TV shows game

I was tagged by the lovely @memcjo! Thank you dearie 😊

RULES: pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions. don’t cheat! tag 10 (or however many) people.

My shows are: 1) the Mandalorian 2) arrow 3) games of thrones 4) supergirl and 5) friends

Who is your favorite character in 2?

Felicity "badass cupcake" Smoak

Who is your least favorite character in 1?

Ooh, tough question, because at a personal level I LOVE all the actors, so my choice depends only on the evilness of the character and, I'm inclined to say Moff Gideon but the guy is so interesting! I guess I'll go more for the client, just as evil but a little itsy bitsy less interesting, so… yeah, the client.

What is your favorite episode of 4?

Why just one, huh?! Fine! Season 2, Episode 13, Mr. and Mrs. Mxzyptlk. Especially the end 😉😏 How can I not! Kara and Mon-el's first time together 😍🔥🔥😍

What is your favorite season of 5?

Season 5

Who is your favorite couple in 3?

Jaime and Brienne! 😍💜💚💙

Who is your favorite couple in 2?

Olicity! 😍💛❤💙

What is your favorite episode of 1?

Uff! I'm between episodes 2 and 8. I can't choose. Both are soooooo freaking good!

What is your favorite episode of 5?

Season 5 Episode 5. When Joey finds out that Monica and Chandler are secretly dating. It's too funny 😄 

What is your favorite season of 2?

Season 2, by far (except for season 1 that comes very close)

How long have you watched 1?

Very little, since the first season was released last November, but by how many times I've rewatched it, it seems like more time 😝

How did you become interested in 3?

By the time it premiered, I used to watch practically every new show to see if I liked it. I did, the rest is history 

Which do you prefer: 1, 2, or 5?

Right now, The Mandalorian! I'm obsessed with it.

Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?

3, because it has more seasons. Although, if I count rewatches... Nope, no even that way, but soon by how often I've been rewatching the Mandalorian.

If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

Kara, obviously 

Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?

Lol! No, I don't think so, but as a fic writer, I know everything is possible. AUs rule!

Pair two characters in 1. Who would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple?

I don't know. There are not that many characters to choose from and whatever unlikely combination is too strange, strange bad, for me. Besides, for this show, I'm currently otp free, I'm only interested in father-son relationships and brotps.

Overall, which show has the better storyline.

So far, the Mandalorian. Writers screwed everything up in Arrow, Supergirl, and Game of Thrones. And friends (altho funny) never had the best plot ever.

Which has better music: 2 or 4?

2… well it's the same composer I think (??) so I guess if I'm correct, both soundtracks have the same quality, but I really like Arrow's, especially the action/upbeat songs.

Tagging anyone who wants to do this!

Me being me, I started working on a one-shot instead of the gazillion on-going projects I should be writing. Seriously, my chronic case of shining new idea syndrome is going to be the death of me. Anyway… here it is a sneak peek of a for-now untitled Brieme one-shot, set on post-season 8, sorta what should've happened if Jaime married Brienne. Pure fluff on this one.

As he lays a kiss on her shoulder, she turns her head to see him. Her face has a thin layer of sweat and her cheeks have lost their usual rosy color, making the freckles on it much more evident. The discomfort she's feeling is etched on her features.

"I'm going to geld you with the Oathkeeper for this, Jaime Lannister!" she says in a lethal tone.

Jaime is wise enough to keep his face impassive and his mouth shut. He hopes it's an empty threat but Brienne is capable of carrying it out. Hell, he might let her do it because watching her in pain kills him.

For this, my first Saturday Spotlight and celebrating the International Fanwork Day, I have for you 6 fics recommendations. All are a MUST READ!!

(Click on the title to go to Ao3 link)

- OLICITY

In The Morning (You're Not Holding On To Me) by @felicityollies

WIP | Explicit | light angst, Smut

Oliver and Felicity have been friends with benefits for a long time, but Oliver is starting to want more.

I'll Take Care Of You by @hope-for-olicity

Complete | General | Fluff

Felicity calls in sick to work and Oliver becomes very worried. Set in S2 before the Russia trip!

- BRIEME

Brienne The Bold by @julieoftarth

WIP | Teen | Alternative Universe

Jaime is coming home from his life of squiring for a visit, curious to see who this Brienne is that Tyrion said is protecting him these days. Brienne takes one look at Jaime and her life goals become significantly altered.

Head, Hand, Heart by @ddagent

Complete | Explicit (V) | Alternative Universe

When Jaime slays King Aerys, there is no one to take his place. Ned, fearing a Lannister rise to power, suggests his father’s ward, Brienne of Tarth, take the throne. She reluctantly agrees, and finds an ally in Ser Jaime. His loyalty is given by asking just one question: why.

As the Maid of Tarth becomes Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the Kingslayer becomes Hand to the Queen. And, the longer they spend together, possibly more…

- THE MANDALORIAN

The Parent by @foundlings-are-the-future

Complete | General | Canon Complaint

He says he is not the child’s anything. He is a man, righting a wrong.

Nothing more.

(He is wrong.)

The Foundling by @foundlings-are-the-future

WIP | Teen | GDV | Canon Complaint

Why, exactly, did the Mandalorians decide whomever found a child was responsible for raising it?

