There are some things you should check out.

1. FIC: Fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda by [livejournal.com profile] alice_pike. Narnia, Golden Age, Edmund/Lucy, PG13. BIOMEFIC. Which, okay, isn't a real term, but you know how 'and sometimes you hear the silence speak' is like, "Deserts!!" and 'The Light of a Different Sun' is all, "The tropics!" This fic is like, "THE ARCTIC," and it is so. Fucking. Incredible. You guys. Edmund and Lucy are Arctic explorers, just read it.

2. THINGATHON: All hail the Gwen/Morgana Thingathon (Week 1)! Before you can post a prompt, you must answer a prompt, and it doesn't have to be fic. It can be icons! It can be fanart! Whatever!

3. SNOOP DOGG

4. CHEESE, EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH

5. RAMADHAN: starts in like two weeks, and eid_ka_chand (and maybe [livejournal.com profile] eid_fic?) needs YOU to make some fic/meta/picspam/whatever about Muslim characters. I'm, uh, lapsed, but since Islam has informed who I am and is a part of my family and culture, I'll be playing in that sandbox when the time comes 'cos -- and I'm gonna quote [livejournal.com profile] dhobikikutti here -- "[c]elebrating Eid is personal for me because it is a festival I share with friends and relatives, but wanting to see more characters like them in fandom is political. Because I think that fiction has enormous possibilities for inciting change in how we define 'normal', and whom we learn to love and care for despite differences in culture."

The call to action! The list of Muslim characters! Set this on percolate, guys.

...Okay, so I'm scrolling down that list of Muslim characters and, under 'TV Shows', I SEE: THE ADVENTURES OF SINBAD. omg. WHO REMEMBERS THIS SHOW.

Quoth TV Tropes, "The story followed the adventures of a caucasian Sinbad, his older brother Doubar, Firouz the alchemist, the mute Rongar, and Celtic sorceress Maeve."


Where to begin.

So anyway, I totally read Adventures of Sinbad fic and shipped Sinbad/Maeve. MY DARK PAST.


IN OTHER NEWS. The "Will lives!" Merlin AU is bugging me to pay attention to it. Ask me questions about it or give me prompts or something, because I want to flesh it out some. THE STORY SO FAR: he returns with them to Camelot. Also, ask me questions/give me prompts about Gaius? Because he's been niggling too.

The mood graphic is appropriate in every way and I <3 it. You know what else I <3? [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil, whose birthday it is today! This one's for you, girl! You came this close to getting Marx/Engels, but Merlin and Will's bucolic bromance won out in the end. Yay? Take that, commies!

I almost used "or did i hear you sing/that we'll end where we begin" as the cut-text. It's from the song 'I Understand It' by Idlewild (lyrics!, listen/download!), which accidentally became my Merlin&Will song when I was browsing my music library for title inspiration. This song has always been able to do funny things to my heart, but with the added Merlin&Will associations, it's a verklempt party up in here.

Halcyon Days
Merlin. Merlin, Will, Hunith, aaand... Old Man Simmons! PG. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] stealingpennies for the beta.
Merlin and Will from the past to the beginning.

The magic used to go from within him to outside of him without bothering to consult his brain. This resulted in things like The Potato Incident and That One Time With The Geese. )
