#or murtagh and felix

[emoboybattle]

Any funny submissions?

Glad you asked 😈

[damnyoureyes-weasley]

The amount of characters that sprang to mind 😭

How can this character be dead, if there are 40k stories on AO3 telling me otherwise?

[capillata]

looking good for a weekend update re: The Beast that Chose Its Own Bridle but a word of warning, it really is just like 6k of Murtagh getting absolutely served by two friends for abandoning Felix in the middle of intense subdrop. 

That’s it, that’s the chapter. It turns out one of my favourite things to write atm is ‘you fucked up oh god you fucked up look at it, you took a perfectly good wizard and gave it anxiety’

(not that felix was ever mentally sound but look i)

[incorrectdol]

Murtagh: [To Felix] You have no idea how many inconvenient boners you have caused.

[boyneriver-fraser]

What’s in a name? What might have inspired Outlander’s episode titles?

Oxford Dictionary of English

noun: providence

1 the protective care of God or of nature as a spiritual power

they found their trust in divine providence to be a source of comfort

2 timely preparation for future eventualities

it was considered a duty to encourage providence

studyjesus.com

It may seem surprising that the KJV of the Bible, along with the ASV and NASB, contains only one passage where the word “providence” is used. This verse speaks of “providence” with reference to worthy deeds done for the people by the Roman governor, Felix (Acts 24:2). The NRSV and NIV read “foresight” (the Greek noun is ‘pronoia’ = “forethought, provident care,” from the verb ‘pronoeo’ meaning “to foresee, provide for”). The NIV New Testament does not contain the word “providence.” The NIV Old Testament has the word in only one place. Job said concerning God, “You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in Your providence watched over my spirit” The Hebrew is ‘pequddah’ meaning “to attend, to visit” (Job 10:1).

Holy Bible (King James Version), Acts 24: 1-4

1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

Holy Bible (New International Version), Job 10: 1-12

1 “I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.

2  I say to God: Do not declare me guilty, but tell me what charges you have against me.

3  Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the plans of the wicked?

4  Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?

5  Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man,

6  that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin—

7  though you know that I am not guiltyand that no one can rescue me from your hand?

8  “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?

9  Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?

10  Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,

11  clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?

12  You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.

Everyone’s having the most cathartic bitch sesh of their lives and then you hear the bell above the door ring and it gets dead quiet as Durza, King Bradley, Felix (I guess he counts for Tex), Wesker and Tarkin walk in to have their weekly pool club.

Everyone stares at each other for a looooong moment. Murtagh, who somehow ended up being roped into bartending that night, just calmly walks out.

Arya holds up a finger, unholsters a pistol, unloads it and pops the round from the chamber, puts it on the table and spins it.

It ends up pointing at Tex.

Arya passes the ammo off silently.

Tex stands up, and turns around.

This is not an unusual occurrence. They planned this.

So, MIC!Arya, Remake!Jill Valentine, Leia, RvB’s Tex, and Riza Hawkeye all walk into a bar…

fic rec meme: 2019 edition

Rules: Post links (Ao3, ff.net, etc.); specify fandom/pairing/etc; don’t answer the same fic twice - spread the appreciation; tag other people; you don’t have to answer all the questions, but leave them in the list so the next person can answer if they want.

I was tagged by I think a couple people - @aphrodaisyacs and @aninfinitenumberofmonkeys. I’m going to try to keep this pretty short because I have a tendency to go on and then not finish these kinds of things because I overwhelm myself. 

I also cheated a bit on a few (a lot) of these because I read a lot of really good fic this year. And tried to include some recs I haven’t seen from others in my circle/fics I don’t see recced that often (though that’s not true of all of them).

I also shuffled things around so I didn’t repeat them, though a lot of these could be included in more than one category.

1. Favourite complete fic you’ve read this month (multiple chapters/parts): I did not read a single complete multichapter fic this month. Meant to, but didn’t do it.

2. Favourite complete fic you’ve read this month (one-shot): The mirror has a mirror in its teeth by deadendtracks. Peaky Blinders, Tommy/Lizzie, messy as hell in the way that I love.

3. Favourite WIP you’ve read this month: But I’ve read so many good WIPs this month. I’ll go with Contraction by NamelessDragon, MCU, Loki/Bucky, sequel to Compression (also amazing), which I’m finally catching up on after being stuck on reading almost everything for months.

4. One fic/series you’ve read which you keep coming back to again and again: (those yesterdays bleeding through by wnnbdarklord (MCU, time loop set during The Dark World) comes to mind, as, of course, does Bargaining by proantagonist (alas! for its vanishing), but to pick one that kept coming up this year I’m going to have to go with the nine in the tree by bereft_of_frogs, MCU, Thor & Loki-centric, post-Ragnarok AU.

