Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality

Aziraphale had, on several occasions*, persuaded Crowley to take over his angelic duties. When it is his turn to be Crowley's stand-in, he tempts impoverished students** to make splurges on books at Amazon.



* Rare books & manuscripts auction
** A month down the road, they discover they're the recipient of a small grant that they don't remember applying for.

What I've written for this meme so far (a flospy, a drabblet & three 100-word drabbles):

- Three facts about Aziraphale from my personal canon/fanon [Good Omens, 129 words]
- A reason Aziraphale is awesomecakes [Good Omens, 60 words]

- The last dream Dog had [Good Omens]

- Four people Chekov never fell in love with, and one person he did [Star Trek: XI]
<-- Awkward sentence construction is awkward.

- Three facts about Spock from my personal canon/fanon [Star Trek: XI]

No Kirk/Spock yet because they're 100 words each. I'm a drabble writer, not a miracle worker. (Except if I skip several years ahead in the timeline, I suppose.)

writing_game pimp in the words of the ever estimable benebu:

Come and play, write us a one sentence, 100 words drabble (Prompt for letter Z);
live dangerously and Stain the Dangerous Adonis' shirt (Player's Choice, Box A);
take a Hike with your Intern, and (un)Button him (Player's Choice, Box D),
or simply Play That Funky Music over and over again (Songs table).
Any fandom or original verse is welcome.

I'm gearing myself up to write a Merlin reincarnation* fic. Well, the first three sentences, at any rate.
And, because I have a Fixation With The Age of Fifteen**, Merlin's 15 and Arthur's 18.

* I'm undecided on whether reincarnation fic = AU or not, but I'm writing it anyway.
** I lived in Interesting Times when I was 15. I recognize that other people don't necessarily have their Interesting Times coincide with their 15th year =P

Oh the indignities.

This reminds me of this Smallville/Superman fanfic where Clark tried out being human (thanks to the A.I.) and felt Deeply Betrayed because papers aren't supposed to hurt you >=/

Which in turn reminds me of Yomiko Readman/"The Paper" from Read or Die, haha.

1. skellerbvvt has updated Citrus with a loooong chapter two! *shortcircuits* \o/

2. yue_ix's Dark!Merlin series:

2 a. No shades of grey: fingers (PG-13, kinkme_merlin prompt "Arthur/Merlin, Arthur sucking on Merlin's fingers")
2 b. No shades of grey: branches (Merlin, and an Irish Elk, my prompt "Merlin as a wild boy/man of the woods.")

3. Merlin S2 shooting:

- Is that Gwen? O_o This woman that [SPOILER] is hugging? Nvm. Can't believe I didn't realize it's Morgana.
- Pretty gleaming horses *_*

4. why_me_why_not wrote an eclectic of drabbles/flopsies:

4 a. A is for Alien Overlord, Dean and Luna (HP)
4 b. P is also for Princeling, Edmund/Caspian (Narnia)
4 c. W is for Wardrobe Peter/Draco (Narnia/HP crossover)
4 d. G is for Godfather, Dresden/Marcone (Dresden)

5. H/D and manga collide:

5 a. dampfnudl's Little Prince (G, Draco & Doll!Harry)
* Little Draco is v. Gothic Loli-shota Aristocrat in this.
* The only non-creepy Japanese doll story is Clamp's Angelic Layer. This needs to be said.

5 b. You Are My Sunshine (G, butler!Draco wrapping a scarf around Harry's neck)
* H/D-ers recognize the art style, of course.
* AHAHAHAH OMG 70s Manga Art X-D *dies* The roses, the roses! And the shape of the face!
Am I the only one who've read all the ballerina!Mari-chan series? There were at least a dozen permutations, I swear.

Merlin to-do: ( Read more... )

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

(After I have an LJ, that is. Didn't bother saving links before LJ.)

Originally a tl;dr comment on syllic's post.

1. Don't you wish we have glasses that serve as a computer screen, and it tracks our eyeball movements so it scrolls down automatically as we read fanfic discreetly everywhere?
On the train, on the bus, in the car and on the road. In the market, on the run, in those meetings that're ho-hum.

