Merle's Birthday Fic 2025
An Assertion of Identity
Summary: Feline ferocity manifested itself in different ways. Sharp claws and thundering roars were all well and good, frightening and dangerous when called for, but a simple but forceful declaration could be just as effective.

#Escaflowne#Vision of Escaflowne#tenkuu no escaflowne#Merle#An Assertion of Identity#oh look I came out of hibernation#just a quick thing#and I resisted the temptation to make this a shippy thing#but kept it Merle-centric#I just mentioned Me and the Sky in the note#but while writing I also ended up playing My Days in the background#which is always a rush#though I do hope to use that song for something bigger#but anyway#lately I've been revisiting my old Esca fics and been missing writing#and also wondering how the hell I managed to write so much years ago#I do not think I can ever reach that level of activity again#something has changed#anyway I just wanted to dip my toes in writing again even as an exercise in getting to know the characters a bit better

An Effective Silencer
Summary: They would have a pretty good chance of making it if Ubel only stopped talking. There was no time for any defensive spells or elaborate schemes. Drastic measures were called for. Ubel had leaned towards her companion to tease him further but before she could utter a word, Land had moved forward and kissed her.
