A reason Aziraphale is awesomecakes

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.

"You're such a romantic," Jeremy said, straightening up.



Fic-changing meme gacked from [info - livejournal.com]herohunter:
Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change -- something tiny or big -- and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

Most of my fanfics are AU anyway, but have at it! =D

My personal fav.s are:
1. tentacles, 3. French revolution
7. Salem witch trials, 11. pleasure slave, 13. transgender!Merlin
15. pirate!Merlin, 17. stowaway!Merlin
28. India, transgender!Merlin



Offer still open indefinitely: Throw me a character name or two!

You can comment on LJ or directly here )


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.)

The Durmstrang Letter (Another Place Remix) [Ron Weasley, 100 Words, G]

Ron would never admit this to anyone, not Harry and certainly not Hermione, but when he was ten he wrote a letter asking for admission to Durmstrang.

He never did send the letter. When the twins scared him with Giant Squid stories, he would picture that letter, tucked away in a chest under his bed with his old teddy.

Once sorted into Gryffindor, he forgot all about the letter until the Durmstrang delegation arrived for the Triwizard tournament.

He wouldn't trade his friendship with Harry for anything, but just imagine: he could've gone to the same school as Viktor Krum!



Remix of velvetmouse's The Letter for remixthedrabble. Audienced by roflolmaomg.



BTW, I think I'll actually enjoy the Ron/Lavender moments in HBP. Remember when your girlfriend would whine about wanting a boyfriend, because they want to feel cherished, etc. etc.? Yeah, getting those vibes from Lavender here.

- Hermione angsting over clueless Ron
- The Liar, the Underage Wizard and the Cabinet =D
- Luna looks even more otherworldly, if that's possible Love the peeling "Slide to open" sticker.

"one of my sons went to prison and the other has been shot, has killed a man,

and is currently running for his life," Ethan said, and now his voice was so incongruously pleasant as to be grotesque.



Star Trek XI recs:

1. [info] - livejournal.commidnight_city's [fanart] - star trek stuff

It's cute like a v. v. cute, LOLarious thing X-D
Guess the movies! (Hint: both by Pixar =3)
Kid!Spock in a Starfleet summer camp get-up is the BEST THING EVARR <333

2. [info] - livejournal.comhollycomb's Sulu/Chekov fics, which I'm totally all over, once I get over the reflexive tic of "Hikaru no Go! Touya Akira!" whenever I read Chekov calling Sulu "Hikaru" ^^;;
2a. Trouble Sleeping (Sulu/Chekov, R)
Summary: Sulu and Chekov sleep in the same bed, but they're never in it at the same time.
How they got together in the end. Sulu PINING. V. sweet <3

2b. Space Sickness (Sulu/Chekov, NC-17)
Summary: Chekov is sick, Sulu is lost on an alien planet, Kirk is a cockblock.
Established relationship. Sweet and h/c and atmospheric and just right *_*

2c. Theoretically (Sulu/Chekov, NC-17)
Summary: Sulu makes Chekov watch the classic American Terminator movies. Chekov has some thoughts.
I wanna watch the new Terminator movie because Anton Yelchin's in it, but apparently it's even more awful than T3? ^^;;

2d. If I Didn't Care (Sulu/Chekov, NC-17)
Summary: Kirk and Chekov have a harrowing experience together on a dangerous planet, and Sulu is definitely not jealous.

If you only have time to read two, read the first two. If you only have time to read one, read "Space Sickness."

Sulu pining *_* Chekov seducing Sulu >=D

3. [info] - personalrageprufrock's new WIP: Discourses in Management (Lab), pt 1/? (PG-13, for language)
Summary: “How’s it going?” the instructor asks, her voice a harmony, hovering nearby. / "Futilely,” Spock volunteers at the same time Jim says, “Shitty.”



In other news, even though Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) is a cheap, loli-shota knock-off of Kaori Yuki's Count Cain, I did enjoy the Bengali Prince arc, because no manga is complete without SURPRIZE appearance of South Asian/Middle Eastern/teeny European Kingdom royalty.

Also, can't help but be amused by the American chef (An American chef in a British household? lololol).

Okay, I lie, my fav. character is still the Bengali prince's servant.

Fandom meme & writing_game pimp

[info] - communitywriting_game pimp in the words of the ever estimable [info] - livejournal.combenebu:
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

"The Aftermath" (Merlin/Arthur drabble, PG-13 for violence)

The Aftermath (implied Merlin/Arthur, PG-13 for gore & implied violence) )

Answers [info] - livejournal.commerlin_flashfic's Nightmares and monsters challenge and [info] - communitymerlin100's dance prompt.



1. What Dreams by [info] - livejournal.comsuaine, PG
Summary: There was always a price. The balance of nature was transactional - one thing of a certain value required the sacrifice of equal value given up by the one who asked.
But Arthur never finished those thoughts, kept all of his heart locked up tight. Merlin knew what he was going to say anyway, knew of the way Arthur kept looking over his shoulder when he thought no one was watching. Arthur had nightmares, dreams of a world without him in it, all the more terrible for their warmth and muted beauty, hitting like a physical blow when he woke up.

