ANOTHER AU!? I know what you're saying... Gwen, you're nuts. But not only are you absolutely right, I think this one might be my most ambitious one yet. As a young nerd, there were two groups. The Marvel fans and the DC fans. And while the rivalry certainly has calmed down a bit, I was almost always torn. So, earlier in the week, I decided to do the one thing that every fanfic writer has tried at least once.

A Marvel/DC crossover.

But unlike the typical realm merger, to put it in Mortal Kombat terms, this is a universe where both properties coexist. For example, picture a group of people walking to a Big Belly Burger while listening to Just the Facts with J. Jonah Jameson. That's just a fraction. I have an ENTIRE starting cast as well.

First Line Tag Game! Rules: List the first lines of the last ten stories you published (or works in progress if you’re feeling brave lol). Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any!

okay imma thank you first (i love this game omg) and say that i WANTED to be ambitious and do both published fics and wips, but i started on wips first and this is long af. so here we are. over half are hoa fics but i threw in some random oneshots for other fandoms.

[10 WORKS IN PROGRESS]

#1 the hard part (hoa; 03. in neddie au series)

Two days. Two days after Amber gave the breakup news, two days of incredibly uncomfortable Sibuna meetings, two days of Eddie blatantly lying to himself that ending their whole tryst wasn't a big deal. Two days of all of that, and then Nina sent him to the clearing in the woods for a solo mission but showed up five minutes after he did.

Two days, and she told him that waiting for things to cool down wasn't cutting it for her. He took in her words slowly, but he took them in, and he took in the meeting place, and then he took her in.

#2 golden opportunity (hoa; jeroy college au)

It's the day after sophomore finals week ends and Joy honestly has to wonder how the fuck Mick convinced everyone to go out drinking in celebration. Drinking itself is fine; drinking with Mick at the helm is a lot like trying to swim upstream without a paddle. No good could possibly come from it.

#3 i summoned you (hoa; nina&eddie time loop s2 finale au)

Nina doesn't remember events normally when Senkhara's using her.

The mask is like a film over her eyes, everything distorted just enough that she doesn't feel like herself. She knows what she's doing when she pushes the mask into her skin, but the moments after shift into slow motion, a nightmare she can't stop.

#4 the hookup (hoa; jamber college au)

Try as he might, Jerome Clarke could not, with whatever remnants of a conscience he had left, claim he didn't know who she was.

#5 definition of an extended play (btr; kucy college soulmate au)

The first time he met Lucy Stone, he figured some part of his soul just knew, even without the mark.

His head's the one that has some catching up to do.

#6 exile (good witch; nace post-s5 finale)

Smiling up at her onstage giving her graduation speech is the very least he can do. He can smile, and clap, and even cheer like all the cheesy coming-of-age movies she'd made him watch over the years.

What he can't do is gather her up in his arms afterward. He can't press a kiss to her temple, congratulating her with words but also with every single love language there is. He can't hold her hand as they all go out to eat before heading back to Grey House for their joint grad party. He can't look her in the eyes and revel in the fact that she knows everything he's feeling, and that she feels it too.

He can't do any of that, so he smiles and hopes it's enough to tide him over.

It isn't.

#7 new place, same feeling (supah ninajs; amanda/flint post-s2)

Spending the summer away from Empire City and the dojo was kind of fucking with her.

#8 road trip to your heart (spooksville; adally +watch road trip)

It starts like this:

road trip. u me and watch.

be seen in public w you? oh hell nah

i'm serious

so am i ;)

adam.

senior year.

senior prom.

you need an opportunity to step up your game before you ask me to it, and i'm more than happy to give you that chance.

#9 it's a wedding, not the end of the world (hoa; after anubis series, jeroy wedding)

kindly join us for

the wedding of

JEROME CLARKE & JOY MERCER

5:00pm | July 31st | Calderstone Park: Ornamental Garden

~lil skip ahead of a joy, patricia, willow, & kt group chat~

[willow] you don't have to worry about a thing, joy!

this'll be the best wedding ever!

[kt] agreed! :)

[patricia] sit back and relax, we've got this

five months later...

"Holy shit, we don't got this."

Alfie kept his face smushed on the outside of the leaning cake box and breathed out harshly. "A little HELP??"

