So I did one of those about two years ago and I decided why not do another one! Some fics from the old one will probably be repeated here, but who cares, itās my list, I get to make the rules :D
Thereās Something About UsĀ - T, Hartwin, Merlin/Roxy, Percilot, AU,Ā Words: 49,369
Roxy had her eyes closed, twirling her drum sticks expertly but unnecessarily between beats, unbothered by the strands of brown hair that had gotten loose from her ponytail. Merlin had shuffled closer to her drumset, as he often did, his feet keeping her rhythm, eyes closed as if in concentration. Percival was half hunched over his keyboard, looking at the crowd without seeing it, his voice having taken that far-away edge that only added to the ethereal of their song.
Without shame, he started swaying to their music, letting it wash over everything else so that only their harmony stayed.
In which Eggsy, Roxy, Merlin and Percival are a famous alien music band, Harry is a hero of the Galactic Patrol and Valentine and Gazelle are evil humans.
This one is my longest fic to date and quite frankly, I am insanely proud of it. Itās heavily based on the Interstella 5555 movie Daft Punk did for their Discovery album, but you donāt need to be familiar with it to read this. It took me four years to finish this and probably closer to five years to write it all since I started writing a while before I started posted it. But oh man, am I proud of this story.
Of Flowers, Thunderstorm and Tranquility - M, Hartwin, AU,Ā Words: 9,702
The fresh snow crinkles satisfyingly under his feet as Harry slowly makes his rounds of his part of the Forest. He is seconds away from humming when a whimpering sound from a bush nearby gives him pause.
Harry carefully makes his way towards the sound, on his guard. He gasps in surprise when he parts the foliage. He doesnāt know what he expected, but one thing is certain, it wasnāt the unconscious Summer Child curled up around himself.
This one is quite probably the one I will forever think as my masterpiece. The idea pounced on me and wouldnāt let me go until I had written it all. It is also on of the very few stories I ever wrote that goes higher than a T rating.
of flowers and firefliesĀ - cowritten by @insanereddragon - M, Merwin, AU,Ā Words: 43,882
āYouāre trying to tell me that youāre my dog?ā
āWell, yes. Though Iād rather you say familiar if you donāt mind.ā
āThatāsā¦ Thatās impossible. The spell didnāt work.ā
Eggsy is a familiar. For many human lifetimes, familiars live waiting for a call from one of the populations magic users. During their time of waiting, they seek out magical sanctuaries for their kind. Eggsy and Lee are on their way to one such place when tragedy strikes, and only Eggsy makes it to his new home at the Hart estate sanctuary.
Merlin is a magic user. After the death of his family, Merlin is taken in by the Hart family on their estate. Itās there, growing up beside Harry, that he first learns of his magical abilities and struggles with growing up without the support of a magical family.
Even though their paths cross while growing up on the estate, it isnāt until many years later when Merlin performs a summoning for a familiar that they connect. A friendship grows to something more while the two learn to navigate their newly formed bond.
So there are two reasons why I absolutely love this story/verse. The first one is that I got to write it with Red. Back then when we decided thatĀ āhey, we only need 10k for a mini bang, letās do this, 5k each will be a walk in the parkā we were just starting our friendship. Fastforward a few years later and I canāt envision my life with Red in it. Also we were very dumb and both have no chill because the easy 10k mini-bang we thought this story would be ended up beingĀ a 43k proper big bang
Only love can hurt like thisĀ - T, Eggsy/Tilde, Hartwin, Eggsy/Harry/Tilde,Ā Words: 8,001
Heās not stupid, his life isnāt a fairy tale, heās not going to marry the princess now that heās saved the world. Heck, if his life was a fairy tale, he would rather be the princess marrying the Knight.
Harry is dead, Eggsy has picked up his mantle as a spy and Tilde doing her job as a princess and helping to lead her country in the trying times after V-Day. But even busy as they are, Tilde and Eggsy both kept in contact and what develops between them is more than simple friendship.
All in all, life isnāt that bad.
Except Harry isnāt as dead as they all thought he was.
I started writing this before the sequel was out and my only regret is that the movie treated Tildeās character do terribly. There are so many different ways they could have handled it so that Tilde would still end up being Eggsyās motivation for really wanting the antidote and wellā¦ They really didnāt go that way, did they? Anyone, concerning Tilde, I am mostly in fanon-land where it concerns her or whatever @solrosanā comes up with because Rosa is an amazing writer and one of the very few I will accept angst from. But I digress. Consider this as a fix-it that instead of ignoring Tilde completely, goes the route I prefer when I see love triangle and transforms the situation into a healthy triad. Because I can.