2. [info] - livejournal.commerlin_flashfic's AU challenge will run until 22.00BST on Saturday the 13 June.

3. In lieu of #2, please answer this poll on AU Merlin fics =)

Shadow of the Templar rec & fav. non-spoilery snippets

Several of my post titles since April are quotes/snippets that have compelled three of you to wonder, "Who's Simon?"

Simon 'Templar' Drake is from Shadow of the Templar series, which some of you probably have heard about from [info] - livejournal.comsansa1970's rec last year. The series follows an FBI team and a world-famous jewel thief in a series of cases. The main pairing is Simon Drake (FBI team leader)/Jeremy Archer (thief). Banter, random geekery...oh and Archer is British =P What's not to love? ;-) Read more... )

Simon Drake aka Templar 29 y.o., 6'3", team leader, defender of the free world, an all-American middle-class boy from the Midwest.
* Good-looking and knows it >=D
* Repeatedly tell Archer point-blank that his job and his team members are way more important than him. Ouch. IDK why Archer doesn't just dump him. Oh right, because he is SO FINE.

Jeremy Archer aka Shadow aka 'James Crown', and dozens other aliases
27 y.o., 5'10", criminal, adversary, pain in the ass, British. Read more... )

Nathan 'Nate' Waxman aka Specs 28 y.o., 5'9", tech (hardware), bomb disposal, all-around mascot, a nice Jewish boy from New Jersey.
Has a crowbar with "Speak Friend And Enter" etched down the length of the grip. Read more... )

Michael 'Mike' Takemura aka Honda aka 'that crazy bastard' aka 'the loose cannon'
27 y.o., 6'1, undercover work, combat/tactical driving, general muscle, crazy
The Brooklyn-born son of a first-generation Japanese-American father and a mother of Hispanic descent.
* I just LOVE that his nickname is Honda. Not as bad as Toyota, but still. Read more... )

Sandra 'Sandy' Leone aka Springheel 28 y.o., 5'7", second-in-command, undercover work, general muscle
Came from old New England money. The best martial artist on the team. Have kicked Mike's ass so bad on numerous occasions.
* The only woman on Simon's team, but she doesn't feel like a token female character at all. Read more... )

Jonathan 'Johnny' Pilgrim aka Texas 33 y.o., 6'0", weapons wrangler, general muscle
Started his law enforcement career with the local police force.
* I like his interaction with Specs, mostly. So awesome protective =3 Like his jibes at Honda too. Read more... )

Richard 'Rich' Story aka Specs Two, 30 y.o., 5'6", tech (software), hacker-of-all-trades
A computer genius par excellence (and a nerd in the most classic socially-awkward sense). Native Seattleite.
* Total jerk to Archer, but you can't help but like him. Read more... )

[No spoilers. Just Spock] Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock Kirk Spock Spock Spock

I have to admit that I only watched Star Trek because of:
1) Sylar with eyebrows! and,
2) I want to read [info] - personalifyouweremine's pr0n

Like a gazillion other people have said, it was GLORIOUS.

I like every single character in that movie, and that _never_ happened to me before.
Yes, including the evil Romulan guy, who I found vaguely hot (which is understandable because he was played by Eric Bana, who played Hector in Troy).
I even like Spock's mother (didn't recognize Winona Ryder until her third appearance X-D)

[info] - livejournal.comruien shared ST canon tidbits with me, but I was all, "Uh-huh. Sylar with eyebrows! Spock Spock Spock!"
I should like BlondPratJerk!Kirk better, but I don't. It's the power ot the eyebrows!111

I want to cuddle ickle!Spock with his pretty eyes <333 Spock! Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock! Spock!
Ickle!Kirk was awesome too! And Kirk was as pretty as everyone said <333
Mind meld! Spock! Spock!
Kirk Senior was hot too! Alternate Reality! Spock!

I even love the canon het pairing =D =D =D

Hikaru Sulu! Gold power ranger! Fold-out sword! Fencing!
17 y.o. Chekhov OMGSoPrecious ^___^ "I can do it I can do it I can do it"

Eomer Karl Urban's stupid haircut makes me want to cry, but otherwise YAY Bones! Spock!

I'm going to watch it at IMAX later tonight =D =D =D
PSA: It's only playing in IMAX until this Thursday.

Bring on the fics where Kirk licks Spock's eyebrows MWAHAHAHAHA >=D

Boys' Night Out (Merlin/Arthur flashfic, PG-13)

In which Arthur stole Merlin's food, watched his DVD, took him out to a boring party and manoeuvred him to bed (to sleep).

★ All-in-one beta & Britpicker: [info - personal]lilithilien
☆ The first version won third place at [info - livejournal.com]armer_gayms' Bro Code challenge.

☆ 555 words. Or 731. It's all relative.
★ Borrowed the varying flashfic length from [info - livejournal.com]b_hallward's Increments (Merlin/Arthur)--am not the genius that came up with it. The 5, 10, 20, ..., 100 words structure fits what I have in mind, didn't mean to steal ^^;;

I just got two papercuts from opening junk mail.

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

2. [info]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. [info]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.