Or, a story following the events of chapter 8, in which the Mandalorian and the child try to find the Jedi, thwart an imperial remnant after them both, and learn to see things a whole lot differently. [Sequel to The Parent]

[intrepidmare]

It's time for me to do some self-promotion, shamelessly seeking more reads, kudos, and comments. ICYMI, below I'm leaving the list of the updates/fics that I've posted in the last 2 months, separated by fandom. (Click on the title to go to Ao3 links)

ASoIaF/Games of Thrones (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth)

You Shook Me All Night Long

Mature | Ficlet | 209 words | Smut

Brienne shakes Jaime all night long.

The Mandalorian (Din Djarin & The Child)

Kadala

General | One-shot | 1.197 words | Hurt/Comfort

Mando returns to the Razor Crest after finishing a job and gets the help from the little guy.

Versión en español

Arrow (Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak)

Undisclosed Desires

Mature | 7 of 11 chapters | 29.935 words so far | Bodyguard AU

People seldom show their true face to the world. Nobody knows this better than Felicity Smoak. She worked hard to get where she is and nothing, not even a nuisance like having a stalker, can stop her. When the threat proves to be more serious than she thought, Felicity is forced to hire Green Arrow Security. Her reluctance to have a bodyguard, shadowing her all day long, transforms itself into a —irrational, some would say— dislike for the man in charge of her safety.

No other client had ever driven Oliver so crazy as Felicity Smoak does. That has nothing to do with her mesmerizing beauty or her astonishing intelligence but everything to do with her exasperating stubbornness. Honestly, he doesn't know what’s her problem is with him. If it wasn't because, Thea, his little sister, made him promise that he’d personally protect the woman, he would have quit months ago. It takes very little to ignite the fire between them. A single innocent comment can turn into an epic battle of vicious words, with the only purpose of irking each other.

Everyone around them watches all happening from the front row. They ask themselves what will befall first… Felicity and Oliver killing each other, or realizing that they’re in love.

Are You Wearing My Shirt?

General | One-Shot | 1.090 words | Fluff

Felicity has a little accident and borrows Oliver's shirt.

The Untold Truth Of The Nutcracker

General | One-Shot | 3.235 words | Fluff

On Christmas Day, Felicity and Oliver reveal a well-kept secret to their son, William.

SHIPPING POST GAME

Tagged by @nightreaderenigma

3 ships

OLICITY

They're my biggest OTP I've had in the latest years. Thanks to them and their amazing story I found great friends. I'm sad to see them go and not with the HEA I was hoping for, but they'll forever remain to me as one of the greatest couples ever.

BRIEME

Oh, gosh! These 2 have kept me sighing and hoping for this ⬇ happening. It was glorious the 30 seconds it lasted. The good thing is that despite the crap the show threw at us, the books might fix it. GRRM better don't disappoint me.

What I love the most about Jaime and Brienne is how much respect and admiration they have for each other. Their relationship is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. They bring the best in each other. #relationship goals

BUFFY AND ANGEL

I think they were my first ship ever, even if I didn't use the term back then. My teens were full of angst for these 2 and I loved every minute of it.

What did I last eat?

An arepa (a sort of bread or a really thick tortilla made of ground maize dough, which you can eat with anything you want, from [typically] cheese and butter to meat/chicken to veggies) and coffee for breakfast. This is a regular morning meal in my country.

What did I last listen to?

Something in the way you move by Ellie Goulding

What did I last watch?

The Mandalorian, again. I'm a little bit obsessed with the show. #no regrets

What am I currently reading?

I'm re-reading Witchlock (Belador series #6) by Dianna Love. And a bunch of Olicity, Briene, and Mando fics.

Tag 9 people you want to know better:

@mandalore-is-the-way @riocat01 @ddagent @maryan028 @mandoispunk @elizabethgoessouth @arrowolicity17 @thestory812 @youaremyalways-world

Only if you got the time/want to do it 😊

Writing goals

I've decided that starting next week I'll work on some (of my many) WIPs, one each day. Right now, I'm writing little bits all over the places but no making a lot of progress in any of my fics or my original novel, so I need a schedule. This way I can focus on one project for 24 hours (sans the sleep hours) and force myself not to think about the others.

More urgent projects that I'm working on:

Undisclosed Desires ~ Ch 8-11 (Olicity fic) [i need to finish it!]

I Kneel Before No One (Brieme fic)

Family Is More Than Blood (Mando fic)

Enchanted Fate ~ translation to English (Original Work) [translate, rewrite/add scenes, and finish it]

Once I'm done with Undisclosed Desires, I'll work on my Enraptured Submission series, and Savin' me. I have those stories painfully neglected 😖😩😫

[intrepidmare]

Lost in his dismal thoughts, Jaime takes a few seconds to realize that his phone is ringing. The familiar sound dissipates slightly the dark cloud hovering over his head, allowing the hint of a grin to break on his lips. He recognizes to whom the ringtone belongs to. 

He snatches the device from the coffee table a little too eager to grab it, the device slips from his fingertips. Using his quick reflexes honed by years of fencing training, he manages to catch the phone before it crashes against the floor. 

Exhaling sharply in relief, he answers the call by thumbing the screen.

"Hey, wench."

Chapter 1, I Kneel Before No One.

[intrepidmare]

I'm weak!

I told myself I was going to write after lunch, going offline so I don't get tempted with Tumblr, fanfics, insta, etc... But then, @ddagent posted the new chapter of Head, Hand, Heart and I just have to read it. I MUST!