I Get a Little Bitā¦ - G, Merlahad, Ghenghis Khan video AU, Words: 6,062
Merlin is putting his two children to bed when his phone starts ringing with a too familiar alert. He curses under his breath, thankful that Roxy is already fast asleep and wonāt reprimand him on his language.
Or the Genghis Khan Merlahad au everyone wanted but nobody was writing.
The summary is pretty self-explanatory here I think.
Nous nāavons rien Ć faire, rien que dāĆŖtre heureuxĀ - T, Merlahad, Merhartwin, AU,Ā Words: 5,982
āHarry, Merlin, I present you the first gift of my courtship. It is my intent, if you accept, to show you that I can not only provide for you a home and protection, but cherish you.ā
Harry and Merlin have been in a relationship for decades. Many a siren have proposed them over the years, but Eggsy is the first one theyāre willing to give a chance.
And Eggsy isnāt about to let it go to waste.
So I was insanely lucky during the last reverse-bang and managed to lay claim on a couple of @paxdraconaā artwork (I love Pax and all of her art too, itās so inspiring and wonderful and gorgeous and yeah, go stare at it you wonāt regret it). This story is what I came up with for it and I must say I am quite proud of it. Who doesnāt love a good courting fic after all?
Donāt be scared of what you donāt already knowĀ - G, Hartwin, AU,Ā Words: 14,601
āI wouldnāt mind the company for one more day.ā Harry smiles sheepishly and Eggsy spies a glimmer of something raw in his warm brown eye.
Itās all he needed to be convinced. Itās not really selfish if he suspects Harry is just lonely as he is, right?
āOkay, yeah. I can totally wait another day.ā
After heās been chased out of his commune by his dick stepfather, a surprisingly kind dragon invites Eggsy to stay at his place for the night. Or well, itās supposed to be just for one night, but Harry doesnāt seem to mind when Eggsyās stay keeps getting longer and longer.
Thatās one of the other reverse-bang I wrote and the other artwork I got to claim from @paxdraconaā which made me insanely happy at the time because well, I had already written a few ficlets about her dragon!Harry and magpie!Eggsy and I really wanted to write a longer one.
Room for Three (Not Only You and Me) - G, Merhartwin, Words: 6,797
The first time it happens Merlin honestly doesnāt know.
Though, in Merlinās defense there is nothing indicating that this is any different than usual.
Wherein Merlin date-crashes Harry and Eggsyās dates without realising it at first. Except, when Merlin tries to give them some space, they donāt seem to be happy about it.
Writing oblivious characters is always fun especially when you wouldnāt expect this character to be so clueless most of the time. Also, well this is the fic that made me meet Red so of course Imma forever recs this.
Stay - T, Hartwin,Ā Words: 2,765
They nearly walk by without seeing the other, the only reason they do in the end is because Eggsy has to suddenly sidestep a wandering child and would have tripped on his own feet if it wasnāt for the hand shooting out and righting him at the last moment.
He turns around to thank the stranger only to realise that a stranger the man is not, even if heās barely recognizable from the last memory he has of him.
After Poppygeddon, Eggsy stayed a Kingsman agent but Harry decided it was time for him to retire. Which also meant going halfway across the world and cutting all ties with his previous life. They never thought they would meet again.
I wrote this as a gift to @honey-bee-britt and while the series is still not completed, it can still be read as a stand-alone. I am so proud of this one fic too. Itās some of my best work I think.
If I only could make a deal with GodĀ -Ā T, Hartwin,Ā Words: 5,089
Heās not even sure he wants to be a part of Kingsman anymore. The Knights might accept him now that heās saved the world from Valentineās madness, but thereās only one position to fill. And he doesnāt know how to feel about taking up Galahadās mantle. Not sure how he feels about replacing Harry.
The night after Harry has been killed by Valentine and Eggsy has saved the world from the madman, a familiar fox appears to him and leads him to the Underworld.
If luck is on his side, Eggsy might just sway the God of Death into returning Harryās soul to the living.
Who wants a Hartwin retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice legend? Because this is what it is. Because this is me and of course I will write as many mythology au or fics with mythology references that I possibly can.
