morcalivan: (Merlin - Oh hell yes!)
Aha, you have reached the place where my mostly crappy fanfic live. Or at least where doors to their habitats exist. Abandon all hope ye who enter. 

Some warnings: I am not a serious writer and I do not write serious stories. If you are looking for clever things and socially commentary, you are in the wrong spot. If you are looking for ridiculous fluff/crack of the mostly slash variety with a helping of porn, then we're in business. I am not a prolific writer, so this will always be sparse. Also, I really like movie plot AUs. 


The Magicians
 
Quentin’s sister is getting married and he dreads going. Not only is he far more single than his +1 RSVP had made him out to be, but Julia was marrying Alice. The person who had shattered Quentin’s heart two years prior.
 
Desperate and panicking, he turns to his maybe-sort-of friend Margo, who has the perfect solution: one Eliot Waugh, male escort.
Quentin/Eliot. E. 43 000 words. September 2020. 
Tropes: Fake Dating. Non Magic AU inspired by The Wedding Date, written for the Magicians Happy Ever After
 
 
 
The Witcher
 
As much as he hated to admit it, Jaskier was one of those who had peaked in high school. Back then he had been universally adored and had people left and right begging for his attention. The years since then? No so much any of that. When he received the invitation to his high school reunion, it could not have come at a worst time; not only could he barely book enough jobs to stay alive, but he was woefully single. What he did have was the old standby: lying through his teeth. All he needed was one hot distraction in the form of the one person he could never get to look at him twice: Geralt.
Geralt/Jaskier. E. 17 000 words. May 2020. 
Tropes: Fake Dating
 
Having lost a high stakes game of Gwent against Yennefer, Geralt rides out on a deceptively simple mission: collect a rare ingredient to replenish her spell supplies. Special flowers that only bloom a single day a year, on midsummer's morning. Said to be guarded by a creature that he was to best without killing.
 
Geralt has read about these flowers. Knows that they need to be picked carefully so no part of them touches the skin, and slowly so none of the pollen gets released into the air. Jaskier, on the other hand, knows very little, and listens even less.
Geralt/Jaskier. E. 5 000 words. June 2020. 
Tropes: Magic Made Them Do IT / Sex Pollen. Mostly PWP with feels
 
 
 
Merlin
 
Arthur has always known exactly who he was, what was expected of him and the privileges to be gained from it. What he couldn't figure out was where an off-center, too skinny best friend and a crush who seemed to notice everyone but him, fit in. Includes: HighSchool!AU. Jealous/pining!Arthur. Slightly criminal!Merlin. Rugby matches. D&D games. Lots of cluelessness and denial. One sided Merlin/Gwaine and Arthur/Gwen.
Arthur/Merlin. NC 17. 35 000 words. August 2011.
Tropes: Non Magic High School AU
 
Camelot era/season 1 AU in which Merlin is raised by Nimueh and sent to Camelot to kill the prince. Merlin, unfortunately, is very bad at sticking to the plan.
Arthur/Merlin. NC 17. 30 370 words. September 2010.
Tropes: Canon Era AU
 
In order to win back the affections of an ex, Arthur has gotten himself caught up in a bet to transform the socially awkward into the socially acceptable. Features evil!Sophia, clueless!Merlin, hippy!Hunith and bit-of-a-tart!Will 
Arthur/Merlin. R. 22 286 words. May 2010.
Tropes: Non Magic High School AU inspired by She's All That
 
After a recent breakup, Merlin reluctantly moves back into his childhood home where he is besieged by someone he thought he had left behind a long time ago: an annoying and destructive imaginary friend. 
Arthur/Merlin. R. 11 373 words. September 2009.
Tropes: Modern Magic AU based inspired by Drop Dead Fred
 
It’s not about what they want, it’s about what they need. 
Arthur/Merlin. R. 17 145 words. September 2009.
Tropes: Modern Magic AU based inspired by The Covenant
 
A promotion and a swanky new title, one might even think Merlin’s luck had changed. That is, if you didn’t look too closely to the fine print on Uther’s offer. There is companionship and then there is companionship.
Arthur/Merlin. NC 17. 36 523. August 2009.
Tropes: Canon Era AU inspired by a kinkmeme prompt
 
 
(and then there are some others that are so shitty, I am not even going to publicly acknowledge them)

morcalivan: (QAF - Brian Woe)
I created a Dreamwidth account for [community profile] getyourwordsout (pledging to write 150k this year), and I didn't actually mean to use it much, but I am now obsessed with the layout and finding the right icons. I haven't even been on one of these platforms since the LiveJournal debacle when all my friends jumped ship. And of course the specific icons I have in mind, I can't find anywhere.

So I am left wondering if it would be worth the effort to fire up photoshop and make my own. When I very clearly should be working / writing / studying.

And after spending so much time putting my shit together, I am going to have to use this account to feel like I didn't waste my time. Slippery slope, my friend.


Edit: Anyone got any good resources for layout or mood themes? (I ask into the void, for I have no friends on here yet)

morcalivan: (Merlin - Pretty Arhur is Pretty)
This month I have been really missing being part of a fandom. The community of it all, knowing that even if you are writing alone, there are others willing to discuss ideas because they love the same fandom.

I have also started reading fanfic again. For the first time in like 5-8 years. Also known as the dark times after Merlin broke my heart.