5. Most underrated fic you’ve read this year: It feels like cheating to do this for a small book fandom, but you know what? My small book fandoms deserve more love. Based on lowest kudos I’m going to go with that he on dry land loveliest liveth by skyvehicle, Lymond Chronicles, post-Pawn in Frankincense. 

6. Most underrated fic you’ve read EVER: God, I don’t know. Again, it would be a small book fandom. You know? Because it deserves it and I love it and it probably is the most underrated fic, if only because it’s in a tiny fandom - In Memoriam by Tedronai, Malazan: Book of the Fallen, I love grief/mourning fic.

7. Favourite whump/angst fic of the year: This was tough since this is the genre I read most of in general, but because I managed to get a lot of fics on here via other categories, I’m choosing Into the earth I trampled it down by deadendtracks, Peaky Blinders, grief/mourning featuring Polly and Tommy. This fic was ouch all around, and beautifully written, and excellently characterized, and just...well, I’m clearly going to be reading everything that deadendtracks writes from here on out.

But I’m also going to slide In Cold Blood by NamelessDragon (MCU, Loki & Bucky, canon divergence AU) on here too, because it just updated and it really is fantastic, and I am so excited for more. It has all my favorite tropes written all over it, and promises some truly excellent whump based on the writer’s history.

8. Favourite hurt/comfort fic of the year: Again, a category with a lot of faves, but I settled on Walked In These Quiet Hazes by ratsats, MCU, AU where Loki comes back from the dead and is majorly fucked up, as is most everyone else. It’s rough, and it’s beautiful. And calling it “hurt/comfort” is probably...well, it takes a while to get to the comfort, I can say that, but it’s worth it. 

9. Favourite fluff fic of the year: Did I. Did I read any fluff this year? I suppose some of the Good Omens fic I read probably qualifies, though it doesn’t feel like fluff to me so much as...comedy? Wait, I’ve got one: Love Wounds Me With Soft Pillows by verbaepuchellae, Lymond Chronicles, Francis/Philippa, post-Checkmate.

Oh yes, after I wrote this I found another one: such surpassing brightness by Handful_of_Silence, Good Omens, Crowley/Aziraphale. Beautifully inventive, and fits into a very specific genre I can’t get enough of.

11. Favourite smut fic of the year: Shockingly, I didn’t read a lot of smut this year. I’m going to go with The Beast That Chose It’s Own Bridle by thespectaclesofthor, Doctrine of Labyrinths, Felix/Murtagh, post-series, (less than) kink negotiation, WIP. 

Oh, and also Chains of Gold by Anonymous, Lymond Chronicles, Lymond/Gabriel, hoo boy. My glorious Lymond/Gabriel fic I received for Yuletide. I can’t wait to find out who wrote it so I can lie down on their doorstep and beg for them to write more like this.

10. Favourite gen fic of the year: The Thanos Problem by Ranowa, MCU, post-Ragnarok AU. Okay, this is technically a series, so sue me. I especially liked When the Hammer Falls.

12. Favourite fix-it fic of the year/ever: This might be the hardest one. I read a lot of fix-it fic this year. I wonder why. I’m going with “the year” because otherwise it is just far too overwhelming and I couldn’t choose.

After a lot of debate with myself, and by eliminating other fic by virtue of sliding it into other categories, I settled on two: the only soul I’ve ever saved by valkyrisms, MCU, Loki survives Infinity War fix-it. I overall got pretty quickly annoyed with the genre of Loki-and-Peter Parker fics, but this one was just...so good. The Peter voice was amazing, the working with Loki’s Jotun biology as part of the whump was inspired, it was well written as all of valkyrisms work is, and just...so good. 

The other (I told you I was cheating!) is Keep It In Your Sights Now by LuckyDiceKirby, Shades of Magic, Lila/Kell/Holland, fix-it fic. I needed this fic in two ways - the threesome it involves, and the fix-it it involves. Delivered on both.

13. Favourite crack-fic fic of the year: I really don’t read crack-fic anymore.

14. Favourite sick-fic this year: Castaway by ariaadagio, Lucifer, Chloe/Lucifer, is me cheating again because “sick-fic” it is only loosely, but I want to include it because it was very good. Though I think technically I reread it this year. Apparently I didn’t read much sick-fic? Weird.

15. Favourite kid-fic this year: Another thing I don’t read very often, and apparently this year (at least based on my bookmarks) don’t have a rec for. 

15. Fic this year which you didn’t expect to love as much as you do:  Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm, Good Omens, therapy fic. Okay, so, in premise and everything this did have “me” written all over it. But I certainly didn’t expect to find it, and I definitely didn’t expect it to be as good as it was, right down to making me love an OC (which is rare).

