Arrow/Iron Man crossover.

Most comments: Two Men, Same Name (Mature, Arrow, co-written with @melsanfo) Oliver Queen's path in life is set in stone. Suffocating under the high expectations of his parents while running a company he’s barely interested in. Still, he never fails to disappoint his parents, even when he’s on his best behavior. He’s supposed to settle down, marry well and follow in his father's footsteps, without stepping an inch out of place . . . until a red streak with yellow lightning changes his life forever.

Most words: Two Sides of the Same Coin (Mature, Chuck, 161,930 words) When you're a spy, there's all kinds of occupational hazards when you work with another spy. For Sarah Walker, though, one mission becomes a life-changing experience. Because working with Charles Carmichael leads to protecting Chuck Bartowski.

Least words: the disaster lineage vs. the coolaster lineage (G, Star Wars, 390 words) A different take on Twilight of the Apprentice . . . a louder take.

And for the fics I'm also proud of:

The Point (Teen, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. Just how did Buffy become the Slayer we see in The Wish?

heads-up display (G, Star Wars) Darth Vader throughout the Original Trilogy, as described by the readouts and warnings in his heads-up display.

Ready at Your Hand (Teen, Chuck) In the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, a Catholic plot against the queen comes to the attention of spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham. To protect Elizabeth, he develops an unusual plan: hide the passing of intelligence between two agents by a false romance. When Lady Sarah Walker and Chuck Carmichael meet, though, their pretend flirtation becomes much more.

Slipping Away (G, Doctor Who) She knows something is wrong.

Today's Inspirational Message (Teen, Veronica Mars) One version of Logan's summer.

Honestly, I love all my fics--so if anything catches your attention on my AO3 works page, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

And if anyone else wants to participate, consider yourself tagged.

Rios (Picard) and Brienne Tarth (GoT) Rip it or Ship it.

You know, Rios and Jaime have some similar characteristics. They’re both jaded nihilists who’ve been let down by the people they idolized and therefore no longer believe in heroism until they meet someone who renews their faith in humanity. I’m gonna go Ship it!

Hey there. I saw your message on Mel Loves All page. I was wondering if you have any pricing you're already set on, like per word or ballpark figures?

Hi there, thanks for reaching out!  (And thanks @mel-loves-all for sharing my post!) I do have some general pricing, but it depends on the type of work needed, scope of project, if it’s a rush, etc. We can discuss further in a private message if there’s something you need assistance with. I’ll be happy to help you!

Season finales are really hard like how do the show writers expect us to survive the drought of not having a show ro obsess about?

Who is your favourite person to talk to on tumblr?

@sarahoftarth @melsanfo @julieoftarth @seaspiritwrites @wackygoofball @weirddreamergirl @ashleywritesstuff @lesbians-love-samwilson @heatherfield @lauraann1013 @sarcasm-for-free @kickassfu

I do alot of talking to my favorite people. Some of them know me irl and we keep in touch off Tumblr. And occasionally we chat here. I don't have a favorite person because I love them all very much and all are the loveliest of ladies. And we may not chat daily but I enjoy talking to them so much.

I'd love to have more lovely people to talk to but I'm shy af and a big ball of anxiety so I don't reach out to others as much.

There are a lot more lovely people I enjoy talking to, lovely nonny.

Rules: put your entire library on shuffle and name the first 5 songs and your favorite lyrics in those songs (if it doesn’t have lyrics, shuffle once more!)

OK, so I’m a big theater nerd who almost exclusively listen to showtunes, so...

1) Goodnight My Someone (Music Man) - “Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be. Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.” 

2) Seasons of Love (Rent) “Measure your life in love.” 

3) Wait for It (Hamilton) “I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable I am an original.” 

4) I Still Believe (Miss Saigon) “I know as long as I can keep believing, I'll live.“

5) The Wizard and I (Wicked) “Unlimited, my future is unlimited. And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy. I know - it sounds truly crazy. And true, the vision's hazy. But I swear, someday there'll be a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with me!”

Hooker Prince AU-

Fire in Our Gazes

Killian Jones x Prince James

He was enjoying the night, drinks were flowing on the fact he was the Prince, and despite how the coffers were running dry still he enjoyed himself to the fullest. 

He hated his responsibility, he wanted something else. He simply felt empty. Life had less meaning of late, he wanted...adventure. Yet his father kept him within the bounds of the kingdom. Wanting him to act with decorum and grace. He thinks it too boring. 

The man in the corner seemed to be eyeing him up and down. He wasn't into men as much as he was into a good time. James would go over and see what the man wanted. 

Taking his ale he sat opposite this man, with his leather and tunic gaping to show of his chest covered with hair and muscle. He smelt of sea and sweat. The kohl on his eyes made him look dangerous. Though the blue iris' made it seem like he was looking into the waves of the elusive ocean.

