Title: Even as a teddy bear, Arthur was a prat
Author: dk323
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Morgana, Gwen
Spoilers: None – Modern! AU
Disclaimer: The show Merlin is property of the BBC. No money being made.
Summary: [Modern! AU] The one where Merlin and Arthur are turned into teddy bears. Arthur gets jealous and Merlin is the sweetest teddy bear ever – at least Morgana and Gwen think so.
Author’s Note: After reading nyxelestia’s “Snuggle” fic, I got the idea to write a fic where Merlin and Arthur are both teddy bears. The cuteness factor made the idea irresistible. So here it is. :) This is complete crack, of course. ;)

“Get back here, Merlin!” Arthur demanded.

“No!” Merlin said as he ran across the hardwood floor as fast as his short, furry legs allowed him.

Title: Abscido
Author: kellifer_fic
Rating: PG
Fandom: SGA (John/Rodney est.rel)
Warnings: None
Wordcount 9k
Notes: Written for Sweet Charity for the most patient person in existence.

Sateda is a nation standing against the Wraith. Once mighty, they now rely on raids to other worlds to fill their military. On Ra-Yeda, circumstance leads to the capture of two men who may be their downfall.

Abscido : to cut off, to separate, take away.

I’m thinking those two are going to be more trouble than they’re worth

Ok, I still have not watched Pandora yet. I have a horrible, horrible fish-out-of-water squick, so I bailed five minutes into it. Eventually I know I will woman up and just made myself push through my discomfort (especially because people I trust really liked the ep), but it may not be until right before the new eps start. So much for my unbroken streak of SV reviews since season 5.

I actually haven't really been watching much live TV, other than about a billion Thanksgiving-themed shows on the Food Network, but I have to make two comments on tonight's "The Good Wife," which totally rocked: ( Read more... )

In un-live television--or I supposed you could call it undead television, ha ha ha, I have finally watched the bazillion episodes of Vampire Diaries I'd been taping but sure I would never watch. Curses on you, friendslist! I was all set to abandon this show, but you all insisted it actually becomes good, and you just had to be right, didn't you. In fact, it was good enough that I stayed up way past my bedtime catching up--good enough that I may just give up watching FlashForward altogether and watch VD live, because frankly I'm finding VD a hell of a lot more compelling than FF.

And in other media adventures, I saw not one but two very hilarious comedies this weekend. (Not billed by their creators as comedies, but I call them as I see them).

( First was 2012 )

( Then there was that sparkly vampire movie. Serious lovers of Twilight should probably skip my comments )

What? I move about as fast as molasses in the winter. Also, this is proof that I haven't just been bookmarking things as 'admin:Unread'.

.: Star Trek :.

5 Times Someone's Misspent Youth Paid Off | janice_lester [Gen, PG-13, ~3.000 words]
I chipperly subscribe to the idea that the entire senior staff of the Enterprise are 'reformed' juvenile delinquents - too many brains not to use them and all that. These a 5 different back stories that are completely in character and, as a bonus, entirely hilarious!

(Let me just take this opportunity to rec pretty much everything janice_lester has written that I've read so far - it's either hilarious crack or completely in character, or both at the same time. Ironically coming from someone who wasn't sold on the idea of 5 things fics when they first started up, that's a predominant format for her, and she does a fantastic job of them. ♥)

The Encounter | cole_chan [Gen, PG, 2.795 words]
A very fun crossover wherein the Doctor makes an appearance aboard the bridge of the Enterprise. Of course Jim wants to take the TARDIS for a spin.

In Tones So Soft and Low | cjs_own [Kirk/Spock, PG-13, 1.384 words]
This is "four times Jim met Spock's human family members and the one time Spock met the non-human in Jim's" - yeah, there's a catch there, and the whole thing is excellent.

Phenomena (doo DOO doo-doo-doo) | Anon [Gen, PG, 355 words]
As someone who was raised on Muppet snark (rather than that pansy-assed, feel good Sesame Street - and OMG I'M KIDDING, please fore go the hate mail), this just warms me right up. One could interpret a lot about my sanity from that statement and the associated link, but whatever.