16. Fic which convinced you to ship a pairing: This is cheating because technically it was another fic on this list, but since I wouldn’t ship it without it I’m going to rec As much what it is as what it’s not by deadendtracks, Peaky Blinders, Tommy/Lizzie.

17. Favourite AU you’ve read this year: I slid some of my fix-it fics over here, because canon divergence AUs are my jam and maybe that wasn’t the intent of this question but I don’t care. 

After some debate with myself, and rereading several favorites, I’m settling on my fearful trip is done by valkyrisms, MCU, the one where Steve runs into an unexpected child of Thanos in Wakanda. It’s real good, you guys. And yes, this does mean that I’ve put two valkyrisms fics on this list and I’m not sorry.

18. Longest fic/series you’ve read this year: This one’s easy! Eden!verse by ImprobableDreams900, Good Omens, Crowley/Aziraphale, the first fic in the series made me cry more than anything I’ve read in years.

19. The last fic you’ve read: The last new fic I read, since I reread a bunch of new things on this list while I was sorting through what I was going to choose, was to prove they are not dead by alreadybroken.

20. Wildcard fic you haven’t mentioned but deserves a shout-out + why: I waffled back and forth between two fics and what the hell, you know what, I’m going with both. The first is Miles to Go by josiepug, Peaky Blinders, which satisfied my desperate Tommy whump itch (for a time, it’s back now); the second is Where Is the Power That Made Your Pride? by Drag0nst0rm, The Silmarillion, aka the one where Celegorm lives and things are still bad. Not an AU I knew I wanted, but I guess I’m not surprised. 

Bonus Category: 

Best horror fic: dark underground//violent sky by bereft_of_frogs, MCU, I can’t tell you more than that because it would spoil it. I love horror fic and I have missed it since leaving Supernatural fandom. This one scratched that itch and I’m still thinking about it. Maybe it’s time for a reread.

As usual, I’m sure I’ve missed/forgotten some faves. I always do. 

I...lord, I feel like most of the people I’d usually tag have already been tagged for this? If you’re a mutual of mine and you haven’t been, go for it! I’m always excited to see more recs.

Part II: Five Years Passed 

Winter slowly relinquished its grip on Fraldarius and gave spring its due. It was nearly Garland Moon, the rose bushes budding, when the news came.

Felix was out in the empty training yard, stretching, when Rodrigue found him. His expression was tight. “Felix,” he said, his tone too gentle. Felix spared him a curious glance before picking up his sword and assuming a fighting stance. “What is it?” “The Wave Runner came back into port earlier this morning.” Felix looked at his father, frowning. The Wave Runner was one of the ships in the small merchant fleet Dimitri departed with. “The captain told me they were attacked as they crossed the Whitehorn Sea. The Wave Runner managed to escape and return here, but the Prosperity was seized by the Dread Pirate Murtagh,” Rodrigue said. Felix went still, the sword hanging loosely in his grip. Words from their conversation last autumn rose in his memory: “He’s a vicious beast, like every other pirate.” “The Dread Pirate Murtagh never takes prisoners.” Not that Dimitri had anything but himself to offer a pirate in exchange for his life.

Haihai little ask, which character did you enjoy most writing, who do you relate to most, and who did you find hardest to write? It could include current wips as welll (mallory and mount cos im rlyy curious abt these boys)

Ps Underline is awesome!

I'm so glad you're enjoying Underline the Black!

Tbh I don't have one fixed answer to your question because it changes all the time! The character I enjoy writing the most is usually the one I'm writing right now, so it's definitely Efnisien. (Because like, if I stopped enjoying them the most I'd just write another character! So it used to be Gwyn, but it isn't anymore).

In terms of the hardest character, it's usually the characters I'm not writing the perspectives of, like Ash for example. I haven't written much from Mallory's perspective yet so I don't know much about him! And nothing from Lewis Mount's so I don't know much about him either.

The character's of mine that are hardest that I've written probably include Eran Iliakambar, and early on, Augus until I got the hang of him. I don't generally like writing characters that are very 'hard' to write though? So I don't often write them! I want the process of writing to feel like...fairly enjoyable, so I'm not looking for things to feel really difficult or impossible.

As for the characters I relate the most to over time, that changes a lot too! I relate to Gwyn a lot in The Nascent Diplomat, but less in other stories. And I relate to Efnisien more in Falling Falling Stars, but less in Underline the Black. So I think it's less about the character and more about what they're specifically dealing with!

It's so weird to think that Efnisien won't be my favourite character to write anymore one day, but I used to feel that way about Gwyn too! It's strange the way things can change.

Fandoms Abound!

