What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?

Title: When I See You Trip the Light Fantastic
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Summary: In which all the magic is good, and Arthur tries not to think about it, among other things.


( Arthur stared at the girl, more than a little helplessly )

Title: We Know All About Mice and Men and Their Plans
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Summary: Things were getting stagnant in Camelot. The plot was not progressing, and Merlin was bored.
A/N: A few lines shamelessly stolen from The Princess Bride, I'm sure you'll be able to tell which ones. Just a little fluff for all of us on this fine day. Happy Inauguration Day, everyone!

it is a good day.

Okay, so, this idea came to me one day, and I sat down and wrote this pretty much in one sitting. To be honest, I'm still not completely satisfied with it, but I think this is the best it's going to get. I'm honestly not a huge fan of Morgana, at least in the show, but for some reason I felt compelled to write something from her POV.

In this, I've combined Morgana and Morgause, as well as the idea of the invisible castle, which I got from the musical Camelot, although I'm not sure where it originated. I freely admit that I know little about the Arthurian legends, so please forgive any major problems, although since there's so many versions as it is, I'm sure it won't matter much if I've changed things around.


Title: That Which We Cannot Comprehend (Morgana’s Story)
Ratings: R
Warnings/Spoilers: a touch of non-con (thus the R rating), vague spoilers through the first season, I guess
Summary: How Morgana views the events that unfold around her, and her justification for her own actions.

( That Which We Cannot Comprehend )

This is a little different, although still with the somberness. I'm not sure what's that all about.

( Mysterious Duo Rumored to be King Arthur and the Wizard Merlin Aid Victims )

My first Merlin/Arthur fic. This is almost angsty? I'm not sure how that happened because I usually get annoyed and sarcastic halfway through writing anything that remotely smacks of angstyness, but whatevs. Maybe it's not angsty, just intense.

Anyway, there is a high probability that I got some integral fact wrong because when I watch the eps, I just spend the whole time laughing to myself at how awesomely gay it all is and I can't pay attention to detail.

( Compromise )

This is the product of procrastination, caffeine, and a sudden onslaught of hatred towards the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries (this would be because the paper I was procrastinating on was about those centuries).

Also, the painting in question is The Solitary Tree by Caspar David Friedrich.

( Adventures in Solitude )

Just a little sum'in-sum'in I wrote this summer. Finally got around to editing it and decided to let it spread its wings and fly away and other such metaphors.

( Artist: As Obscure As Possible, Please )

This one was inspired by John's habit of wearing black t-shirts and Ben Fold's Song For The Dumped, both of which I really like. Unfortunately, I could never figure out how to get them back together at the end, and that is simply a must for me! In retrospect, I should have gone from a different angle, like if John- okay, I'm going to stop there and maybe that version will get written. Without further ado, here's ( And Don't Forget )

Title: How To Run To; A Survival Guide By Prince Meredith (Edited By John Sheppard)
Author: theravenwrites
Pairing: mcshep
Rating: pg-13
Warnings: some swearing
Disclaimer: Neither SGA or Abhorsen is mine, very unfortunately. If there was, there would be a lot more male nudity.
Summary: Prince Meredith's got a plan. It just doesn't involve dragging an unwilling AWOL pilot around. Or being killed by the Dead, either. Unfortunately, these things seem to be happening anyway.
A/N: Sorry if I messed up some of the Abhorsen terminology; I didn’t have a book to fact-check with. Hope you enjoy!

( How To Run To, A Survival Guide By Prince Meredith (Edited by John Sheppard) )

This fic turned out a lot longer than I was planning on it being, but it doesna matter. I'm pretty pleased with it. ^_^

Miguel and Tulio = Rosencrantz and Guildenstern = LOVE

That is all.

We're doing genes in Bio, and I keep thinking 'ATA gene, bwahahaha.' It's really disruptive to my in-class naps. Oh well, such is life. Or mine, in any case.

I've also learned a valuable lesson: even though it's very convenient, do NOT write crack on your graphing calculator. It just can't handle the stress and explode. Or your finger will slip and erase it all. And then, upon typing up a quick outline of events such as you remember them, you will then accidentally erase that too. And it certainly doesn't help that my math teacher is a coffee addict who says things like, 'Sometimes you have to say your thoughts out loud so I can tell you how wrong they are,' which just makes me crack up. It's not conducive to my vow not to write any more crack in math class on my calculator. I try to write in my notebook, but it's just not as easy.

So, this is an introductionary post. This journal is going to be used for fannish stuff, like squeeing and novice attempts at fic. I read a LOT and I'm interested in a ton of fandoms, but I never felt comfortable writing about them, until I realized that Livejournal should be the only place where I could always feel comfortable writing about them, so I made this journal.

My regular journal, ravensorea is just going to be used as usual, with that annoying thing called life.

I guess there's not much more I can say to introduce myself, which makes me feel kind of lame, but oh well.
