Merlin: Character Motivation snippet

This icon is strangely appropriate! This snippet was written for puckling, who requested for something set in the moody crackfest that is the Character Motivation universe. 287 words, rated PG. No warnings or spoilers.

( whatever gets you through the day )

Merlin: Land & Bread

allothi listed a few things I would never write. One was "King Arthur and Queen Gwen conquering the rest of Albion because those other monarchs obviously don't treat their people the way a civilised leader should." Well, I sure showed her!

Land & Bread
521 words. Rated PG. Warnings: a head on a pike?

( They execute the king in the center of town for all his people to see. )

Skins in Narnia!: vignette

Originally written for the round-robin commentfic party. Chris, Jal, Anwar, and Cassie stumble across a strange place indeed. I, uh, kind of want to make this full-length?

Rated PG, no spoilers or warnings. Crack. 133 words.

( You told us Cass was just pilled up! )

RPF(/Narnia): A Band Apart snippet

Utter crack, partly the fault of girlchild. Lucy Liu, Uma Thurman, and Quentin Tarantino are in Narnia receiving gifts from Father Christmas. idk, maybe they dropped too much acid at the Kill Bill afterparty. I also kind of want to see this go full-length. 144 words, rated PG, no spoilers/warnings.

Merlin: futurefic

Written for the prompt "For you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky" at Memetime with Mordred & Morgana. PG13, 285 words. Futurefic. Mordred and Merlin are determined to end each other, and Morgana is determined to stop them.

TO SLEEP NO MORE

So I guess it's official for the time being: whynot is my repository of ficcish errata e.g. commentfic, meme responses, etc. Every so often, I will compile a list here of new things I've posted there.

( List of things I've posted there! )

I love that I finally get to put these icons to work. I love my DW icons! If ever I decide to become fandom Voldemort bent on fandom immortality, these icons would be my horcruxes. So-called mentors! Gaiusface! WILL BEING OPPRESSED. And Peter/Susan of the keysmash variety. Yessss.

VID REC TIME, because I've watched this next one four times now and it fills me with feeeeeeeelings every time, holy shit.

Waking World - It's about Morgana and Gwen and the men they loved who failed them. This vid is incredibly well-constructed. Meticulous attention to detail for maximum levels of verklempt! I WAS ALL LIKE, "Uther & Morganaaaaaa D: D:" and like "OMG MORGANA" then like "Arthur Gwen Lancelot D: D:" and like "GWEN OMG" then like "GWEN OMG" and then I was all "HOLY SHIT, LADIIIIIIES" and then THE ENDING HAPPENED and I am like <3333 :-O :-O <33333345. It breaks your heart then sets you freeee.

Despite itself, the vid has put me in the mood for gritty Arthur/Morgana and tragic Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot. Hmm.

By the same vidder, there is If You Were Gay, which is that song from 'Avenue Q'. Vidding Merlin and Arthur to this is perfect and hilarious (omg the VOICES and the FACES) and oh how I giggled. PERHAPS I EVEN CHORTLED.

In conclusion: amerlinworld. It's like A Softer World, but with more 'Merlin'!

FINALE, then essay and Yuletide. Yes.

THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE, FOLKS. WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY SATURDAYS NOW.

Plot Bunny #479743: Reincarnation fic about Will and old man Simmons, where what happens in each life is that Simmons tries to catch him but Will always escapes. Simmons will never catch Will despite his neverending efforts, but we must assume Sisyphus is happy. Will is like the Road Runner to Simmons's Coyote. The Peter Pan to Simmons's Hook? The Jerry to his Tom? It is a little tragic and a little absurd, but in a way it is all either of them really need. It is perhaps not a hunt, but a ritual. Maybe in one life, Will and Simmons can be allowed a moment to meet over coffee or whatever, but in the end the chase must continue, as it always has before.