One hundred words of awesome: remixthedrabble

[info]isiscolo's Remixy meta (for [info]remixthedrabble):
The great thing about very short forms is that at their best they concisely express one single idea. A true drabble has to encapsulate set-up, crisis, and punchline in a mere hundred words. So it's a natural transformation, I think, to take a story and distill it into its essence, when one has only a few hundred words to work with - I think it's easier to get sidetracked when you need to write a longer story.

I've signed up both as remixer and remixee =) It's a Drabble Purist Round this time.

If the idea of remixing intrigue you at all, consider offering your fic up to be remixed. You don't have to write anything to have someone else remix your fic. (You only need to have written five drabbles in one fandom to qualify!)
- The sign up to write (remixers)
- The sign up for offering fiction (remixees)

Sign-ups for [info]remixthedrabble are open until midnight Central US time on Monday, May 11th.



1. Vote for your favorite late slytherin100 drabble =D

2. [info]slytherin_100's current prompt, Seal, is open until May 21st. The Fly prompt is open until May 14th. Feel free to combine the two prompts.

Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s (Scorpius fanart, PG-13)

Title: Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s
Pairings/Characters: Scorpius, implied AS/S
Rating: PG-13 for crossdressing
Warnings/Kinks: skinny boy in a skirt
Medium: pencil; smudges cleaned in Photoshop
Summary: Draco muses that it's karma for making Crabbe and Goyle polyjuice as little girls. Lucius thinks his legs look better when he was younger. Narcissa just wants a cup of tea.
Artist's Notes: Won the Golden Squid for Truth In Advertising at [info]hp_april_fools *g*
n00b drawing mistakes fixed by my art beta, rea_saint. The leather upholstery belongs to him (the idea of it, that is, not the physical object.) If I'm not lazy I would turn this into a lineart and beg someone to color it. Unlikely to happen, but if someone has advice on how to turn sketches into linearts, I'm all ears.

Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s )



1. This is the picture that, two months back, I was sketching and thinking, "You know who's skinny? Merlin!"
I want a modern-day!AU where Merlin's an underwear/swimsuit model and Arthur's a photographer, and it's for a borderline soft pr0n magazine. And Arthur's giving Merlin half-breathy directions, and Merlin's getting turned on and his eyes gleamed gold.
Whoops, didn't mean to go the anthropomorphic dragon route there.

2. Why is it that I'm so much more shameless when it comes to Merlin/Arthur pr0n? It's not that the fandom's kinkier than HP. Is there even a kinkier fandom than HP?
Not to mention completely shameless about Bradley/Colin too. Huh.

3. I think I've pinpointed why I'm uninterested with Merlin RP games. Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, Gwen...they're all main characters. In HP, I can RP as obscure characters (Padma, Terry, Al, Scorpius), only-exist-in-notes characters (Su Li), my own OFC (Jade Malfoy)...even Draco's not a main character in canon except for HBP.

With Merlin, I can't help but be more judgmental and going "OoC! OoC!" when an RP-er's interpretation of the character significantly differs from mine.

ETA 10:43 p.m.: * Speaking of RP-ing, May 15th is Blog Like It Isn't You Day.
...I can blog as a random magic user sentenced to death in Camelot? =P

Smut Love for every holiday: A regular holiday-a-thon community

The stories posted at holidaysmut are mostly original slash, but fanfic, femmeslash and het are also welcome. Using HP fandom's smut-o-meter, a lot of the stories I've seen are in the PG-13 range. (If I'm looking at the tamer stories, by all means, someone link me to the NSFW ones =P)

To quote the mod:
[A]ny rating is welcome, too. Despite the comm name, we definitely value romance over smut, so it doesn't have to be smut. Smut is, of course, welcome.^_^

Also, as long or short as you want, poetry or prose or art, all welcome.

And most importantly for me (and I suspect for many of you procrastinating writers out there), the challenges never expire. All the challenges can be found on this tag.

Some challenges that I'm toying brainstorming and/or writing for: Ten for now )

2. [identity crisis] On Race, or Privilege, Or Just Being Human
Rights, I guess, equals entitlement, equals a demand for privilege. It's hard for me to think of a right to be free when I've grown up in a family and a society where my family members - and country members - have sacrificed everything they are (in "Western terms") for their family. Their time, all their income, every inch of their soul and being, in family. Their children are their assets, their stability is their bedrock. Whatever right one has to be something less than practical, to leave the family home, that right gets overwhelmed by other desires. Same as freedom. The desire to see parents happy, or the wish for a smooth life, even in exchange for doing what one loves.

4. Mmm, Catholics, you deviant old thing, you
Legend says that Bacchus appeared to the dying Sergius as an angel, telling him to be brave because they would soon be reunited in heaven.

While the pairing of saints, particularly in the early Christian church, was not unusual, the association of these two men was regarded as particularly intimate. Severus, the Patriarch of Antioch (AD 512 - 518) explained that, "we should not separate in speech they [Sergius and Bacchus] who were joined in life". This is not a case of simple "adelphopoiia." In the definitive 10th century account of their lives, St. Sergius is openly celebrated as the "sweet companion and lover" of St. Bacchus.
