#i forgot my merlin and leverage tags...

Identity Porn for the Never Have I Ever ask game, please?

HIII thank you so much <333

IN FACT I HAVE WRITTEN IDENTITY PORN! i think How Arthur Got His Groove Back 100% qualifies for this trope. merlin himself essentially has all the same beats that a classic comic book superhero does - secret powers that would endanger him and those around him if discovered, secret identity (emrys) that he wants to tell people about and can't which ruins his love life (in the fic, arthur is his semi-love interest; it's preslash, but it centers around their relationship), the object of his affections talking about his secret identity right in front of him (they have MULTIPLE conversations about emyrs even though merlin IS EMRYS), tragic backstory/dead parents that has something to do with his powers (rip balinor), exhausted from leading a double life, a big secret identity reveal, even an old guy mentor! actually if you count the dragon merlin has two old guy mentors, it's just that they both suck so fucking bad. and lots of that isn't even really specific to my fic. favorite identity porn excerpt:

euhehehe i love to have fun and be evil. i think this is probably objectively the best-written thing on my ao3, aside from of course @cambionverse

i'm not sure how i'd go about writing another - don't really like AUs, so unless that sort of thing is baked into canon the way it is in merlin i don't think i no wait stop the presses i just had an idea. well it's not my idea specifically i've seen it tossed around a lot on tumblr but whatever. essentially common trope/fanon that eliot leverage is still killing people in season 1 of leverage before he decides being good guys is serious business. this is the oldest trope in the world but eliot getting assigned to keep an eye on nate's team bc moreau feels threatened by them (i actually have a hard time buying he would do this, even though it's a very popular fanon, but just roll with it) and he's like getting closer to them but he always has to sabotage them on jobs where their success would hurt moreau in some way (I KNOW literally nothing they do would effect moreau but we're gonna pretend) but they KEEP SUCCEEDING ANYWAY. and eliot is like what the hell. is being good bad guys legit? hey (he's asking moreau this while they're fucking or something) is it legit to be good bad guys? have i made real friends while pretending to make fake friends? and moreau is like if you be real friends with them i will have chapman cut their fucking brake lines. and eliot is like got it and he continues to go to these meetings and wonder aloud who keep sabotaging these random ass cases and then nate figures out the cases are all connected with moreau and eliot is like Oops and then he and hardison do the pool thing and it all comes out and he decides to switch sides because he's in love w hardison and parker and he's tired of doing evil shit for moreau. so like canon essentially except eliot's conscience doesn't start working until season 3 and they spend the first two and a half seasons not knowing the Ultimate bad guy they are tracking has been making them fancy ass dinners and being their bodyguard and being their little pet hitman. and hes just kinda batting his eyelashes like who me? and then going home to stare at his blank apartment walls in all-consuming existential dread. yeah.

[ASK MEME]

Watch the boyfriend (Reader x Elijah Mikaelson)

Requested by: anon Forever tag:@missmelodramatic  , @merlin-dahlia, @alex--awesome--22 , @elllie-does-the-posts, @floatlosers   , @merlieve , @queen-of-books  , @glimmering-darling-dolly   ,@denkisclown  , @wildieflower   ,@meyocoko  , @justanothercoco, @subjecta13-thefangirl, @m-rae23, @harleyquinnswifeyfrfr, @swampthing07  , @melsunshine   @panhoeofmanyfandoms  , @venomsvl, @the-uncoordinated-house-cat,@rosecentury,   @imagines-by-her ,  @evilcr0ne , @vviolynn, @niktwazny303   ,@avada-kedavra-bitch-187

Your foot bopped along with the beat. Earplugs in you sat sideways in one of the Victorian chairs. Legs over railing, scrolling on your phone. The Mikaelsons were out, meaning you had the house for yourself. You took the opportunity to do absolutely nothing and have some me time. Moving around the house with earplugs so that the music swallowed you whole. Now you were just sitting down, waiting for the Mikaelsons to come home. Your eye caught a glance of the first Mikaelson entering.

It was Kol. He nodded at you as you gave him a welcoming nod back. Freya entered next with Rebekah, chattering about something. Elijah and Klaus were the last Mikaelsons to enter. Elijah smiled upon seeing you. With vampire speed he rushed over to you.

