Boys' Night Out (Merlin/Arthur flashfic, PG-13)
May. 13th, 2009 | 04:20 pm
mood:
=D
In which Arthur stole Merlin's food, watched his DVD, took him out to a boring party and manoeuvred him to bed (to sleep).

☆ The first version won third place at
armer_gayms' Bro Code challenge.
☆ 555 words. Or 731. It's all relative.
★ Borrowed the varying flashfic length from
b_hallward's Increments (Merlin/Arthur)--am not the genius that came up with it. The 5, 10, 20, ..., 100 words structure fits what I have in mind, didn't mean to steal ^^;;
( In which Arthur stole Merlin's food, watched his DVD, took him out to a boring party and manoeuvred him to bed (to sleep). )
<-- Merlin's pyjamas Arthur's Arsenal shirt. Please credit if taking, etc.
Rambling A/N of sorts:
There's a funny story about this fic. ( Read more... )

"Twenty Things about Albus Severus Potter" (PG-13)
Dec. 10th, 2007 | 02:50 pm
This is 23% 15% longer than Scorpius'. (Started out being 37% longer, then 23%). Also the voice and style changed. Can't help it, haha.
rea_saint said it was as if I was saying "This is *MY* Albus and this is who he is!" He might be right =P
But nahh, I still love Scorpius more.
Will be expanded into a fic later, starting from the boys' fifth year. (If anyone’s interested to co-write or write about the boys' earlier years, drop me a line!) Please point out any mistakes.

Afternoon Tea -- Back-story to Chapter two of IMR4MR
May. 15th, 2005 | 10:02 pm
mood: intoxicated
music: ...whether yesterday’s afternoon tea was too strong
July 20, 1993
Thankfully, ever since the alihotsy incident, I had always carried a self-replenishing water flask with me. I looked into my bag of personally blended tea. I estimated that it would only last me eight days. This blend of wormwood and nutmeg infusion had, on numerous occasions, prevented me from slipping aconite into the students’ pumpkin juice. Considering my present situation, I would very much like to have my afternoon tea for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I transfigured some loose stones into bread rolls. Biting into one, I grimaced. It tasted of sand. I had not misread my wand’s warped magical signature. Had a Gryffindor been in my place, he would have splinched himself in an attempt to Apparate. Sighing, I transfigured my overcoat into a threadbare sleeping bag and went to sleep on the sand.