I was tagged by @allmyfuckingobsessions to choose any three fandoms (in a random order) and answer the questions, then tag some friends. Thank you so much!

Tagging (no pressure!): @thevampirecat @itsybitsylemonsqueezy @brenli @captainkilly @shipsabound @ambrosiaswhispers @edourado @carry-the-sky

I’m choosing:

Orphan Black (Still waiting to watch the final season ☹️come on Amazon Prime)

Daredevil (I know I should pick The Punisher but I wanted to give this show some love)

Outlander

the first character you loved:

Cosima, Sarah, Felix, all in one fell swoop

Claire Temple. Honest to God, I did a rewatch of S1 recently and when she arrives in episode 2 it’s still the greatest

Claire and Jamie simultaneously 

the character you never expected to love so much:

Alison definitely grew on me

FRANK CASTLE LIKE GODDAMN THAT CAME TF OUT OF NOWHERE

Fergus, my sweet French child

the character you relate to the most:

Cosima, our senses of humor are pretty similar

Karen, and Foggy too

Claire because I too, am done with patriarchal bullshit

the character you’d slap:

RACHEL DUNCAN GET YOUR GODDAMN SHIT TOGETHER

MATT MURDOCK GET YOUR GODDAMN SHIT TOGETHER

BLACK JACK YOU CAN GO TO HELL BUT YOU’RE PROBABLY ALREADY THERE ALSO FUCK YOU LAOGHAIRE

three favourite characters (in order of preference):

Cosima, Sarah, Felix

Karen, Frank, Foggy

Jamie, Claire, Murtagh

a character you liked at first but don’t anymore:

Delphine was fine but then Season 3 happened and I wasn’t feeling it. DON’T SPOIL SEASON 5 FOR ME

It’s so hard to love you Matt but you’re a dummy

Gellis is just one crazy bitch, I love it on occasion but she is nutty

a character you did not like at first but now do:

I wasn’t crazy about Paul but he was just doing what he thought was right and he protected Sarah in the end

So it’s not that I didn’t like Karen, I just didn’t know what to make of her but after killing Welsey I was like damn, girl is grey and Iove it

I was iffy toward John Grey but he ended up not being such a bad person (at least for now...)

three otps:

Sarah/Cal and yeah this is not really a shipping show so that’s all I got (and in all honesty, my ships are pretty minimal when it comes to these three shows)

KASTLE, also I like Foggy/Marci and I “kind of” like Matt/Elektra

Uh Claire and Jamie, what other reason do you have for watching?

Bob Willis Trophy: Hampshire need 98 more runs to beat Middlesex

Felix Organ’s most productive figures are 5-25 in opposition to Surrey at the Ageas Bowl final September

Nonetheless, his dismissal introduced about a clatter of wickets, with Eskinazi (29) top-edging a sweep into the hands of deep square leg in Organ’s subsequent over and Martin Andersson (12) neatly yorked by Fuller (two for 58).

A blinding utilize at duvet by change Brad Wheal removed Nathan Sowter (3) to reward Holland (two for 39) for his neat spell, while Organ additionally trapped John Simpson lbw for 23 earlier than returning to purchase two more wickets submit-tea.

Murtagh (8) registered a few boundaries off Barker to make a selection the Middlesex total above 200 earlier than edging the left-armer to 2nd toddle, leaving Hampshire to face 26 overs forward of stumps.

Organ and Joe Weatherley – who top scored with 98 in Hampshire’s first innings – made in trend development until James Harris produced the breakthrough in his first over, tempting Organ (10) to prod at an outswinger.

Left-arm spinner Thilan Walallawita matched that feat by having Tom Alsop (13), who had gorgeous survived a inspiring likelihood to short leg, caught initially toddle with his fifth offer to dart away Hampshire 48-2.

However Weatherley (23 no longer out) and Northeast (8 no longer out) batted sensibly until the shut, bringing the target all the plot down to gorgeous 98 going into day four.

i gotta edit Fae Tales today but all i wanna do is skive off and write my Doctrine of Labyrinths fic because we’re getting closer to Felix’s first meltdown and I just want wait for Murtagh to be like ‘WAIT I CAN FUCK UP SOMETIMES WAIT I FUCKED UP OH SHIT hang on why did this happen what the fuck was the trigger’ 

probably not next chapter but the chapter after that

i love how naive Murtagh is in this fic. like he knows so much about what he does, but like, he has no mental scope for someone like Malkar, or Keeper (not Keeper, the other one, oh god I do have go to back and reread don’t I), and i think he just... ‘oh no Felix has been through bad things’ really only covers about 5% of those bad things, especially since i think Felix assumes that Murtagh has guessed nearly all of it, lmao. 

okay okay but i gotta edit Fae Tales first.