Coming to hover over you, leaving a caring kiss on your forehead. You looked up at him, tapping at your lips. Elijah chuckling before kissing your lips upside down. You heard Klaus groan letting himself fall down in the sofa. You unplugged your earplugs, swinging your legs over the railing to the front.

“How was your day sweetheart?” – Elijah asked coming to sit on the railing with you. – “Enough about me, how was your day? Did it go well?” – you answered. Elijah took your hand, fiddling a bit with your fingers. Looking at him, you noticed some forgotten blood on his jaw.

Making your finger wet, you wiped it clean. – “You missed a spot dear.” – you told him. Elijah cupped your cheek. – “I’ll have you to clean me.” – he whispered to you. Klaus rolling with his eyes. – “Please lead this up to the bedroom.” – he scolded. Elijah and you both laughed. Klaus then got up, taking his brother by the arm.

“Come we have much to discuss.” – he said. You blew Elijah a kiss as he left with his brother. Putting in your earplugs again, you forgot what you were even mindlessly scrolling through. Video after video you were watching with little interest.

Swiping your finger up a few more times, the video’s flashed by. Till one video made you stop and watch. A girl’s voice speaking as you saw the camera getting pointed at a boy. “Hey guys can you watch my boyfriend for me.” – she said taking her leave. Her phone turned towards her boyfriend as he looked confused at the camera.

It made you laugh at how silly his expression was. – “What are you laughing about?” – Rebekah asked joining you in the open living room. You took out your earplugs, showing her the video. At first she furrowed her brows till she started laughing. She handed you back your phone. – “Do you think I should do it with Elijah?” – you questioned. Rebekah quirking her eyebrow up.

“He’d have no clue.” – she answered. – “Right!” – you called out. – “That would make it so funny!” – you told her. – “If you do make the video, send it to me.” – Rebekah suggested. – “So you can have leverage over him?” – you teased with a laugh. – “Then you should make one about Niklaus too.” – she joked. Rebekah’s phone rang as she got up, answering it. Speaking with her gave you stuff to think about. Getting more eager to do it with Elijah. You only had to wait for Elijah to finish his meeting with Klaus.

Waiting for Elijah felt like eternity so you decided to help out Freya in the meantime. Help her label some new bottles with ingredients for her spells and potions. The urge of filming the video growing by the minute. Freya noticed you were eager for something, but didn’t comment about it. Hearing the door open, it made you tense your muscles. From Freya’s witchy room, you saw a glimpse of Klaus leaving.

You quickly set the last bottles down. – “Sorry gotta run Freya!” – you called out, taking your leave. – “Thanks for the help Y/n!” – Freya shouted after you. You ran into the room where Elijah was. He looked surprised at you for a moment. – “Y/n, sweetheart.” – he called out. You walked up to him, placing your hands on his hips, getting on the tips of your toes for a kiss. Elijah happily kissed you back. 

“Someone missed me.” – Elijah said with a smile. – “Didn’t you miss me?” – you asked curious, already knowing the answer. – “Immensely.”  - Elijah responded cupping your cheek. His comment made you scrunch your nose with a teasing smile. Elijah booped your nose making you flutter your face back. – “How about a drink?” – You suggested, tilting your head a bit. – “I can’t say no to you spoiling me.” – Elijah replied.

You went over to the bar, taking two glasses. Leaning over the counter, you grabbed for the bottle. – “Need a hand sweetheart?” – Elijah asked. – “No!” – you called out loud. He moved his hands up in defence, not arguing with you there. He sat down as you returned with his glass. You then went over to grab your glass from the counter. Pulling out your phone. You pretended to hold it against your ear as if you had a call.

Elijah furrowed his brows, wondering who you were calling. You then moved your phone down, pressing the record button. Returning to Elijah, you made sure it was recording from the front. Setting your glass down on a good position. – “Hey guys can you watch my boyfriend.” – you said, setting the phone against the glass for support.

Elijah’s gaze went from you, down to your phone. Staring confused right at the camera as you took a run for it. Elijah turned around. – “Y/n?” – he called out. He then looked back at the camera, feeling like someone was watching him. He stared awkwardly at it, feeling awkward to even sip his drink. Nervously, he moved his hand up to greet whoever was watching him.