#10 in more ways than one (hoa; neddie s2 soulmate au)

Nina spent the morning after Senkhara marked Amber feeling braindead and searching for long socks.

She felt helpless. She couldn't help getting marked herself; she barely cared about that anymore. Besides Victor seeing it and the occasional burn, it wasn't too bad. Sometimes she could even pretend this was just another fun mystery like the beginning of the previous year. But then Fabian lied to her, he got a mark himself, and she realized that, yet again, she couldn't protect anyone. She couldn't even protect herself against Rufus in their final showdown--Jerome had thrown the flies.

so the trend i'm seeing here is i like starting w a (hopefully) intriguing hook, usually just one line. i try to make it at least a little ominous yet simultaneously all-encompassing of what the fic's about. but i already kinda knew that, so lemme know if you see any other trends? and if you wanna do this game, i tag you! :)

Duchess Meghan is Joined by Serena Williams to Watch the Princes Play Polo!

New Post has been published on http://harryandmeghan.xyz/duchess-meghan-is-joined-by-serena-williams-to-watch-the-princes-play-polo/

Duchess Meghan is Joined by Serena Williams to Watch the Princes Play Polo!

I do love the royal summer season. From the regal fashions at Royal Ascot, to calendar staples such as Trooping the Colour, and of course polo appearances, it can always be relied upon to deliver a good portion of the best photos every year. The princes played in the Audi Polo Challenge today and, to the delight of royal watchers, Duchess Meghan was there.

It was a beautiful day for a summery outing.

The Duchess was joined by her close friend Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian. Meghan and Serena have been close for several years; the tennis superstar is in England ahead of her first match at Wimbledon on Monday. An afternoon of polo provided the perfect opportunity for the pair to catch up and enjoy stunning surroundings at Coworth Park. We mentioned the possibility we could see the Duchess at Wimbledon during the week to support Serena.

Below, Meghan chatting with Mark Dyer. Mark has been one of the most influential figures in Harry’s life and is often dubbed “a second father”. Captain Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer, worked as an equerry for Prince Charles in the ’90s. He regularly drove to Eton to take William out for lunch and advised Harry about Sandhurst. Mark founded the management company MDM Bars and Pubs in 2009 and runs two public houses, the Sand’s End and the Brown Cow, in south-west London, both frequented by Prince Harry. When Mark married Amanda Kline, a Texan heiress, in 2010, Harry was an usher.

Mark accompanied Meghan to the polo last year and his son Jasper was a pageboy at the royal wedding.

Meghan spent time with a little girl in a pink dress – it is thought she’s Mark Dyer’s daughter.

Meghan was all smiles at the event.

Harry, who returned to London last week following several days in Lesotho on behalf of his charity Sentebale, and William, who completed a historic tour in the middle east, donned their white breeches and took to the polo field on behalf of two charities very close to their hearts: WellChild and Tusk Trust.

Coworth Park is a luxury retreat set on 240 acres of picturesque Berkshire parkland. The estate features an eco-luxury spa with an indoor pool and three restaurants. The rooms have stunning views of the lime grove, meadows and polo fields. Harry spent the night before the royal wedding there with William.

William and Harry’s team were victorious.

The Duchess selected the Shoshanna Sleeveless Belted Gingham Eyelet Dress (with thanks to UFO No More). The gingham midi dress features an A-line silhouette, cut-in shoulders and a self-tie belt. The dress was a lovely choice for the polo; it’s been a while seen we’ve seen Meghan’s “off duty” style, and it was very nice to get another peek into her non-work wardrobe.

Meghan wore her Madewell x Baltimore Panama hat.

And wore her Sarah Flint Grear Sandals. The pair Meghan wore are an older style but the very similar updated Grear sandals are available for £275 (with thanks to What Meghan Wore).

It looked like a lovely afternoon was had by all! Source: http://madaboutmeghan.blogspot.com/2018/06/first-look-meghan-in-summery-dress-for.html

Every Baby Name We Could Possibly Think Of

Naming your baby is a big decision, and with endless options, it can also be a difficult one. Whether you're going the traditional route or want something more unique (if so, read this first!) it's helpful to have a little, or a lot, of inspiration. Ahead, you'll find nearly every baby name we could think of (close to 1,000!). These aren't just random names we found in a book or concocted ourselves - they're almost all monikers we've heard being used, or we actually know someone who goes by the name.