Repeat Offender | seperis [Kirk/Spock, NC-17, 6.211 words]
I'm guessing there's at least one person on the planet that hasn't noticed seperis has written a new STXI fic yet, and just in case that person is on my flist, here you go. As the summary says, "after a bar, in Iowa". It has a slow reveal with an excellent (canon compliant) spin on Spock's history.


.: Supernatural :.

The Book of Enoch | gigglingkat [Gen, PG-13]
Actually a graphic resembling a fandom_wank post - and, really, the whole bible should be written this way. It'd make an excellent counter point to the KJV.

In a related order of news, We found our dream house. Now, if anyone out there can do us the favor of buying it now, so you can sell it back to us when we're ready to move, I'd appreciate. Thanks! :P

AN: A series of drabbles centring on Arthur and Merlin's relationship, based on Arthur's actions and Merlin's Reactions.

Title: Interlude II - Gwen's POV
Warning/Spoilers: None
Word Count: 100 each
Rating: PG
Summary: Arthur is only willing to sacrifice so much for the sake of his kingdom.

Interlude: Gwen interprets it as "I love Merlin."

Other Parts: Master Post



AN: I'm sorry about the deletions and reposts. I mistagged, and the wrong tags wouldn't go away.

So, you want to participate in a holiday challenge...but they're all closed now! Or they're too much pressure because, omg, reciprocal fic, what if someone wants a pairing of Clark/Fire? (Not that that ever happened to me, mind you.)

Or...maybe you just think undermistletoe is awesome.

Well, you just have good taste then. We're going to do a two-week schedule of AWESOME posting this year, so get ready for hilarity and fun.

The basic rules:

1) Fic, vids and art are welcome for this challenge.
2) Any fandom goes. (RPS is welcome.)
3) Your story will be completed. As is. No "to be continued!" sentiments allowed. Your story also will be unlocked.
4) Your story will be minimally 1,000 words.
5) You may only sign up for ONE day. I'm interested in quality, not quantity. *g*
6) ...post on your date. Self-explanatory, y/y? Multiple people can sign up for each date; the prompts are loose enough that it'd be pretty impossible for y'all to create things that overlap too much. :D

Normally, I assign prompts. This year though, we're going to try something totally new. You sign-up below for whatever date you want and...it's automatically yours, in the hopes that getting your first-choice prompt gets you all excited to really go for it.

I know, it's crazy! But if you can't pick and want me to pick FOR YOU, I am happy to do so. List three dates and I will take the choice out of your hands and pick your prompt this weekend. *g*

SIGN UP IN THIS POST BY TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST.

Paste this into a comment:

Name: (Ex: svmadelyn!)
Fandom you think you'll be participating with:
Date you've selected: (please paste the whole prompt so I can be sure your date is not a typo)

The Posting Schedule:

We're starting out with Harlequin Week! Because that is how good things should start. I've collected some recently published Harlequin novel titles (they're real! that makes them even better!). You just write a story/make a vid/create art based on one of the titles on the date you will be posting.

Replace countries, names, holidays and genders as needed in these titles - they're just meant to inspire greatness. And also, someone better write MPregnesia, 'cause really.

Monday Dec. 14 - Texas Wedding for Their Baby's Sake OR Pregnesia OR Assignment: Baby OR Captive in the Millionaire's Castle

Dec. 15 - From Waif to Gentleman's Wife OR Captive of the Desert King OR His Princess in the Making OR Rebellious Rake, Innocent Governess

Dec. 16 - The Rake's Wicked Proposal OR Runaway Lady, Conquering Lord OR The Rebel Surgeon's Proposal OR Bodyguard Under the Mistletoe

Dec. 17 - How to Tame a Lady OR Virgin with Butterflies OR Bachelor CEO OR Invitation to the Boss's Ball

Dec. 18 - His Runaway Maiden OR A Bride for His Majesty's Pleasure OR Secluded with the Cowboy OR Bedded and Wedded for Revenge

Dec. 19 - Pleasured by the English Spy OR Hot-Shot Tycoon, Indecent Proposal OR The Rake's Intimate Encounter OR Getting Red-Hot with the Rogue OR The Innocent's Dark Seduction

( Dates behind the cut, including Changing Channels, Austentacious Days and Mystery Weekend! )