2. I personally can't get into fanfic if I know zilch about the original source (Smallville and Merlin don't count because d-uh, everyone knows smth about Superman and King Arthur). Because fanfic always assumes some prior knowledge of canon.
And I need to know who is this Castiel guy and what is he doing sexxing up Dean, and is this Castiel person taller than Sam, older than sin, and have pretty pouty lips? And does he have wings? Is he an angel, a devil, incubus, what?
(Am not in the SPN fandom. Only watched the first four eps of SPN. Gave up.)

3. You should read Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief, The Queen of Attolia & The King of Attolia. It's children's book/YA/history-religious fantasy/THIEF. Because they are awesome (as awesome as Good Omens, in a different genre kind of way) and you can read them ON THE TRAIN/BUS/SUBWAY/PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

Multi-fandom recs grouped by fandoms: ( HP, Smallville, Good Omens )

(...and AUs Have I Loved)

No matter which fandom it is, I always have a soft spot for well-written AU fics.

There's the medic!Merlin-and-crownprince!Arthur contemporary fic (Merlin),
the Wooster-is-a-girl fic (Jeeves and Wooster),
the Hikaru-is-a-Private-Eye fic (Hikaru no Go),
the Roy-is-the-Elric-brothers'-slave fic (Full Metal Alchemist),
the Tezuka-and-Fuji-own-a-brothel-in-ancient-Japan fic (Prince of Tennis)...

- the one in which Aziraphale and Crowley are Ezra and Tony, two Jewish h00manz:

Ordinary People by daegaer

I also adore daegaer's WW1!Crowley fics. She also opened up the possibilities of Hastur/Ligur for me >=D

- the one in which Lex Luthor has numerous superhero identities:

Elseworlds (or Five Secret Identities Lex Luthor and Clark Kent Never Had) by bagheera_san
Part One: Old Friends (Xavier!Lex & Magneto!Kal-El)
Part Two: Two Sides Of A Coin (Two-faced!Lex i.e. w00bie ;_;)
Part Three: I Shall Become (Batman!Lex, Nightwing/Robin!Clark)
Part Four: Escape Velocity (Flash!Lex)

bagheera_san also wrote a GreenLantern!Lex snippet.

Anyway, I've been hankering for some HP fanfic that's SRSLY AU for days now. I'm gulping down lomonaaeren's Inter Vivos but it's nowhere enough to appease my AU yearnings.
Serious AU, folks, not just this EWE business. You're not going to let me resort to reading Saving Connor, are you? D:

There's my BoyWhoLived!Draco plotpanda, but it's not the same when it's the product of one's own brain. Besides, the notebook in which my dracolives notes live is currently MIA *makes sad faces*

Any AU fic? Preferably Draco-centric? *shakes fandom hopefully* Please?

Or, lilian_cho's Christmas list

1. The inevitable HP crossover in which Merlin is the DADA professor and is having a tumultuous affair with Snape. (It's like Snarry with a reverse power struggle!) ((Not that I like Snarry))

2. The one where Albus Severus Potter is visited by the Slash Dragon (no lie!) and told to raise hatchlings with Scorpius Malfoy because it is Their Destiny.

3. James Sirius Potter is the reincarnation of Prince Arthur because it is not enough that he was named after two dead people, nope.

4. A Good Omens crossover in which Crowley eggs on Uther to execute Merlin, and Aziraphale was too busy improving Geoffrey of Monmouth's library to help.

5. The one where Merlin has iridescent ejaculate--because of the high magical content, see?--and that's how Arthur finds out he's magical, haha (Smallville fandom has 'em--why not Merlin fandom?)

*. In Which the Metal Bunny Mask on Gaius' desk is possessed by an evil spirit! >=D (a la Donnie Darko)

I need to upload my Merlin icons.

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.

+ The things my brain came up with (see above)
+ toothless baby grin
+ pregnant friend =DDD
+ warm feet (kotatsu yay \o/)
+ my pwetty pwetty desktop wallpaper (Merlin/Arthur fanart)