"Pray tell, Pirate, what you want? I might be able to give it to you," he said with a smirk. 

The pirate leaned in, a flash of silver caught his eye, one hand hand of flesh and one of silver. The netourious Captain Killian Jones then,"I think we can make a deal, Princeling. A good time for...something you have in your possession, a magic bean. Tales of your raid have reached far across the Kingdoms. Or rather your stupidity." 

Anger raged inside him, but more than that...a flash of desire. 

"I have a bean. If you can make good on your promise of a good time, Captain," he enjoyed the flash of ire in those oh so soulful blue eyes. He wasn't new to trickery, besides he had heard of the tales. A captain of legend. Maybe he would be like his tales, quick to end and lacking...substance. 

A long drink, and a game of eyes. The heat simmering underneath his skin, yet he refused to look away. It was a game of wills, who would look away first. James refused to look away, the pirate laughed and looked away to finish his drink.

Tossing coins on the table, the leather clad rouge stood. His eyes turned darker as their gazes relocked.

"If you're up for it, Princeling, I have every intention to follow through with our bargain. Unless your too much of a coward."

He drained the rest of his ale, slamming his empty cup down, rising to meet the man's challenge.

"After you...Captain," a flourish of his hand, a gesture for him to lead the way.

A smirk and the captian left, James following.

---

For @sarahoftarth, @melsanfo and @heatherfield. More to come.

No i do not take criticism on the ship name as they don't appear to have one.

Washboard Wednesday - We Deserve Nice Things Edition

So, Gumdrops, what happened this season? Where were the shirtless honeymoon hijinks? The showertime chats? The waking up in the morning and discussing married things while missing pajamas? To summarize -- why did Oliver Queen wear so many damn clothes this season?!  The answer is I don’t know. Honestly. Because we give the love. We do. We appreciate him for his mind and his heart very much, but every so often, it’s nice to get to appreciate the pretty wrapping, you know?

In a word -- we was robbed. I have a good mind to address this glaring issue with David Ramsey at HVFF London. If he’s going to be directing an episode next season, I think he should be made aware of the power he wields to satisfy us - his loyal squad. And after all, he is the patron of WBW.  

You deserve pretty, my friend, so as we wait for the final episode of S6 and anticipate all of the speculation about S7, I thought you might not mind a bit of nostalgia on your dash...a reminder of those heady days when we could be inspired and enthralled. Without further ado... I tried to make the first one beautiful for you. Well, extra beautiful because...lookie...

Yeah, I have been fiddling with removing the scars and marks in order to freshen up the images. Don’t worry. He still looks cold. 

Black and white. Rowr. 

Mmm. Smooth. 

Bless the gifmakers. Whomever you are...

Insert twins spec fic ideas here. You’re welcome. 

Never gets old. Nope. 

Happy Season Finale, my dears! 

If you would like to be removed or added to this list for Washboard Wednesday, Man Face Monday, and occasional other day posts of pretty, please let me know. I really hope the tags work this week. I know it’s spotty. Once again, please reblog if you think your followers will enjoy.

Meeting Berta pt2

Dwayne was silent as Jo answered, moving the topic away from the fate of the bus and on to her own reality. With the stillness of a Zen master, only his eyes moved, taking note of the way she bit her bottom lip, then cast his gaze down as her fingers traced lines of heat over his mouth. At her confession, he feigned a slow, steady breath. The pads of her fingers were like magic, drawing his desire closer and closer to the surface. A dangerous edge he had to work to keep in check, instead of leaping like the leopard on his jacket and devouring her in one bite.

This would be a slow and steady trek, like cutting a vein inch by inch with the tip of his claw while watching the blood pool as his mouth watered. It was a feral hunger. One that hadn’t been satisfied in years.

He pushed that desire back to hear her out, fully understanding where she was coming from, even if his fear was different from hers. At least she could tell him, whereas he couldn’t divulge everything he wanted to her.

His smile in response was warm and understanding, coffee-colored eyes serene and yet reaching for more as she pressed their palms together. He took initiative and intertwined their fingers, his attention darting back up to her face as she continued.

Inch by inch, her warmth closed in on him, taking over his personal space. He could feel the lump in the back of his throat causing him to swallow. The magnetism of her flesh pulling him in, and that sweet, sweet scent heightened by the rising pulse brought on by her quickening heart. He felt warmer than he had in a long time, even after feeding.

Oh, the things he could tell her. The things he could do to her.

“Could be dangerous,” he murmured, feathering her pout, edging just a little more around the beginning of that kiss to draw it out. “Leaving that mark…” his eyelids slipped closed, the angle of his head tilt adjusting slightly as the small gap between them was no more. A light, caressing lip lock ensued, along with a soft, wet pop each time he adjusted, bettering the angle to fully appreciate the sugary taste. His tongue reached for more when that wasn’t enough, all while secretly hoping her fingers would continue to play along the lines of his throat and chest.