His gaze glided awkwardly away from the camera, trying to see if you were returning. When you weren’t returning, he sighed deep. Tapping his fingers patiently together it felt awkward for him. Elijah suddenly moved closer to the camera. His face getting full on the camera. – “I don’t need watching.” – he said to your phone. You had returned seeing him do that. It made you laugh loud, making him turn his head in an instant. – “Y/n!” – he shouted.

Continuing to laugh, you ran over to your phone to collect it. Your face came on the camera as Elijah looked over your shoulder in the camera as well. – “Has he behaved?” – you asked teasingly at the camera. Elijah looked in shock at you. – “I have!” – he called out, making you laugh loud, stopping the video.

Fanfic tag game

Tagged by @aini-nufire, @talvenhenki, @enigma-the-mysterious and @sternenblumen. Normally I don’t do tag games, but I figured I couldn’t let all of you down, and besides, why not shamelessly promo tons of my fics? XD

how many works do you have on AO3?

244! But a lot of them are very short

what’s your total AO3 word count?

347,424

how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

32 if I don’t condense the fandoms down, but still 21 if I do…. 

Merlin (188), Star Wars (17), Supernatural (9), Detroit: Become Human (7), The Musketeers (6), Spider-Man (6), Daredevil (6), general MCU (4), Big Hero 6 (4), Game of Thrones (3), Inception (2), Call the Midwife (2), Pacific Rim (2), Salvation (1), Time Scout Series (1), The Bean Trees (1), Leverage Redemption (1), Star Trek Picard (1), Earthsea (1), Mission Impossible (1), and Bartimeaus (1)

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Gyroscope Offline (Detroit: Become Human)

Help from a Devil (Spider-Man and Daredevil)

Problems Aside (Game of Thrones)

No Other Pilot (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)

To Be Scared of the Ones You Love (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)

All of these were published right after new content for the fandom was put out, when hits and fics were booming

do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try to, but it’s been getting kind of overwhelming lately...

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

No. 15 Possession from my Supernatural/Merlin fusion for 2020 Whumptober. It’s one of only 3 fics I’ve written with permanent major character death, all of which were in the same series, and it’s sad af.

do you write crossovers? if so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

Yes! I do more fusions than crossovers, but sometimes both sets of characters show up. I have actually two different Supernatural/Merlin crossover/fusion series, a Inception/Great British Bake Off fic, a Merlin/GBBO fic, and my favorite and probably the wildest one, my series Call the Merlin, where Merlin, Gwen, Gaius, and all the knights are reborn in the 1950s to be midwives in London’s East End.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

I’ve gotten two or three comments of transphobic bullshit on the previously mentioned Call the Merlin series because of the gender-bending

do you write smut? if so what kind?

Yes, but it’s mostly all published anonymously

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

have you ever had a fic translated?

No, although I semi-frequently get comments written in other languages, so I think people might be translating my fics themselves to read in other languages and then commenting in their native tongue

have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not yet, but I’d like to! (if anyone wants to add a character to a neurodivergent!knights fic, hit me up, since neednoggle and I were planning on combining their adhd!gwaine and my tourettic!lancelot headcanons at some point)

what’s your all time favorite ship?

I don’t think I really have a favorite, but I am very partial to anything with Lancelot or Freya being loved and supported

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Whoooo I’ve got several. Pacific Rim Uprooted is probably the least likely to ever be finished, given that I had a whole plan for rewriting Uprising that I think I forgot right after publishing the first and only chapter (which was only 300 words)

what are your writing strengths?

Whump, platonic cuddling

what are your writing weaknesses?

I feel like a lot of my writing feels very thin, with a lot of action and not much description or fleshing out of the characters or setting

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I like it, especially for sprinkling in little affectionate phrases and the like. I’m a huge sucker for Aramis especially calling the others amor or hermano, it makes my heart so brrr whenever I read it

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

Merlin, actually! I wrote a whump fic before I knew what whump or fanfiction was about Gwaine and Lancelot meeting while beating up bandits!

what’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I have so many! Right now it’s probably The Weaver and the Woodworker, my recent Freya/Will fic, but it’s so hard to choose! I also really love all of my OC fics from various fandoms, like Android Veteran Affairs from DBH, Promise of Safety from Time Scout, and The Helping Hands Initiative series that combines aspects of Iron Man and Big Hero Six. I love playing with unexplored aspects of these worlds with my own characters, although it always is a little sad that these fics never get much engagement
